That makes no sense.

 How I see the system

from a prisoner:

“But that makes no sense,” I wanted to say, but didn’t. After my time in the system I no longer expected anything to make sense."

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

Marathon of Sleep November 24 2020 @ 3:07 am

In my marathon of sleep I woke up with my teeth hurting, soaking wet, but with a clear head questioning why did Vancouver Coastal Health not accept my diagnosis of PTSD.  I was not capable of doing the complex litigation because I was unwell but they refused the diagnosis of my doctors rather leaving it to the court who is not a physician.  I asked VCHA that I be assessed by one of their doctors but they refused.  The litigation was not about a white collar crime, it was about the tortuous ways the health authorities psychologically treat patients and family members. And the last phase was during the pandemic which deeply distracted me as I am in the high risk group.  It wasn't the courts who treated me badly it was VCHA.  The courts just did what they were obliged to do. It was VCHA who told their lawyers to bring on the application.The court does not bring on an application unless a party asks for it.  I thought that went out with the Nuremberg trials: the lawyers were just following the orders of VCHA. Each party to the litigation networked dictated by VCHA to discredit and demoralize me.  For the "fatherland." The VCHA used me to send a message that no one is allowed to complaint about treatment given to patients within their hospitals: a reverse SLAPP suit.

Email to St Pauls Hospital December 2012


This is a paragraph in an email to St. Paul's Hospital 12 December 2012.

"We understand that there is no where else for him to go and I have been in communication with Bob Chapman, Director of Risk Manager for VCH, that Randy would consider returning to GPC on certain conditions.  These conditions are not being met or even discussed.  In the past Randy was moved back to GPC with out his consent or even my knowledge.

We have decided according to  your policy posted in his room (7B-7017-1) that if a patient is unwilling to leave St. Paul's, that the hospital charge us the full-cost of his ongoing stay.  This we agree to."

The powers never discussed this email with us.  A copy of this email was signed by Randy and given to St. Paul's Hospital.

Randy was covertly sent back to GPC on Christmas Eve....

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.

The PGT and VCHA banning

On 29 January 2014 VCHA banned me for life from accessing all VCHA properties.  The PGT was a signatory to the banning.

A "wanted poster" with my picture was distributed to the employees of VCHA to make sure that employees would attack me on sight. The PGT did an equally stupid thing.

Godsgaard, RE 2009 BCSC 891

The best interests of the incapable adult are the paramount consideration when the Court is appointing a committee.  The relative who exhibits devotion and commitment to the adult over a long period of time is to be preferred over others. see Godsgaard, RE 2009 BCSC 891

This most likely will happen if you end up in a courtroom but it will not happen if the public guardian and trustee wants to be committee as there is no due process.  The PGT is a medieval court.  It decides on gossip if a person is incompetent to be a committee by using a Certificate of Incapability.

What they said about me in its confidential assessment as follows. The redacted section that I  uncovered years later:

Question:  Of the people available who was not contacted for collateral information and why.  

Answer : Mr. Walker's friend/partner, Audrey Laferriere, was not contacted as there are concerns about her ability to manage Mr. Walker's financial affairs. 

(1) I was his wife (2) what financial concerns (3) who provided the collateral information (collateral means unproven gossip).  We were asking for 24/7 access to Randy and VCHA denied us access although he was dying and compounded the refusal by banning me from all VCHA properties for life.   

This is how badly the PGT did its investigation, it did not know if I was married to Randy or not. The PGT did not ask me.  Something so basic it could not even get that right.  The only thing they did is take collateral evidence from others as truths. Complaints that were registered with the PGT.  Where did these false truth come from.  What is the motivation of the person(s) who is telling the collateral truth. 

The PGT never attempted to contact Randy's parents. Randy was dying and his parents had the right to know.   The intent was to take control of Randy without any complications.

