"Humber River Regional Hospital has fired a registration clerk and apologized to a Mexican refugee family whose 7-year-old son, suffering a head injury, was turned away at the emergency room earlier this month.
This is an appalling incident to have occurred in my country. I'm wondering whether the clerk isn't an American hiding here - just kidding sort of .
Anyway I wouldn't have fired the clerk, which likely will create its own set of social problems. I would have had the clerk apologize to the mother and her children then I'd make sure the clerk knows s/he lives in Canada which, 'til now as Harper and his Reform Party thugs are in power, is a civilized country that looks after any human being within side its borders. PERIOD.
The firing tells me I'd be looking at the hospitals administration and asking some hard HR questions.
