Ottawa woman calling for health-care reform in N.B. after husband died on vacation
An Ontario woman whose husband died in a New Brunswick hospital while on vacation is urging Canadians to advocate for any loved ones in an emergency room — and she's calling on candidates in New Brunswick's provincial election to address what she calls a crisis in health care.
An autopsy report, provided to CBC News by his widow, shows he died of "necrotic/ischemic enterocolitis," gangrene in his intestines due to lack of blood and oxygen flow.
Before the election campaign began, Makhoul wrote to Progressive Conservative Health Minister Bruce Fitch. He replied saying he recognizes that improvement is necessary.

This is what happens when PC Party (aka CONServatives) are in charge of healthcare.
