A suicidal patient is refused!

Policeman Yanick Campagna was suspended for a day for using coarse language.  But the reader will not blame him after absorbing this story.  As he arrives at the admission of Enfant Jesus hospital in Quebec City, the male nurse shouts "Ah No! Not him again!" It turns out that patient had left the hospital that morning!  So the nurse tells Yanick : "I don't want to see him.  He will not be triaged.  Drive him away"  But the policeman objects ; he throws himself in front of cars, I could be blamed if there is an inquiry.  So the policeman asks for the intervention of PECH, a community group.  PECH arranged for an ambulance to Saint Sacrement hospital.  The story was published in Le Soleil newspaper.
