Three times, she said, she was sent home.
But it turned out Trista Mandzuk, 39, did indeed desperately need help.
She would later require emergency surgery and receive a devastating diagnosis.
Mandzuk said she first went to LMH in late November.
“I was very sick. I was throwing up a lot. Very nauseous, had a lot of stomach pain. I was definitely dizzy. My vision was blurry,” Mandzuk said in an interview with CTV News.
“Our friend was with Trista and she was crying to the hospital staff, saying, 'Please help her, something’s not right. You can not release her like this.' And they did anyways,” said Tonya Heppell, Trista’s sister.
