I think at times why am I doing this litigation. At the beginning it was easy. It was to make VCHA, PGT, and the other defendants accountable for their behaviors. A judge told them to work with me but they refused and then I got a lawyer they also refused to work with him. Lawyere are insiders, they are suppose to treat each with respect but this is not what is happening. They are making my lawyer look incompetent and stupid in front of the judiciary.
The CMPA will do anything to prevent class actions against their guild members. The CMPA could be best described as a union. They behave like thugs. The CMPA is not an isurance company but they pay for lawyering of all physicians. Membership fees are paid on behalf of each physician by the provincial government. In the US physicians are careful because if they screw up their insurance goes up or the insurer will refuse to pay future claims. But this does not happen in Canada. Physicians can make as many mistakes as they want as the guild (their brothers) looks after them.
This whole thing should not have happened.When this started (I thought) I was being friendly and an advocate for my husband and the next thing I am having my hours restricted to seeing my husband at GPC.
As years went by I was being bullied as I did not know what they were going to do next. Even now I shake thinking about it. I was once accused of stealing orchids from the grounds. They phoned the cops. I was always glad when Randy had to go to VGH because then I could visit him whenever I wanted and he was better cared for than at GPC.
In 2013 Randy had one too many admissions to VGH and it was decided that Randy was chronic and he should not live any more. They rationed his treatment and also reported me to the PGT that I was not a fit person to be my husband's health care representative. They arranged that Randy be declared incompetent and got an order signed by the mental health designate who works for VCHA to revoke my power of attorney and VCHA refused to abide by my husband's representation agreement even though they had no court order to do so. As soon as they would get a court order then the PGT would become committee of his person and it would agree with VCHA that it would be in the best interest of Randy that his death be hastened. Randy was being sentenced to death and Randy knew it. He was afraid. How is it possible that they can do it to him.
On January 23 2014 I was 100% banned from all VCHA properties for life because I was disrespectful to managment (i.e. I was against DNRs) and I was violent. On October 21 2013 with Randy's consent we were exiting from GPC and I was physically mobbed and assaulted by staff at GPC. I wanted charges laid against the staff and Paladin but the police refused to do anything. The staff attacked me, forbade Randy from leaving GPC by force, and then Risk Management decided to use that incident to plead that I was violent and that was why I had to be banned forever. They lied and said that I was trying to run staff over with Randy's electric wheelchair. Randy did not have an electric wheelchair. They forced/threw me in a chair and two of them sat on me and would not let me leave. When the police finally came, I told them that I had a represention agreement and they read it and then left me alone. Because I was shaking so much and crying they suggested that I go home. I wasn't able to see Randy until after a week later when he became sick again and he had to go to VGH. At that time I did not know why he was being sent to VGH. I was always told he is being sent to VGH for observation. After Randy's death I was able to access his medical records and on that admission and many other admissions it was noted by VGH that he had to be better suctioned. If a trach person is not being suctioned it will lead to pneumonia and death.
And another thing VCHA never gave me the heads-up on the three patients at VGH who died because staff did not know how to use a passey-muir valve. I was told this by three RTs. Of course they want me to be banned for life as VCHA cannot control every word a staff member speaks. I am a friendly person, people talk to me. When you are an old lady that is what people do.
Another timbit: the PGT knew that VCHA was attempting to kill Randy on November 18 2013 and they did nothing.
I am not sure if they killed Randy because he was chronic or because I was overly friendly.

May 19 2019
I do not want to get old. I am so tired all the time I can't seem to do anything although I am always doing something. Just bits and pieces. I just noticed my $150 blouse from Nordstroms has a rip on the front seam where the buttons are.. I have never ever washed the blouse and now I have to spend an afternoon going downtown and exchanging it. And since Friday (two Fridays ago my transit pass did not work. Cliche in the system so I have to attend at the Translink office downtown to get an interim pass. Then I notice out the window a middle-aged man trespassing and he is crushing four large bags of cans. He said to me that the bus driver would not allow him on the bus as he has too many cans so he has to crush them so he can go downtown and sell them at Together We Can. Then my computer is acting up and I have to find my way down to London Drugs and maybe they can tell me if it is serious or not. I have been under additional stress thinking about the litigation and I have chewed off my nails. I am 75 years old and I am biting my nails. What a state I am in. My vision is failing and my teeth hurt (nerves). I am totally burnt out. And I would really like to know what VCHA did to Carolanne. I was told that she had a no contact order on her. No one knows where she is. Carolanne most likely does not know she has a no contact order on her and she is angry because no one is visiting her, I checked with Vital Statistics and the coroner so she is still alive: no death reported. VCHA does what ever it wants and since the media will not report on its bad behavior they keep doing whatever they want. And when I asked David Bell why was I banned fromVCHA, his answer was: You know what you did. And I said no I did not know what I did. He is not authorized to tell me where Carolanne is either. We are becoming a dark state and no one is screaming. And Nova Scotia has now passed legislation that says your dead body can be used for organ transplants automatically. You have to go out of your way while alive to inform the government that you do not want your body used this way. Saying you agree to an organ transplant is an advanced directive which do not meet the requirements for a legal advanced directive or informed consent. And what would happened if you did not have a driver's licence. Who owns your body after death. Since removing an organ is not medical treatment, I wonder how the law defines it. Since you are going to die anyways, why not allow the removal of your organs before death, so organs are in pristine condition to be transplanted. Removing an organ will cause your death before you die.

Langara path
In 2011, at this time of year, I was in a conversation with a woman doctor. Both of us were walking on the pathway surrounding the Langara golf course. She mentioned that she had just put her mother down by starving her and her family was angry at her and would not talk to her. She said that starving her mother was painless and in the best interest of her mother. She also told me that VCHA usually allows patients two years before they decide to end treatment. It was exactly two years from the time Randy entered GPC that a DNR was placed on him. And my life of terror began.
--------------------
I just came across an article written by Bobby Schindler on June 13, 2008. It said that in the US denying food and hydration is a widely practiced "medical treatment." When I attended the Bentley case in BC, a medical professional said the same thing to me. It is done all the time. If patients are being starved to death and it is a widely practiced, how is it that I did not know about it. Just like the common practise of putting DNRs on patients without their knowledge.

Huntington Post 15 May 2018
As Ontario's large cohort of baby boomers become seniors, the system will come under more strain, the FAO report said. The average 50-year-old in Ontario needs about $3,100 of health-care services annually, while a 65-year-old needs $6,400 worth of care and an 85-year-old needs more than $22,000 in care.
