DNR, DNT Orders by Dr. Dunn, VCHA

 I was thinking back to November 2013 when Dr. Dunn put on a DNR and a DNT on Randy.  By accident I found out about the Orders and told Dr. Dunn to remove them (and Randy signed a directive) and he refused.  On the day he should have died and me telling him to take off the DNR/DNT he refused saying that it was not his decision and he would consider it on his return trip from Prince George.  A few hours later my husband was in medical distress and I called 911. Randy was transferred from GPC to Vancouver General Hospital and he survived.  When I allow myself to think about it I get very upset. Dunn wanted him dead. And what did VGH do because I called 911, they banned me from entering George Pearson Centre. Later they banned me from all VCHA properties. How dare I stop a hastened death. They created a horrendous hate against me to justify the bannings. I did not know the extent of the hate until years later i.e. when the manufactured hate came to surface.

DNT means do not transfer from GPC to any hospital

DNR means do not attempt to resuscitate Randy if he has difficulty breathing  He was having difficulty breathing and the staff would not give him oxygen.,

Sean Taggart Powell River

A few days ago I came across a young woman at Oakridge mall who said that she was a care worker for Sean Taggart.  She said that Sean decided on euthanasia as he was just tired of fighting for care.  VCHA saved a few dollars by Sean's euthanasia.  His death was hastened and no one is screaming.

24 November 2017 School yard bullies

As things are progressing, I feel so overwhelmed and afraid.  I was told by VCHA it is my fault that I caused all that I am suffering.  No where does it say that the actors contributed any mal behavior.  They are all protected by insurance companies and their unions, it is only I who have flashbacks and cannot sleep.  These are healthcare professionals not school yard bullies. They cannot even be shamed or shunned as their culture embraces such behaviors.  No one will confront them and say they did wrong, they will just offer condolences by their coworkers that they were unfortunately caught, if a sliver of a complaint was made. 


  

How stupid is VCHA

How stupid is VCHA...

What did I do that caused VCHA to ask the Supreme Court of British Columbia on 2 April 2014 to ban me for life from attending VCHA facilities including GPC except when Walker's physician deemed Walker's condition as "imminently terminal." The same doctor who put an illegal DNR on my husband.  Imminently terminal means certain death.  What kind of sick perverted person is VCHA.  And I am still banned to this day. And my husband is dead.

I asked the lawyers for VCHA a few months ago what terrible thing did I do for this continuing drastic measure. I was told that I knew what I did.  I said no I did not.  Tell me.  They refused to tell me. There must be some dreadful thing I did and VCHA does not want me to know.


In my banning letter of 29 January 2014 VCHA wrote that it was necessary that I be banned because my conduct was not respectful:

1.  called VCHA idiots  TRUE  Bullies run VCHA  FAIR COMMENT
2.  called VCHA "trio of death"  TRUE  VCHA used a trio of physicians to solicit DNRs
3.  swearing in emails  NOT SURE
4.  sending emails to staff  TRUE  How else can you communicate with staff
5.  sending emails to the Chairman of the Board  TRUE  The boss should know what is going on
6.  threatening staff by saying that I will get them and I know what car they drive  NEVER HAPPENED

This banning letter is a matter of public record that VCHA used to apply for a restraining order 2 April 2014 to ban me from all VCHA properties.

What egregious thing did I do.  Maybe someone should ask the new Attorney General of British Columbia.  He should know. He is the one at the top of the food chain.  The buck stops with him. VCHA is a creation of the government and it is responsible to British Columbia.

This past week I had occasion to speak to a health professional and also a lawyer.  Like always, neither wanted to truly hear what I had to say.  They rushed me from their offices. They did not what to know the details of what really happened because then they would have to do something about it.   Don't Ask; Don't Tell.  There is a saying, evil is caused by good people doing nothing. And in this case not wanting to know.

I was talking to a gent this afternoon (15 October 2017).  He said that he experienced much like what I did.  He was concerned about his mother who was in care.  He saved her life twice by taking her from her care faclity to emerg.  He complained.  He was visited by the mental health police.  During this same period, his name became associated with a few internet sites discrediting him.  He was convinced that Fraser Health was behind it.  I gave him my contact number.  I hope he calls me.    

Diana Pepin banned from seeing mother. Doctors speak too soon.

