Brian Sinclair Case

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.

Brian Sinclair Case

I believe the healthcare system of Canada was definitely doesn’t have any intentions of purposely letting a human being die with no assistance as the case with Brian Sinclair. As seen on video Brian was approached by a triage nurse to offer assistance although said that he was not registered. It is the triage nurses responsibility to assess and find the proper care for the patient. I find it impossible for no one to see a man sitting there for 34 hours straight with no ability to use the washroom or be in a comfortable position to lay and rest. 

Although the waiting room is not visible to the triage nurse from where they are because of the crowd it should not have taken long to especially notice a man in a wheelchair who can't even talk and actually speak to ask someone for help. In some ways it could have been a race issue but race culture or background if even should be last to judge about someone especially when it is in a life and death situation. Innocent people like Brian who doesn’t choose to be in the situation he was, shouldn't be a victim of taking his life away for unknown reason. 
            On another note, where is Brian’s family? How can a man in such a condition bring himself to the hospital with no family by his side? But now there is nothing left to do to bring him life back they're asking for money in return. Being at his side and taking care of him in the first place could have been save Brian’s life and they could be with him right now instead of fighting for the 1.6 million they want in return. There should not have a price to replace a human beings life. If the right people were doing their job no matter who the person is, Brian could still be alive getting medically treated properly enjoying life with us, as we speak.

Let him rest in peace…
