Emergency room review following teen s suicide in the hands of N B health minister

  FREDERICTON New Brunswick’s department of health confirms that a report into emergency room services has been given to Health Minister Dorothy Shephard. The review was ordered after the death of 16-year-old Lexi Daken. Daken waited in the Everett Chalmers Hospital emergency room in Fredericton for over eight hours with her guidance counsellor to see a psychiatrist – and never saw one. She died by suicide six days later, on Feb. 24. Her family believes had she gotten the help she needed at the hospital E.R., she would still be alive. Two days after her death, the vice-president at Horizon Health Network called the situation “nothing short of a tragedy.”
