Ontario hospital nurse tells inquest she never spoke to Heather Winterstein on day she died, staff overwhelmed

A triage nurse who assessed Heather Winterstein hours before she died of sepsis in the St. Catharines, Ont., hospital says she had little time with the 24-year-old, telling a coroner's inquest the emergency department staff were overwhelmingly busy, in part due to the pandemic. "Nurses are burned out. Nurses are exhausted," Andrea Demery said several days into the inquiry.
