In Toronto's Weston neighborhood, a teenage boy named Jakhai Jack was fatally shot, and witnesses, including Dacota Carriere, criticized the lack of immediate assistance from West Park Healthcare Centre. Carriere, who attempted to get help for the boy as he lay bleeding, expressed that immediate intervention could have saved Jack's life. The facility is not equipped for emergencies, which raises questions about the response protocol and the long wait times for 911 services. As a result, the incident has drawn attention to the inadequacies in emergency response protocols in non-hospital healthcare settings.
"I truly believe if first responders had come immediately when they were needed, or he got the attention he needed right away, I truly believe he would have survived..."
"The boy was fighting up until his last moments..."
"West Park Healthcare Centre is not a hospital, but provides specialized rehabilitation care after life-altering illness or injury..."
"Should there be an emergency on the property, our first response would involve the attendance of security personnel and/or a call to 9-1-1..."
