I am going to make this easy

Through my sojourn with VCHA I never knew where letters should be sent to because no one answered any of them.  So there is no one so I will have to be the recipient.  If any of you has been unhappy with health care in Vancouver (or anywhere else) sent me a contact address.  You need not write up your story now as VCHA does not care what horrific treatment you received.  They will downplay it and it will be forgotten. At best you might be sent a robotic letter from VCHA.  Or else they will gaslight you and convince you that it is all in your mind. We need cameras in all hospital-like setting. 

The only thing that matters is numbers.  If I get thousands and thousands, I can then do something with the numbers.  I will not use your addresses unless in the future it would be necessary and then I will contact you personally.  My contact addresses are at the top of the blog face page.

Problems with my computer

I am always having problem with my computers.  Now this one is acting up and the audio is not consistent.  When I open up a file it is loud and then after two or three seconds it goes down to barely hearable.  What now another day of my life trying to find someone to help me fix it or maybe I need to buy another computer.

I finally was able to get my computer.  The technician said it was a serious virus.  It cost me $300.  At all costs avoid NORTON and AV. (July 3 2020)

Every time I think about what happened to Randy because our medical system is coercing/torturing patients to die, I find it hard to sleep and then finally when I wake like at this hour I am soaking wet and shaking.

VCHA even tells its people how to deal with complaints.  It was and still is on YouTube and I was told by a medical advocate that all lawyers know of this directive. And a wife has no rights.

Delay, Deny, Divide patient from family and convince the patient that it is the best that the institution will be his home for life, Discredit, and Demoralize.  The directive made no mention of the sixth D being Death. This is the state of our health system and has been for a long long time.

And I am living proof of it.  You do not even have to complain, all you need is one staff who wants to be a member of the upper inner circle and she demonstrates that she will follow the veiled instructions of management. To do so a false blame citing inappropriate behavior is created by her and inner-office memos abound so a false narrative quickly becomes the narrative of truth. No one asks what was so awful.

Management uses algorithms to calculate when a patient should not be treated.  The CEO of VCHA is an industrial engineer and I suspect believes in the utility of the dollar. Just ask the nurses on the floor. Even before COVID they had to resort to using equipment designed as single-use and use them for a week or more. Mary, the CEO, was playing a dangerous game.  No wonder Randy was always getting infections. At one time everyone at George Pearson Centre was dying from pneumonia. 

What happened to Randy and me was calculated and I could not see it at that time.

And I can still hear Dr. Dunne tell me that if it was up to him he would not ban anyone and that it wasn't his decision to put a DNR/CCO/DNT on my husband.

The system is so bad I do not even know who to complain to. Maybe there is no one.

No Quality of Life and the State took over ...

Much like what happened to me.  The doctors decided Randy had no quality of life and he had to die.  In order to do this, VCHA had to create evidence against me so any rights I might have would be forfeited and to do that the PGT had to take away my enduring power of attorney and representation agreement from me.  They used stealth methods to demoralize and discredit me.  The proof they created would not stand up in a court of law so VCHA is intent upon having the litigation dismissed over a technicality. I was accused by a QC that I had no respect for the law when in truth it is lawyers who have no respect for the law. Why did it take me so long to see this. It is all about the law.

Quadriplegic COVID-19 Patient Starved by Texas Doctor because of his Disability

0
Reading Time: 2 minutes Michael Hickson, a 46-year-old COVID-19 patient, was starved and left without adequate treatment for his illnesses at St. David’s South Austin Medical Center. His wife, Melissa, says the hospital refused to treat his illnesses because of his disability.
Michael Hickson became quadriplegic due to receiving CPR after he went into sudden cardiac arrest while driving Melissa to work in May 2017. Melissa and their five children stayed by Michael’s side throughout his recovery. He landed back in the hospital in 2020 after contracting COVID-19 and pneumonia from a staff member at his nursing home.
Michael was conscious and alert but could not communicate verbally. He responded to jokes, shook his head, and puckered his lips on a FaceTime call when Melissa requested a kiss. Melissa asked if she could pray with her husband and their children, to which he nodded “yes.” But the doctor soon told Melissa her husband would be placed in hospice against her will. In a recorded conversation, the St. David’s doctor told Melissa her husband would not receive treatment because of his disability, despite her wishes.
St. David’s doctor: “So as of right now, his quality of life – he doesn’t have much of one.”
Melissa: “What do you mean? Because he’s paralyzed with a brain injury he doesn’t have quality of life?”
St. David’s doctor: “Correct.”


