A 90-year-old woman had her broken hip surgery cancelled twice at White Rock's Peace Arch Hospital due to not being able to get a clean operating room.
B.C. woman Beverlie Rolin is recovering after her broken hip surgery, but only after having her surgery cancelled twice at White Rock’s Peace Arch Hospital.
Her daughter, Hillary, spoke with Global News about the ordeal.
“They told her it was a sterilizing process as to why there was no surgery,” she said.
“She was taken down to the surgery. The doctors were all there, everything was all ready except for the operating room.”
Beverlie has a long history with the hospital. She first started out working as a kitchen staff member before becoming a nurse.
She later retired and became a volunteer at the hospital as well.
At 90 years old, her daughter said it was a tough time waiting for the surgery.
“She wasn’t able to move because she broke her hip,” Hillary said.
