‘Patient deaths are incredibly hard on all of us,’ nurse says
Dupuis says she learned of Winterstein’s death in a meeting at the hospital.
“People were reflecting on how the system was working at the time.
“I remember being incredibly confused,” she says of the meeting. “I didn’t know why I was there.”
Varrette asks her if she was aware that Winterstein was Indigenous.
“No, I wasn’t aware,” says Dupuis, adding she was made aware of Winterstein’s background in that meeting.
The triage nurse is asked if she would have done anything differently if she had the chance.
“I don’t think it’s fair for me to say I would do something differently,” Dupuis answers.
She also offers her condolences to Winterstein’s family.
“Patient deaths are incredibly hard on all of us. I’m hoping we can have some good that comes from this.”
