My first encounter with “Vic “Hospital was in the labour room when a seventeen year student was having a baby. The nurse kept saying “ Just think you’re having a really big” p–p. She repeated that over and over again. I had seven children, five at St. Paul’s Hospital and I don’t recall any one using such language, yet we manage to follow instructions. When the baby was born I slipped out to the washroom. In that time the doctor gave this student depo provera: a dangerous drug that was not approved by Canada Health until 15 years later yet had been used on native women for at least forty years .
I wrote to the then Minister of Health objecting to giving a minor such a drug without permission from her, or myself who was acting on behalf of her absentee parent. I do not recall any reply. However I later learned that doctor had received an award for her health care of natives.
I had a flare up of an infected foot. The La Ronge doctor consciously sent me to a specialist to Vic. The doctor , acted very concerned , made sure I heard all his PR phone calls, yet refused to give me a prescription for anti-biotics even though there was a distinct red line coming from the toe up to my ankle. Thirty days later by the time I finally got a prescription filled against the specific instructions of this “ diabetic specialist’‘ I lost half a toe. Somehow we suspected that this doctor got even over that letter to the Minister to the Health. He definitely looked like he could be related to the Deprovera pusher. Perhaps name tags on the doctor would help us identify who is doing or did what.
From a relative of Mrs. Pat Dorosh we learned of her fight to stop the stream of native girls having abortions without any parental consent. Pat , a scrub nurse on operations insisted that they should be shown ultra sounds and other information so they could have some choice. Pat passed away a few years ago . We have no information as to anyone carrying on the fight to stop these victims herded into abortion without parental knowledge or consent.
Vic Hospital is a dangerous place . It is named after Queen Victoria who had ten children and her reigned was marked by a long lasting concern for the native people in the British Empire including the natives of the Dominion of Canada.
Queen Victoria Hospital has been expanded since the NDP tore down Holy Family Hospital because they wouldn’t do abortions. Holy Family was always the preferred hospital in Prince Albert unless one went to St. Paul’s in Saskatoon. St.Paul’s delivered two- thirds of the babies in Saskatchewan. Their maternity ward was closed by the NDP due to their refusal to kill babies. There is no alternative to Vic Hospital whose horror stories of lack of medical ethics are not confined to the maternity wards.
