My experience is probably the same as that of most veterans.
In my region, in Saguenay, we're often told to go to a private clinic. I did, and I brought my medical file, but I was told that they couldn't accept me as a patient because it was too complicated, even though I paid out of my own pocket.
After 32 years of service in the forces, I'm leaving sick, but it's too complicated for the private sector.
