23 May 2019 Did they hasten Randy's death because he was chronic or because I was friendly.

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.
