The wife of an Edmonton man who died in a hospital ER room after waiting more than eight hours says she will do whatever it takes to find justice for her husband.
Niharika Sreekumar is living a nightmare.
“My tears have dried… My tears have dried up, I cry when I am alone.”
Niharika is demanding justice following the death of her husband in the emergency room of an Edmonton hospital after a wait of more than eight hours to see a doctor.
Through her grief, she vows to pursue the truth and determine how this happened.
Niharika said there’s a Hindi phrase she will use to guide her efforts, “Saam Daam Dand Bhed,” meaning “what it will take.”
“Whatever it will take to get justice for Prashant, I am going to fight,” she said.
On Dec. 22, Niharika’s husband, Prashant Sreekumar, started experiencing severe chest pains while he was at work. A client drove him to the Grey Nuns Hospital in southeast Edmonton.
The 44-year-old was checked in and then took a seat in the waiting room. Staff did an electrocardiogram (ECG) to check his heart’s function, but the family said Prashant was told there was nothing of significance and to keep waiting.
