Larry Saves the Canadian Healthcare System - LAUNCH - Eps. 1-4
A research-informed satirical musical in 11 episodes. Larry, an idealistic young policy analyst, dreams of achieving change from within - only to be foiled at every turn. Fast-paced, irreverent, and chock full of nutritious evidence!
Ep1: Larry, an idealistic young policy analyst, enters The System That’s Not and embraces his mission to set it right.
Please share to raise awareness.
Ep2: Larry visits the Emergency Room, and discovers it’s crowded with patients whose problems an ER can’t fix.
Please share to raise awareness.
Ep3: Larry’s investigation leads from ER to hospital ward to nursing home – each packed with patients who ought to be someplace else.
Please share to raise awareness.
Ep.4: Larry learns the Hospital President’s solution to crowding: Discharge patients faster – by any means necessary.
Please share to raise awareness.
We would like to express our heartfelt appreciation to frontline healthcare providers. While we may satirize the system, we are deeply grateful to the people working within it – during the pandemic and beyond.