I must be in good company.  Diana Pepin was also banned.  Her from seeing her mother.  Me from seeing my husband.  And Diana is a nurse. https://ca.yahoo.com/news/apos-why-taking-long-die-223813654.html 'WHY IS IT TAKING YOU SO LONG TO DIE?': LONG-TERM CARE HOME TREATMENT HORRIFIES FAMILY   CBC Fri, Sep 29 4:38 PM MDT A year ago, Diana Pepin installed a video camera in her disabled mother's room after she said she had a bad feeling about the long-term care facility. Her 85-year-old mother can't walk and can't talk, so Pepin felt after witnessing incidents she said put her mother at risk, she needed to be her protection. "I had to replace my eyes with other eyes, and the camera is eyes." Pepin's instincts culminated Thursday when the City of Ottawa fired three workers at the municipally run Peter D. Clark Long Term Care Centre over incidents of verbal abuse described as "disturbing and offensive" were captured on video. It was the culmination of a three-year battle Pepin had been fighting with the long-term care home, including a no trespassing order filed against her, she said. But Pepin said she was never prepared for what that camera would capture in late August and early September. "I saw the [personal support worker] leaning over my mom … but then I heard words that just crushed me," she said, close to tears. "'Why is it taking you so long to die?'" she said the worker said. In another video, Pepin said a worker looked directly into the camera and said "watch, bitch." In total, Pepin caught three instances of abuse on camera. When she reported them to the city, the workers were fired and another worker was put on notice. "Trust is broken," Pepin said. "It's my word against [their] word, but with the camera and pictures you have your witness with you." Mayor 'outraged' by video This was the sixth serious allegation of abuse against a city-run care home since 2015. Mayor Jim Watson found out about the video on Wednesday, after city staff were alerted to the abuse allegation. He said he has not seen the video but was provided a transcript by his staff. "I was sickened to see someone in their golden years, their dying days, being treated so disrespectfully and bullied and threatened by someone who was put in a position of trust," Watson said. The mayor said he was outraged by the abuse in the video, but maintained the city's long term care homes are "very well run." The city has ordered a third-party independent investigation of the city's four homes. The recommendations from that investigation will be made public. --------------- By Anita Cameron OCTOBER 20, 2017 I will never forget it. I answered the phone one June morning in 2009. The voice on the phone said, “If you want to see your mother alive, you will come see her in the next few days.” A doctor was calling from Washington state and explained that my mother, who was in her 60s, was in the final stages of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. He gave her literally days to live. Two days later, I was on a plane from New York to Tacoma. I went to see my mom, who was still in her apartment, since she said she wanted to die at home. She rallied while I was there, and was almost her normal self. A few days later, I went home, but asked her doctor and home health agency to keep in close contact with me. About a month later, her health took a downward spiral. Her doctor was convinced she was definitely in the process of dying, so we agreed to put her in a hospice facility, since she could not receive hospice care in her own place. Mom was put on painkillers to make her comfortable. I expected that she would be there for a short time, then die peacefully. That did not happen. Each time her grandchildren came to see her or I called and talked with her, she rallied again. Staff were amazed. Still, after six months, mom’s health did indeed take a turn for the worse and the doctor again said her body had begun the process of dying. My mother decided to go back home to Colorado to die. With agency help, we found her a place and she took the train, which is amazing given how ill she was. Back in Denver, mom settled in and waited to die. But an odd and wonderful thing happened — she did not die. She eventually found a doctor who adjusted her medications and oxygen and took her off of all of the heavy pain meds. She got a new wheelchair and began to venture out into the community. Before long, she was back doing what she loved—volunteering to advocate for people with disabilities. Weeks after her return home, she traveled to Washington DC to help fight for disability rights. Terminal Illness Diagnoses Are Sometimes a Mistake My mother’s story illustrates how doctors can and do make mistakes when they determine that someone is terminally ill. More than seven years have passed since that morning in June when I was first told my mom was dying. Happily, she is still alive. Her health isn’t the best, but she is still in her own place and still reasonably active in the community. What happened to my mom happens far more often then we realize. It’s one reason assisted-suicide laws are so dangerous. Eligibility for assisted suicide typically depends on a doctor’s prediction of death within six months. Distress over receiving that kind of bad news could lead someone to make a hasty exit and, potentially, miss good years of life. Fortunately, my mother, who often jokes that she’s too ornery to die, wasn’t the kind to contemplate checking out early. But when she lived in Washington state, all she would have had to do was ask and sign a form and she would have been given lethal drugs. Some people say that’s her choice. If they were talking about suicide, that’s true. But they’re talking about doctor-assisted suicide, and that’s the doctor’s choice, along with any others who may be involved, whatever their reasons may be. That’s where there’s plenty of room for concern. These Laws Particularly Prey on the Vulnerable Most people of color are against doctor-assisted suicide. Studies show that blacks are treated differently than white patients and receive inferior care, particularly in cardiac care, diabetes, and pain management. Blacks are more likely to die because doctors have overlooked something critical or will not listen to or believe what we have to say about our health and pain. Also, because we’re more likely to be poor, we are at greater risk of being persuaded or coerced by doctors into assisted suicide, citing the financial burden we’d be to our family. Data from Oregon and Washington shows that people request assisted suicide mainly for psychological and social reasons. Healthy, nondisabled people get support to live when they express suicidal feelings, while people who are sick and disabled, particularly those deemed terminally ill, get suicide medication. Why not suicide prevention, pain relief, and home care? Would that be so difficult? Or is the difficulty and cost of quality care the real issue? A particularly frightening reality is that some insurance companies in Oregon and California, where doctor-assisted suicide is legal, have begun denying cancer treatment to patients, opting instead to pay for lethal drugs. This is not the way society should respond to human beings’ needs for health care. Assisted suicide laws are a bad prescription. We shouldn’t take it.

