Criminal charges have been laid against a 49-year-old woman who allegedly posed as a nurse while working at a Vancouver hospital – something she's accused of doing elsewhere in Canada as well.

The woman allegedly used a real nurse's name while "providing medical care to patients" at B.C. Women's Hospital, according to the Vancouver Police Department.

"We don't yet know how many people in Vancouver may have received treatment from the fraudulent nurse, but we're working with the Provincial Health Services Authority to identify patients who may have had contact with her," Const. Tania Visintin said in a news release. Brigitte Cleroux is charged with fraud over $5,000 and personation with intent in British Columbia, where she remains in custody pending her next court appearance.

Maybe she can get a job at Cambridge Memorial. Their Emergency department has not been able to treat more than 5 patients at a time for weeks. (I have the screenshots of Wait time calculator) Sometimes as few as 3 while 55 wait. My local walkin handles more.

'uttering a forged documents' ? huh?

I’d take that over the place in Surrey sharing needles
