A Winnipeg woman survived septic shock after being left unattended on a gurney in the Health Sciences Centre ER for eight hours, despite severe symptoms including a perforated bowel.
She was told she could leave, returned home, and later re-entered the hospital, where doctors said she had only two hours to live.
She underwent emergency surgery, spent 11 days in ICU, and was released after a month and a half.
Her experience highlights systemic issues in Manitoba’s healthcare system, including overcrowding, understaffing, and delayed patient care, prompting calls for greater patient advocacy.
