Lisa Shore died in October
1998 at the Hospital for Sick Children, at the age of
10. In 2000, a coroner's inquest jury found that Lisa's
death was a homicide. In 2001, Lisa's two nurses
were charged with criminal negligence causing death, but the
charges were withdrawn in 2003. In 2005, Lisa's nurses
were found
guilty of professional misconduct by their nursing
licensing body. Immediately following this finding, the
nurses returned to their jobs at the Hospital for Sick
Children.
Lisa's
mother, Sharon
Shore,
wrote a
book about these events, describing how the hospital and
its lawyers tried to cover up what had happened.
As a result of the
experiences described in her book, Sharon entered Osgoode Hall Law School in September 2002
as a mature student. She was called to the bar in September
2006 and is now practicing law at a downtown Toronto
litigation boutique.
The
two lawyers who represented Lisa's nurses tried
to prevent Sharon from being called to the
bar, but they did not succeed.
