Randy dying
I keep remembering how Randy died. The person I blame is Ro Ang. She was a nurse with a masters degree and the manager of GPC. And with all her responsibilities she was able to get to know Randy intimately and she knew that Randy wanted his death hastened. Not true, she did not known him and Randy did not know her. She knew Randy was dying as did everyone else said and yet she decided that it would be in the best interest of Randy to hasten his death with all their cooperation and it would be in the best interest of Randy to exclude me from his life as he died. Everyone was on board with hastening his death including the LPNs (lowest paid nurses). All strangers.No pro life people there. Randy could not talk or write so how was his wishes communicated.
I have vivid visions of Ro being arrested by the police at George Pearson Center. Handcuffed and paraded in front of the 100 patients there and reporters taking pictures.
Ro even prevented me from seeing Carolanne although I got a court order. What a dysfunctional she was, and is.
One lawyer I went to said VCHA and the PGT would not have done this unless it was true. Trying to convince her otherwise was impossible. I think I will mention her name in my next post. A lawyer to avoid.
And what were they deciding at the very end i.e. a few days before Randy died that I would be able to see him if Randy paid for a security guard. It would be by way of a court order. I would have restrictions as to hours and not being able to talk to anyone or assist Randy in anyway.
What a compromise. What a humiliation. What an insult. And I would be judged by my tone of voice and be banished from any contact.
And as he lay dying within his last hour, I was not allowed to comfort him. He would not have known if I was trying to comfort him or not as he was unconsious. I was told by a ICU doctor that Randy could have lived longer if he was put on a ventilator. Randy suffered needlessly. He was always afraid.
I was told that it was all because of my blog. It was my fault how Randy died. Lawyer Don Morrison told me this.
Not one of them acted with any compassiosn. VCHA and PGT are dangerous entities. And the media who would not help is also dangerous.

Remember then 4 April 2014
I just had a friend of mine visit and he reminded me of an incident (4 April 2014) he witnessed (he said it was cruel) wherein a charge ER nurse in VGH as soon as she found out who I was (while I was standing at Randy's bedside) immediately became angry and agitated. Her immediate response was to call security and have me evicted. My friend told this nurse that this behavior was cruel and unusual as security pulled me fromRandy's bedside.
The only way the ER charge nurse could have been alerted that I was in Emerg was by a telephone call from Ro Ang, the manageress of George Pearson Centre. He was dying and Ro did this. What harm could I have done.
I was 70 years old at the time, weighing 100 pounds, and I was no physical threat to anyone. I was treated by the ER staff as a piece of unwanted junk. He died nine days later.
I sat on the sidewalk outside for hours until I was told that Randy was stable.
Who started this hate of me. I want to know.
It should be noted however that Randy and I were married and I was standing at his bedside holding his hand. Not interfering with anyone. He was simply lying in a berth in the ER waiting for a doctor to see him. He did not look well, he had an infection, necessitating antibiotics, and needed intensive care.
Since I was banned I did not know if he was properly attended to. But I remember the cruelty.
Randy was only 57 and could not defend me as he could not talk because he was trached.
-------------------
I was talking to a new friend and I mentioned the 30 November 2017 court appearance I was at. It was I thought a simple application. But then nothing is simple... I mentioned to her that the application involved only me (no other cases) but a security guard was standing ten feet away from me during the session. I remember asking him why was he there. He did not answer. My new found friend was dismayed that they would do this. I conclude now this is a way to get a judge to bias his opinion as I must be a crazy or else VCHA would not have asked for a security guard to be there. VCHA would do anything to infer to a court that something was amiss. What an insult to me and to the court.
It is the same thing VCHA does with their oral submissions. Instead of keeping to the facts they bring up items that are irrelevant but can negatively influence a judge. Like the time VCHA said that it did not know if I was married to my husband or not. As if being married to him or not made a difference. It does make a difference if a judge is from the old school where being married meant that a spouse had some legal rights and a concubine had none.
Recently a non-represented litigant over a ten year period had numerous lawyers and sure enough this fact was repeated over and over again to discredit him with each court appearance. There are reasons for lawyer changing; from illness, to retirement, to getting pregnant. Lawyers may be only hired for only one aspect of a case.
These actions are not worthy of any respect. I would call it litigation misconduct but the lawyers do it all the time and no one does anything about it.
I was no threat to anyone in the courtroom. It was intimidation. No wonder I am suffering from post traumatic stress. When a lawyer arranges such a negative connotation the judge seems to cuts off any further discussion that a self-represented plaintiff might make as the judge decides it would only be ramblings and a waste of time.
Although I am aware of what they are trying to do, it does not diminish the fear that they are getting away with such behavior and what more harm will happen to me because of their conduct. You can only live in fear for so long. I was bullied by VCHA from 2010 the date Randy was sent to George Pearson Centre and now even within the courthouse. Will it ever stop. The gossip, the innuendo, the false facts. The banishment, the alienation. The sordidness of it all. Why.

