He said it's also alleged that when Hubley arrived back at the hospital on March 5 with abdominal pain -- the day after being discharged following the birth -- an examination was not performed. Hubley was diagnosed with constipation and sent home.

The next day, she was rushed to the hospital after experiencing more pain and discolouration on her body.

She was later diagnosed with flesh-eating disease, and has since undergone multiple surgeries, including amputations below both of her elbows and knees and a total hysterectomy.

In Canada, she wont get more than a few thousand dollars. There are no multimillion dollar lawsuits allowed.

What a nightmare. She’s definitely lucky to be alive.

May what you seemingly enjoy seeing happen to this woman visit you as well. You know, so someone somewhere on the Internet can get in an unfunny “joke.”

Disgusting. Grotesque. Evil.

Such medical negligence is not restricted to hospitals that operate under socialized medicine. Such horrible outcomes are still rare but with the rise of antibiotic resistant bacteria the risk is greater than in the past.

Yep. There is no room for humor in a story like this. Sick.

Posting a silly pic doesn’t make your comments any less disgusting. You didn’t defend what you said. Do you defend your comments?

I personally wouldn’t wish such a serious disease on someone for making a joke...whether I thought it was funny or not.

At least many of the hospitals and medical personnel are dirty now. Much has changed.

PS...Not that me saying it will make it happen just as his joke is irrelevant to the woman’s plight. But I just don’t think it’s good to be putting that kind of thing out there in the air. Anyway, that’s just me. I know we are not all the same.

His joke is not irrelevant, it is inhuman. If he finds suffering funny, maybe he should be the butt of his own jokes for idiots online and see how funny it is. That was my point. I don’t find humor in other people’s pain; he does, apparently.
