December 9 2020 Response to the demands for costs...

December 9, 2020, @4:10 am

After reading the emails from the defendant litigators yesteday demanding that I pay legal costs immediately I did what a PTSD victim does: avoidance, I went to sleep.  Shoot the messenger they did.  They did not have to use the word "immediately." I am beyond rage, I am numb.

I ask that they do not garnishee my old age pension cheque as that is the only income I have. And besides paying my rent, I need money to pay for a psychologist. 

The clients the defendant litigators act for are the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority (Dr. Peny Ballem, Adrian Dix), the Public Guardian and Trustee (Catherine Romanko, David Eby), lawyer David Doig, and Dr. James Dunne. 

 They are the ones who told the defendant litigators to demand IMMEDIATE payment

Not one day off

On February 20 2020 I was in court on an application that failed.  The very next day Joel is demanding more.  I feel I am being made ready for the kill.  The CMPA wants to protect the reputation of the medical profession and to do so has to do everything to make sure that I do not continue with the case.  I can only do so much with my limited resources and suffering from PTSD only makes any situation worse. 

Unpleasant experience

On Thursday February 20 2010 I had an unpleasant experience at court.  I can't understand why Dr. James Dunne can't just say that he was forced by Vancouver Coastal Health Authority to put a DNR Order on my husband. He is of retirement age so nothing can happen to him. And when I asked Dr. Dunne in front of a witness to take the Order off, he refused.  He said it was not his decision to make.  Physicians are independent and not subject to do what the health authority thinks best for its bottom line. 

Why is it so difficult for him to tell the truth.

A terrible mistake

I made a terrible mistake.  I decided that since VCHA would not allow me to see Carolanne, a resident-patient at George Pearson Centre, that I would go by way of a  petition :  a court action.  Wrong move. I did not count on VCHA getting to Carolanne who said she did not want to see me.  They convinced Carolanne that I would get into trouble if I tried to see her. I could not barge in to see her again as she was put under heavy supervision. And I am afraid of violence from Paladin Security.  I told the lawyers for VCHA that their client was forcing Carolanne to say she did not want to see me because I would get into trouble ... and they did nothing.  I did ask Carolanne if she told Dr. Hay, her primary physician appointed by the state (VCHA) if Dr. Hay asked her if she wanted to see me and she said that she told him yes.  Dr. Hay did not do anything either for me to access Carolanne and neither did he attempt to contact me although I emailed him on more than one occasion asking to see Carolanne and her wanting to see me. In furtherance, the good Dr. Hay avoided service of the action I commenced for Randy as he too was Randy's physician appointed by the state.  For a year he did this. Do you have any idea how much a document processing company charges for attempting service.  Dr. Hay owes Randy $big time.  He is a professional, and he hides from a court process. He should be criminally charged with obstruction.  He knew what was wanting to being served on him as I sent him copies by email, left voice mails, faxed him, mailed the documents by post, and personally delivering them to his office.  I even made sure his lawyer knew about the document. The College of Physician and Surgeons should charge him with unprofessional conduct.  Carolanne is a quad whose family abandoned her decades ago.  She had a boyfriend Vince, but he died a few years ago from a heart attack.  The only contact she has with the real world is me. She now has a trach and cannot talk, nor can she write. She haunts me adding to my persistent complex bereavement.

The defendants who are saying that I am well are Dr. Mark Roberts and Dr. James Dunn.  And Dr. Georgia Nemetz, a respected psychologist: a graduate from York House School. None of them have examined me, but they just know. This must be defamation.  I am "not-well" so why are they telling the Supreme Court of British Columbia that I am well. But then they might not know how to search the internet to read what persistent complex bereavement is.

