What is going on in Montreal??

Another father has delivered his baby at the Royal Vic because the staff weren't available. At least the last one delivered a live baby.

The latest couple was sent home from emerg the night before after being told that their fetus had died. What a long night they must have had after hearing this bad news, worrying about what would come next. They ended up back in emerg again the next day. Apparently, the department was busy and when the baby was delivered, no staff was around.

Losing a pregnancy, especially one this far along can be the worst day someone has. It bothers me that the people who work at the hospital, presumably the ones who went into health care because they wanted to help people, didn't seem to care that this couple was having a terrible day.
