A British Columbia mother says she won't give up her fight for accountability, despite a lack of discipline against a doctor who made an error during his care for her critically-ill daughter, who later died.
"If a doctor is sending a patient home and found responsible by the (regulator) and she ultimately dies because of it, why is that not enough to lose his licence?" Ann Forry told Global News.
"It's an absolute slap in the face."
Ann Forry's 29-year-old daughter Natasha died of toxic shock in November, 2020. Despite progressively worsening symptoms, she was sent home from the emergency room at Lions Gate Hospital in North Vancouver three times, with instructions to come back if things got worse.
After her death, Forry's mother Ann filed a complaint with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of B.C.
