A woman has lost confidence in the health system because she feels that her mother has been the victim of negligence during her hospitalization.

Sonia Lafrance and his family have lived a nightmare these last few months after that his mother had suffered a STROKE in February.

Aged 75, the lady found herself at the Centre hospitalier de Lanaudière, in Joliette, for nearly two months.

“My mother was neglected. Yes, to be abandoned,” said Ms. Lafrance in an interview with TVA News.

This last has decided to take the floor to denounce what she calls the neglect of his mother during his hospitalization.

“She has been left in its droppings. It has been found, a nurse, and me, without panties, of ease, of dried dung in his bed. It means that it’s been a long time. He had probably forgotten! Without malice, but by overflow of the staff”, she added.

Physiotherapist and occupational therapist made recommendations to improve its state, but the septuagenarian would not have received only a fraction of the treatments.

“The services that my mother received, it was, on average, 10 minutes of physio twice a week, maximum, so that a case like that, it should be every day,” she lamented.

Ms. Lafrance has filed a complaint, up to record his conversation with a leader pointing to a significant lack of staff, particularly at the level of the orderlies.

“It can happen big gaps important. When there are large, significant gaps, is that there is a lack of staff,” she said.

The manager has even hinted that the management of the establishment could decrease the hiring criteria.

“We are reassessing hiring criteria because before they were a little more severe. Now, it miss so much of the world that management has taken the alignments different.”

Today, his mother is in a CHSLD and his trust in the system is shaken.

“You’re crying, and you say: it doesn’t make sense, how is it that one is in a system like this,” she concluded.
