Newfoundland man diagnosed with schizophrenia sues over forced injection in car
ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — A man diagnosed with schizophrenia who says he was forcibly injected by a health worker in the back of a car is suing Newfoundland’s largest health authority.
Marc Arsenault says the forced injection last January is one of many times Eastern Health violated his Charter rights.
He said two Eastern Health workers arrived at his St. John’s home, asking if he wanted his monthly shot.
“They were taking me out to McDonald’s to have a coffee,” Arsenault said in an interview.
