Montreal`s crowded emergency rooms

Winter is a busy time for Ste. Justine`s and Montreal Children`s hospital while they care for children with fevers, coughs, and colds.

Montreal Doctor`s have stated that most of the children who are taken into the emergency room do not need to be there.

They feel that children who are sufferring from the flu or influenza should be taken to the ER.

They have also suggested that parents call Info-sante at 811 to confirm their children`s condition before sending them to the ER.
