In the beginning, people were sent to us directly from the green office. It was really the military referring them to the centre; they avoided going through the clinic. Unfortunately, a suicide occurred. After staying with us, the member wanted to return to the base. However, we recommended that he be sent to the hospital and seen by a physician. It was a Saturday and there was no physician on the base. The suicide occurred at that time.
Based on the agreement we made as a result of that incident, all recruits and military personnel who stay at our centre must have been seen by a base physician, or alternatively by a hospital physician, prior to coming to the centre. Before coming to stay at our centre, they must be seen by either the base clinic or our city hospital. This process was put in place following the unfortunate suicide that occurred.
