Woman From Blacks Harbour Says She Is Alive Because Of Health Clinic

After a similar situation in McAdam, a woman from Blacks Harbour is telling her story.


Donna Moses says she had a brain aneurysm back in 1999, and she was taken to the Fundy Health Centre to be stabalized, before heading to the Saint John Regional Hospital.

She says her neurosurgeon called her his "miracle of '99", but she believes that that miracle wouldn't have happened if she had not been brought to the Fundy Health Clinic first.
In February, 4 fire victims in McAdam -- who were only 700 feet away from the McAdam Health Centre -- were made to wait over an hour for enough ambulances, because it is against Ambulance NB policy to take patients to a Health clinic, without a 24 hour emergency room.

A spokesperson for Madeline Dube says the Health Minister will be notified of the situation.
