Emergency room doctor offers graphic testimony
The emergency room surgeon who treated a machete attack victim in 2022 told a B.C. Supreme Court judge in Prince George on Dec. 3 that he classified the patient a “top emergency.”
“This is in the advanced trauma, life support,” Bakkai explained under questioning from Crown prosecutor Andrea Norlund. Bakkai testified that he treated the man for about a week after surgery, until he was transferred for further treatment in the Fraser Health Authority region. Const. Jeremie St.-Pierre testified that he arrived at 5:38 p.m., parked and exited his police vehicle at the same time as the victim exited the lobby. St.-Pierre testified the man was “in shock and in denial of his injuries.”“He immediately asked me to take him to the hospital, but he started to walk away from me onto his left,” St.-Pierre said. “The direction he was walking towards, seemed that he was walking towards the hospital. At that point, I tried to stop him to provide medical care.
The court was shown a photograph that St.-Pierre took of the victim on a stretcher in the hospital. He said the victim told nurses he was unable to open his eyes because he had been sprayed with bear mace.
