The absence of an MRI scanner in the new hospital has been the subject of a petition signed by thousands.
scanner in the new hospital has been the subject of a petition signed by thousands, including Judy and David Jeffries, who live just minutes from Portage.
In addition to the need for a brain scan, Judy said, she’s also waiting on an MRI for a problem with her knee. Her husband David is also in need of a scan to see if his kidney cancer has returned. “Is it possible that my seizures are caused from a brain tumour, and if it is, it’s been eight months and it’s growing… can it possibly get to a place where there’s nothing you can do?”David said seven months after an ablation procedure, he received a CT scan, and despite finding something potentially concerning on the scan, his doctors said they can’t really say what it is until he can get an MRI to confirm it.“It’s frustrating.
“So we’re managing the hand we were dealt from the previous government when it comes to health care.”