While Michael’s wife and another family member were litigating in court who would be Michael’s permanent guardian, a judge named an Austin-area organization called Family Eldercare as temporary guardian over Michael. Family Eldercare granted the doctor’s orders to not treat Michael and instead place him in hospice. Alarmingly, the doctor reiterated the scary reality that she had zero say in whether her husband lived or died. The doctor told Melissa, “but at this point, we are going to do what we feel is best for him along with the state and this is what we decided… this is the decision between the medical community and the state.”
Michael was left without food or treatment for six days despite Melissa’s will to save her husband. He passed away from the untreated illnesses on June 11, 2020.
Now, Melissa and her children grieve their beloved husband and dad. Melissa stated, “I’m struggling to understand how and why this could ever happen. I lost my best friend, my better half, the other half of my heart.” She continued:

I was stripped of my rights as a wife, and left helplessly watching my husband be executed. I now have no husband, a widow at 47. My children left with no father to celebrate Father’s Day. All taken away from us. I have no other words to express how I feel today except hurt, angry, and frustrated.

19 June 2020



I knew there was something wrong these past few days. I have a split lip with an infection.  So my body must have some kind of infection within it. The area around the cut is hard.  I hope that a fever does not develop.

There seems to be something wrong with my computer.  I tried to arrange to have a technician look at it.  They all said that I would have to leave the computer and it would take up to two weeks before they could look at it.  I think it must be a computer virus as it is getting forever to connect properly and pages are overlapping or disappearing. Norton is installed in my computer. I will have to resort to Canada Post for communicating Before if I had a problem I could go to the library and use one of theirs but all the libraries are now closed.   I sometimes wonder if it is possible to go through one day without a problem.

Death by a thousand cuts ...

New York passed a law (June 17 2020) saying that hospitals cannot fire nurses for speaking out.

Finally after one week, I am getting over my anxiety from last week. But I am still exhausted and tired.  I hate feeling this way.

Why They Don't Trust Us | Healthcare Professionals & Conspiracy Theories




This video has to be viewed.  ZdoggMD is a physician and has a platform which mirrors my ideas as to what is wrong with the health care system and that is that the system has to be made accountable and physicians have to take back their power.  Physicians should not be dictated to by risk management.

Dr. Dunne saying that if it was up to him he would never ban anyone and it wasn't his decision to place a DNR/DNT/CCO Order on my husband. Who was telling him what to do. Physicians have to take back their power.

14 June 2929 @8:40 am

After my last post, I decided not to continue with my stress-induced health problems but I have changed my mind for this moment as I have just woken up crying and am totally soaking wet that I can rub water off my skin.  I need to change my depends and take a shower....

13 June 2020 @ 12.17 pm @5:52 pm


@ 12,17 am The cold of my living space woke me up.  I am freezing cold and shivering.  My body is still wanting to sleep. My eyes are wanting to close.  I am covering myself with additional blankets so I can get warm again and fall asleep. When next I wake I hope to have some energy.  This is what happens each time the tribe does things in this unequal field. I want the hurt in my teeth to go away.

@5:52 pm  I just woke up and I am soaking wet. My hands are wet as they attempt to slide over the keyboard. Nothing gets done again.

This is what happens each time I have to deal with the tribe.  It takes me days to get over when I get an email from the tribe.

No one should be allowed to go to court without a lawyer. And there is no method to force a lawyer to act for you.  Through the decades the process has become more and more complex and the judiciary more and more inflexible.

 On Monday I am going to repeat the purpose of a lawyer as per the law society.  At the moment I can't bear to fact check it but I assure you what they do and what they are supposed to do are polar opposites.

