I was refused medical help when returned back to hospital shorty after a LP that was done in the ER. Hospital was covering up that fact I had septecemia and then Meningitis. Only in Canada could they get away with this kind of thing. Patients are not safe in any way.. Illegal things are covered up.. Patients are then blacklisted from care and refused medical tests to conceal damage even at private clinics. Concealing damage is another little thing we need to worry about because it makes it impossible for an injured patient to sue and concealment can go on for years. Another tactic used against us.

I am sorry, but not surprised, to hear about your experience with our health care system. We would like to hear more of your story. Perhaps you could tell us your son's first name, how you came to learn the truth about his adverse event, where your search for accountability has taken you and any lessons you've learned along the way that may be helpful to others in a similar situation. You can share more details of your story by sending them to heather@thepatientfactor.com Hello Marina,

The attending nurses dropped him out of bed and he sustained another brain injury. The hospital staff tried to hide it and lied when I found out about it. Alot has been going since....a horror story along with many others that need to be told and made public.
