The average wait time for level three patients at the Gatineau Hospital that day, however, was four hours and 25 minutes, according to the report by coroner Pierre Bourassa. Nurses also misplaced his medication and failed to give it to him at the right time, according to the coroner's report. Guy Morissette, a spokesman for the Outatouais health agency, acknowledged that the ER at the Gatineau Hospital is indeed one of "the worst in the western hemisphere." The health watchdog report gave the Gatineau Hospital a D- for emergency care. That comment was then echoed in the coroner's report into Gauthier's death.
