A Halifax-area woman is frustrated after her diabetic husband missed a meal during a stay at the Victoria General Hospital, and had another meal arrive several hours late.
Lori Furber wants to see some accountability after her husband missed a meal and had another hours late during a stay at the Victoria General Hospital in Halifax.
“The hospital hadn’t provided him food since about 6:30 or 7 from his dinner tray the night before,” said Furber, who is from the Sackville area. “We all know our health-care system is in crisis, but this should not happen.” She said she ended up getting her husband some food to tide him over until lunch, which didn’t arrive until 3 p.m.
Furber worries for other patients who might not have someone to get them food in cases where staffing issues are affecting meal delivery.
