Kimberly Gloade, 44, walked out of the emergency room without having been seen in February 2016. Within 10 minutes, she was seen by a triage nurse and was ordered to undergo a series of tests. Dr. Ewa Sidorowicz, the MUHC's head of professional services, said the internal investigation shed light on how patients without medical insurance are processed. The investigation also found that Gloade had been seen at MUHC in the previous years "without any difficulty at all," said Sidorowicz. Kimberly Gloade went to the emergency room at the McGill University Health Centre in February 2016.
