Hey there, time traveller!

The Winnipeg Regional Health Authority board of directors on Tuesday stated unequivocally its support of two top WRHA officials, in the wake of the health authority’s bungling of the explanation of Brian Sinclair’s death.
Those WRHA officials, president and CEO Dr. Brian Postl and chief medical officer and senior vice-president of clinical services Dr. Brock Wright, have been under fire for nearly a week.
Sinclair, a double leg amputee, died in September after waiting 34 hours in the Health Sciences Centre emergency room for health care.
A WRHA press release acknowledged Wright misspoke at a press conference last week when he said Sinclair did not present himself at an ER triage desk.
“We want to again say that the WRHA accepts full responsibility for this tragedy. In no way was Mr. Sinclair to blame for his death. This was our fault and we are sorry,” said a press release.
“We also want the public to know that we take very seriously our responsibility to provide safe and quality care to our patients. In Mr. Sinclair’s case, we failed.”
The public originally found out about Mr. Sinclair’s death in September after a television media report.
