Two Saskatoon sisters say their mother was not given fluids while in the emergency room at Royal University Hospital, that a doctor incorrectly stated she had consented to not be resuscitated, and that the hospital lost her clothes after she was admitted.
A registered nurse who assumed her teenage son would be eager to get the COVID-19 vaccine was shocked to learn he was vaccine hesitant. She is joining public health officials and infectious disease experts who say an "open conversation" with kids about COVID-19 vaccines could fight hesitancy.

Kelsey Doucette has become used to the whooshing sound of a ventilator.
For more than a year, Doucette has been caring for COVID-19 patients as a nurse in the intensive care unit at Saskatoon s Royal University Hospital.
Doucette says the hospital s ICU is full of patients on ventilators, with doctors, nurses and respiratory therapists doing minute-by-minute care.
All patients with COVID-19 are now in isolation wards, and medical personnel must put on full personal protective equipment before stepping inside.
Doucette says the ICU ward has become a stressful place, with anxious health-care providers carefully watching COVID-19 cases, looking for a spike in numbers.