And I have reason to suspect that the person who provided the collateral information to the PGT was Randy's lawyer who else would bring it up and he de facto garnisheed Randy's money and I did not know it.  He was hired to end the restrictions to visitation that VCHA arbitrarily put on us in 2011.    He never paid attention to Randy or me before Randy had money. He never tried to have the restrictions waived.  He won't give me money from the taxi-TV fund to pay for a companion for a few hours a day when I could not access Randy. I asked him to find a volunteer as he has connections to sit with Randy.  Why the sudden interest three days after the settlement June 2013.  A settlement that I was not fully aware of until after Randy died.  The only thing I knew was that his state-appointed physician and this lawyer made an arrangement that Randy would never leave George Pearson Centre.  And it was obvious to me that the strict restrictions then to accessing Randy would remain or get worse.  After this lawyer was paid $200,000 in fees I had to continue being humiliated by VCHA with the tacit approval of this lawyer, an officer of the court, who was acting in Randy's best interest!  The only best interest this lawyer had was his own.  There were no pre-trial motions or a trial or even an expert witness report for such a fee.  After Randy died I wanted Randy's file and he refused to give it to me.   He never considered what Randy wanted. He never told me what his fee was or that he was even paid.  He told us that there was only enough money for us to take a cab when we wanted to go off site and to buy Randy a flat screen television. He had unlawful conduct of the money.  This goes to show how little this lawyer knew about Randy.  Randy hated cabs.  He would not use one.  Randy already had a 32" flat screen TV that I purchased for him and which I still owed money for on my credit card. At the fatal, without my knowledge confidential assessment 14 March 2014, this lawyer rather than me was there. The same day I filed a Petition in the Supreme Court to visit Randy, the PGT started to fast-tracked the Certificate of Incapability process. The PGT became Committee on April 4 2014 and Randy became a non-person putting an end to our court case to visit, to see each other. Now it was the PGT who controlled everything.  After Randy died I could not get a Steeler's hat from the PGT so I could bury the hat with him.  Randy was a Steeler's fan and wore a Steeler's hat every day, even while sleeping.  The lawyer and the PGT wanted Randy to be cremated. Randy never wanted to be cremated.  Even that wish I  had to fight for.  I could see Randy refusing to answer any questions during the confidential assessment as he hated his lawyer as he betrayed us. And he was not happy with the social worker either.   This lawyer lied and said he was never our lawyer, he was only Randy's lawyer.  And if you asked Randy what he thought of his state-appointed physician, he would show you the bird. And when I told this state-appointed physician about this gesture and that Randy wanted another physician, he said "too bad." When you are dealing with VCHA, the only choice is that you agree with it. 

Randy was a near quad and he could not easily communicate.  He died when he was 57.  I do not understand what he died from.  I was told by VGH that it was multiple organ failure.  But his organs were remarkable.  Remarkable is doctor talk meaning in excellent condition.

He married me because he preferred older women. And I married him because he was the only man that ever truly loved me.  He haunts me every day.

Why did VCHA prevent me from seeing Randy during the last few months of his life... They imprisoned him by saying he was incompetent/too sick. VCHA made the decision who could see him and who could not. And when I sent friends to see him so they would tell him that I was trying to see him, I was told that such covert activity was not allowed. And the visitors were banned.

Pleading April 2 2014

For years I could not read the pleadings from when VGHA wanted to get a restraining order so I would never be able to access any VCHA properties. The wordsmithing was so hurtful and untrue. The allegations were so so off the Bell curve...

I was rereading just now paragraph 17 of the Petition.  You cannot make this up but a $800 an hour lawyer did .This lawyer was hired by VCHA to tell the truth to the court.... he is an officer of the court.

17.  One particular example of Ms. Laferriere'e violent and aggressive behavior occurred on October 21 2013.  On that day, Ms. Laferriere trespassed into the room of a resident other than Mr. Walker at GPC.  When asked to leave the facility, Ms. Laferriere refused, then later attempted to leave the facilty with Mr. Walker in his electric wheelchair.  Staff prevented Ms. Laferriere from removing Mr. Walker, and in response, Ms. Laferriere punched two staff members,attempted to hit staff with Mr.Walker's electric wheelchair, and bite the hand of a security guard.  Ms. Laferriere later punched a police officer in the face.

note # 1:  I had an invitation to enter Carolanne's space
note # 2:  I never punched anyone; I was pushing them away
note # 3:  no electric wheelchair (a serious weapon)
note # 4:  Mr. Walker wanted to go home
note # 5.  I could not have bitten a security guard as I had no teeth capable of doing so
note # 6:  the police denied me punching them
note # 7:  it was I who phoned the police
note # 8:  I wanted to criminally charge VCHA staff with assaulting me

How is this violent and aggressive behavior.

Unfortunately, whatever a lawyer says in his pleadings a court as in this case for a restraining order has to believed. The court assumed the lawyer did an investigation prior to pleadings his case.  How could I disprove these allegatins within two days.  It was my word against his. The court would believe a lawyer firstly as he is an officer of the court.  No matter what, this document is a matter of public record and an affront to me and the defamation is there forever.

My husband was in acute/intensive care dying while they are doing this.  They did not care about my husband.  This exercise was to ban me forever from entering VCHA for life.  For what end, I do not know.  This is an abuse of the judicial system at its worse.

