The mindset of Quebec hospitals:
A dying elderly patient can't be admitted to the palliative unit because she has Covid. She's in pain but is denied sedatives because there's a rule that it's only done in the palliative unit.
The hospital yields when they find out she's the widow of the late premier Robert Bourassa.
They later announce they will review their policy -- when a newspaper is going to publish the story.

Are the people who run the hospital (and therefore make the rules) medical professionals or just managers. ?
@zleap It's a huge bureaucracy. I don't know who is responsible for that unfortunate rule but the hospital itself answers to a local health board.