As for the Public Guardian and Trustee, she says that she acted in good faith, I say she abused her power.  Telling me that the enduring power of attorney I had for my husband had to be revoked because I MIGHT mismanage my husband's money is insulting and ridiculous.  This decision was made when my husband was within 9 days of him dying. They knew he was imminent and they did this anyways. Catherine Romaniuk is the Public Guardian and Trustee.  There is a report written by the Ombudsperson called No Longer Your Decision. The Report was critical of both VCHA and the PGT.  The investigation of me was done by a twenty-nine-year-old PGT employee who is most likely still living with his parents.  I know of no other reason for his immaturity i.e. stupidity.  The PGT does what VCHA instructs them what to do.  Whatever VCHA Risk Management wants, Risk Management gets.  Have gun, will travel. And the PGT cannot come up with new evidence as they already declared what evidence they have.  Even after Randy died the PGT was questioning the validity of his will which was made a decade earlier. As if I forged the Will.  They mentioned the possibility of administering the will which would mean that they can revoke a Will as easily as they could revoke a power of attorney..  Administering a will is only done when there is no will.

Randy Michael Walker and the College

I keep thinking about Randy and why he had to die when he did.  Why VCH decided that his death should be hastened because it was in Randy's best interest. Randy should have died on November 18 2013; the near death incident could have been prevented if Dr. Dunne would have removed the  DNR Order a few hours before when I asked him to. Randy never agreed to a DNR.  I told staff that this was not what Randy wanted and for them to ignore the November 15, 2013 DNR.  The night nurse made a terrible mistake.  He knew Randy was dying and instead of waiting until he died he phoned me and I rushed to George Pearson Centre.  When Randy saw me he was reaching out for me to save his life.  Since he had a purported DNR/DNT on him, the staff refused to do anything.  I phoned 911.  Chaos.


Because of my intervention I was able to save Randy's life. Mostly he needed a vent assist.  As soon as Randy was stabilized I contacted the police as I believed that Dr. Dunne by putting on a DNR Order was somehow criminally culpable (attempted homicide) and notified the BC College of Physicians and Surgeons.  VGH Emergency and the ambulance people knew of what happened as well as the police as 911 attended.


Considering the seriousness of my allegation and the seemingly apparent culpability of Dr. Dunne, the College should have immediately suspended Dr. Dunne pending an investigation. Yes, the College has the power to suspend a doctor in the public interest. I also asked that Dr. Dunne be replaced as Randy's doctor and this request was refused. Dr. Dunne should have reclused himself.  The only reason that I even knew of the DNR/DNT was that I asked a nurse on November 15 2013, what Randy's status was, and I was showed the DNR/DNT Order signed by Dr. Dunne. On 14 November 2013 Randy was in VGH and his status was Full Code, Level IV. Randy was 57. He had no disease nor was he in pain.


After that, VCH went on a further sojourn to discredit and demoralize me claiming that I did not have Randy's best interest and I was incapable to be Randy's substitute decision maker.   VCH took this to the Public Guardian and Trustee and VCH stripped me and Randy of all his rights.  What was Randy's best interest.  Was it that his death be hastened.


After Randy died I wasn't able to access any of Randy's things as Randy was now the property of the Public Guardian and Trustee. He had become a non-person.  I wanted to place one of Randy's Steeler's baseball caps in his coffin as he wore a cap even when he was sleeping. The manager at GPC refused to give me one of his hats.  Randy was dead and GPC were still being bullies.


The College of Physicians and Surgeons' Decision said that Randy was among things too sick as he had a temperature of 39.9 rendering him incapable of making any medical decisions.  The Certificate of  Incapability was made (rubbered stamped on the recommendation of the PGT) by VCH who issued the CI on April 4 2014; the day Randy should have died was 18 November 2013; the day I was banned from ever seeing Randy again was January 29 2014 (with the help of the Public Guardian and Trustee).  I was never told that I was being investigated or that Randy was.


Because of my correspondence to the PGT, I thought the PGT was investigating George Pearson Centre and its treatment of patients there. One of my concerns was when I spoke to GPC patients there, they did not seem to know what a DNR was or whether or not a DNR/DNT was on them.