Daphne Bramham and Bountiful (the FLDS)

On 13 August 2017 I attended a gathering where Daphne was speaking on the August 11 2017 decision of the court.  The court had sentenced Mr. and Mrs. Blackmore to jail for facilitating a polygamous marriage of their 13 year old daughter to a Mormon leader.

Daphne said that when abuse was suspected by hospital staff when children of Bountiful went to Creston emergency, the hospital was not allowed to contact the police. This directive came from the AG of BC. They were instructed to contact the Bishop Blackmore.

That must be the same protocol that the VPD has with VCHA.  On two occasions I was assaulted by VCHA staff and when the police (I had them called) both times), the police arrived and I told them that I wanted charges laid and nothing came of it. They assault me, they sit on me imprisoning me, they accused me of using a pen as a weapon.  But they would not phone the police.  And when the police finally came it was in response to its  non-emergency number which delayed their attendance.

VCHAstaff were following orders.  Following illegal orders went out with the Nuremberg trials.

The Bountiful protocol must exist between the VPD and VCHA.  VPD may attend but their function is only to calm and do nothing. . The police were so kind to me ... too kind. Their job was to calm me so that I did not insist on charges.  VPD did not investigate the black and blue brusings.They did not even talk to the attackers. Thinking back the VPD were very respectful as if they knew they could not do anything.  Much like the judge I faced on April 8 2014.  He would not grant VCHA the restraining order it sought but he did adjourn the matter for 30-days.  I still remember him loooking down at me as if to say he was sorry that was the best he could do.  Randy was comatose and he died five days later in ICU.

Therefore, VCHA has authority to be thugs and nothing will ever happen to them.  MLA Stilwell told me when I was being bullied by the VCHA in 2011, she could not help me as VCHA had its own government.

Thank you Daphne for pointing out the Bountiful protocol. Downloading policing powers to non-profits (churches and hospitals and the SPCA) is a slippery slope to a futuristic dark world that I want no part of.

VCHA is a police state.

I was thinking about VCHA this morning.  A caution to all those who read my blog.  Consider whenever you enter a VCHA property rememeber that you are entering a police state and it will take away your civil rights or even contractual rights as there is no due process.  By the time you figure that maybe you have some rights, your loved one is dead.  Anything that happened before is moot.

I am still in disbelief over the fact that I cannot find a lawyer to represent me.  VCHA farms out all its legal work to multiple law firms so there is no one qualified to act for you when you need someone. These legal firms are all in a conflict position.  It is much like a company town where the company owns the store from which you buy bread.

CMPA June 2017

This from the CMPA Perspectives June 2017

Document carefully in the medical record the processes and discussions around MAID, especially assessments on eligibility and mental capacity (competence), informed consent discussions, consultations with other healthcare professionals, and, if appropriate, discussions with family members.

What I like is, if appropriate, discussions with family members.  That leaves it up to the physician to decide if the family should know about the euthanasia.  Since the death certificate will say the preexisting medical condition caused death, the family would never know if the medical vulnerable person did euthanasia or not. There is suicide prevention, why not euthanasia prevention.

This is what happened to Randy.  On November 15 2013 his physician put a DNR/DNT Order on him without telling us. I found out by accident.  I was not to know.  VCHA did the same thing to him in 2012.  At that time, after I found out, a trio of three went to see Randy, without me, and he said no to a DNR.  So I was confident that VCHA would not do that again.  But they did, they put on a DNR on Randy without telling me on November 15, 2013.

If VCHA is fearful that you will talk a patient out of a decision to die, they will just not tell you.  They will even go so far as getting the PGT involved so the process is sanctioned by her. If a patient is brave enough to want euthanasia, then he should be brave enough to tell his family of his intention.

Euthanasia requests should be announced/published in the newspaper asking if there is any reason why this should not happen.

Snowflake Allegation Defence

I keeping thinking what did I do to anger VCHA.  How can frontline medical personnel be snowflakes. Snowflakes are those who thinks they are entitled to special consideration.  They are ultra sensitive (snowflake delicate) to the point that they demand that no emotion or discourse be allowed.  In my case, I am not allowed access to all VCHA properties. Now I have to spend thousands of hours to prove it in a court of law.. But alas, the lawyers are the ones who are going to be $enriched: make work projects are what they excel in.  Their own evidence will prove that their clients are snowflakes. I only need patience with the court process. And that is going to be hard as there are other things I want to do in this my last decade of  life.
