Canada hospital killed him: Next to Indian-origin man's body, wife narrates ordeal

The wife of a 44-year-old Indian-origin man, who died of suspected cardiac arrest in Canada's Edmonton after complaining of severe chest pain and then waiting for at least eight hours at the hospital to get treatment, has blamed the Canadian hospital for not providing timely help, resulting in the death of her husband.

Prashant Sreekumar, father of three, died on December 22 after being brought to the hospital after he complained of severe chest pain while at work. His client drove him to the Grey Nuns Hospital in southeast Edmonton, where he was first checked in at triage before being asked to sit in the waiting room. Despite telling the hospital staff that he was in severe pain, they told him to keep waiting, saying there was nothing of significance, after conducting an ECG on him and giving him some Tylenol.

Standing beside the body of her husband lying on a bed, she can be seen blaming Grey Nails Hospital for the untimely demise of her husband just at the age of 44 years.

"He was sitting in the triage from 12.20 onwards till about, I would say 8.50 or till about 8.50 in the night. He was sitting in the triage complaining of constant chest pain. His blood pressure (BP) constantly kept on rising with the last reported blood pressure of 210. He was taken inside. He was only prescribed Tylenol during the entire waiting time that he was outside. And he was not given help. They said that chest pain is not considered acute," Late Prashant's wife says in the video.