The PGT complaint against me was mostly based on collateral evidence (parallel gossip). All my supposed legal rights to Randy were taken away from me by the Public Guardian and Trustee on April 4, 2014 ( but in reality it was January 29 2013 as VCH 100% banned me from seeing Randy) the day I was to access his medical records so I could find out what was going on and such records were denied me by the PGT.


I really do not know what Randy died from. Maybe his death could have been prevented at that time. Months later the coroner changed the alledged cause of death from multiple organ failure to say Randy died from his accident, an accident that happened in 2010. What a stretch. He was readmitted to VGH on 4 April 2014 (my mother's birthdate). The day Randy died was 13 April 2014.


I was acting in Randy's best interest for him to live and have a quality of life and VCH et al did everything possible to discredit and demoralize me (and Randy) while saying that I was not good for Randy and I should never see him again. This questioning of my goodness happened in January 2014; prior to that I was good.  How scared Randy was. He couldn't talk or write so he could not ask questions or defend me. How horrible for Randy knowing that VCH was trying to hasten his death and and how horrific it was for me knowing I could not save him.  My bereavement will never end.


Randy was only 53 years old when he had his accident, he had a traumatic brain injury in 2010, he had no disease, he was not in pain. Randy had a trach so he could not talk. So why did VCH want to hasten his death and ban me from ever seeing him again.


A DNT Order is a Do Not Transfer Order so if a patient is in medical distress the patient would not go to acute care (VGH) for treatment. As far as I am concerned it is a death sentence.  The DNT was a guarantee that the nurses would not even attempt to overrule as it was a Doctor's Order and they were instructed not to call 911 or even phone the doctor-on-call if Randy was in acute medical distress.

P.S.  There is a medical-legal battle going on in Texas over a law that Texas has in which it can without explanation put a DNR on a competent conscious patient and disconnect life support against his wishes.  And the hospital is now making application to take away his mother's substitute decision making power.  I suspect such powers are also replicated somewhat here in Canada (BC) sub rosa (under the rose, secrecy) or worse yet in open sight.

On my way home from demonstrating last Wednesday, an older Asian gentleman wanted to know as he could read part of my sign, what euthanasia meant.  Since his English wasn't very good, I explained that it means that if you are sick you can ask a doctor to kill you.  His immediate retort was: he won't ask a doctor to kill  him, he would just jump off a building.  I then explained that jumping off a building might be painful and euthanasia would guarantee that he would have a sure, safe and painless death. We were then at KingEdward and he had to exit the Canada Line.

I was just listening to CNN and it talking about Joe Biden and his decision as to whether or not he will run for president.  It seems it is okay for Mr. Biden to be emotionally shattered by his son's death but when I asked for an appeal for time to the decision that Randy's doctor was absolved from putting an illegal  DNR on Randy, I could not be emotionally upset. According to the Health Professions Appeal Board that wasn't a good enough reason why I missed the appeal date. In addition, I did not even get the decision from the College of Physicians and Surgeons until after the 30-day to appeal period and that was my problem as well. The College did not object to my appeal; it was Harper Gray, the dark solicitors for the doctor.

the Vancouver Province and Elaine Peaston v. BC College of Physicians and Surgeons

I tried to find out more about Elaine Peaston vs BC College of Physicians and Surgeons (see post August 29 2015) and I searched the Province newspaper for her name.  Quess what.  I could not find it in the Province search function.  It is gone like it never was there.  It reminded me of wanting to find out what happened to Mary Turner in 2013.  I put an ad in the Prince George paper and it was to be on-line.  I could not find it.   VCH knew I wanted to know what happened to Mary and now Elaines litigation is not on its database.  When I checked the court registry on Randys case to find Dr. Dunnes Affidavit and the Affidavit of Kip Woodwards secretary, both were missing.  Is this called damage control. Well, I can only speculate that the medical establishment seems to have tremendous power with the courts and the press.

I feel vomitoid.

PS Sept 2 2015, I found the Province article on a post. Elaines segment had  5,322,247 page views. So much for damage control. I hope she is aware of what happened was read by millions.  Why cannot doctors tell the truth and then there would be no need for risk management departments to hide the truth (evidence). To think the College of Physicians and Surgeons might have gone that far to protect itself.  But then it might have been Elaine who did not want it in the newspapers.  I do not know. 


