Terry Coventry will spend his final days in Whitehorse this week after declining to permanently relocate to Vancouver to receive life-saving hemodialysis treatment.
“Maybe my death, and my complaint here, will trigger something in the government so the next guy coming along can be here and won’t be shipped down south,” Coventry said Tuesday morning at Whitehorse General Hospital.
“I’m going to die. That’s it … I’m not afraid, I’m just kind of pissed off.”
Coventry, 74, spent the last several months at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver. He was transferred there in late July when an operation led to complications and a diagnosis of kidney failure.
