Laissé à la porte du système de santé
Malgré ses propres souffrances, Benoît Vallée trouvait encore le moyen de se soucier des autres. En mars 2024, il a écrit une lettre pleine de sollicitude à sa médecin : vous êtes peut-être malade, ça m’inquiète, je vous ai laissé plusieurs messages au CLSC, vous ne m’avez pas rappelé. Ce n’est pas normal…

| Dans le trafic en ambulance
Difficile de circuler à Montréal ? Parlez-en aux ambulanciers. La multiplication des chantiers rend leur travail plus hasardeux que jamais. Si on ajoute à ces entraves le manque de civisme des automobilistes, qui ignorent sirènes et gyrophares, le désastre les guette à chaque intervention. Notre chroniqueur a accompagné un superviseur sur le terrain.
