Hospital overcrowding leads this man to spend 4 days in the shower room:
A B.C. man suffering from a serious back injury says he spent four days in a damp, dirty shower stall because of overcrowding at Kelowna General Hospital.
On Tuesday, 39-year-old Travis Lowe was rushed by ambulance to hospital with “brutal” back pain. After waiting in the emergency ward for several hours, he was given a bed, but not a room.
“The woman came back to me and she said, ‘You’re not going to like where we’re putting you.’ And I said ‘Why?’ And she said, ‘We’re putting you in the shower,’ ” he said.