a Steeler's hat
For some reason I am again obsessing about when I wanted to get a Steeler's hat from Ro so I could bury it with Randy. She said that his possessions did not belong to me (his wife and best friend); they belonged to the public guardian and trustee. I cannot understand how she is still the manager of George Pearson Centre. This was ridiculous. She could not understand that after Randy died all his possessions belonged to me.
The purpose of getting the public guardian and trustee was to deny me access to Randy. Once the public guardian and trustee becomes committee that means the public guardian and trustee controls every aspect of a patient's life including visitors. GPC management was spiteful. They knew exactly what they were doing.
This after she convinced the public guardian and trustee to take away my legal rights to Randy by getting the PGT to revoke my power of attorney. I do no know what she said to the PGT but she told me that she had reported me to what end I did not know at that time. I remember saying to her that she had nothing on me except me sending out emails to which rarely I got a reply. She asked me about finances and my personal life. I told her it was none of her business. She assured me it was. I did not know her job was to be a spy. I thought everything in a hospital was suppose to be confidential. I subsequently read that 80% of all referrals to the PGT come from hospitals. So do not try to be friendly with any health provider as they will report you. They will never report each other for criminal or unethical behaviors, but they report patients and visitors.
I also remember before the public guardian and trustee got involved, she told me to take home most of Randy's belongings. This was in December She said it cluttered up his space. It was cluttered for three years and all or a sudden she wanted neat. This was in December 2013 days before I had to face another Do Not Remove. She knew that Randy was close to death and she wanted his stuff out of GPC to make her job easier when he died. Randy became acutely sick on December 26, 2013 and I had to fight with GPC that he had to go back to acute care. I now realize that GPC put Randy under a slow code which is illegal. Again Randy was so fragile if he did not go to acute he would have died. We were told that there was a Do Not Remove Order on Randy so that he could not leave George Pearson Centre and also the doctor instructed staff not to phone him. Vancouver General Hospital kept him for three to four weeks and then they sent him back to George Pearson Centre against our wishes.
The health authorities for years kept sending Randy back to GPC, a place where he was not safe.
Randy was not convicted of a crime so that the state can send a criminal to where they want. Randy had an accident and he needed a place where he would be safe and not an institution that did everything to dislodge me from him so he would feel isolated and DNRs could be placed on him without me knowing.
How can we trust hospitals to be safe when one-third of all hospital deaths are attributed to medical errors.
The mantra of the health authorities on how they deal with family: (1) delay (2) deny (3)divide family from patient (4) discredit (5) demoralize. I was a witness/victim in every single stage.
When I would tell VGH and St. Paul that it was not safe for Randy to be returned to GPC, they did not investigate or even want to know the details.

