#StarExclusive from @thecribby: Botched cancer screening and treatment delayed — New allegations claim Health Sciences North, a hospital in Sudbury, Ont., ran a substandard breast screening program and failed to fix known problems thestar.com/news/investiga…
It started when Shannon Hayes felt a lump in her breast three years ago. She was examined and reassured by radiologists at Health Sciences North (HSN) that her lump was benign.

After assuming she needed no further treatment, a 2019 check up found Hayes had grade three breast cancer.
“I was in shock,” she said. “The cancer had been in me for a year and had grown. I was so terrified and still am for what it means for my future” /3 thestar.com/news/investiga…

Hayes is now named in a proposed $22-million class action lawsuit claiming “major systemic issues” in the @HSN_Sudbury radiology dept have led to “countless missed lesions” that had a “direct impact on patient care.” /4 thestar.com/news/investiga…
Staff inside @HSN_Sudbury have raised concerns about the competency of its radiologists, particularly one doctor whose “overt misreads” have led “directly to near-catastrophic outcomes on several of our patients.” /5 thestar.com/news/investiga…
In a statement to the Star, @HSN_Sudbury said it is "dedicated to providing high quality patient care for families of Northeastern Ontario."