What tangled webs we weave when we set out to deceive.

How many of you are aware of what is happening to Planned Parenthood in the United States.  It is going to be the end of Hillary Clinton.  Planned Parenthood is a non-profit but it gets half of its yearly $billion budget from the US government to do abortions.  It also sells aborted baby parts (see videos).  I can not find any information on this aspect of Planned Parenthood in the Canadian media but it is on the internet and LifeNews is a good source.The President of Planned Parenthood and her high level executives who are not even doctors make more money than the President of the United States.

The Canadian Bill 51.

I went to a talk yesterday about the passing of the Canadian Bill 51 (oka the secret police bill) by the BCCLA.  From what I understood because Bill 51 is an investigative law (not a criminal law), it does not have to share information over those that they are spying on.  If I am correct then the BC College of Physicians and Surgeons must have the same power.  When I complained to the College about Dr. James Dunne putting an unauthorized DNR on Randy, they refused to send me a copy of Dr. Dunne's response to my allegation.  How was I to rebut anything Dunne said or even appeal the eventual decision that Dr. Dunne did no wrong if I wasn't aware of what Dunne's position was. Bill 51 is over privacy; it isn't over deeming who should live or die.

Any comments phone me 604-321-2276 or email at audreyjlaferriere@gmail.com

The Decision of the College of Physicians and Surgeons

When I posted that the College said that Dr. Dunne did no wrong re the illegal DNR Order of November 2013, the pertinent wording was:

"Because of the confidential health information of Mr. Walker formed the basis for the Committee's discussion, we are not able to disclose details of the Committee's decision. We are able to advise you that the Committee was not critical of the medical care Dr. Dunne provided to Mr. Walker.  However, the Committee was critical of Dr. Dunne's medical documentation.  This matter is considered concluded."

TED

Up until this weekend I never heard about TED and its conference being held at the mostly public funded Vancouver Convention Centre. As part of my walking information protest I was on the plaza outside of TED and I was told by TED that it did not allow protests on the plaza which I understood was open to the public without restrictions. TED was sold out and there was more security than at the White House. The cost of attending TED was $8,500 US and there were 13,000 delegates. From BC Business it says that a thinker would be Monica Lewinsky along with more than 70 other thinkers. Who are these people: an elitist group. My sign was on my personal grocery cart accompanied by Randy's doggy, Owen, which sign said ""The BC College of Physicians says it is okay to place DNRs on patients without consent. The secret courts of the College have to go." It wasn't a big sign. In November 2013 I placed a complaint against the college and it closed its file in December 2014 without an adequate explanation to me as to why Dr. Dunn put a DNR on my best friend and husband, Randy Michael Walker. The reasoning was confidential. I was told that Dr. Dunn did no wrong. TED of all organizations has decried free speech. I was approximately 500 feet from the convention centre entrance when approached by security on what should be public property. The theme of the conference is "Truth and Dare."

The day after Randy's fifth's month anniversary of his death

I survived yesterday quite well.  I was surprised.  I did not cry once.  However, I did have flashbacks.

When I first was banned from seeing Randy in 2011 I asked one of the nurses if she would wheel Randy in his wheelchair to the common visitor's room so he could look out and see me on the sidewalk.  This she did.  They left him there alone.  He did not know what was happening.  He could see me.  He was gnarling at the large windows trying to get to me.  It was heart breaking.  I never asked for the staff to do this again. Now I am crying.

I still have to finish deconstructing Calder's report.  What Vancouver Coastal Health has done to discredit me is so bizarre it has to be believable.  I asked this past week for the report of  Dr. Georgia Nemetz, a psychologist in private practice who had been brought in by VCHA to conduct debriefings with GPC employees following the October 21, 2013, incident: the incident in which I was attacked by staff and security at GPC when I attempted to remove Randy from GPC.I acted in self-defence. When I receive it I will deconstruct it as well.

