For the second time in the past week, CBC News has learned that a Winnipeg hospital wrongly contacted a family to tell them their loved one was dead when they were in fact alive.

Lorna Paisley was in her bed at Victoria General Hospital in July when a nurse entered her room to apologize after accidentally calling Paisley's husband, Tom, to tell him she had died.

"When he heard, he reacted by, he started to cry," Paisley said. "He started to yell 'No, no, no'. He fell down and his boss was driving him to the hospital when she called back and said she'd made a mistake."

Paisley was admitted to the hospital in the summer due to a respiratory infection. She learned from the female nurse that a mixup with charts led her to mistakenly call Paisley's husband with the wrong information.

"I didn't want to talk to her; I wanted to talk to my husband so that he could hear my voice and know that I was okay," Paisley said, adding the news devastated her husband.

"I still worry about what toll it took on my husband, you know, mentally and physically."

Paisley's sister is a nurse and was shocked when she heard about what happened.

"She was appalled," Paisley said. "We don't understand why; Victoria Hospital told me how sorry they were. They said there would be an upcoming meeting to reinforce ... checking IDs better before making phone calls."

A spokesperson with the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority said in a statement Friday night that it regrets what happened to Paisley and her family.

Additional training for staff at Victoria General Hospital, as well as a review of the incident, have already taken place, the spokesperson added.

Paisley's wrongful death notification comes on the heels of a similar story involving another Winnipeg family.

Last month, Dan Nemis received a call from a staff member at Seven Oaks General Hospital saying his mother, Sophia Nemis, had died, when that wasn't the case.
