Doctor Clinically Diagnoses Patient With ‘Climate Change’

A doctor diagnosed a Canadian patient with “climate change” after a slew of health problems suddenly grew worse amid a heatwave.

A patient came into the emergency room in Kootenay Lake Hospital in Nelson, British Colombia, struggling to breathe. Dr. Kyle Merritt assessed that worsening wildfire smoke in the region exacerbated the patient’s asthma, Times Colonist reports. The doctor clinically diagnosed the patient with “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,” Merritt said.

“It’s me trying to just … process what I’m seeing. We’re in the emergency department, we look after everybody, from the most privileged to the most vulnerable, from cradle to grave, we see everybody,” he continued. “And it’s hard to see people, especially the most vulnerable people in our society, being affected. It’s frustrating.”
