A Manitoba woman has been waiting for a week with a broken leg, waiting for surgery that remains out of reach, with no end in sight.
A Manitoba woman has been waiting for a week with a broken leg, waiting for surgery that remains out of reach, with no end in sight.
Audrey Froese is currently waiting for surgery in a converted storage room in Health Sciences Centre (HSC).
"They were painting the other rooms they said," said Froese. "But I don't know how long painting can take?"
So far, it's taken at least as long as she's been waiting for her surgery – an entire week.
Froese broke her leg at work in Morden last Monday, and was quickly rushed by ambulance to Boundary Trails Health Centre.
But she didn't stay there long.
"I did see a surgeon there, and she said my shin bone is broken just below the knee. And she said it's a bad enough break that she doesn't feel comfortable fixing it," recalled Froese. "So she's going to send me to someone who has more of a specialty fixing it."
