BEWARE of Kevin Calder, Respectful Behavior Cop

Vancouver Coastal Health hired Kevin Calder who enforces VCH's Respectful Workplace and; Human Rights Policy.  He is the cop who VCH listened to to have me 100% banned from going to any Vancouver Coastal Health properties and being banned from being at Randy's bedside as he is dying..

Think about it. A person whose recommendations will ban anyone from any hospital in the Vancouver Coastal Health. From now on it isn't a manager's decision, it is the decision of a paid employee who does exactly what is expected of him.

Who is this person.  A security guard cum expert basing his information on rumour behind your back which is the way VCH seems works. The accused is never involved in these discussions just the stakeholders who want to keep their jobs.

He even turned the whole situation around in that I was bullying staff.

The one thing I got from him is the Step#1 Resolution wherein it states that the parties are to have conversations to try to resolve any misunderstandings.  This never happened with me.  I was never able to talk to anyone.

His statement (inferring that I am not all-together) that my allegations that staff and Dr. Dunne are conspiring to withdraw care from Mr. Walker resulting in his death.  Dr. Dunne isn't conspiring to kill Randy, he nearly did on November 18, 2013.

If I did not attend to see Randy after being told that he was dying on November 18, 2013, and I calling 911, he would have died while staff just looked on because there was a DNR/DNT Order on Randy which Order was not consented to by Randy or me. Even the ambulance driver was pissed off as why did he have to take a DNR to VGH.  I am Randy's representative and I should know of any such order especially when Dr. Dunne was and still is of the opinion that Randy is sometimes incompetent.  If Randy is incompetent or confused I should know what Dunne is trying to do. I still do not know why Dr. Dunne is Randy's doctor because we fired him a long time ago.  If you suspected or could prove that a doctor attempted to kill you would you want him to be your doctor.

I will be doing a private prosecution against Dr. Dunne charging him with conspiracy to commit murder because that is exactly what Dr. Dunne and the staff did on November 18, 2013.  They knew Randy did not want a DNR as it was written in his medical binder and yet they did nothing to stop the process of Level 2 dying.  If a doctor kills someone without the patient's permission then it is clearly murder. A private prosecution means you do not have to get the police involved.  You have to pay for all the costs of the prosecution but that is okay,. The money will come and there is no statute of limitations.
More about Mr. Calder and his recommendations next post.

Why family has to be by the bedside of dying patients

The resurrection of the “technically dead” BIOEDGE by Xavier Symons | 13 Mar 2014 | tags: determining death Lorna Baillie with daughter and husband The family of a 51-year-old British woman is suing the government for £5 billion after she was wrongly declared dead. Following her massive heart attack two years ago, the doctors of Lorna Baillie told her family she was “technically dead” and they switched off her life support system. However, once this had been done Baillie continued to breathe.  It was only after 45 minutes that her family persuaded the doctors to reconnect life-support. Tell me what is VCH's rationalization of banning a relative over kindergarten hysteria.  Randy could have died twice first on November 18 2013 and then on December 26 2013 and instead of giving him 24/7 nursing that I asked for what did they do it created a situation to have me 100% banned.  VCH can only manage by threats or calling security or banning.  I always wondered why when I would approach family members or even residents or staff at GPC and give them my phone numbers and even directions where I lived not one contacted me.  They too must have all been threatened to mind their business or we will ban you.  SICK SICK SICK

Are you trying to tell me that your staff is so incompetent that they can't take Randy to the curbside on Saturday.  Just Pamela and Tanu can do this.. 

Fine, then I will just come in and visit with him inside.

Don't you understand you cannot do this any more.

And Dr. Dunn is not Randy's physician.

You behave as if we live in an undemocratic state and you can do what you want. 

Randy can make his own decisions as to who he can see and when. 

What planet are you from.

I received word today that your staff didn't even put his television on nor answer his landline when I attempted to call.  All they had to do is answer the phone and tell Randy that I called.  Randy is scheduled to receive six hours of care each day and I doubt that he even gets a fraction of that.