My eyelids can't stay open and I am freezing cold again.


@10:45 pm  I woke again.  Hot and soaking wet.  My mind is blacnk.  I want to sleep again.

12 June 2020 @ 7:12 am


I just woke up soaking wet with flashbacks of Dr. Ostrow poking at me. He was the CEO of VCHA at that time and it was under his instruction that I not see my husband. When this was happening in 2014 it was he who said that I could not even see Randy for two minutes a day so that Randy would know that I did not abandon him. I was told this my risk management.  My body is soaking wet and there are tears in my eyes.  It was he who assassinated me. He knew what was going on as I would send him emails. But then I might be wrong about that, he most likely never read them. I do not know what happened to him.  One minute he was the CEO of VCHA then he was gone replaced by the industrial engineer.  I used to refer to him and Mary as Napolean and His Josephine.  His departure had nothing to do with me.  I was nothing more than a mosquito in remote Africa in his chaotic life.  He and Josephine were focused on implementing "mean management" to save a few dollars. VCHA had to cut back on tissue paper.


@10:28 am.  I just woke up.  I am shaking.  I do not know what I am going to do.  I hate feeling this way. This is called stress.  How does one overcome the injustice that I had and having to deal with?
It is like a case of spousal abuse.  My body is so so exhausted I am falling asleep again.
.
@3:16 pm.  I am awake again but I can barely move. This has happened before and it takes a few days to recover.  I know of no research done on how litigation can affect someone who is not trained.  The unknown is scary coupled with the knowledge that it would be impossible to become an experienced lawyer without a law degree.  The process is so civilized and politically correct which means any process takes forever and this archaic process will eventually implode.  Waiting ten years for an apology does not cut it. I want to know what did I do that was so severe that it was necessary for VCHA to do this to me. At the beginning I wanted an independent person to wade in and set the matter straight.  I attended a board meeting and the chairman of the board told Mary Rose to do this but of course, she did not.  She decided not to do it and told me that she could arrange that I never see Randy again.  A simple solution was impossible for VCHA to attempt.  It was necessary for VCHA  to declare that I was a NOK and no one would even attempt to help.  NOK is a code to tell everyone that I was Not Okay.   I remember Mary at one time decided to talk to me but she was told not to by risk management. And then they refused to let me see Carolanne Chamberlain.  That is another rant.

I am tired again. When I am feeling this way I cannot care about anything.

11 June 2020 : how the "tribe" works



I keep thinking about Randy and how you treated him.  Talk about police violence, what do you call the violence that you did to us.  And you are still doing it to me.  The authorities hide behind their lawyers and the lawyers hide behind the rules of court rather than doing what they should be doing.    You delegate so often that soon no one remembers the origin.

You determined Randy was incompetent because he won't answer your questions.  And you would not include me in these interrogations.  And Dr. Tham did not even talk to me about Randy and he just decided out of the blue that I should be banned from ever seeing Randy again.  How dare he.  How dare all of you.

All the parties that I named were and are guilty of conspiracy/complicity that resulted in harm to me and of hastening Randy's death. He did not deserve that. You had to design a scenario so that my power of attorney and representation agreement would be nullified. And the lawyer for the PGT won't even warn me what he was doing. But it required that Randy be declared incompetent.  Of course I did not know what you were doing at that time but you did it. Even after you did it I did not know what you did. You were diverting all blame to me by saying that staff at GPC was afraid of me and I had to be banned.  Funny thing is that no staff has made a written statement saying anything like that.  Recently I spoke to an employee from that time and he laughed.  No one was afraid of me. And then you got this "fake" expert give a report saying that I should be banned.  Everyone knows that an expert cannot be an expert unless he talks to all parties.  This expert did not talk to me nor did he talk to Randy. I am so mad at this expert I cannot remember his name.  I am sure that this expert is still working for VCHA regurgitating what he knows VCHA wants to hear. The evidence of this "expert" was used in a RTA application to get me evicted from my rented basement suite because I had the "potential" of maybe hitting someone who they might send to cut the grass. Another time the owner of the property tried to evict me because the unit had mould in it.  Again another "fake" expert report.  This expert did not suggest that the unit could be remediated by removing the mould. 

