Kamloops hospital OB/GYNs say they were forced to ration care between patients
October 20, 2025
The seven obstetrician-gynecologists who tendered their resignations from a Kamloops hospital this month say they were routinely forced to choose which mothers and babies to treat as staff shortages and extreme burnout made conditions unsafe.
Their concerns are outlined in a statement they released Monday, which provides more detail into what compelled the entire group to step away from in-hospital care at Royal Inland Hospital.
“When we are forced to ration care, have patients wait longer than they should, or suffer the harm that long waits can cause, everyone involved experiences stress and moral injury,” said doctors Hilary Baikie, Jennifer Kozic, Paula Lott, Erin Adams, Michael Hsiao, Rita Chuang and Christine Sutton.

The fire that ravaged roughly a third of the buildings in the Alberta town of Jasper last year exploded so quickly that crews had no chance to contain the initial blaze, according to a federal government report.Three lightning strikes within three minutes ignited fires that quickly merged about 23 kilometres south of Jasper on the evening of July 22, 2024, the report from Natural Resources Canada said. Within 10 minutes of ignition, flames were licking treetops, closing the window for crews to suppress the fire that eventually flattened swaths of one of Canada’s most picturesque towns.