You are not only hurting me with the banning you are harming Randy from which he may never recover and for him to only remember the banning on his death is SICK and not to mention the reputations of David Ostrow and his people first policy. You know his death, the death I am not ready to accept and that all the residents at GPC have agreed to DNR and DNTs.  I doubt that as the few residents I have spoken to do not even know what a DNR is least of all what a DNT means.  If you are acutely ill and you cnnnot be transferred to VGH then you will probably die.  Darwin's law of only the fittest will survive is alive and well at GPC.  If you need acute care you will probably die and have a nurse call your relatives in the middle of the night so such an event doesn't upset the flow of work during the day and to document the death there will only be one sentence "patient sweatng profusely.".

I do not understand the media or maybe I have not been doing the right things to ask for help.

I have had problems with the draconian methods George Pearson Centre manages George Pearson Centre.  On January 29, 2014 I was banned from seeing my husband who is at GPC due to an ABI and spinal cord injury for disrespectful conduct.  There doesn't seem to be anything I can do to reverse this gross injustice.  What has my disrespectful behavior have to do with seeing my husband. 

My husband cannot talk due to his injuriis and he I am told by those that visit him cries each time my name is mentioned.  What VCH is doing is cruel and unnecessary.  They are using the Trespass Act to justify their abuse of power and they think they are within the law.

In an effort to attract attention to this, I placed a notice in the Georgia Straight and after that things got worse. 

Up until last week I was able to see Randy for ten minutes  at the curbside once a week which is out of the jursidiction of the banning order.  I was told on Friday that Randy is too sick to even go to the curbside into the future.  Visitors to see Randy, two of which are retired registered nurses said Randy was capable to be transported to the curbside.

On Saturday I phoned the police to assist me and the police said that it was a civil matter.  How can imprisoning someone be a civil matter.

Of course I do not have any resources (money) to attract a lawyer.

Being banned is very common in VCH but the victims do not say or do anything for fear of what is happening to me. 

604-321-2276

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday

Sunday was a terrible day for me.  Thinking of Randy and thinking that I will never see him again alive.  The medical system is broken if this is the way they treat patients and their families.  Not once during Randy's interment did VCH do anything to make sure that banning is not used as a instrument of first resort.  They offered no intervention as to why this occurred and occurred for so long.  Management did nothing, Worksafe did nothing, the Unions did nothing.  If staf or residents were traumatized in anyway you would think that intervention counselling would happen, but it didn't.

During the times Randy was at St. Pauls or at Vancouver General Hospitals 1.5 years there were no incidents but at GPC I was bullied and denied the right to be at Randy's bedside for what reason I do not know.  Each incident was provoked by GPC and yet when I stood up for Randy I get further banned.  One of the doctors said GPC was purgatory: a place where the residents are soon to die.  This was also relayed to me by Ro the manager of GPC that all the residents know that they are going to die so that is why they all have DNRs and DNT Orders on them.  The more intelligent of the residents chose to withdraw life support.  They give up.  It is as simple as that. And to help those in purgatory, heart arrests are arranged by staff setting the heart alarms to alarm after a resident's heart rate is in excess of 150 bpm: too late to do anything especially if the resident has a DNT on him.

I have reported this to the police, the Ministry of Health, the medical review people, to management, and what reward do I get, I can't even see Randy on the curb (sidewalk) for five or ten mnutes.  What bastards they are

Police Helping VCH to imprison Patient

to district4, JAG.Minister, Richard, richard.hay, Romilda, Tanvirezohra, kip, Sam, James

Yesterday I asked the police to lay charges against George Pearson Centre for imprisoning Randy and your officer refused.  Randy wanted to see me and yet your officer did not even go to the ward to ask him nor did he look at the letter I have from a lawyer that says that I have authority to access Randy. 

Can you explain why you failed not to charge George Pearson Centre with imprisoning Randy..  Randy has a constitutional right to come and go sick or not sick. Why are you breaking the law..

Also for you information Dr. James Dunne, the doctor who attempted to killl Randy by a DNR/DNT is no longer Randy's doctor so why is he still issuing orders for him. Randy is terrorified of him and so am I yet he still continues to be his physician.  This is unacceptable and cruel..

