Northern Life - Story on Mr. George Kennedy
Quotes from [EXHIBIT
C-75]
(q 01) Doctors told her she only had 30 days to live.
(q 02) Fourteen years later, Sylvia is still alive, although disabled, and her husband fights
every day to get her the treatment she needs - the care he says she was promised by the
province, her employer, her union and her benefits carrier.
But the Kennedys have learned the healthcare system is not designed for a person with a
long-term illness which requires expensive care. Bureaucratic and financial hurdles
add to the suffering endured by patients and their families.
(q 03) Sylvia's doctors - there have been almost 30 since she first became sick - have
prescribed 24/7 nursing home care since 1994.
(q 04) George Kennedy has a dispute with SMCCAC. Their stormy relationship dates back to
1992, and for the past three years SMCCAC has not provided any care, or paid for anything
for his wife.
SMCCAC is also not paying for ambulance service, food supplements and medication, or
incontinence supplies for Sylvia, things they provided previously.
(q 05) He (George Kennedy) has complained about the nurses SMCCAC has provided.
SMCCAC nurses have complaints about him, he (George Kennedy) says. But those
complaints were never formally investigated.
He has never received any complaint regarding what he calls false allegations about his
drinking parties and porno movies.
