And how were you received in the medical system? It was horrendous. I was abandoned. I was seeking answers, but I didn't get any answers. I had to do my own research.
Nathalie Barbe · 1:57:38
She did.
Nathalie Barbe · 1:57:40
Together we had to move forward, but I was left to my own devices, and I don't understand how my doctor over 40 years would ask me, well, what happened? He couldn't explain my symptoms. He said I was a rare and complex case, that it was difficult for him to know. I had hand surgery. I'm waiting to go to a hospital in Montreal. The request has been made, but it takes a long time. You say this because you don't have enough services in the Outaouais region? That's right. I have to go to Montreal. So my chart ended up with a neurosurgeon, and a month and a half ago the neurosurgeon got in touch. I had been waiting since 2024, and so he sent requisitions for the infiltrations I needed.
Nathalie Barbe · 1:58:47
And in the public system, they didn't call me from 2020— January 2025. And so I took matters into my own hands I went to a service to receive injections, a private service. I had to do that on my own. So you're— you had a neurosurgeon, and what did he say to you? A month and a half ago, he got in touch and said, Miss Barb, you've been calling me a lot. And I said, yes, it's because I don't understand what's happening to my body. I need help. And he said, I have to transfer you to a neurologist. I said, you've had my chart since 2024 and you've got to transfer me to a neurologist, you say? I don't get it. So I got an appointment with that neurologist. He didn't even know who had made the requisition to have me see him.
Nathalie Barbe · 1:59:51
I, I said which neurosurgeon it was, and he said a neurosurgeon, and I said yes. So I spoke to the neurologist. I asked him to look at my photos because I'm not the same person now. I am unrecognizable to myself. I experience shame. I live in a very small community. And it's hard for me. What's hard for you about living in a small community? Is it that everybody knows you? Everybody knows where you started and where you're at now? Is that what it is? Yes, it's hard for the people I love, for my children, for my husband. You showed me that you took a spike protein test, and we've filed this as evidence.
Nathalie Barbe · 2:00:53
It was negative for one thing, but it was positive for the spike protein. So what were you told about the result of that test? Well, I have a new doctor that took me on 2 months ago, and I asked the doctor, could you please help me? Could you send a requisition for a spike protein blood test? I know that I'm vaccine injured. And he said, sure, no problem. Finally, he really listened to me. That requisition, you can't get it anywhere. You have to find the right spot to get this blood test. And the doctors, they don't want to talk to us. A rare and complex case in the UDAW is not attractive to a doctor.
Nathalie Barbe · 2:01:54
And so you were told by doctors that you just had to accept your new life? After multiple emergency visits at the hospital, I have doctors who were kind of jumping up and down. They were biting their nails. They were told— they would tell me, Miss Barb, you're going to have to get used to a new reality. You won't be the same person again. You have to relearn how to walk. And at the hospital in Montreal, they can help you. But how long am I going to wait? My symptoms continue and I'm ashamed of them. I don't have a life anymore. I am disabled. My new doctor has a lot of paperwork to do for me. I have been approved by, uh, Retraite Québec, the retirement body, since 2024. As disabled, yes.
Nathalie Barbe · 2:02:54
As a person with a disability, my husband fills out my paperwork. I don't know if you're aware what it's like to go from being so active and alive to being dysfunctional. I am losing my autonomy and I am seeking answers now. Why didn't they tell us? I would often ask, well, is it the vaccine? And they say no, no. And I would say, well, why no? And they'd say because we can't prove it. And I say, well, why did it happen to me? After so many years, I have been able to prove that it was the vaccine. So why didn't they listen to me initially? But now I remain disabled.
Nathalie Barbe · 2:03:56
They said that I have an H24 active nervous system. I lost over 25 pounds. I wasn't able to eat this morning because it might have prevented me from talking. You were telling me that it's hard to even comb your hair, that it can trigger crises. Yes, I have a very sensitive scalp. My scalp is sensitive and even my, my skin. Nobody can touch me because I have a burning sensation. It's kind of like Arctic cold touching me. I can't really describe it. It's a burning inside of me. My esophagus is also sensitive. I sometimes struggle to speak because I struggle to find breath. I'm going to stop here and let the MPs question you. Thank you very much.
Dean Allison · 2:04:58

So we, we do appreciate you coming. Thank you.
