Thank a liberal 3rd world canaduh
I got sepsis waited almost 2 days in the emergency room will I watched staff scroll on their phones and eat takeout food
More DEI will solve the problem.
Import the third world become the third world
I've had to sneak my brother-in-law out of the hospital in order to save his life. The incompetence and dictatorial attitude at Canadian hospitals is STUNNING. After reading some other stories on here, all I can say is I'm so sorry for your loss.
They said thjs would happen due to the use of antibiotics weakening natural immunity.
My son developed sepsis and the medical treatment he received in Timmins was totally inadequate. It was not recognized that his immune system was in trouble and they kept sending him home from emerg with Tylenol. I knew that time was not on his side. I fast tracked him to here in Ottawa and the hospital triage nurse at the Ottawa Civic Hospital recognized immediately upon her assessment that he was in trouble. He was fast tracked, admitted to ICU for aggressive antibiotic treatment. The Ottawa Civic Medical team saved his life and said that had he not come to their emergency department when he did, it would have been a very different picture. Definitely a national training program to make sure the sign of sepsis are recognized quickly and treatment started asap is nevessary.
Bring in the third world become the third world
My father passed away from sepsis on January 26th this year 😢 we didn't even know he was sick
17 emergency room visits within a month of giving birth to my child. I went into septic shock. I lived, and I am beyond grateful 🙏 I feel for these father's, their situation was nearly my families situation. All because of doctor error. We are in alberta and doing our best to fight for change in an extremely broken system.
Sorry I don't believe nothing of the health industry publishes it's all corruption
Break out the mask !!!! Lock your doors !!!!!
This is completely true my exs mother died from this in 2017 she even went to hospital in Meaford Ontario and they send her home saying she has pulled a back muscle and has a flu. No tests were ever done until it was too late and about 3 days later after visiting a hospital she would be air lifted to London hospital where she later died . She suffered and it got even worse actually I won't even say it here but this could have been easily treated.
I am a three time survivor. Each case was caused by Cellulitis.
My husband died of sepsis, cold sweat, I didn't know the signs
Maybe peole are waiting too long to go to their dr and seek treatment
Canadian researchers 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
We are drifting into substandard healhcare.
My dad passed in 2017 after getting sepsis at St. Mike's
This just happened to my dad and he passed away in July 2025!!!
Need probiotics it's sad 😿 had to suggest it to the doc.. but it helped my mom's h r with her sepsis
My 25 yr old huband died almost 20 yrs ago from Sepsis. I can relate to the two men who lost their wives with young kids. My heart breaks for them
My mother died within 48 hours of the onset of symptoms in a Raleigh, NC hospital.
It took 3 years and a whole lot of damage for them to deal with my BROKEN SPINE. If I end up with sepsis, I'm dead.
Anyone walk into the Rockyview General in Calgary lately? Looks like a third world hospital. There was a bandaid on the floor by my friends bed for three days, needle caps in the sheets, pillow cases not changed absolute laziness demonstrated by international nurses. I felt dirty leaving.
I almost died of this in 2017. I had appendicitis, which ruptured.
When you bring in immigrants with no vetting, training or orientation around Canadian practices this is what happens. We have refugees who are not checked for vaccinations. It's been reported a lot of kids in schools don't have vaccinations, well if they are coming from other countries they wouldn't and there is no vetting. Canada has just gone stupid. Our institutional practices and processes have fallen apart as we operate according to DEI and no training. Our systems are falling apart the biggest one our government, our hospitals and our education systems. Best to avoid hospitals at all costs.
We cannot rely on human error, from inconsistent training, memory lapses, human fatigue, DEI. AI should be implemented in hospitals to help quickly diagnose and treat these very preventable conditions. We should use our latest technology to protect lives.
Lol health standards fell decades ago
Has alot to do with hospital time..I went to the hospital because I thought I was having a stroke.told them that when I checked in..then I sat in the waiting room for 7 and a half hours.
Our health care system has sunk below acceptable levels since covid. Private health care is thriving. Walk in Clinics are staffed by temporary drs who don't know you. My GP of 20+ years is booked solid but now has phone appointments but fails to call. Discussions in the office lead nowhere as promised prescription drug wasn't sent via the online system. Printed copies were the best way to check for errors before leaving the Dr's office.
Immune systems attacking the host. Heard about this being in the covid vaxxine
Import the third world, become the third world.
My mother was in her seventies when she got a gallbladder operation. They released my mother from the hospital knowing full well that she was very sick. A nurse wheeled my mother down to the lobby with a basin to throw up in until her ride came to pick her up. My brother got out of the car and walked into the hospital expecting our mother to look somewhat better than when she went in but that wasn't the case at all. He asked the nurse what was wrong with Mom because she didn't look right and the nurse responded with "She just had an operation, what do you expect?" My brother had to get help with putting our mother in the car and she couldn't even walk once she got home. She was put to bed as soon as she got in and everyone took turns watching over her. She couldn't eat, she was vomiting, she couldn't get out of bed. My youngest brother took our mother to the hospital and she was admitted immediately and they had to transport her by helicopter to the Ottawa hospital where she was diagnosed with Sepsis. She was in intensive care for a week and then transported by ambulance back to the hospital where she had her operation. We knew that her doctor had failed her by forcing her out of the hospital knowing full well that she was deathly sick after her operation. They didn't bother to take her temperature, blood pressure or even do a blood test before she was released. They knew, they didn't care. Our mother survived because she had her family looking after her once she got home. What happens to those who don't have anybody and end up dying? My mothers case costed the healthcare system far more than if the doctor had just done his job. Simple procedures would have had her stay at the hospital longer until the infection was dealt with.
They’re diverting from the REAL problem; we’re prioritizing 80yo over 22yo in OUR ERs. It all got worse since the pandemic. And misogyny.
Unfortunately the doctors and nurses are blind to the patient's progress and prefer to ignore pleas for help most times and are for some reason incredibly anti-antibiotic even to the extreme detriment of patients 🙁
Here we go again
My brother died from sepsis after surgery. If you don’t have to go into hospital don’t. All the worst infections are in the hospitals.
This is Unacceptable health care! Canada? Shameful! 😢
Lower health standards could lead to more diseases and strain on hospitals. Important to support public health improvements.
No teaching about sepsis in medical school ???😮
You should also be considering latent virus activation.
Falling standards, yet the feds still take 50% of our paycheques. Where’s the money going? Oh wait, the banker PM will make it better with the non existing budget.
