Guy Pollock, a 71-year-old man with severe COPD, spent over 24 hours in a hallway of Saskatoon’s Royal University Hospital while being treated for pneumonia, estimating that over 2,000 people passed by him during that time. Despite his traumatic experience, Pollock expressed understanding for the healthcare workers, as overcrowding in hospitals remains a significant issue in Saskatchewan, prompting government attention and promises of additional resources.
