A 72-year-old woman from Bunibonibee Cree Nation in Manitoba is speaking out about racism in the health-care system following a trip to a Winnipeg hospital.

Elder Sadie North alleges a clerk was rude to her and failed to help her get around and a doctor made assumptions about alcohol use.

“We have been actively engaged with Elder North and her family over the last number of weeks to listen and to understand their concerns,” O’Rourke told CTV News in a written statement, adding the hospital has apologized directly to North and her family. “She had cellulitis on her leg. That was ultimately what was wrong,” she said Sheila. “By the time I took her there, she couldn’t even walk or even push her feet on the walker she was sitting on.”“We trusted that she was okay in there,” she explained. “We trusted that they were taking good care of her.”

North said she was directed by the clerk to get herself to the waiting area. She said she couldn’t push herself, but eventually, a different worker eventually helped her get there.

I was hoping it ends with 'court rules', not just 'daughter says'.

But true. Don't forget to add that little fact.
