Qalik went for the annual medical check-up and was told not to get off the ship because she had TB. The hospital ship sailed away before her husband returned, so her husband never knew where she went. He got home to an empty tent, no wife.

Annie Kimalu Palluq is in her late 70s today. She was a
young lady in 1958 when she was x-rayed for tuberculosis and was told she had to go to a hospital in the south. According to Annie, there were many Inuit in the hospital ship. They stopped at every community. The last stop was Cape Dorset where a mother and daughter got on. They had TB. Annie says she remembers laying wide-awake at night listening to many coughs. The hospital ship docked in the middle of the night in
Montreal. The Inuit were gathered and put in the train. Annie looked after two little girls, Sataa and Leevee. The little girls were frightened by the speed of the train and its loud horn. Annie did her best to comfort them, after all they had left their comfort and security behind — their mother and father. Annie and her sister-in-law Oleepeeka were grateful to
be reunited with their relatives and friends when they arrived at the Hamilton Mountain Sanatorium. Annie says: “It was so good to see Kakik and Joanasie Salomonie, my cousins. Kakik used to save me apples and oranges from his meals.” Often there were no interpreters. Annie Kimalu is grateful
to Mary Panigusiq who was one of the main translators/ interpreters for the many Inuit. She wasn’t available all the time; she was so much in demand, not only for the hospitals
