The family of a Sikh man from Brampton is seeking an apology, an explanation, and a promise to do better from the local hospital network after they say the facial hair of their loved one was removed without their consent.
Joginder Singh Kaler, a practicing Sikh, was shaved without consent at Brampton Civic Hospital, says his family.
Many members of the Sikh faith keep their hair unshorn and do not shave. This practice, called kesh, is one of five visible articles of faith observed by initiated Sikhs. It has a deep spiritual significance and is seen as a sign of commitment and acceptance of God’s will. Dhaliwal said he decided to speak out about the incident as the hospital has yet to reach out to them to discuss the incident. He told CP24.com that he felt that it was important to share their story to possibly prevent others from going through the same thing.
“Osler is continually improving processes and clinical practices to ensure all patients receive compassionate, high-quality care,” the hospital network said. The WSOC is assisting Kaler’s family as they go public with their situation and has also written to Osler’s CEO Dr. Frank Martino “expressing shock and outrage” about what occurred.