You get abused by a doctor and you are sent back to him to be abused more.  There is something terribily wrong.  And the police is saying it is okay.  I think not.

Police assisting in the imprisonment of patient at George Pearson Centre

Armed with the letter from the lawyer saying that I was to have access to Randy, I decided to go and see him for five minutes just to make sure he was okay.  When I reached GPC I was prevented from entering GPC by two security guards.  I wanted for the police to come which they did two hours later and I told him I wanted GPC chargd with imprisoning Randy.
The officer refused saying that it was a civil matter.  When is imprisoning a person a civil matter. The police did not even go inside to ask Randy if he was ijmprisoned or not.  Neither the police nor the security guard would read the letter.

If Randy is so ill that he can't be transported to the sidewalk for a five minute visit then I should be allowed to be at his bedside.

Whatever VGH is alledging is an abuse of power and now the police are helping them..

Singleton, Richard [VA]	Mar 7 (2 days ago)		This visits were only for a few minutes on the curbsidewalk and they are even stopping them.  Why is Randy under security he can't run away or even talk. They won't even let me talk to him on the telephone.  What are they trying to prove.  Are they using psychological warfare to drive Randy mad.  You would think so.What quality of life can a bunch of dysfunctional health care providers can provide Randy.  They must be dysfunctional when they can't even see how much Randy needs some quality of life rather than the ceiling to stare at.
to Romilda, Tanvirezohra, me, Bob

Hi Audrey,

Please be aware that Dr. Dunne does not feel that Randy is well enough medically to go outside of GPC for the visits that you are requesting.  He has written an order stating that Randy is “not to be off the unit except for physio and Living room under supervision”.  As such, your visit today as well as any future curbside visits will be cancelled.  We will inform you if and when this order is changed and these visits can resume.  Thank you.

Randy Crying

I got a report from someone seeing Randy yesterday.  He was crying.  What monsters are those that manage our health care system

What kind quality of life does someone have when they are imprisoned and can't talk to defend themselves.  The only time I heard about quality of life is when the trio of death wants patients to agree to a DNR because the doctors say they do not have one.  How many residents at GPC have agreed to discontinue life support:: to my personal count: four.  Is Randy going to be the next one.. 


George Pearson Centre isn't suppose to be a prison for the vulnerable and disabled.  VCH abuses its powers for no othee reason than they can and the is no stopping them.

Although no one trusts our medical system, no one is campaigning to make it better.

Friday March 6 2014 District 4

Audrey Laferriere audreyjlaferriere@gmail.com	2:31 PM (11 hours ago)
to district4

When I went to GPC to see Randy for five minutes on the curb of the sidewalk I was told by GPC when I arrived that I was not allowed to go into inside the building because Randy was too sick to go out..  If he is so sick that he can't come to 57th Street sidewalk curb then I decided I should go into GPC and check on him. If he is so sick I want him to go to St. Pauls.  He did not look sick. He was in his wheelchair. One of the nurses said he didn't have a temperature for three days and he was fine but of course she did not know of this new directive.  Also two othere friends who are registered nurses retired saw Randy at GPC on Wednesday and Thurssday and told me that Randy was in good health. I took his temperature which was 37.5; his heat rate was 99 and his SAT.O2 was 92.  Nothing to indicate a problem. I asked Randy if Dr. Dunne came to see him and he said no.  
Dr. Dunn who did this order is a liar; they is nothignwrong with Randy except he is slowly dying and they are  not allowing me to be at his bedside. Randy has been a  hostage for months. I have a lawyer's letter that says I can have access to Randy because of a representation agreement that I have access to him 24/7, access to his medical records, and access to his medical personnel which GPC has been denying me. 
The strict law of trespass cannot be used in this case.
Also I notice that Randy's $ 600 television isn't the one I purchased for him and the ear phones do not work so he has nothing to listen to. The volume is so low I couldn't even hear it. A friend said the expensive Xmas comforter that I purchased for him at Christmas is gone. Having me banned only invites staff to steal.
 The police were called but I left before they arrived.
 So much drama for a Friday afternoon.

