MONTREAL - A Mohawk man and his wife said Thursday they are filing a human rights complaint against a Quebec hospital after the man was allegedly discharged from the facility wearing barely any clothes.
Winston Nelson, 71, was hospitalized at the St-Eustache hospital, north of Montreal, on Dec. 30 for heart problems. Nelson s wife, Cheryl Scott, says she sent a taxi to pick him up on Jan. 5, only to find him wearing a hospital gown and a soiled diaper when he arrived home.
St-Eustache Hospital s white woman only job postings denounced by politicians But Benoit Charette, Quebec s new minister responsible for fighting racism, insisted it s too soon to say the postings were an actual racist act.
