Failure to follow fever protocol or recognize worsening condition contributed to 2011 death of God’s Lake Narrows infant in Thompson

The lack of a physician who saw pediatric patients at the God’s Lake Narrows nursing station and inadequate communication between nurses and the attending doctor at Thompson General Hospital are among the factors that led to the death of Drianna Ross before the age of three months in 2011, says an inquest report released Dec. 17.

Ross died as a result of an aggressive methicillinresistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection less than 18 hours after arriving in Thompson via a medevac flight. She had been sick with high fevers for three days in God’s Lake Narrows and made four trips to the nursing station interspersed with numerous calls from her parents before being sent to Thompson. Once there, Ross was admitted to a mixed ward with orders from a pediatrician to have her vital signs monitored every two hours. The doctor decided the next morning that sepsis was a possibility and decided to transfer her to the emergency department for observation

while waiting to be flown to Winnipeg. Ross was disconnected from oxygen for the transfer to the ER and her heart stopped en route. She was revived but a neurological assessment determined her prognosis was poor and her parents consented to withdraw her care and allow their daughter to die.

The inquest heard that the doctor employed at the God’s Lake Narrows nursing station works in the community from Monday morning to Friday afternoon and that no other physician is available when she is away. Evidence was also given that the doctor did not see pediatric patients because she was so busy treating patients with chronic diseases like tuberculosis and diabetes and that she had to perform all her own clerical work because there is no physician’s assistant. The nursing station also lacks an electronic health record storage and retrieval system and must rely on paper records. In addition, the nurse who was on duty when Ross was brought to the nursing station had limited experience dealing with infants and she

An inquest highlighted deficiencies in her care at both the God’s Lake Narrows nursing station and Thompson General Hospital as contributing factors in her death. failed to follow a protocol that requires nurses to consult a physician when an infant had a fever of greater than 38 Celsius, as Ross did. The inquest also heard that when Ross was medevaced to Thompson, she was held in her father’s arms during the flight without other restraints, which was a normal practice for

transporting infants.

When Ross arrived at Thompson General Hospital Nov. 25, three days after her first visit to the nursing station, she was diagnosed with pneumonia and given antibiotics, though the doctor did not have information from the God’s Lake Narrows nursing station that the infant was

MRSA-positive. Overnight, at about 3 a.m., her intravenous slipped out of her vein and began pumping fluid into her arm, resulting in swelling and pain. The IV was reinserted and the nurse noted that Ross did not respond to the painful procedure. The doctor was consulted but did not Continued on Page 12

My Take on Snow Lake mjaxon@gillamnet.com For the second year in a row, the Snow Lake Book Club has organized the annual Christmas concert. In keeping with their inaugural concert, the 2015 event stayed balanced within a manageable timeframe of one-and-ahalf hours – and featured a variety of nine very entertaining acts.

After ending 2013 without capping the month of December with this longstanding seasonal staple, the concert was resurrected in 2014 by a local book club, which was then made up of Joanne Bradley, Cathy Stabback, Bernadine Fourier, Mary Ann Otto, and Leone Jackson. (Since this time, Bradley has left Snow Lake and Roxane Lamontagne is now a member of the club.)

The 2014 concert came into being after Stabback brought it up for discussion one night during a book club meeting. All the ladies agreed that it warranted further discussion and as a result it became a topic each time they met and became a goal that would see fruition on the night of Friday, December 5, 2014. From the success of that event and through the urging of many in the community, the 2015 concert held the same format, and with two concerts now under their collective belt, the book club has made this event their own.

The evening began with their emcee, the hobbled but game Mary Ann Otto, welcoming an audience that looked to be over 200 people; she wasted little time in introducing the first performance of the 2015 lineup. They were the children of the Northern Tykes Day Care, singing “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” and “We Wish You a Merry Christmas,” the

latter had the little folks accompanying the tune with sign language. There was a collection of the very shy and the somewhat bold on the stage along with co-ordinator Judy Menge and several parent helpers. Keeping this many little folks on task is somewhat reminiscent of wrangling cats, but they sang their tunes wonderfully and made a marked impression. At the close of their numbers, Ms. Otto called forward the Snow Lake Community Library’s (SLCL) librarian, Vivian Bennett and the two of them drew the winner of the SLCL’s 50/50 draw – Jack Forsyth is now $410 richer, as is the community library.

The act that followed was comprised of Tara Semanuik on vocals and Skylar Plante complementing on guitar. They did “Santa Baby” and Semaniuk showed notable range and excellent presence in a very soulful rendering of the classic Ertha Kitt tune.

