This medical malpractice action concerned the plaintiff's claim of chronic pain resulting from the defendants' alleged negligence in treating a ruptured Achilles tendon.
The court found that while Dr. Boivin breached the standard of care by failing to properly immobilize the plaintiff's foot or refer her to a specialist, and Kingsway Health Centre was negligent in administrative follow-up, these breaches did not cause the plaintiff's injuries.
The plaintiff's own non-compliance with medical advice and delay in seeking surgery were found to be the cause of her worsened condition.
The court also found the plaintiff to be an unreliable and incredible witness regarding her injuries and financial losses.
The action was dismissed.