My poor Randy

Poor Randy.  It has been two months since he was imprisoned at GPC because of my disrespectful conduct.  What has my conduct got to do with him wanting to visit me.  He has the right to see me but VCH is acting cruelly and harshly.  Why are they punishing Randy when he can't move or even talk.  I am sure he must be very depressed not knowing what is really going on.

I will tell you how mean VCH is:  From October 15 2013 to January 29 2014 Randy was in a private room in which I was able to visit him for two hour intervals.  Then they moved him to an open ward so those phantoms that are afraid of me are there and I can't see Randy.

It is the staff that is violent not me.  Because they belong to the medical profession they get away with bullying and violence everyday because they are believed and the victims are not.  And there is no lawyer or doctor who will aid you because VCH will make sure that you are discredited.  No one.

On October 22 2013 the staff at GPC attacked me because I was trying to take Randy out of GPC.  They lied and said that Randy was in need of medical attention; he didn't. 

Stephanie created the mob hysteria and everyone followed her.  She must have known that Randy did not want a DNR as it was in Randy's medical records and she did nothing to save him on November 18 but was willing to save him on October 21. No one did anything to save him.

I still am haunted with him begging me to save his life when he was scheduled to die by GPC on November 18 2013. No one was there; he was alone in an isolated room with no one to help him. No nurses; no security; no one. Dr. Dunne and others decided that Randy would never get any better -- he was chronic, and it was time for him to die.

How can all of GPC be party to this.  And then what do they do with Randy, they ban me from seeing him.  I saved his life after GPC tried to hasten his death and I am charged with the crime of disrespectful conduct.  What bizarre logic does these highly trained medical professionals possess.  They should all be charged with conspiracy to commit murder.

If Randy is chronic and was actively dying in November and December, it would be logical that I should have access to him 24/7 as it is just a matter of time before he dies.  How insensitive and stupid is VCH.

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.

Due Process by GPC

I was told that the lawyer for VCH is going to ask that I be banned 100% from all VCH properties.  Based on what a report written recommendation by a security guard whose report is so grossly false that it shouuld be trashed.  This report is not based on the history of what happened nor the law.  He comes across as being a forsenic criminal profiler except I am not a criminal and I resent this invasion of lies and half truths.  Like Moirs Stillwel said VCH has its own government and it can use what false they need to justify whatever they do.

The Affidavit of Dr. James Dunne is equally inconsistent and inaccurate.  During the three years he has been Randy's physician (although he has been fired, he still is) he only talked to me for a total of twenty minutes in a three year period.

During that time I sent him letters, emails and phone calls and he never answered one of them.

Paragraph 11 really was a shocker him saying that on several occasions in 2012 and 2013 I had taken Randy off ward as if I had illegally taken him. Dunne doesn't even understand that no resident is a prisoner in his care.   I have taken Randy off the ward every single day that I could from October 2011 to June 30 2013 for clsoe to two years and if he wasn't at GPC I was at his side at VGH or St. P:auls and Dunne did not know that. And he had his affidavit sworn and notarized.

