In case you’re wondering, Calgary is the best Canadian city in which to have a heart attack.
That’s coming from a study conducted by scientists at the University of Calgary, so take that for what it’s worth — either favoritism or wishful thinking.
Nonetheless, they claimed that Calgarians are more likely to survive cardiac arrest because they have “quick and easy access to life-saving angioplasty treatment 24 hours a day at Foothills Medical Centre,” according to a CBC.ca report.
“Treating people immediately with angioplasty can lead to lower death rates and better outcomes,” researcher William Ghali told the CBC.
The researchers said Alberta is on par with the national average in terms of providing angioplasty treatment, but Ontario leads the nation with more than 70 percent of adults having access to such treatment.
New Brunswick is pulling up the rear, with only about 15.8 percent of adults in close proximity. On top of that, there’s a paramedic who’s spending all of his time at Tim Hortons, complaining about the coffee, and then complaining about getting banned from Tim Hortons.