And don't any of you say that I was a bitch because I am no longer represented by a lawyer.  The lawyer I had said he could not continue as he had an issue that was not associated with the litigation that he had to deal with.  He apologized.  I never had an issue with him I was always so stressed out I could not have an issue with him.  I trused him completely as I had no choice.I feel I have been betrayed by the legal system now that he is gone I am told that I have to defend myself and how am I going to do that in the time the rules will allow.  And that is the weapon the tribe is using. 

So now all of you have to deal with a self-litigant.  Here I was yesterday thanking you for saying that the "tribe" was agreeable to hear the application to dismiss in court without doing telephone conferencing but with the proviso that the court would make that determination.  There is a policy that says for judicial efficiency that this is not going to happen.  What the "tribe" should have done is say to me that they will wait until the courts are open and adjourn their application accordingly. They did not even have to make the application until I was in a position to defend it.  Every single one of the "tribe" should be ashamed of what they are doing.  I told them that I could not do a telephone conference as I was so traumatised by the telephone arbitration I had over my tenancy that I could not speak or remember anything. There was the voice of the arbitrator, a lawyer from Lawson Lundell and three witnesses and me alone. It was worst than being judged in a medieval Star Chamber.  So, the tribe is gambling that I will not show up at the supreme court hearing and the litigation would be at an end. To win by default.  So much for the administration of justice.

June 10 2020 1:12 am


After yesterday I became so fatigued my body fell asleep.  I just woke up soaking wet to the dread of having to deal with VCHA and the PGT and the other defendants who are at a definite advantage.  My teeth hurt and I got a splitting headache.  And my lower back hurts.  All I had to go through these recent months and now the premier lawyers for these government agencies who are their clients are going to silence me.

Lawyers are to suppose to work with a plaintiff and not use every little comma to present to the courts to make the plaintiff look like not smart.  They are on a mission to protect their clients from the truth and misconduct.  You ask that agencies be accountable and all they do is attack you.  Instead of working with me they go directly to the courts in front of judges who may decide that a rule is broken rather than look at the evidence because broken rules are most important.  Lawyers are under a mandate to keep out of court but they create, extend litigation because they can. Going to court is not a chess game but in reality, it is.

A wave of fatigue is coming over me.  It takes me days to get over how these powers behave. Sleep seems to lessen the anger until next time.

She is not listed anywhere. Penny was fired by Gregor when she was City Manager.  Penny became Chairman of VCHA under the radar.  At least we know who Putin is.

Joel doing his job continuing ...

After sending Joel the email earlier today and within hours this is what Joel Morris and his tribe decided to do.  Set down the matter before I can get an expert medical opinion as to whether or not I have PTSD also ask that the decision as proposed by the public guardian and trustee be by telephone conferencing which they know I won't be able to handle.

I have come to the conclusion that lawyers have no respect for the law.  I am sure that woman Penny Ballen the woman who was fired as the city manager of Vancouver because of her arrogance and inflexibililty has insisted on this direction. Penny also worked for a period of time if I remember correctly for BC Housing and she fired from there as well.   For some unknown reason under the radar she managed to become the chairman of the board of VCHA.  Mr. Morris threatened that he was doubling down. Because of her I do not trust anything Dr. Henry is saying about COVID.  All Dr. Henry does is come up with questionable stats. I am 75 years I am in the vulnerable category to get COVID therefore this case can wait. Considering the mess at George Pearson Centre Ms Ballen must think to be rid of me during COVID and I will be forgotten as all media is addressing COVID rather than any other part of VCHA.  All the elders who died in nursing homes in the Vancouver area were under VCHA.  Ballen tells the PGT what to do and she also tells the government what to do. Politicians are like most people, they are confused and they want to be told what to do.

I tried to send this to BCcourts.ca as per your email address and it did not go through so you send it to the courts. 

