Welcome Back to Heart Stormings!
On today's episode, we get to hear the story of Carol Youngson, a retired nurse who spent over two decades working in operating rooms and then went on to serve as an investigator for the Manitoba Department of Justice for the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
We sat down a few weeks ago to discuss "Take Your Baby and Run", Carol's first-hand account of the shocking ineptitude and misogynistic behaviour that led to the death of twelve children, primarily infants, under the care of Dr. Jonah Odim at Winnipeg's largest hospital in 1994.
Carol was the nurse in charge of the cardiac unit and in her book she details the dysfunctional hospital hierarchy that allowed this tragedy to unfold, leading to the longest running inquiry in Canadian history.
Sadly, the themes of this book are just as relevant today during our current health crisis.
I am truly honoured and grateful that Carol was willing to share her story on this podcast and l hope she can finally find peace now that she is on this path toward healing from this tragedy.
