New anesthetists could reduce wait times at RIH
KAMLOOPS — There is good news on the horizon for those waiting for surgery at Royal Inland Hospital.
Local health officials working in collaboration have successfully recruited three new anesthetists for the hospital’s surgical department.
The hospital’s head of anesthesiology Dr. John Guy says the third is set to arrive this summer.
Guy says that means another operating room can open up as soon as September, and that could ease a big backlog.
