Hot Enough For You?

   The heat and humidity has been at record setting levels in southern Ontario, with Toronto just completing eight consecutive days of extreme heat alerts.. I'm really a winter person so I grumble my way through July and August every year, but some Torontonians had extra reason to damn the heat yesterday when the heat and humidity combined to crash the ventilation system cooling the air in the operating rooms at St. Michael's Hospital. Emergency surgeries had to be diverted to other hospitals across the GTA, and all elective operations were rescheduled, said hospital spokesperson David Davenport. The operating rooms are expected to re-open today and the hospital will be increasing its operating room capacity to catch up with any backlog,according to Davenport.The rest of the hospital was unaffected since it uses a separate cooling system.
