In early 2003, Ontario's deputy chief coroner ordered an inquest into the
tragic deaths of two children due to post-operative complications in a
Hamilton hospital. The cases may never have been reported were it not for John
Lewis, a registered nurse, and father of 11-year-old Claire - one of the two
children. Beware the Grieving Warrior describes John's fight, in the midst of
immeasurable grief and sorrow, against hospital staff and administration who
failed to acknowledge their neglect. By turns shocking and heartrending,
infuriating and inspiring, this book offers a chilling first-hand account of
the obstacles and resistance Lewis encountered as he wound through a hellish
maze of bureaucracy, until he won his day in court. The story is intensely
intimate and brutally honest. It is about the suffering that inevitably
results - for patients, their families, and for the health care professionals
involved - when the truth is withheld.
