This past week I spoke with two persons who like me had troubles with the health authorities a decade ago. Each of us experienced trauma because Vancouver Health Authority would not share information with us.  If the health authority thinks you are discrediting them, there is no help. Not from the media, not from physicians, not from advocacy organizations, nothing.  A reporter told they would not run my story as I would be harmed. If you have no money for lawyers, then they will show you the door.  And if you have money, they take your money until you have none and then show you the door.  Resources are limited and the law deters to the health authorities. Think a trusted person would never molest a child.  At the end you only have regret and silent anger. The pattern of their behavior is so obvious, like they are following a flow chart.  When my litigation was dismissed because my lawyer did not follow the rules, and I could not represent myself; the lawyers for VCH et al, all rejoiced in the courtroom leaving me bewildered. And the judge did not condemn them for their mal behavior.But then in her hurried departure, maybe she did not notice. Neither did she entertain my plea for an adjournment. Granting an adjournment would not have been necessary if the litigators for the health authority et al would have consented.  Why would VCHA want the litigation dismissed. You would think they would welcome transparency and an open forum. 

  

Are the Defendants Litigators (Respondents) bullying me.

A friend sent me a link this afternoon from HuffPost, Canada is Corrupt when it comes to Choosing Judges. It is a popularity contest.

One of the links connected me to a report by Christie Blatchford: BC Man Pleads for Family Court Reform in Suicide Note.

The victim only wanted to see his kids and I only wanted to see my husband. The motivation is the same.

Another link said Canadian Lawyers Drive Dads to Bankruptcy and Suicide by Bullying.  

Is this the intent of the lawyers who see themselves as Joseph Croias bullying witnesses without conscience and this disagreeable lawyer became president of the Ontario Law Society. My case is not of a white collar crime over greed in the billions of dollars it is over the untimely death of my husband and the collateral outfall.

So far the defendants have discredited me and demoralized me. I am a basket case. Look what I am doing today:  It is December 25 2020. 

I won't commit suicide as I have a very good therapist.  A therapist that costs me $225 an hour.  I have no additional medical insurance provided by an employe rso he alone is costing me money I cannot afford.  To get access to a MSP psychiatrist, it takes six months to a year to exercise a referral, and then there is no guarantee that he will take you as a patient. Most psychiatrists will not write a medical legal report because they are under no obligation to do so.  It is a lot of work and they do not want to be a witness in court. My psychologist could not do a medical legal report as he was biased. 

Lawyers do not seek the truth; they only seek to demoralize, so you give up.  And the Groias like Joel Morris are clever at it.  

One of the links said that such lawyers should be shamed.  So be it:

• David Bell, Partner at Guild Yule, lawyer for VCHA
• Joel Morris, Partner at Harper Grey, lawyer for Dr. James Dunne
  
• Murray Wolf, lawyer for the Public Guardian and Trustee 
• Cameron Wong, Webster Hudson, lawyer for David Doig, lawyer, 

None of the defendant pay for lawyers.legal costs.  They are all insured by the public purse one way or other  And the public cannot find out how much money the lawyers are creaming as it is under solicitor-client privilege. The tax payer should have the right to know.   And the the lawyers do not loose any sleep over anything as they are but agents of the government and are assured payment of their fees monthly. They are much like civil servants and nothing can happen to them.

 In August of this year, I tried to negotiate with the Groias to settle the matter.  They refused. No comment. And they would not give me a name of an expert legal medical report which they have on their rolex.  They knew I was suffereing from PTSD and since a medical expert legal person has to be independent they were not going to allow such evidence to be entered in the court record..  All of them  were guilty of perverting justice as they had to provide all evidence to the court whether it be in their clients' favour or in mine  When the action started in the hearing the master (a judge) suggested that the defendants offer an apology.  No apology came.  Their path was to drive me insane as no one would believe me and no lawyer would take on my case.

 

 

 

 

duping delight ... gaslighting

I came across what "duping delight" means.(from post Nov 11, 2019) It is what happened to me at the hands of the VCHA.  From social workers, administrators, nurses and a physician when they asserted that I had no legal rights regarding my husband.

Duping delight is what happens when a person in a position of power looks down on you and displays a half-smile (or a quarter-smile).  When this would happen to me I was taken aback as I believed this was not true. How could I not have any rights when it concerned my husband.  And after all these years I found out that they were correct.

