The clinics are not equipped to take care of high-needs cases. They can handle low-needs cases, like my own, since I go to the clinic every two months. I have a scheduled 30-minute appointment with my doctor. She renews my prescription and asks me how I'm doing. Even my doctor is leaving. Ms. Lévesque is leaving Ste. Anne's Hospital, and she won't be back to treat veterans again. She even suggested that I continue seeing her at the Hôpital du Sacré-Coeur de Montréal, a civilian hospital. That should give you an idea of how things stand. When I go to the clinic for my appointment after the holidays, I will no longer have a doctor.
