Mom with seriously sick baby turned away from hospital

Great Article, leaves you still wondering the question you had when you read the title, WHY was she turned away? I mean it's hard to think of a reason you'd turn away a 7 month old who for three days has been vomiting and having diarrhea.

Considering that it is the RUH, only thing I can think of is maybe a nurse in training that didn't know what she was doing.

That wouldn't make sense though. I don't believe trainees are ever put in charge of triage. Even if they were they'd have a trainer to override their decision.

Not the brightest mom in the World: "My son could possibly be dying and nobody would help me," La Freniere said. "So we have to take him back to the hospital."

Your kid had a virus and had a wicked case of the shits.

Get him some electrolytes you tool.

Hard to give him electrolytes if he's vomiting.

Christ OTI, what are you thinking. The kid went into convulsions. He should have been admitted right away. 2 million children die every year from diarrhea, mostly in 3 world countries. Have we really sunk that low?

Doctors and nurses who graduated C averages are found in hospitals.

To be fair, in the UofS they usually need somewhere around 90% just to get into med. Almost all the medical areas are pretty hard to get into, nursing is a easier to get into as it is direct entry and can be taken at pretty well any college in Canada.

Are all the Doctor's and nurses in RUH, graduates of the BN and MD programs there? Even respected doctors and nurses, with years of experience can screw up.

WTF kind of ghoul refuses medical care to a baby?

A Teabagger?

Feel free to edit that, Andy, as I'd rather not start my Monday this way.

Well who was it that yelled let them die in a political rally/speech/debate by Republicons?

Put a name to this person.