VCHA could have you banned and your power of attorney and representation agreement revoked based on collateral (snowflake) gossip without even telling you aforehand.  The PGT is supposed to be independent but it does what VCHA tells it.

I was talking to a resident from George Pearson Centre recently and was told that no one complains as they will be punished.  The only problem with that reasoning is that if patients are compliant then it is easier to kill them.

And now I have been told (November 8, 2019) that I have to pay advanced costs in the amount of $16,000 by December 31 2019 to VCHA/PGT or my application/case (pstd appeal) against the health authority and the PGT or else the appeal cannot go forward. So what is the point. You do the right thing and you are blocked by lack of money.   I fear that I will never get a court decision.

I also would like you to listen to minutes 2 to 10 on YouTube which will tell you that DNRs could hasten your death. What Does that DNR Really Mean? Dr. F. Mararchi.  Posted June 29 2019.
..........
DNRs are dangerous for patients with pneumonia, trauma, strokes, vascular problems and other treatable conditions, according to studies in the Archives of Internal Medicine and Critical Care Medicine. An analysis of California hospitals published found that patients had higher death rates in hospitals that encourage DNRs.  My take is that if a patient does not agree to a DNR then the health authority coerce patients to agree to a DNR.  VCHA never tells a patient why a DNR is dangerous.

On 18 November 2013 I was with my husband who was begging me to save his life.  Dr. Dunn was ordered by VGH to put a DNR on my husband and no health professional at GPC would give him any oxygen so he could live. Only later I learned that DNRs can be put on patients without the patient's consent. That is why the College did not do anything to Dr. Dunne when I reported him.  The College did not explain to me that this was policy. If the public knew there whould be outrage.

February 13/2020
And it is getting got worse.  I withdrew the ptsd cost appeal as I was told there would be no costs if I did and now the defendants have applied for costs. The lawyers are David Doig, Cameron Wong, Joel Morris, David Bell, Murray Wolf. They did not have to do this.  From the beginning of the action, they did everything to demoralize me rather than to seek out the truth.

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.

Joel Morris, partner Harper Grey

Joel Morris, LLB, told a justice of the Supreme Court of British Columbia that I did not respect the law. This is not true.

It is up to the supreme court justice to make such a determination. Not Joel.

Joel's job is not to defame me.  His job is to present the facts.

Joel sees himself as a great litigator.  His hero is Joseph Groia.  He horns his skill by attacking a 75 year old woman in bereavement because his client attempted to hasten the death of her husband.  All his client has to do is admit that VCHA forced him to put a premature DNACPR/DNT/CCO on my husband. My husband was 56 years old.

Joel Morris

I was accused by Joel Morris, law partner of Farris and Company, that I had no respect for the law.  I have a great deal of respect for the law otherwise I would not be suing his client.  His client is being reimbursed for his legal fees by the CMPA. And the Province reimburses his client's CMPA's membership fee.  So Joel's client pays nothing.  All his client does is sign affidavits which Joel writes.

Like I said to your client many times for him to tell the truth and say he was forced by Vancouver Coastal Health to put DNACPR, DNT and CCO Orders  ("DNR") on my husband in an attempt to hasten my husband's death.  He also followed the instructions of VCH to have him declared incapable. Why would your client want to declare my husband incompetent when he was dying.

Although I had a representation agreement for health care for my husband, your client and VCHA ignored it.  And VCHA made an Order approved by your client that I could not see my husband  while he was dying.  His death was not unexpected. Doctors know when a patient will die.

It is you and Farris and Company (from where many judges have been appointed) are using legal technicalities to have my case dismissed.

You are playing by the rules but this is not a chess game.  No one wins.  My husband is dead and I am suffering from PTSD which may never go away.

And VCH keeps puting DNRs on patients justifying that they are going to die anyways.  No issue here unless the patient wants to live for a few more days, weeks, months or years...or a few more hours.

My computer has gone wonky, the date of this post is March 30, 2019

Consider the case of Ben Mattlin, who suffers from spinal muscular atrophy. In a 2012 column for the New York Times, he wrote of the “thin and porous border between coercion and free choice” for those who feel devalued. On the subtle erosion of his autonomy, he wrote: “You also can’t truly conceive of the many subtle forces (to die) — invariably well meaning, kindhearted, even gentle, yet as persuasive as a tsunami — that emerge when your physical autonomy is hopelessly compromised.”
