In yet another example of B.C.'s health-care system being at the breaking point, Fraser Health has ordered a review after a patient was left in a hallway overnight while bleeding heavily from an untreated miscarriage.
, Fraser Health has ordered a review after a patient was left in a hallway overnight while bleeding heavily from an untreated miscarriage.
"I was bleeding through my clothes," she told CTV News. "I tried to get up to walk and it was no-go, just instantly dizzy, nauseous, and I needed to lay down even to recuperate my breath." "I said, 'Is there anything that you can give her?' and it was, right away, tense, confrontational," said Estevan Garcia, who described being dismayed at the volume of blood, drop in blood pressure, and ongoing pain Portillo had been experiencing.Shortly after that, the couple says, a doctor finally arrived to prescribe painkillers, but Garcia was met with hostility by the same staffer when he tried to get Portillo a pillow.
"I take all complaints very seriously and review them thoroughly," said Dr. Craig Murray, Fraser Health's director of emergency medicine for the area that includes Langley Memorial Hospital.
