The thread below reports that Toronto's hospitals will no longer allow stretcher cases to take chamber dives, condemning injured divers to a helo ride to Hamilton or Buffalo . . . or to death.
For a hospital to turn away an injured person and possibly sentence them to death to shield itself from potential liability strikes me as odiously selfish and irresponsible.
It also suggests how deep the fears of run away liability are changing behaviors in North America for the worst.