When I returned home I read this email which confirms that GPC is imprisoning him.  Randy has a right to see who he wants when he wants and I have the right to see him when I want as well.  Since I am supposedly banned from GPC I have been seeing Randy once a week on the curb public sidewalk on 70th.  Even if Randy is sick it is his decision to see me or not.  Randy is dying and VCH is preventing us from being together.  Randy is extremely depressed and this continued separation will only continue his depression to the point he may never reach normalcy again.

Dr. Dunne offers no proof that he can't go out of GPC for five or ten minutes.  he is doing everything to defect attention from the fact that he nearly killed Randy on two occaions with a DNR and a DNT.  If it wasn't for me called 911 against the argument of staff that Randy cannot be transferred to VGH becasue of Dunne's orders Randy would have been dead.  By separating me and Randy, he is making sure that Randy becomes incompetent through terror. Dividing us also ensures that Randy will not trust me as he looks to me to save him from abuse..

I also still do not understand why Dr. Dunne is Randy's physician and Randy doesn't want him near him.  Also the wording of Richard's version of Dr. Dunne's order invites the interpretation that Randy isn't even allowed to go to VGH if he is in distress.

This Dr. Dunne isn't Randy's physician therefore this Order is not of any consequence legally or otherwise.

Hi Audrey,

Please be aware that Dr. Dunne does not feel that Randy is well enough medically to go outside of GPC for the visits that you are requesting.  He has written an order stating that Randy is “not to be off the unit except for physio and Living room under supervision”.  As such, your visit today as well as any future curbside visits will be cancelled.  We will inform you if and when this order is changed and these visits can resume.  Thank you.

Georgia Straight

This is the notice placed in the Georgia Straight last week. I was told by VCH that the ad is disrespectful.  VCH views the truth as being disrespectful. If this wasn't bad enough on December 26 2013 Randy needed acute care again and this time there was a Do Not Remove Order on him.  His heart rate was 142 plus and it took three hours at VGH before it went down to 135.  Again, if I wasn't there the nurses would not have noticed Randy heading for a cardiac arrest as the heart monitor was turned off.  Heart monitors are deliberately turned off so staff doesn't have to tend to the alarms.  The monitor is on but the audio is off.  And what do they do to me they ban me.  You would think they would welcome me to ensure that Randy will be safe but no I am forced from Randy by the use of the trespass act and the force of the police.  And if Randy's died on December 26, 2013, no one would attribute it to the alarm being off; it would be a natural death. 

Injunction

Audrey Laferriere audreyjlaferriere@gmail.com	6:05 PM (2 minutes ago)
to Richard

I was researching at the library how to do an injunction and to get costs for what you have done to me and Randy.  If the media won't pay attention to me I assure you the courts will.  You have imprisoned Randy, you have taken away my rights to be his representative, you have tried to kill him with an a Do Not Resuscitate that he did not consent to, and you expect me to shut up. Forget it. 

And then on top of it, you saying that putting a notice in the Georgia Straight is disrespectful is nothing more than a threat so that I will never see Randy again.  There is such a thing as free speech and I have the right to express my opinions whether VCH likes it or not or where and how I express them. 

Trespass Act not to imprison

Audrey Laferriere audreyjlaferriere@gmail.com	4:20 AM (0 minutes ago)
to district4

I was told that the purpose of the trespass act was to prevent trespass for those with criminal intent. It is not to be used as a vehicle to imprison someone which is what is happening with Randy.  There has been no suggestion that I am a harm to Randy. 

This whole scenario is only to keep me from talking about what happened on November 18 2013, the day Randy should have died.  Dunne knew or should have known that a Do Not Resuscitate Order would mean certain death for Randy as Randy had a temperature that afternoon and without access to acute care he would have died.

VCH is using the trespass act to imprison Randy and cause him psychological harm.  Just to remind you Randy is bedridden and cannot speak or communicate easily.  I am sure he is terrified of most of the staff at GPC.

How is it a man who tried to kill Randy on November 18 2013 is still his doctor. 

Public policy demands that Randy's rights be guaranteed.

