Brian Sinclair Case

Brian Sinclair died after waiting 34 hours in a hospital emergency room in 2008.

A man, named Brian Sinclair was found dead in his wheelchair at Winnipeg’s Health Sciences Centre Emergency Room in September 2008.  Case is very controversial in medical history.  Something happen wrong and the loss of life are resulting. 
I cannot justify the Canadian Health Care System based on the one case study.  Every coin has two sides.  A man waiting for treatment in his wheelchair up to 34 hours it is very
Ridiculous about emergency room.  Emergency room that means anyone should get treatment as soon as possible.  If the man himself didn’t approach the any care giver staff but no one of them notice the patient who was waiting for treatment or the man was here more than 30 hours.  Security staff or any other staff should ask him, “Why are you been here so long?” Family member of the Brain Sinclair should not take care and they didn’t try to find out him but after death they arrived for the lawsuit.  As per my view Canadian Health Care System is very unique and everyone should be cover under the insurance and eligible for any kind of treatment which is covered by Canada Health Act.  However there is some communication gap or system error occurred and the man lost his life in waiting room.
  This is not a race issue.  It is a case of communication gap between care givers to patient and family to family member.  In Canada everyone under the one roof there is no issue like racisms but its humanitarian issue.  Many people across the country are suffering from illness and have bad experience of our Health care system. That means they are not targeting the such kind of people. Canada is multicultural and not easy to harass, when they are in emergency waiting room. All Canadian pay the taxes for better living assistance and better system, based on ethics everyone should treat equally however you like the people or not. 
I am totally agreed with this opinion that waiting in Emergency Room is not a big problem but you couldn’t get treatment until you die is a big problem.  Government should find out the solution of this gap.  Blame on each other and giving some financial help to family after his death is not a solution of this case.
I would like to say about Terri’s comment that we must constantly look for easy ways to fix the system.  He has nice solution of long waiting and not spoken with the nurse.  This is the way where you can find who is longer in waiting room.

  1. "I just wonder why do ER should be keeping a patient in a very long hours of wait. It may not be a big deal to many but it encourages incidents like Sinclair's tragedy to be happening again. Since patients are in ER they always need immediate treatment." Nimfa Rosario

  2. I think we should not blame on any one. mistake happening and someone responsible for that. There may be shortage of nurse or doctor and system runs slow and take time for treatment. Some people should come ahead and make some volunteer work in the ER or any department where it is needful for the makind so we should save not one but more than one life
