Roy Green - Sun Dec 14 - Tragic Death Of Brian Sinclair

The tragic story of the death of Brian Sinclair in a Winnipeg hospital emergency room waiting room. An inquest into the death of Mr. Sinclair, a double amputee, who died of a treatable bladder infection after being ignored for 34 hours, resulted in 63 recommendations for the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority. Mr. Sinclair's family point at "racism against aboriginal people in Canada's health care system" (Global News) as the cause and suggest the inquest was a "wasted opportunity" to get at the root causes of racism.

In 2011, while I was hosting on Corus Alberta radio we were talking about a recent suicide at the Royal Alex hospital E.R. in Edmonton, when the mother of the 34 year old man who hanged himself called into the show. It was an emotion-filled call and resulted in many additional calls with stories of E.R. experiences in Canada.
