![Jennifer Duguay, 52, says that on Nov. 8 Windsor Regional Hospital told her they weren't able to book her in for an urgent biopsy to check if she had inflammatory breast cancer. She says she was told the hospital couldn't do it because they were still dealing with the impact of a ransomware attack that took place Oct. 23.
