Photo by Eamonn Maher Patient must wait for medical help Continued from pg. 3 Cindy McDonell, chief operating officer at Georgetown Hospital, said she could not talk specifically about any patient's experience. But she says hospital policy does not allow any emergency room doctor to advise a patient to just show up at another hospital. "That is not part of our process," she says. As they were leaving, Ford-Pimento said they were told by Georgetown staff that Ford had an appointment at the Brampton Hospital Fracture clinic on Thursday. The clinic can decide if surgery is warranted. But Ford-Pimento didn't feel they could wait because her sister was in so much pain. They drove to Oakville-Trafalgar Memorial Hospital. A doctor there told them there was no one able to handle "a break that bad" and they would have to go to Brampton Civic. There, they waited about four hours before being told that nothing could be done before the fracture clinic appointment on June 16. So Ford-Pimento took her sister to her home in Acton where she and Christine's husband have been helping to care for her. The pain continued to be so bad, despite the pain medication prescribed by Brampton Hospital, that the family called an ambulance to take Christine back to Georgetown Hospital on Sunday. She was given more pain medication and her fracture clinic consultation was moved up to Tuesday. Lorraine Lynch, manager, public relations at William Osler said she could not comment on individual patient experiences at the hospital. -- Torstar News Service Look for our flyer in today's paper!
