On March 6, 2025, a nurse named Kamaljeet Kaur Dherdi made a profoundly distressing error at Holy Family Care Home in Manitoba, Canada. Instead of properly dressing a resident's wound, she inserted a large amount of gauze into the resident's anus. This egregious mistake, described as "no registered nurse should have made," went unnoticed for hours until a health-care aide discovered the uncared-for wound.
Dherdi was fined $8,000 and is facing numerous restrictions following her admission of guilt during a hearing with the College of Registered Nurses of Manitoba.
