Yes, it happens all the time. I think it's DND's duty to make sure they know everything that's wrong with those soldiers. Who better to know what's wrong than the doctors who have been watching them for their whole careers? They do have first-hand experience.
Depending on what CU, and that's the hospital care delivery unit.... You know, I had the same doctor for five or six years. When it was all said and done, at the end he knew exactly what was going on. He watched me deteriorate, and he tried to help as much as he could. At the end of the day, when he wrote his report, he said, “This is what he's going through, what he's been through, and this is what needs to happen.”
For me, I wasn't letting it go, and I was going to get what I wanted. But the frustration with veterans is the no, no, no. They know that most of them are going to go, “I can't handle this. I'm out of here.”
