I actually have a story. One day in 2016, a member started experiencing mild discomfort in her left rib cage. At first, she didn't think much of it, but she started having shortness of breath, so she followed up and went to MIR. She had severe chest pain. During her intake, the medical staff reviewed.... I'll skip a lot of this.
A few days passed. She started feeling even more ill. Left arm pain and the pain in her chest was more intense. Fast-forward to three days later. At this point, she must have looked like hell. She went up to the counter in tears and said she couldn't breathe. They finally took her seriously and she went for blood work, X-rays and an ultrasound.
Her blood work must have tipped them off or something. They sent her to a Fredericton hospital, where she received a CAT scan and an MRI. She deteriorated overnight, and they told her that if it got worse, to go to the emergency room. She eventually went to the emergency room, where she was immediately admitted to the ICU and they diagnosed her with a pulmonary embolism.
It was her first major experience with the medical care system outside of routine medical checks. To this day, she has minimal faith in the care provided to her by military members.