Re this.  Please be advised that I cannot agree to any of these suggested dates because of the COVID-19 lockdown.  And above all I refuse to agree to any process that will involve telecommunications.  I have a right to be in a court room when this most important case will be decided. The defendants are trying to have this action dismissed by using the rules when they know in fact that I have a valid case that has to be decided because of the public interest component. Videoconferencing is very intimidating and I will not be able to deal with such a procedure, even the thought of it has been shaking. . I am not well today and I will send you a further email to you tomorrow.  This action is not a criminal matter and there is no reason for it not to wait until it is safe for me to attend in person in a courtroom.

Joel Morris doing his job...

VCHA and PGT et al

I searched my email and could not find your email of  May 22 2020  I thought it was agreed that if you did not hear from me when you sent an email you would contact me. Waiting 20 days is a bit long and from your email you have assumed that I read the May 22 2020 letter.

These past months my health has declined.  I am exhausted all the time and am  mostly self-isolating myself because I am 75 years old and I am in the vulnerable category.   I told you in January that Dr. XXX said he never saw me so bad that the stress would kill me. You put someone in a cage they will eventually die.

I also had to deal with my tenancy which only added to my stress.  The last eviction notice contained the evidence of VCHA that said I was violent and that was justification that I be evicted from my home. Apparently, although I live on the property alone, Wall Financial is afraid to send someone here to cut the grass and that is enough to get me evicted.  Evidence of double hearsay presented by VCHA convinced an overzealousness and inexperienced lawyer to start RTA applications against me. There times within six months they demanded that I be evicted.  Learning about the tenancy act when I was ill was very time consuming and difficult.  All it did was make my flashbacks worse as the evidence alleged was what happened six years ago. Employees of VCHA are very good at presenting evidence that VCHA expects to discredit someone.  And Lawson Lundell was good at bringing up additional false evidence that caused me distress. However, Lawson Lundell did not comment on the fact that their client's employees were using a choke hold on a trespasser and the trespasser was trying to scream that he could not breathe. I called the police.  I interferred with the owner's prorative to control what goes on his property and I had to be evicted. I was treated as though I was an employee rather than a paying tenant or a citizen witnessing violence.

I also asked you to refer me to a doctor for an assessment re my PTSD and you have refused to do so.  You know it is near impossible to get a PTSD assessment except by lawyers who have them on their referral list.  To me you refusing is subverting justice. You must know even your own expert would find that I suffer from the stress your clients put me under. You know you must not hide evidence from the courts.  And you also know that during COVID-19 no assessor will do an assessment by telecommunication.

And by chance I read the newspaper reports about what is happening at George Pearson Centre this past week and that further triggered my flashbacks. Nothing has changed at GPC.  It isn't the group of druggies running around intimidating patients, it is GPC allowing them to do so.  This group-type was there ten years ago. They allow druggies to do this to mask the abuse that GPC does to individual patients and their families.  Do you really think anyone will complain to risk management when GPC allows druggies to APPEAR to run the hospital.  Complaints will get you nowhere except to come fearful and compliant. 

And I still do not know if Carolanne is alive or dead.  Why won't anyone tell me.  I was told by Mr. Bell that the health authority would not allow him to tell me. And Mr. Bell always does what he is told. How can such a determination be confidential. No freedom of information.

You and the other lawyers are trying to have the action dismissed on technicalities which the court of public opinion would find offensive and only bring refute to the legal profession and all the defendants.  You have not played fair.  You can hide behind the rules of court as to process but it will not absolve you.  My case is about abuse created by VCHA and who also directed the PGT to cancel my power of attorney and representation agreement so I could not advocate or see my husband while he was dying.  Your client did nothing except to agree with VCHA which is against everything a physician is supposed to do as he is to protect his patient and not do what risk management wants.  The words I remember from your client that it was not his decision to put a dangerous DNR on my husband and that night if my husband was not resuscitated by a retired RT he would have died.  The only one who can put a DNR on a patient is his physician.  A patient does not have to consent.

Please forward this to your tribe.
