WINNIPEG — Sheri Ross and her family are now seeking answers after their loved one, Stacey Ross, died in a Winnipeg emergency room in January.
On Jan. 4, Stacey Ross was experiencing severe chest pain and went to the emergency room at Winnipeg’s St. Boniface Hospital. Sheri Ross said her sister waited more than 12 hours before being told her sickness was a virus and she was sent home.
But her condition worsened and she returned by ambulance to the same hospital on Jan. 15, waiting more than 11 more hours before being admitted.
A CT scan revealed pneumonia in Stacey Ross’ lungs. But shortly after, she went into cardiac arrest.
Sheri Ross said her family recently met with the CEO of St. Boniface Hospital, the director of the hospital’s emergency room, and the hospital’s critical incident review team.
