Franklin Memorial Hospital launches internal review over the claims

The Sun Journal

FARMINGTON, Maine — Officials at Franklin Memorial Hospital said Monday that they would conduct an internal review of complaints aired in the media from a Nova Scotia woman who says she and her late husband were mistreated by a crew from the hospital’s ambulance service, NorthStar, last Thursday.

Dana Morse, the widow of David Morse, who died Thursday following a skiing accident at Sugarloaf, told a reporter with the Chronicle Herald of Halifax, Nova Scotia, that the ambulance crew left her by the side of the road when she asked to ride in the back of the ambulance so she could hold her dying husband’s hand.

Morse also charged EMTs with not taking proper care of her husband and said she performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on him in front of them, according to the story, which ran Sunday in the Canadian newspaper.