Ro Ang
I keep thinking of how cruel she was towards me after Randy died. She would not even give me one of Randy's articles so I could bury it with him. She also prevented me from attending his memorial service. But then maybe it was VGH's lawyers who told her to do this. Like watching Triumph's lawyer tell the world on international tv that he would not allow Trumph to show his tax returns. A man who is running to be President of the USA being told by a lawyer what to do... I think not.

Tort of Outrage
I was reviewing what happened to Randy and me and I was shocked at what happened. No reasonable man would believe it, but it did happen. There are only defamatory acts against me.
Currently, I am asking the various agencies for explanations, so far none haver been forthcoming.
It is easy for VCH to do this as who has the money to go up against them. They can do what they want because no one is going to stop them. I had a representation agreement for health care for Randy and VGH ignored it. VCH said that Randy was not dying when he was. VCH said Randy was incompetent when he was competent and competent when he was incompetent. VCH said I was a borderline psychotic which I am not. But VGH did cause me psychological trauma for years. Even now when I allow myself to think of the history of what happened, I wake in the middle of the night soaking wet. The cause is stress.
VCH said that it would make sure that I would not see Randy even on his deathbed which is what nearly happened. I was restricted from seeing him for two months before he died and when I did see him he was unresponsive. So in reality, he was dead. I remember crying in the ICU over his dying body saying that I am sorry that I did not do enough to save him. And Ro Ang, the manager of George Pearson Centre, would not let me get a piece of his clothing so I could bury it with him in his coffin.
I want to know what terrible thing I did to cause this. I do not want to speculate. I want it in writing.
VCH never documented much of anything so whatever happened, did not happen. Ask a lawyer.

Euthanasia and the Canadian Medical Association
Today being Thursday January 21 2016, the Canadian Medical Association is presenting its Principles-based Recommendations for a Canadian Approach to Assisted Dying. What a joke.
The Recommendations (if the government accepts the recommendations) will be stealth law giving 99.9% power to doctors to do euthanasia when they want. There is a window, so it will be opened. The window is ...a standard waiting period is not appropriate for all requests ...this could be shorter ...the attending physician must wait no longer than 48 hours, or as soon as is practicable, after the written request is received.
Think about it why have a waiting period as each day costs $big, so why wait. More importantly, the patient may change her mind and all the preparation are for naught. Doctors do not like patients who change their minds. This is what Ro Ang, the manager of GPC, told me. So was Randy declared incompetent because he might change his mind. Is this one of the reasons used to justify his incompetence.
Like the young woman (Brittany Maynard) in Oregon, she changed her mind against assisted suicide as it was too soon, she said (there was a video), and the next day she was dead. Was she forced to follow through with her original date to commit suicide. Also, Gloria Taylor, who was happy with all the attention she was getting. She must have had a DNR on her and emergency refused to agressively treat her. She did not want to die from an infection.
The first few of those who will be euthanized will have perfect oversight to satisfy the public as to safe safeguards but after that what: confidentiality; and a death certificate, not mentioning euthanasia so an insurance company (I think that is criminal fraud) will never know.
CORRECTION; Quebec is already euthanizing patients against federal law and details (the process) is confidential. We live in Dodge City.
The CMA recommendations are not even dated. Trust doctors, you cannot even trust them to date a document recommending how they are going to euthanize patients. What an oversight.
Listen to this: http://rewardsradiotv.com/AUDIO/vickie-t/index2.htm. This is also what is happening in Canada not only to the elderly but to anyone the system targets as not having a meaningful quality of life. This parallels what happened to Randy and I. The legislators in the US and also in Canada know that this is happening but do nothing except to maintain the status quo thus creating a culture of death.

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.

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.

