Hello!
I have some doubts about the usage of 'ensure', which I once found somwhere on the net. The example was like that:

I will ensure that she should go to the doctor.

Ensure + should? Does something like that actually exist?
Thanks in advance.

If you want to ensure that someone should go to a doctor, you could break their arm. Otherwise, I agree with tedtmc.
