Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says she is seeking a second medical opinion concerning a woman who sued Alberta Health Services (AHS) and her transplant doctors for denying her a life-saving organ transplant unless she first receives COVID-19 shots.
The premier was asked during a press conference on Nov. 29 about Sheila Annette Lewis, who recently lost her appeal in the Alberta Court of Appeal in which the judge ruled that a transplant candidate must follow mandatory COVID-19 vaccine policies.