Plante’s accompaniment cemented a performance that set the stage for a fine evening of entertainment.

Next up was the young gentleman who, along with his father, stole last year’s show. Zach Roberts took to the stage on his own this year and played and sang two tunes: Eddie Raven’s “Thank God for Kids” and Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.” Although it’s always a pleasure to listen to Pete, Zach has proved more than worthy of his own billing. This young man sings with so much feeling… the power and tremolo of his voice literally coax goosebumps. As he closed his performance, he smiled slightly and nodded thanks for the outpouring of applause.

Newcomer Heidi Geloa followed Roberts to the stage and once positioned on the stool in front of the mic, one of the sweetest voices to ever grace the Centennial Stage emanated from the young lady.

She sang two numbers, “Wexford Carol” and “O Holy Night.” High notes were not a problem here and it often times sounded like there was more than one person singing. More thunderous applause…

Closing out the first

Nickel Belt News photo by Marc Jackson Vaughn Deduke entertaining the crowd with the Huron Carol. half of the show, Jospeph H. Kerr Fiddling students Christian Fisher and Kyla Spruyt rosined their bows and showed why they are two of the more accomplished fiddlers in the school’s program. They played three songs, all of them with pride and precision: “Joy to the World,” “Snow Deer,” and “O Come all ye Faithful.”

During the 15-minute intermission, the book club sold coffee, hot apple cider, and baking, with all the proceeds going to the community library. When folks were back in their seats, Ms. Otto drew for three door prizes which were donated by former club member Joanne Bradley and the Snow Lake Pharmacy. The winners were: Keith Scott, Rebecca Zosa, and Kim Stephen. While the stage was being set up for the final acts, from behind the closed curtain, Cathy Stabback recited a Christmas poem written from a grandmother’s perspective. It was met with “sound” approval!

Moving on with the program and doing a reprise of his performance from last year’s Christmas concert, Vaughn Deduke performed “The Huron Carol” with accompaniment on guitar

by Dennis Yates. Deduke’s pleasant baritone lends itself well to this selection.

He did Tom Jackson proud with his rendition!

Following Deduke, another performer who needs little introduction took his spot in front of the mic.

Terry Hornyak sang Chuck Berry’s “Run Rudolph

Run” and showed how his years of performing in bands and concerts, lends to a sense of ease on the stage. Hornyak picked, strummed and sang the song perfectly … and short of a “duck walk” across the stage, he paid fine homage to the tune’s author.

Next up was another person new to the community, Jennifer Pakula.

Like Heidi Geloa, Ms. Pakula also has an amazing voice. She sang a song on her own prior to Tony Butt, Heidi Geloa, and Bev Krul joining her. As added entertainment, Geloa played the flute, Pakula the trumpet, Krul the piano, while Butt strummed in with his guitar. When these three ladies harmonized, it seemed like a choir had taken the stage.

There it was, the final act had played, we showed our grateful appreciation with applause and before we knew it the concert had ended … folks left the hall wanting for more and eagerly awaiting next year’s lineup.

The proceeds from the door and confections totalled $933 and it was donated, in its entirety, to the Snow Lake Community Library. On a closing note, it was very gratifying to see the many parents on hand rein in their children during the performances and just as rewarding to see the enjoyment on their faces at being able to run and have fun during the intermission and prior to the event getting underway … after all, the hall is most of all for kids!

Thompson residents tied red ribbons on the guardrail of the Miles Hart Bridge Dec. 21 to remember loved ones who have been murdered or gone missing, with RCMP on hand to ensure everyone’s safety. Bobbi Montean read the following poem – “Red Ribbons” by Reginald Mercredi – during the event: “The spirit is in the air/ The red ribbons are calling you home/ So graceful blowing in the wind/ Nobody should ever go missing/ A reminder to tie a red ribbon for an angel/ The hope to follow the red ribbons home/ Home is where your loving family are waiting/ Red ribbons of honour/ She once tied her pigtails with red ribbons now she went missing/Red ribbons tied to the bridge blowing in the wind/ Can you hear the whispers please come home/ My memories are so beautiful/ Red ribbons a path home” Thompson Citizen photo courtesy of Bobbi Montean

Man pleads guilty to killing 14-year-old

BY IAN GRAHAM EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

A Northern Manitoba man pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in a Winnipeg courtroom for the killing of a cognitively challenged 14-year-old in 2011.

The man, who can not be identified because he was under 18 years old at the time of the crime, killed the girl in the woods near the community they lived in after having sex with her

in June 2011, the Winnipeg Sun reported Dec. 17.

