A Dartmouth woman with multiple sclerosis claims she is being denied a check-up with a vein specialist in Nova Scotia after undergoing a controversial treatment in Europe.
The health minister says it shouldn't be a problem for her to see someone, but Karen Clarke said she feels punished by the medical community.

“The numbness is gone out of my feet…I died and went to heaven. It's just fantastic,” she said

MS patient ‘punished’ after controversial treatment

She wanted a follow-up ultrasound to see if her veins were still open a year and a half after the procedure. She was denied and told to see a neurologist. An access to care failure.