In Calder's Affidavit paragraph 19 he states that if I continue to have any access to GPC that there is a significant risk that staff at GPC, including Dr. Jame Dunne, who is crucial to the operation of GPC's respiratory ward, will quit or refuse to work on the respiratory ward at GPC.  Where in hell did he get that from.  Yes, Dr. Dunne do us a favour and quit. Just to reiterate in three years I spoke to Dunne a total of three times: totalling twenty minutes. I sent him numerous emails and he never replied to one of them.  As far as I am concerned this respected member of the medical establishment is a cry baby and don't get me going about Dr. John Fleetham, a bigger cry baby than Dr. Dunne..

In paragraph 20, Calder says that VCH has done all that it can to accommodate me in my requests to access Mr. Walker.  VCH is under significant pressure from other residents of GPC, families of those residents, staff at GPC, and WORKSAFE BC to protect the safety of all parties involved.  What residents, what families, what staff and I was told by Worksafe BC that they would never ask for the banning of anyone. And how did VCH accommodate me. They abused their powers and flaunted the law, no broke the law.. And now my Randy is dead, him being robbed of the time we could have been together.

What is wrong with Calder's and Nemetz's reports is I speculate that they were never made aware of the fact that Randy was not a prisoner at GPC and I only acted in self-defence.  Neither of them talked to me or saw the police report. I did not hit a police officer which Calder alledges. How could I intimidate staff at GPC when the staff are the experts in how to intimidate. What about the bruising I received on October 22, 2013 to which I have a witness. 

The best one is in paragraph 21 where Calder says that my behavior increases the risk of injury to herself.  Does that mean that staff is going to physically attack me again.  How can Clark, Wilson, VCH's lawyers allow such garbage to be entered as evidence against me wanting to see Randy.  But then lawyers do exactly what their clients tell them.

The deconstruction will continue...next post...

August 22 2014

I checked with the court registry this afternoon to see if the two missing affidavits had appeared.  No.

I do not know what was in the affidavits that was so important.  Maybe it had something to do with not telling the truth.

In any event, I came across an email of one of the supposed "offending emails" I sent to Dr. James Dunne with cc to Dr. John Fleetham. One of the emails that caused Dr. Fleetham to abandon Randy as he could not provide Randy with objective care and one over which Dr. Dunne threatened to resign.

I did not receive a reply to this email.It took Dunne and Fleetham ten months to make mention of it or the one dated May 16, 2013.

Audrey Laferriere @gmail.com	6/19/13
to james.dunne, john.fleetham, frank.ryan

Further to my email to you dated May 16, 2013, to which you have not
replied to.  Please do.  

I also want to know why you are refusing to give Randy an oxygen tank
 for use when he is off site.  Someone telling me that he doesn't fit the 
criteria for home funding does not ring true or Ro telling me that an 
oxygen tank might explode the likelihood so remote that such a statement
is rendered ridiculous. Note:  I was given a second opinion saying that if Randy
was off site and was having difficulty the only thing that would save him would
be oxygen. I offered to pay for the oxygen.

Just like Randy cannot have a passey muir valve so he can speak
because there is no funding to monitor him.  I read the passey muir
web site and it says a passey muir valve helps swallowing so how can
you say that he can't swallow therefore he can't have a passey muir
valve. Randy can swallow, how else can he be rid of his mouth saliva.
I do not believe that you or you staff understands fully what a passey muir
is.

Your rationalization that suctioning only be as needed is based
when a patient is in intensive care and there is one-to-one nursing
and not in a ward with closed curtains and one nurse overseeing ten
patients as she walks down the middle of the ward each fifteen
minutes (????). NOTE: At times you can't even find a nurse on the ward.
They have no schedule they just walk by whenever whenever that is.

Even telling me that Randy can't have the curtains open in
the ward puts him at risk as staff cannot see him.  

I want Randy safe and it seems that you are doing everything possible
to make sure he is not safe.
