George Pearson Centre

Marion, I got a piece of paper signed by Randy today saying that he wants to see me everyday like I have been for nine months. You better have a very good explanation as to why this is impossible. It is very clear to me that you would have let Randy die rather than allow me to visit Randy except on your restrictive unreasonable terms.

The second situation was created by Bob by his failure to quickly end the malicious gossip and bullying caused by your staff, residents and visitors. I was recently accused of stealing an eight cent tomato and this is no different.

Next week I am free during the daylight hours so I will be wanting to visit Randy each weekday from 9:00 to 4:00. I want to visit him in the ward so I can interact with his nursing staff to satisfy myself that he is getting the mandated care and also tend to his entertainment, educational and physio needs. Considering the dire state of health care dollars, I know you will welcome any assistance I can give. It was agreed that your RT would train me to suction Randy so this coming week would be a good time to begin the training.

Your security can accompany me and stand guard as long as they are standing and not sitting. Do not worry I will not call out if Joy is choking to death and there is no one on the floor to come to her aid.

I will also wear a scarlett letter on my sweater to make sure that residents, visitors and staff stay away from me.

We did speak to you about the concerns at our meeting on Feb 23rd- unfortunately there was a second situation shortly after that meeting

I am unable to be here this afternoon during your visit- will leave the info on visiting for you with security and hopefully connect on Monday

How can you make that kind of decision without evern talking to me. I should have been the fourth part of this team.

These decisions are never done lightly or without extensive consultation- so it would be a team decision, between security, risk management, and myself as the manger of residential services at GPC

So, who is doing the restricting of hours.

Audrey, keep me posted and we will see what we can do ...

At this time you are restricted to weekday days ( 5 days per week) so this gives us a fair amount of flexibility-

Marion , after paying my rent I have little money. I have to find some kind of work and that means day hours and the restrictive visiting hours is making it very difficult.

After I spoke with you I did follow up with supervisors and staff about the Saturday incident and possible misconceptions

I am aware of the trach issues as we have spoken before- do you remember the circumstances or timeline regarding the three gashes

I did check on Randy this morning, and he seems well and comfortable in bed-

The recreation department was wondering if you and Randy would like to have a garden plot to plant flowers in- the gardening program is on Tuesday so it would fit in with your planned visits- it runs from 2-4 – I can get you some information on the program if you are interested

I was right. For three weeks I stayed away from GPC and then when I agreed to your "I am going to punish Audrey terms" I agreed to see Randy and what I feared has happened. You are just looking for a further excuse to ban me forever so that Randy will die for lack of a will to live and he won't understand why. All I am is spied up and incident reports created. Please be advised that the subject of the eight page incident report about the flowers were the ones I left at gpc at 9:30 in the morning Sunday for Randy and they were purchased from Cambie Flowers on late Saturday evening for $5.00. They were wrapped in clear cellophane surrounded by a pink waxed paper with raffelle ribbon. The mini orchids could not be misinterpreted to be from the grounds of George Pearson Centre. You told Security that the flowers came from the gardens of stephen king centre. Suggest you speak to the nursing staff on Sunday as I am sure none of them would have been part of this persecution.

As far as I am concerned you are denying Randy the right to additional care considering the wide spread belief of lack of funding. You should be encouraging those like me to spend as much time as possible with residents to audit their progress each day. Randy has had numerous incidents at George Pearson respecting his trach and also I seem to remember three gashes in his head which was never investigated and today small gashes on his hands. And on Monday I noticed his trach tie was bloodied and there was droplets of blood on his wheel chair: arm rest and wheel.

Randy told me he does NOT like it at George Pearson, he gives Dr. Dunn a finger whenever I speak of him, he wants to go home and unless he sees some progress he will surely pull out his life support again and the next time your overworked staff will not arrive in time to save his life.
