Catherine Ford was admitted to a Calgary hospital after major emergency surgery.

She says the experience opened her eyes to the sheer wastefulness of the hospital system.

Ford : There is no dignity, peace, quiet, privacy or modesty when one is under the control of the health system.

The nurses and aides could not have been nicer, she says.
