Flin Flon General Hospital Compaint

Three women pepper sprayed at Denare Beach last week have complained about the treatment they received at Flin Flon General Hospital.

 

The women stated that when they arrived at the hospital they were denied entry.  When an RCMP officer arrived he entered the hospital and then came out to help the women wash out their eyes.  The women then had to change out of their clothes into gowns on the ramp with one later allowed to enter the hospital for treatment while the other two went home.
             

 

The Northern Health Regions Communications Coordinator Twyla Storey says their protocol when someone is sprayed with a substance like pepper spray is to prevent the substance from spreading through the hospital so they are treated outside the hospital. She says the affected area is flushed with water for 15 minutes, affected clothing is removed and the affected area is washed with soap and water. She adds when a complaint is received it is dealt with through an internal process adding they have already met with the families involved.
