A pair of Montreal-area seniors are ripping into Quebec’s health system after an experience that left them feeling upset and disrespected.
The couple says they were left waiting for hours at a hospital, even though the doctor they were waiting for had left.
“I find it very inconsiderate and unprofessional,” said 72-year-old Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac resident Karen Williams.

“I was having trouble breathing, so we called 911,” 75-year-old Brian recounted.
