Women launch lawsuit in labour-inducing drug case at N.B hospital
MONCTON, N.B. — A class action has been launched against New Brunswick’s largest health authority and an obstetrics nurse by women who believe the nurse improperly gave them a labour-inducing drug.
The lawsuit alleges that the Moncton Hospital either knew or should have known the registered nurse allegedly added the drug to IV saline bags hooked up to pregnant women and could have done more to prevent it.
Its statements have not been proven in court, and the Horizon Health Network is refusing all comment due to an ongoing criminal investigation, while the nurse could not be reached for comment.