Paragraph 18 is even better: Ms. Laferriere's aggressive behavior and unreasonable instructions with respect o Mr. Walker's care are interfering with my ability to make objective decisions about his care and provide the best possible care for him.  What a joke. Sounds like a cry baby.  He has never communicated with me except for the twenty minutes and the night of November 18 2013 when I asked him in front of two witnesses to take off the DNR/DNT and he refused saying it wasn't his decision to make.  Of course it wasn't his decision to make.  Any decision for any treatment has to be made by Randy or me as Randy's legal representative.And Randy is entitled to be part of a treatment.    A patient can change his mind at any time. The DNR would have been void on November 15, 2013.  VCH should fire this man and not allow him to be near Randy or any other patient.

Paragraph 12. I also want to know how he convinced the police that placing a DNR/DNT on Randy was treatment rather than an Order to hasten Randy's death. I shall ask the Police Board to clarify this.. It is very simple. Iif you do anything to cause someone's death it is some kind of murder.  It is not treatment.  Euthanasia is illegal in Canada. Assisting in a suicide is also illegal. Placing a DNR on someone which results in death is also murder.

Where is Ray

The same thing that happened to me when Randy was transferred to George Pearson Centre in 2011 has now happened to Ray, a resident at GPC.  No one know where he is.  On Friday I was told he was carted out in an ambulance to VGH.  On Sunday I went to VGH to visit him and was told that he wasn't there.  I then asked the social worker at GPC and he said it was against the law for him to give out any information on anyone.

I just talked to a religious minister, a priest not associated with GPC, and he said it was just as bad for him.  He can't even say hi to residents/patients in the hallway for fear he will lose his visiting privileges.  He can only see residents/patients if they ask for him.

So it is true when Nurse Rachet told me so many years ago that I was not allowed to speak to anyone unless I was spoken to first.  What a sick sick environment VCH is.  They are doing everything to make people isolated and alone. What is the point of caring when you are not allowed to care.

When I said how is Ray suppose to know if I want to visit him if I can't ask him because  I do not know where he is. The social worker said it was the law.  There are ways of interpreting the law and VCH has done it to save money and maintain the status quo. I am currently waiting for a copy of the law I asked him to give to me.

I am very worried about Ray.  He was telling me for weeks that he was being given meds that made him think crazy.  If he has gone crazy and he does not want to see me okay but if he has gone crazy and he wants to see me then that is something else.

When Randy disappeared in 2010 I was devastated. It doesn't matter if you are family, friend or foe.  VGH will tell no one where they move you.  You are just gone.
 
An argument can be made that everyone's "security of person" is taken away when hospitals hide behind privacy. How can anyone be secure in a hospital setting that hides (imprisons) patients.

If a visitor harasses a resident/patient then there are criminal sanctions.  When did VCH decide to separate friends and family from visiting patients by making contact so difficult that a caring person gives to frustration and a sense of helplessness. And the patient/resident thinks that no one cares and not even knowing a no contact order has been placed on him and all mail is returned to sender. What of the pyschological pain this is causing. Who is responsible for that.

Remember Policeman Dave Dixon who told the sister of one of Pickton's victims for the sister not to worry because the sister was in rehab and didn't want anyone to visit. This went on for two years.  If the police can lie so can VCH.

720 Hours (30 days) and still waiting

It will be at 11:00 am today 720 hours (30 days: one month) since the Chairman of the Board of Vancouver Coastal Health agreed to post his email address and those of the other Board members on the VCH bio page of directors. (vch.ca)

I suspect Napolean Ostrow is doing everything possible to prevent this from happening. I would like a forensic time line from June 8 2011 as to what has been not been done to comply with this order from the government of VCHA (its Board).

A Caring Friend

I just came across this video. Please view it. It is on You Tube.

BC's Health Authorities on How to Effectively Communicate with the Public

There are five Ds to effective communication: D1 delay; D2 deny; D3 divide (separate patient from family); D4 discredit; D5 demoralize.

This is after I was told by Dr. Moria Stillwell, MLA for Langara Vancouver, this morning at her compliant meet and greet at the Oakridge Senior Centre, that the Health Authorities are their own governments removed from the jurisdiction of the BC government. I suspect the culprits are the slippery non-profit societies which are taking over everything. We don't have centralized government answerable to the public any more we just have societies (decentralized governments)that can do what they want when they want because they can.

Since the Health Authorities are beyond the reach of the legislature, I hope that those of you who read this and have a video camera will record the You Tube video (i.e. take a video of the video) before the Health Authorities force Paul to take it off the internet.

The couple who promised the flat screen TV never delivered it. So I had to buy Randy a new one. Although it was greatly reduced from its original price, it took a big bite out of my pension monies. I am down to $55.00 for the month and I still have to pay my hydro.
