The 44-year-old says he was visiting his mom when he experienced “sharp abdominal pain and nauseau” that he reported to the emergency room staff at St. Anthony’s General Hospital in The Pas where he was triaged as a low priority. The doctor who eventually examined him said, “‘I don’t know what to tell you, we don’t treat you here for hangovers,’ or words to that effect,” the statement of claim alleges. The claim says Flett was not hung over or showed any symptoms of intoxication. And, it says, the pain he experienced was “far more severe and different than anything that might be expected from a hangover.” It alleges the doctor “did not conduct the physical examination that was required in the circumstances” or order any tests. None of the claims have been tested in court. Neither the Northern Regional Health Authority nor the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority (WRHA) would comment due to the matter being before the courts. Neither organization has filed a statement of defence, said Flett’s lawyer Vilko Zbogar in an email to APTN News. The claim says, with no medical clinic open in The Pas on a Sunday, Flett took a bus to Winnipeg. “Throughout the eleven-and-a-half hour journey, Flett was lying in pain on the floor at the back of the bus, clutching his abdomen, because it hurt too much to sit down or to stand,” the claim continues. After arriving in Winnipeg, the claim says Flett called 911 for an ambulance but was given a phone number for a taxi that he took to Seven Oaks General Hospital in the early hours of Jan. 16. There, the claim says he was triaged appropriately and spent several hours lying on the floor because it was too painful to sit down. He was only taken to an examination room, the claim says, after he waved down a passing doctor at about 4 a.m., adding no one took his vitals or checked on him. Tests confirmed Flett “was suffering from acute appendicitis and would require surgery urgently.” Yet, he had to wait another eight hours to be transferred to Grace Hospital for the operation, the claim says. “Because of all the delays, Mr. Flett’s appendix ruptured before he was transferred for surgery, leading to an infection” that his lawyer said in an email left his client with “chronic gastrointestinal disease which interferes with his activities of daily living and his ability to work and provide for his family. This could be a life-long condition.” “This kind of treatment is unacceptable in Canada,” the claim concluded, alleging the doctor, triage and transportation staff in The Pas and Seven Oaks breached their duty of care. The claim also accuses the defendants of breaching Flett’s Charter rights by depriving him of care despite “the obvious signs of medical distress.” It also alleges they breached Flett’s right to equality by “making assumptions … at least, in part, on anti-Aboriginal stereotypes and biases rather than solely on ethical medical observations. “The defendants were aware of the existence of systemic bias in the healthcare system, that Aboriginal patients suffer disproportionately poor health outcomes, and that there have been other instances of Aboriginal patients being ignored leading to tragic outcomes.” As for the WRHA, the suit alleges Seven Oaks violated the protocols for monitoring patients established following the death of  Brian Sinclair at another Winnipeg hospital in 2008. Sinclair, who was Anishinaabe, died after waiting 34 hours to have his catheter changed. A 2014 report into his death made 63 recommendations, including how patients in emergency rooms are triaged and registered. Flett, who the suit says can no longer work to support his family, is seeking at least $500,000 in punitive and exemplary damages.

generations of Manitobans about who we are as a people our government will establish a new honour for veterans and other Manitoba heroes and we will introduce a new program in our schools to send Manitoba high school students to the historic battlefields of the World Wars we face the same challenges as many of our neighbours But instead of letting those challenges divide us Every day we measure our government’s success by how much Manitobans are free to pursue a good life The opportunity of a good job to support your family Health care that’s there when your family needs it It’s these everyday ambitions that help us find meaning in ourselves and the world around us This is what the Canadian philosopher Charles Taylor calls “the affirmation of ordinary life.”

Or sign-in if you have an account Article contentIt is 100 per cent true that many of the “dot-coms” back then had no earnings and no real business model. But even the bellwethers that did have earnings and real business models got caught up in the World Wide Web mania. Their share prices shot to the moon and then came crashing down to earth, but only after the first major disappointment (God forbid, Cisco Systems Inc. missed its EPS number by a penny, which got the ball rolling) did reality begin to set in. These megacap tech companies are still around today, but most went through a huge three-year bear market when their stock prices dove 60 per cent or more. You would have been a laughingstock to have predicted this future in the opening months of 2000. And, of course, the internet was transformational in our professional and personal lives, just as generative AI will very likely prove to be. That is not the point. The next issue of Investor will soon be in your inbox We could have said the same thing about shipbuilders railways and the Nifty Fifty concept stocks as well but the financial economy is not the same thing as the real economy The real economy does not go through irrational exuberance — investors do The one thing we do know with certainty is that money is an extremely emotional thing That is what we are talking about: the extreme emotion of greed and how to make a quick buck in the equity market Even though the valuations are less extreme today we are still experiencing a phase of top-decile P/E multiples of all time We are up to 42 per cent of the S&P 500 market cap being dominated by tech and telecom back to the degree of concentration prevailing in 1999 and 2000 The market is juiced up on the excitement of the 25 per cent surge in the S&P 500 since November only one-third of which can be explained by earnings or earnings estimates by the consensus analyst community — if this was just about earnings alone The 600-plus-point gap between that earnings-driven reality and where we are today is simply due to the anticipation of what the total addressable market for AI will look like in the future fully 60 per cent has come from just 10 companies and more than 20 per cent from Nvidia alone This lopsidedness and degree of frothiness resemble the late 1990s more than any other cycle in modern history followed by concerns over the uncertainty surrounding Y2K The 10-year T-note yield is roughly 180 basis points above the average of both the past five and 10 years; 130 basis points above the average of the past 20 years; and 40 basis points above the average of the past 30 years But the most apt comparison is with the average of the past five years emphasizing that it is the change in interest rates and not the level that matters for growth and keeping in mind that it takes time for the economy to reset to shifting economic backdrops in both directions 1979-1980 and 1982 have we ever seen such a huge gap between the spot 10-year yield and the average over the prior five years I cannot believe the narrative that in the most credit-driven economy of all time There is nothing more fundamental to anything in the economy or financial asset valuations than interest rates Perhaps that is why Albert Einstein once said compound interest was the “eighth wonder of the world.” Perhaps he knew a thing or two about basic math and that the laws of physics apply to capital markets and how future economic growth rates get discounted I see no such level of sophistication today “Why haven’t you been more bullish on the S&P 500?” I will tell you with 100 per cent conviction that generative AI and the graphics processing unit (GPU) wave have not changed the relationship between discount rates and the present value of future cash flows; the impact interest rates have on the cost of capital and C-suite decisions on long-term business spending decisions; or the effect interest rates exert on the ability of households to finance expenditures on housing autos and all other major debt-reliant durable goods commitments with a general belief that the business cycle has been repealed I can tell you one thing that is exactly the same as was the case at the bubble peak in the first quarter of 2000: the household financial asset mix concentrated in equities (including pensions) is 76 per cent This share tops 60 per cent for the 80-million-strong retiree or near-retiree baby boomer class nobody has taken profits and nobody has rebalanced the portfolio The cost of protecting against any downside in the stock market is some 40 per cent cheaper than the long-run norm believe they need it in the mistaken belief that bear markets and recessions have become relics of the past Discipline and diversification have gone the way of the dodo transmission or republication strictly prohibited This website uses cookies to personalize your content (including ads), and allows us to analyze our traffic.
