A Canadian woman could be the first patient to be diagnosed as suffering from “climate change” after doctors said heatwaves and poor air quality brought on acute breathing problems.

Kyle Merritt, an emergency room doctor in Nelson, British Columbia who was responsible for the diagnosis, told Glacier Media that it was the first time in a decade he had determined a patient’s cause of suffering to be climate change.

“If we’re not looking at the underlying cause, and we’re just treating the symptoms, we’re just gonna keep falling further and further behind,” he said.

Merritt added that the patient, who is in her 70s, was diagnosed in the summer shortly after a heatwave in June sent temperatures soaring past 121 degrees Fahrenheit.

This is as “scientific” as transgenderism.

NOT that she’s been vaxxed????

[Dilbert San Diego]

ok here we go. Global warming will now be considered a public health crisis.

This reminds me how some people, have wanted to treat what they call “gun violence” as a public health emergency.

Are they going to pay her $450,000?

A Canadian fussing about a heat wave is like an Arkansas fan fussing about all their national championships.

I'm having trouble believing it got into the 120's there.

Science that is serious about finding truth being replaced by “the science” which is only serious about sucking up to political fashions.

Yep, climate change is definitely coming to North America ASAP. It’s called “Winter”.

Does the Canadian medical insurance pay physicians for these kinds of diagnoses and treatments?
