WINNIPEG – The family of a Winnipeg woman who died while laying in pain on a hospital floor is getting a long-awaited apology from the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority.
Last fall, Mohinder Singh, 57, went to Seven Oaks General Hospital with a severe headache but was told she would have to wait for a CT scan, so she eventually laid down on the floor because it was too painful to sit in a wheelchair.
After being transferred to another hospital, a test revealed she had a brain aneurysm, and she died the next day.
Milton Sussman, head of the health authority, said he has passed his condolences on to her family and said the authority is changing critical incident reporting times.
He said they will work to have reviews done within 88 days, and if it looks like it could take longer, families would be notified.
He said the family deserves to know why the incident happened.
Singh’s husband, Darshan, had complained that a review of the incident had taken twice as long as they were promised.