He was embarrassed because of something that occurred while they were having sex, the court heard from an agreed statement of facts, and when he saw a rock afterwards he picked it up and struck her several times in the head.

The rock was hidden in an abandoned car and the victim’s body covered in sticks and leaves, said

the Sun. The man, now 21, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder almost three years after the killing and confessed to police last April.

As an adult convicted of second-degree murder committed as a youth, the man faces a minimum sentence of life in prison with no chance of parole for seven years. He has a sentencing hearing scheduled for early 2016.

Letters to the Editor

From success to significance From the Teacher’s Desk lquilty5@gmail.com Leonard Quilty In a gentle way way, you can shake the world.

- Mahatma Gandhi Just before the Christmas break, the students in my Language Arts 7 class had to write a poem on the topic of change or transition. As part of the assignment instructions, a previous teacher of the course had included (as an exemplar) a poem I wrote about 10years ago. At the time, a neighbour of my parents in Dunville, Newfoundland had moved from her home in a section of the town called Broad Cove to a seniors’ complex in the city of St. John’s. Here is my poem: Leaving Home Her hastened departure belies the memories of sixty-two years in the cove.

Her hardened face conveys anguish over the untimely removal from her cherished abode – in the cove.

Her triad of offspring usher her hurriedly into the car lest she linger with a transfixed gaze on still images – in the cove.

Her heavy thoughts, like the swell of the evening tide, wash over her prolonged goodbye to life in the cove.

Throughout history, any meaningful progress in society resulted from someone taking the initiative to change the circumstances he or she faced. All of these inventors or innovators were willing to forego the status quo in order to illuminate the parameters of a brave new world.

As 2015 winds down many of us will set goals for the New Year. Of course, to actualize these goals it will quite likely involve initiating change in some aspect of our current behaviour. Possible examples could include adopting a new diet regimen, starting a program of daily or weekly exercise, or instituting more discipline around a schedule of reading or writing (talking to myself here!).

Yes, for any goal we set, self-discipline is a vital part of the equation. Jim Rohn, whose wisdom I really admire, had some great advice on the topic of self-discipline: “We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons.”

As we look beyond the horizon of 2015, maybe not all of us will aspire to create a “dent in the universe” (à la Steve Jobs of Apple fame). But we can each, in our own individual quest to accomplish our goals, increase the quality of our life and maybe by extension the lives of those around us.

By continuing to strive for a new pinnacle of success (in whatever our chosen endeavor), we can inch closer to the realm of a significant life. Just imagine the ripple effect that would have in our world.

Letters to the Editor

A weight loss success story To the Editor: As I sit here writing this I am just hoping my baby doesn’t wake up for the millionth time. I’m also drinking black chamomile tea (trying to get ready for the night ahead ... whatever it may be as being a parent is super unpredictable).

First off, I’d like to thank LABAN Fitness for helping me drop over 10 pounds and lose over a foot of myself. I’ve always dieted, but I’ve also always been addicted to cheese.

There, I said it, ‘addicted.’

When I used to wake up in the morning I would just pray that my boyfriend would be bringing me a double double from Tim’s or McDonald’s, that is how I thought I would get through my mornings of having a toddler who is up at the crack of dawn and

a baby who has never slept through the night. Once I got lucky, six hours he slept and that was it. It never happened again. Ever. And he is almost 10 months old.

Since life is so unpredictable what inevitably ends up happening is that I have five minutes to stuff my face with unhealthy choices such as muffins, grilled cheese, ketchup, chocolate milk etc.

I worked out every day for months (it did help with stress relief) but I just wasn’t getting anywhere with feeling slimmer. That is when I saw an ad of LABAN Fitness’s Facebook page where they were offering a free two-week personal training session. The catch: You had to make a video explaining your fitness goals. Mine was simple: feel comfortable in my size 10 jeans. I’m so happy

to announce I now fit size 8 thanks to Mitch and Chris’s meal plan, cardio plan, gym pass and unlimited motivation.

It’s crazy to think I once put everything I saw in my mouth to now craving greens and lean meat.

When on the meal plan you are never hungry, however all that comfort food is gone. I could feel my belly just melting from all the protein, greens, and water!

Some nights I would have to kick off the blankets because I would feel super hot from my metabolism being skyrocketed. Planning meals was key and I’m glad, I became a better cook and I didn’t crave sugar as much as I once did. I feel like I still have a long way to go, but I realized what made me gain the weight in the first place ... the sugar. I feel like a whole new person with a

changed perspective on life.

My trainers were always a text, or email away. The workouts were hard, but the meal plan was what helped tremendously with the weight loss and my energy level. Okay he’s up!

