Ep. #252. RE: My Ottawa Testimony about Medically Assisted Suicide being offered to a Veteran, and the fallout

from Operation Tango Romeo, the Trauma Recovery Podcast · host Mark Meincke

On Monday, October 24th I testified in Ottawa about a Veteran who was offered assisted suicide by Veterans Affairs Canada.  After the testimony, the Veteran contacted me, and expressed significant disapproval.  Although I don't understand what exactly was said which he disapproves of, I do have a feeling that it's not what I said, but that he feels I may be profiting from his painful experience.  This episode is my response, and I can only hope he hears it the way it's intended.  VAC must be held to account.  Veterans must be protected.  Reform at VAC is critical.
