Letter: A Heartbreaking Experience at Owen Sound Hospital
My nephew is a cancer patient with esophageal cancer and had not been able to eat or drink for 36 hours without throwing up. We feared that he was becoming dangerously dehydrated and in a semi-panic state, we took him to the nearest hospital, which was in Owen Sound. He had been treated at the Owen Sound hospital less than two weeks before.
