His 95-year-old grandmother was discharged in only a hospital gown. It was –10 C

When Greg Mitchell of Ottawa picked up his grandmother from University Hospital in London, Ont., last week, he says he was surprised to find her in her wheelchair wearing only a blue hospital gown, with the temperature –10 C.

“They sent home her clothing in a bag,” said Mitchell about the 95-year-old, who has dementia.

“When the porter dropped her off to me outside, she said something to the effect that, ‘She’s a handful, and she’s not happy and she’s all yours now.'”
