Good money after bad, redux

I've never worked in the operating room, but I don't think it would be a good thing if, in the middle of a major operation, water started pouring through the light fixtures in the ceiling. The source of the water? An overflowing toilet upstairs.

That's what happened at Kingston General Hospital last week. Oh, and they found black mould in the pediatrics wing. Not to worry, they say. It wasn't toxic mould.

According to the article in The Whig-Standard, the idea of building a new facility is being entertained. Of course, several studies will have to be carried out. The suits will drink coffee, look at some pretty Powerpoint presentations .. and the walls will continue to crumble around them. Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose.
