CALGARY A Calgary family is searching for answers and seeking an apology from healthcare workers after they say their son was judged for his Indigenous ethnicity while seeking treatment in hospital. “They told him you re just another drunken native who s abusing the system just to get opiates,” said Richard Cushman, who believes his son Nathan was discriminated against in a city hospital for the colour of his skin. There is no audio or video recording of the allegations and CTV has not been able to independently confirm them, but they are disturbing. “That is totally not my son,” Richard said. “He will go through more pain than anybody I know without taking any medication because he does not like doing drugs and it s just stereotyping. It s just judging when you shouldn t be judged.”
