It’s one of those issues where the idea itself may have merit, but it needs to be championed by people who have some idea what they are doing. I’m certainly not opposed to a teaching hospital, and it may be a great idea. But the notion that somebody will be elected Regional Chair on a platform of opening such a hospital and will then go and do it is ridiculous. A serious Chair would support the studies and background needed to make it happen and work with the levels of government and other supporters who would actually do it. And would certainly not stir up resentment against the current set of hospitals.