Randy's Stuff and Ro Ang and the Carter decision
I still haven't completely unpacked Randy's stuff from George Pearson Centre. Even getting his stuff was difficult. Ro Ang, the manageress, decided that I couldn't even get a few articles from his belongings so I could place them in his coffin as they belonged to the Public Guardian and Trustee. She had his stuff thrown in plastic garbage bags and put in a public area so anyone could access them.
She won't even let me go to his memorial service at George Pearson Centre. I will never forgive her for that.
I cannot understand her. A woman who is a Christian, goes to church each Sunday, and visits her mother in a rest home daily. She is guilty of doubling. She has two lives. The one at work; and the one off work. One morality for herself off-site and one for her charges who she has conduct until they die and they do die. They all have DNRs and DNTs. A death sentence. That is the purpose of George Pearson she told me in front of a witness. Even an undertaker has more compassion than her. She was part of the group that decided that I should never see Randy again so he would die alone. And he did die alone. Although I finally got a court order, it was too late, he did not know I was there. How could they do this.
Where do these ill-trained dysfunctional medical frontline professionals come from. She was part of the legion who decided that I wasn't good for Randy and she and others made sure that my power of attorney was taken away from me as well as my representation agreement. I went to see Randy every single day that they allowed me to. The reason I wasn't good for Randy was because Randy wanted to live and I fought for this and GPC wanted him to die. With all the $resources that VCH has they could not accommodate Randy so he could be with me as he died. What was I suppose to do, go into a patient's room with a teddy bear which was what caused me to be banned in 2011. There is no excuse for what they did. To date I have no detail knowledge of the legal reasons for the assessment except a letter dated April 4 2014 that usurped my powers without explanation.
April 4 2014 was also the day I went to George Pearson Centre with a pro bono lawyer to see Randy and Ro said I couldn't see Randy. Randy died April 13 2014.
I am sure it was Ro who instructed the RT who I asked to give evidence at a hearing at the College of Physicians and Surgeons not to, as to do so might change the outcome of the hearing. GPC couldn't have anyone tell the truth to the College.
There is a saying about tangled webs being woven when one attempts to deceive.This is true of VCH.
And to think that I can get the medical profession to kill me (Carter decision) as I haven't been able to get a hearing (i.e. an independent investigation as promised by Kip Woodward, the Chair of Vancouver Coastal Health, in 2011 as to why I was bullied and subsequently banned by VCH) as the psychological pain "guilt" as not doing enough to save Randy's life is intolerable. The doctors according to the law and constitution will have to kill me: a welcomed painless death, if I asked them. It is not their call; it is mine. This is "autonomy" of the individual. The Supreme Court decision is so broad, it is ridiculous.
And do not think this won't happen, because of confidentiality between patient and doctor, no one would know. Think again. You can die and your family need never know because as in life and in death you have the right to confidentiality and so do the doctors.
Section 241(b) and s. 14 of the Criminal Code unjustifiably infringe s. 7 of the Charter and are of no force or effect to the extent that they prohibit physician-assisted death for a competent adult person who (1) clearly consents to the termination of life and (2) has a grievous and irremediable medical condition (including an illness, disease or disability) that causes enduring suffering that is intolerable to the individual in the circumstances of his or her condition.

Forgive but Do Not Forget
Forgive But Do Not Forget. I do not know what this means. I was told to do this but I do not understand it. How can you forgive a bunch of professional health care providers that put Randy and me through hell for four years with their over cautiousness as if I would harm someone. What about them, them that are guilty of culpable homicides like the Timer "accidental' death. Them putting on Randy two Do No Transfer Orders when he was in need of acute care so that he would die if he needed care more than what George Pearson Centre could offer. What legal right have doctors to do this.
On two occasions I found Randy needing acute care and him having a do not transfer order on him and then what happens I get banned from seeing Randy for ninety days with management saying it will be extended forever.. They wanted Randy to die without me being with him as I might call 911 again. Ro Ang the manager of George Pearson Centre said that all patients have a DNT on them. I was shocked and still am as on November 18 and December 26, 2013 staff refused to send Randy to VGH because of these orders. I had to force a call to 911. If Randy didn't go to VGH, he would have died a not good death at GPC.
It has been nine months since I contacted the College of Physicians and Surgeons to do something. I haven't heard anything from them. If I am to follow the advice of forgive then the college must be assuming that I am forgiving Dr. Dunne for his culpability.
Because of what Dr. Dunne did and when previously we asked that Dr. Dunne be removed as Randy's physician: this never happened. Something about policy. Once you have a physician in residential care you can't have him removed. You are forced into a deadly alliance. Randy knew Dr. Dunne wanted to kill him but he couldn't do anything about it and neither could I.

