Familie eines Mannes, der im Wartezimmer der Notaufnahme starb, „entsetzt“ über die Kommentare des Premierministers von New Brunswick zur Klage

“There was an inquiry into Mr. Mesheau’s death, which highlighted important changes that needed to be made.… The inquiry did not find any instances of negligence on the part of these nurses,” Higgs said in the statement. “To suggest otherwise by naming them in the lawsuit is unacceptable.”

I agree naming the nurses in the suit is pretty scummy if there’s no negligence on their part.

It sounds like the issue was hospital beds.

Edit: from the inquest.

The two-day inquest heard evidence from 10 witnesses and ended with three recommendations from the jury:

Health agencies and government departments “collaborate and show ownership” to resolve the “bed-blockage issue.” This refers to when ER patients who have been admitted to hospital have to remain in ER beds because no beds on other units are available, largely because of the number of people waiting in hospital for a long-term care placement, such as a nursing home.

Eight recommendations that stemmed from an internal Horizon review following Mesheau’s death, such as having dedicated staff to monitor patients in the waiting room, should also be “fully implemented, funded and staffed.”

Staff should be equipped with hand-held electronic devices to record patient vitals.
