Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians - CAEP

An 84-year-old patient with dementia was allegedly restrained and injured at Michael Garron Hospital, prompting Ontario’s Patient Ombudsman to call for changes to “hawkish and militaristic” security policies.

Dr. Drummond says hospitals must take such threats seriously and put into place policies and a culture of safety to prevent the likelihood of these events occurring. But he also said he thinks those measures should not go so far as to prevent the hospital from being a supportive place for those who need it.
