We are worried

dr Jean-François Joncas works mainly at the Hôtel-Dieu de Sherbrooke. The current situation worries him. At the Hôtel-Dieu, we fear that certain surgical activities will be transferred from Fleurimont here, as this will limit our access to the operating room.

I think everyone is in some way responsible for what happens. At the management level, at the personnel level, it is not always easy to cope in such crisis situations.
