When Dick was eventually admitted to Nanaimo Regional General Hospital, she was placed in the intensive care unit, where she is slowly recovering 10 days later. “The way they treated her was totally inhumane,” said Dick’s daughter, Ina Dick. “You would never want to see your mom treated like this.” Island Health has acknowledged that Dick’s care fell below expectations and said it is reviewing her case. Two days after Dick first went to the Ahousaht medical clinic on Nov. 26 with a sore throat and minor fever, her condition worsened to chills, sweats, cramping and soreness all over her body, along with vomiting. Dick was too weak to eat and in too much pain to sleep, Ina said.

She was in so much pain all over her body . and hot and cold cramping,” said her daughter Ina Dick.
