This is not the accurate portrayal of our Canadian Health Care system because they are developed to provide a quality health care available to all citizens but totally it’s an irony of what it should be.
I don’t think this is a race issue they only misunderstood Mr. Sinclair because they knew that he is a homeless person and needs a place to stay on. The staff was irresponsible for their duties because the security informed them what happened to him and that contribute a lot for this tragedy to happened.
With regards to Brian Sinclair case, according to Dr. Balachandra that Mr Sinclair could have been saved by simple catheter change and antibiotics. So if it’s only simple why do Sinclair clinic physicians have to refer him to the Emergency Room physician. Why? Is his job only for consultation? Yes, I even asked my sister but then she said that its true and only prescribed medication and some are through referrals. Okay! So Sinclair went to the Winnipeg Health Science Center to seek medical attention but then he waited for 34 hours. Does the triage nurse don’t even bother to checked if everybody was called or not? It’s really negligence on their job. Why they also allowed people to come there but not for medical reasons. These people are homeless and it's really disgusting because it's a hospital; they should allow only those who come for medical reasons. For his family shame on you, when Mr. Sinclair needs you and you’re not around, he is homeless and sick and now you are going to file a suit for what reasons Mr. Sinclair was dead already or it’s obvious because of the money.
I really don't understand the role of a family physician. They are only there for check - ups and do some tests. The fact that there's a bigger issue about lacking of physicians in the hospitals. Those simple things like changing catheter and giving antibiotics if done by a family physicians instead of sending them to the Emergency Room(ER) can give more difference in the ER situation. It will surely lessen the patients who go there with some minor health problems. It's really funny to think that Brian Sinclair's family have filed a case against Health Sciences Center Hospital. They are like Pontius Pilate, they're only washing their hands. On the first place they are also to be blame on what have happen to Brian. If they only took care of him when he needs them the most. These, I believe might not happen.
ReplyDelete@Norma. It's quite interesting
ReplyDeleteRegarding your assessment on Brian Sinclair's case was very logic and fair. You made the case
become sensation as you mentioned in you blog's. That's it.
I really think it was racism because that he was native and was dressed poorly and probably was seen in the ER numerous times. They probably thought he was just another intoxicated native off the street.Elma
