This is my own patient, whom I love very much, and I asked her permission to tell her story today. She actually said, as did every single contact in every story I shared, that she is willing to talk to this committee. I've also emailed the chairs with other stories that I couldn't fit in here. They want to share their stories about what happened. She wants to tell you that she is very worried about the poverty she will be thrown into if she can't go back to work and that she'd rather die than live in poverty.
I'd be happy to be connected with the clerk, or whomever, to give you all of these stories. They are all recent stories, including the ones I already sent to Madam Chair and Mr. Chair.