I’ve got to go, but thank you all for reading and I hope you find the happiness you are looking for in the new year!

To those looking for a change this year, take a leap of faith, like I did. Change happens when you decide to change! Your body can go further than your mind can. For the sake of your health and wellness, seriously consider the health of your body and make a change not just for yourself, but also for the ones that love and need you to be strong for them.

Rebecca Dantouzze Thompson

In my own words: drifting friendships To the Editor: “Drifting Friendships.” How often we upset our friendship by words and action. We may, partly because of madness, distance or resentments. For whatever reason, they will be there for

you. Friendship means understanding, not disagreeing. Forgiveness is not forgetting in which memories last, even if contact is lost. “Drifting friendships” is essential that you remember the value of them when everyone else around seems to forget. Friendships

come from kindness, respect, trust, honesty and it’s penniless. Never forget that “drifting friendships” are the most important ingredients in our lives today.

Enjoy moments together even at times of grief Out & About Donna Wilson Another holiday has come and gone with more memories to treasure. Though not all memories of this holiday are good ones for many of us. I was so happy that we raised $800 to send to Scott Flight from our Old Fashioned Christmas concert. Our beautiful card, warm wishes and funds were sent to him and his mom read him the card though he was unresponsive. His mom Carol also let me talk to him over speakerphone and I believe he heard me. Sadly Scott did not see another Christmas.

More sadness for my long time friend Rod Hicks who lost his mom Christmas morning. Many people grieving over the holidays while others are celebrating. Although my thoughts were with my friends I was reminded by my family to celebrate the moments we have together.

Christmas Eve I took my grandsons to a candlelight service at church where they loved the music and excitement in the air. Shortly after arriving at my house we received a visit from Santa which filled the kids with joy.

I remembered the days of my young children running to the living room to see what Santa left under the tree.

This year my parents and I enjoyed a wonderful breakfast cooked by my husband and we sort of just sat around until my youngest daughter showed up and then we opened our presents under the tree. Then my son showed up and the day seemed brighter again. As my oldest daughter and family arrived it was beginning to feel like Christmas. As the day went on the paper was flying, memories shared of days gone by, and too many chocolates devoured. I laughed with my family and smiled at thoughts of years gone by.

Many times throughout the day I quietly wiped away the tears that I couldn’t control. They would roll down my cheeks without realizing I was crying until I would feel the wet on my face and that was my reminder to change my thoughts to happy ones and share in the joys of loved ones present.

It’s been a busy few days and on Sunday morning I awoke with my first thought being “Oh my, what a cold day to hang scarves.” I gave my head a shake and turned my thoughts to “those needing scarves today really need them.” We had well over 150 scarves and also some hats and mitts that were hung on the trees in the Canadian Tire parking lot. As we were hanging them some people that were cold came along asking if we had neck warmers which we were so happy to give them. I invited everyone back to the Quality Inn where we had hot chocolate and cookies.

Thank you to all that donated your time, talents or yarn to help keep people warm. I would like to say a special thank you to Stacy Ellingson, Marie Lambe and her daughter Nadine Vokey that make scarves all year long for this special project. When this idea was presented to me I posted on Facebook to see if anyone would like to help me. These are the ladies that jumped on board and have also bonded with a friendship through this initiative. It does a heart good to see such friendships bloom while helping others.

My wish for you in 2016 is good health, happiness and success.

Manitoba Liberals pledge $25 million northern food subsidy if elected

BY KACPER ANTOSZEWSKI KACPER@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Manitoba Liberal leader Rana Bokhari visited St. Theresa Point Dec. 22 to announce her party’s pledge of $25 million towards Northern Manitoban food subsidies and nutritional counselling programs. Among those accompanying Rana were provincial candidates Judy Klassen for Kewatinook, Noel Bernier for Point Douglas, and federal Liberal candidate Rebecca Chartrand, who ran against MP Niki Ashton in the Churchill-Kewatinook Aski riding in the 2015 federal election.

Bokhari and her entourage dropped into the Thompson Citizen office during a brief stop in town to discuss the promise.

“Things like milk, fresh fruits, vegetables, those things are costing families way too much money, and it’s really affecting their

health, especially children. We’re pledging to spend $25 million in our first year in government on this program to ensure Northern Manitobans are getting the food they need to live a healthy lifestyle.”

The subsidy aims to encompass all Northern Manitoban communities, with higher priority placed on more impoverished communities, with regional counsellors distributed between multiple communities. While the Manitoba Liberals have pledged their commitment to the program, communications director Mike Brown says that the details have yet to be worked out, vis-à-vis the extent of the program, and who will directly receive the subsidies. “We want to work with retailers to see what the best way to do that is, whether it’s a subsidy to the individual to take to the grocery store,

or something else.”