Again yesterday I was told that Randy wanted to see me. Again, I shall repeat no one is afraid of me at GPC. They are only afraid of going against what they think they want you want them to say and hear.
These are front line workers and are not afraid of anything and what am I : a 100 lb elf 5'1'. 70 year old trying to enforce my rights under the Representation Agreement..The whole thing is laudable.
And I also want to know how is it that all the media knows about the incident on October 22 2013 when such incidents are suppose to be private and confidential. So the media has contacts within VGH who are told what VCH wants them to hear. I will never forget the reporter telling me that I was nothing but a liar.
The point is I have the right to see Randy 24/7, to see his medical records on demand, and also to speak to all the medical personal who attends to him. I also have the right to search the internet to discover that a regular heart rate monitor should be 110 and not greater. 150 or greater which is what you are using would put Randy in cardiac arrest within a short period of time.
If Randy needs to be hospitalized, he is to go to St. Paul's as when I was at VGH the nurse showed me that all the alarms in the step down ward were set at 150 and she commented that it was high but then it is its unthinking policy. I phoned BC Health Go at 811 and was told that 150 was dangerously high.
I want this post to be put into Randy medical binder.

Richard Singleton. Director of Risk Manager
Richard Singleton wrote me an email saying I was banned from George Pearson Centre because I attempted to take Randy Michael Walker off the grounds to go home with me. In the process I was assaulted by staff, screamed at, humiliated, and forcibly detained. Randy is being forced to stay at George Pearson Centre although he has a history of not wanting to live there. Since Randy can't walk or talk and there were seven out-of-control staff pounding on me I was forced to leave him there. When the police arrived they were not too bright as they were unable to comprehend that Randy was there against his will.
I was hoping today that the police would clear it up but no. They said there was a doctor's order on Randy which GPC did not tell me nor show me. There was nothing wrong with Randy to prevent him from going home for a few hours or from going to another hospital. What planet did the doctor come from. I am sure it only said to watch Randy more carefully for a week or two. It would not say that he couldn't leave GPC as that would be illegal. A doctor's order is not a jail sentence. Randy can come and go when he pleases.
Randy was terrified yesterday and also today when I couldn't see him and secure his release for a few hours. I was told that Randy is very depressed and he knows what is going on and he hates everyone at GPC for doing this to me. Randy is competent so he can leave a residential facility anytime he wants.
Randy cannot talk and he has to use a wheelchair as he is a quad so it is easy to imprison him and convince him of things that are not true. The reason Randy does not like it at GPC is that he feels it is not safe. And it is not safe especially if I cannot have access to him. I will forego talking about his injuries sustained at GPC and the quality of life he does not have there until another time..
I am a petite seventy-four years old woman and it seems that I get regularly demeaned.by VCH and their contract employees.
Randy is 57 so he is not old. He just had a bad accident. How can they scare him like they have done for over three years. A man who cannot talk or move.
Years ago the subject of I taking Randy off the grounds of George Pearson Centre went to the VCH Ethics Board and it was determined that Randy had the right to do so. So why now is this again a problem. Prior to this week GPC never cared if Randy was well enough to go off site or not.
During the years prior to the Ethics Board's decision Randy's freedoms were taken away from him as he did not go off site and he never saw the outside for close to two years.
David Ostrow is the CEO of Vancouver Coastal Health and Kip Woodward (604.875.4719)(email: kip.woodward@vch.ca) is its chairman. Kip is the grandson of the Woodwards Department Store family who built Oakridge..
