'My care was appropriate': Port Hardy doctor responds to allegations from Island Health
Dr. Ben Williams spoke to CHEK News Thursday saying he welcomes feedback from employees but insisted that Nataros’ suspension followed a complaint from a patient as well as members of the local care team.
But B.C. Green Party leader Sonia Furstenau, who stood beside Nataros at the press conference, argued there is a systemic problem in Island Health leadership that has led not just to Nataros’s complaints, but has the majority of employees“I’m asking Health Minister Adrian Dix to acknowledge and recognize the systemic workplace issues that are in our healthcare system, they are real and the situation cannot tolerate any more downplaying,” she said.
“Owing to this mistreatment and the recent very public misrepresentation by Island Health’s chief medical officer, I no longer feel safe working in Island Health facilities,” he said.
