If any of you want to come to Canada feel free to do so.
RIP. Another victim of our healthcare system. A horrible way to die after giving birth to new life. I can't even imagine how her husband is feeling. A new child but at the expense of his wife.
Lawfare or healthcare abuse, it's a one way street in Canada. It took an American nurse to drive to Canada to try and get the Canadian doctors to listen as she correctly knew what was occurring. The arrogance in Ontario is astounding so of course they ignored her. Just another cog in our corrupt system.
Now she is dead.

Everything started off fine after Ravinder Kaur Sidhu gave birth to her third child, but she would never make it back to her home in Brampton, Ont., dying days later at the hospital. Her husband, Gurinder Sidhu, says she died from postpartum sepsis after a multi-organ failure, something he believes could have been prevented if her symptoms were properly addressed at the start.
The couple went to Mississauga’s Credit Valley Hospital on June 18 and in the early morning hours the following day, they welcomed their newborn son.
Sidhu says the delivery went fine, but noted Ravinder had a tear in her vagina that required stitches.
According to a timeline of events compiled by Sidhu, Ravinder broke out in a fever and violent shakes at around 11:15 a.m. For a brief period of time, Sidhu says Ravinder had trouble speaking.
“She’s vomiting, she has so much pain in the pelvic area,” Sidhu recounted. He said the doctors conducted a blood test but not the type that would determine whether bacteria were growing in her blood stream.
“They should have administered broad-based antibiotics while you wait for the blood culture (test) and whatever comes in the blood culture, then you do the... targeting antibiotics, but nothing was done in our case and the whole day was wasted.”
Sidhu says his wife would not receive any antibiotics for about 30 hours after she started displaying symptoms.
On June 20, Sidhu says, Ravinder’s sister—an ICU nurse practicing in Buffalo, N.Y.—drove to Credit Valley to advocate for her sister “after observing gross negligent behaviour” at the hospital. Sidhu said her sister warned that Ravinder appeared to be going through septic shock but that observation was ignored.
Sidhu says Ravinder developed Group A strep bacterial infection at the Mississauga-based hospital. The attending doctors first believed Ravinder’s pain was caused by giving birth but when they suspected she had sepsis, Sidhu said, they changed their theory to suggest the infection stemmed from an acupuncture treatment she received a few days prior—ignoring the second-degree tear she developed from giving birth.
The infection, Sidhu says, severely damaged his wife’s uterus and spread down to her leg.
On June 21 she received a leg debridement surgery—a procedure to remove infected tissue—as she had developed necrotizing fasciitis, a flesh-eating disease that can occur in childbirth or surgery. It is something that should be treated quickly to prevent the infection from spreading and before sepsis develops, according to the Sepsis Alliance, a U.S.-based patient advocacy organization.
