The strategy is costing the province $250,000 a day. By mid-July, 2020, according to an internal message to the optometrists' association from its president, Dr. Sheldon Salaba, 43 per cent of redirected patients were being sent to emergency wards while most of the rest were being sent to physicians. Salaba said the job action could cost $400,000 a day if all patients are redirected to ERs instead of to family doctors. The campaign has, for good reason, come under fire for sending patients to hospitals right now. If there wasn't a pandemic going on, this action may have been justified, but considering the current situation, the action is entirely unjustified! They are potentially exposing patients to the COVID-19 virus and taxing our already crowded emergency departments. Patients with eye problems suitable for an optometrist's care will likely wait for hours to be seen while medical staff treat patients with more urgent issues, wasting everybody's time. If the patents were simply allowed to go to their optometrists, no one's time would be wasted. Wasting people's time unnecessarily is unjustified so we must let them go to the optometrist. Dionne Aleman, an associate professor at the University of Toronto who specializes in pandemic planning, said that any patient who has a minor problem should not get sent to an emergency department during the pandemic. If they do this, it is akin to using them as "cannon fodder" in their fight with the province since emergency departments are the most dangerous places to catch Covid-19. Although optometrists claim this is just inconveniencing patients, patients are facing a lot more than just a minor inconvenience, especially during a pandemic when everyone is being called on to make sacrifices in a common fight. Either optometrists really prioritise caring for their patients or they only care about their wallets. They have certainly shown how much they care about their wallets, so caring about their patients can't be their priority. A doctor who doesn't prioritise their patients is acting in a way that is unjustified. a.
