in Moncton. The lawsuit names Ms. Ruest as the nurse who was fired. The allegations in the lawsuit have not been tested in court.The Globe’s analysis shows emergency C-sections at the hospital spiked 50 per cent over the three-year period between the fiscal years 2013-2014 to 2015-2016, to 238 from 158. The increase occurred over a period in which the total number of deliveries at the Moncton Hospital was decreasing.
“That sounds like something you should be paying attention to,” said Jennifer Blake, chief executive officer of the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada. In Moncton, it is not clear when or how suspicions about Ms. Ruest’s alleged activities came to light.
