At Etobicoke General Hospital, no two days in the ED are ever the same—a reality Dr. Gurjit Bajwa, Emergency Physician and Osler Foundation Board Member, has embraced throughout his career. With his team of dedicated health care professionals, he tackles an unending stream of cases, each demanding focus, quick thinking, and collaboration.

Today is no exception. Dr. Bajwa’s day begins with a trauma case—a young man involved in a motor vehicle collision. Swift action from paramedics and the ED team ensures the patient is stabilized, and he’s prepared for surgery. “Every second counts,” Dr. Bajwa explains. “We rely on each other, and that trust is what makes this work possible.”

By mid-morning, the ED is at full capacity. A patient with stroke symptoms arrives, triggering an immediate response from the stroke team. Within minutes, they’ve administered life-saving intervention. Moments like these, he says, underscore the importance of preparation, communication, and teamwork in an emergency setting.

Etobicoke General’s ED is an essential lifeline, providing care for over 93,000 patients annually. For Dr. Bajwa, the demands of the job are balanced by the satisfaction of making a tangible difference. “I love the diversity of the work we do here,” he says. “We’re serving a community that’s growing and changing, and every day is an opportunity to make an impact.”

At Etobicoke General, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional care, right when it’s needed most. But great care doesn’t happen by chance—it takes a dedicated team, the right tools, and the support of a community that believes in building something better, together.
