@cbcnews: This Ontario woman went to Brampton Civic Hospital for a procedure to treat a kidney stone. She came out calling it “the most barbaric thing I have ever been through.” Terri-Ann Perras, 33, said she received no sedation or pain medication before the procedure, despite being told by the doctor treating her that she would. A different doctor performed the procedure and later told her the process typically doesn't involve anesthetic. Perras signed a hospital consent form, but she said she wasn’t able to give informed consent for the treatment because the procedure details weren’t fully communicated to her ahead of time. William Osler Health System declined to comment on Perras's case, citing patient privacy. In an email, they said they "strive to deliver safe and compassionate care for every patient we treat,” and that they offer "a timely and comprehensive patient relations process for addressing concerns and offering support." #Healthcare #Hospital #BramptonCivicHospital

I would have stopped the procedure when the nurse said no pain meds bc you had to be booked in OR.

I remember seeing her videos on TikTok. She likely felt like this was her only option because she had been told the surgical option was a waitlist