The federal government’s Nutrition North program provides subsidies to northern retailers for the shipment of fresh, perishable foods.

Yet as food costs continue to rise, many northerners believe that the full benefit of subsidies are not being passed down to consumers. (As of April 2016, retailers receiving Nutrition North subsidies will be required to include subsidy information on customer receipts.) “I don’t think we want to make that assumption,” said Bokhari.

“We want to measure the results of our programming, and if we’re not getting the results we want, we’ll be making changes.

If we find the prices are just going up in line with the subsidies offered, we’ll put a stop to that.”

Manitoba’s NDP government implemented a pilot project for its own

provincial subsidies back in October, known as AFFIRM: Affordable Food in Northern Manitoba. Prior to this, the federal NDP had focused on lobbying the federal government to invest an additional $7.5 million into the Nutrition North program, in order to include 46 northern communities across Canada which have been denied the full benefi t of subsidies. Nutrition North was also sharply criticized by a fall report from the auditor general’s office for having an “unfair” criteria for eligibility.

The provincial NDP’s pilot project, which has been extended to 10 northern communities, includes five communities which do not receive full, or any, federal subsidies. Bokhari, however, says it’s too little, too late: “You’ve been there for 16 years, your members have represented these communities, and

Nickel Belt News photo courtesy of Manitoba Liberal Party Manitoba Liberal leader Rana Bokhari they’ve taken the people of the north for granted all of this time. We’re not going to wait to see if the feds get on board.

This isn’t a pilot, this isn’t ‘wait and see.’ this is what northern communities can expect from a Manitoba Liberal government.”

Thompson Brownies tour Thompson Citizen office in November

Thompson Citizen photo by Kacper Antoszewski The Thompson Brownies troop came in for a tour of the Thompson Citizen office on Nov. 25; future reporters, editors, and graphic designers were given a run-down of the process by which events around town become stories in the paper, and insight into how paper production has change since its beginnings in 1961. Here, they stand in front of the no-longerused Rockwell printing press, still holding reams of print on its spools. The printer has been out of use since 2007.

News

More aggressive action that should have been taken after infection set in could have changed outcome Continued from Page 1 return to examine Ross until 7 a.m. Less than six hours after that she was pronounced dead. The pathologist described the cause of death as respiratory failure caused by a “sever diffuse necrotizing lower respiratory track infection [to the] larynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs,” which was a result of MRSA sepsis.

Dr. Stasa Veroukis, a pediatric intensivist at Children’s Hospital in Winnipeg, who specializes in the care of critically ill patients, said the care Ross received at the nursing station was reasonable and that the initial assessment and plan of care by the pediatrician in Thompson was appropriate, though she said she would have initially prescribed antibiotics that were effective against MRSA. Once the doctor had left, however, the nurses caring for Ross failed to recognize a serious deterioration in her condition. Without knowing what the nurses said to the pediatrician when they spoke at 3 a.m. after reinserting the IV, Veroukis said the was a failure to communicate the seriousness of the problem and four hours passed before the doctor returned. She also testified that once infection takes hold in infants they deteriorate quickly and more aggressive action that could have changed the outcome should have been, but wasn’t, taken.

Veroukis also told the inquest that the ward where Ross was placed had a wide range of patients and should have been staffed by highly skilled nurses but the ones who were working had little experience in pediatric care and other witnesses said the ward was considered an entry-level ward.

Inquest Judge Don Slough recommended that infants not be left in the care of the most inexperienced nurses at Thompson General Hospital and that there should be equipment available for constant monitoring so medical staff respond to worsening condition as quickly as possible.

He also said a video connection to Children’s Hospital in Winnipeg should

be established to allow for timely and effective consultation on pediatric patients other than newborns, for whom such a connection already exists.

He also said doctors need to carefully consider what antibiotics to administer upon admission of

patients given the high prevalence of MRSA in Northern Manitoba. Another recommendation was that guidelines be established to ensure that pediatricians working at Thompson General Hospital get enough rest to provide optimal care to

their patients.

Other recommendations included providing nursing station doctors with assistants to perform clerical work, equipping those stations with computers to store records and test lab results, ensure cleaning meets acceptable stan-

dards, flag MRSA positive results on the front of patients’ files and to properly secure infants on medevac flights. Internet connectivity of nursing stations was also recommended to enable them to take advantage of Telehealth for patient care.
