In this episode, we dive into a topic that's crucial not only for Veterans but also for clinicians, researchers, and Veteran families. Accessing health benefits for service-related injuries requires Veterans to have an approved pension condition with Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC), and the process can be overwhelming. Joining Tom Hoppe on this show is Harold Leduc, a former member of the Veterans Affairs Review and Appeal Board. Harold has adjudicated over 5,000 cases and served as an expert witness before Parliamentary and Senate committees. He has also advised government officials on Veteran benefits and legislation. Known for his deep knowledge of Veterans' rights and policies, Harold is here to shed light on this complex process.

Dans cette balado, nous discutons avec Nathan Augeard, physiothérapeute, étudiant au Doctorat à l’Université McGill à Montréal, de l’importance de la réadaptation et de la physiothérapie dans la prise en charge de la douleur et comment chaque personne peut essayer de gérer sa douleur et en minimiser les impacts dans son quotidien. Nous abordons également la notion d’un modèle utilisé en réadaptation qui tient compte de la personne dans sa globalité soit l’utilisation du modèle biopsychosocial et la manière dont les physiothérapeutes l'utilisent pour l'évaluation et la planification du traitement de la douleur. Et cette balado conclut sur l’importance pour le physiothérapeute, dans le traitement de la douleur, de travailler en partenariat avec la personne.

“I'm a veteran myself and I've been involved with veteran advocacy for 18 plus years. I got involved with the chronic pain center of excellence just as they were starting up. And they were talking about paying navigators or coaches, which I've done some work with veterans. That's how our relationship is. The room was full of researchers. Clinicians really cared about veterans and who wanted to see those markers move through research and evidence-based research veterans suffer twice that of the civilian population when it comes to chronic pain. And why? We’ve got to take a step back and really just say, well, what's it mean to be a soldier, culture and identity? Is that the impact that affects veterans, that thought bank, their military mindset of mission-first, team, regiment and self last is very different. And in order to complete the mission, one must push through. So, we become numb to pain. Mission First and self-last really ties into the chronic pain. Knowledge is power. So, through education, they will be able to better manage their chronic pain. We’re going to talk about that on the show. How do you manage your chronic pain? And, as researchers, we have to understand that veterans have a different culture. And when they're doing research, it can’t be viewed through a civilian lens. Do it through the lens of a veteran. It's not the same as a civilian’s. It's not the same as first responders’. And that is important to understand and same with the clinicians. When they have a veteran walk into their clinic, it’s important to understand the military culture. You don't want to say anything about your injuries, because it can impact your career. It could impact how you're viewed within your unit. And on top of that, some veterans who do not fully understand the Veterans’ Affairs system may also not want to disclose because it could impact their benefits. So, this education is a 360 approach. It's the veteran, it's the researcher and the clinicians. And by doing that, perhaps we can provide a better outcome for them. Because the veteran, as with any type of healthcare, the patient. In this case, the veteran has a responsibility to meet the clinician halfway to do their part. And we can do that through education."
