“Sad and disappointed”: Kamloops ER physician reacts to Wednesday protest outside Royal Inland Hospital
KAMLOOPS — After hundreds of people gathered along Columbia Street on Wednesday (Sept. 1) to protest proof-of-vaccination requirements, Kamloops physicians are speaking up.
Dr. Eric Haywood-Farmer is an emergency room physician at Royal Inland Hospital, and says staff who watched the demonstration in front of the hospital Wednesday were appalled at the protest message — and the location choice.
“They’re protesting their ability to go to a restaurant, and I’m fighting to save peoples’ lives.”