This morning being Sunday I called Randy's Ward 2 to ask about him.  The nurse said I could not talk to Randy and neither could she talk to me.  What is George Pearson Centre doing: imprisoning Randy.  These uneducated health care professional better start educating themselves.  GPC are cruel heartless and totally without ethics.  They should know that Randy's psychological health is in jeopardy and they just continue to ignore him. But of course if you can't see what is happening that makes it even worse.

I am sure the woman I spoke to this morning was Stephanie the one that started the October 22nd 2013 incident and kept;lying about it.  She must lie other wise she would be in the wrong. She is still in the wrong.  She got a hoard of staff to attack me on Ward 2 and then say it was I who attacked them. 

I am Randy's Representative and if VCH doesn't follow the law how can any of us trust it.  They putt DNR Orders are patients without them knowing, they don't tell patients or even family members the truth about the care the person is getting.

 And now my restrictions are getting more tight.

One way of getting around the total three month ban was that I would ask that Randy be taken to the curbside so I could be with him for ten minutes and now they are indicating that only when it is convenient to them; no weekends; no evenings.  No phone calls.  I do not understand who they protecting or do they just do not want me to talk to any of the residents or families at GPC.  I think it is the latter.

What they did to Randy was criminal.  Putting a DNR Order on him without his consent and even when he wasn't terminal in the hope that he gets a pneumonia and his temperature rises and his heart rate speeds to a cardiac arrest.  VCH are deflecting from the issue.

I will ask the police for their policy re imprisonment and hopefully they can lay a charge against GPC.

A friend of ours called and said the security was interfering with  him to see Randy.  I phoned Ward 2 to clear this up and the RN as soon as she recognized my voice hung up on me.   I was told last week that visitors could visit as long as they want and now it is only fifteen minutes.  Policies change so quickly at GPC.

My friend said a security guard stood in front of Randy and my friend could not continue the visit and he was told that he was being asked to leave.  Provocation., GPC is really good at it.  And of course Stephanie is in the backgound and now my friend said that the police were called and are there now. And Karen the manager of secuirty was there.  This manager is incapable of seeing the truth either.   And GPC threatened two other friends last week with calling the police. Why is it that nothing happens to these dysfunctionals and we are paying for them to play..  .
 

Wanted a Media Advocate to see MLA Moira Stilwell otherwise I can't talk to her

The following is a dumb email from my MLA Dr. Moira Stilwell.  She will only meet with me if I have with me a media advocate.  

So an invite is open for any media people to attend with me and speak to Moira.  She can tell me again after three years being when I approached her that I should NOT take the actions of GPC personally as they are just being overly cautious. By the government giving absolute power to the health authority there is no way to reason with VCH.  In fact a month after I attended an open board meeting with Kip Woodward I was promised that I could have an independent investigation done (this was in 2011) and then Linda Rose told me a month later that there would be no investigation.  Even the chairman of the board has no power over these idiots.  There is no health authority for the people; it is the silence like the silence of the mafia that operates.  Since the medical system is the biggest employer in the City, it is easy to understand.

Again

1.  Randy has the right to be part of his treatment and they are denying him this.  I am his psychological treatment.

2.  So what has VCH done, they have delegated this most import aspect of his care to a social worker who will phone me at 2:30 in the afternoon five days a week.  A social worker. A social worker with three social working degrees who walks by Randy and asks one of the nurses if he is okay. Never seriously ill since January 29 2014, the date of my 100% total ban from all VCH properties: not just GPC but ALL properties.  Why would I be banned from their warehouse.

3.  As Randy's representative I have a right to have access to him at any time, I also have a right to see his medical binder at any time, and also I have the right to speak to any and all medical personnel that attend to him.

And how do you enforce it, you can't  Just a sliver of hope amongst all the roadblocks. I may be able to see Randy for ten minutes once a week if I am respectful..  Being respectful or not being respectful has nothing to do with my rights under the Representation Agreement as I am Randy's proxy and VCH is hindering me from doing my lawful job. And VCH uses the resources of the police as it is more cost effective to have the police attend  remove the object then to resolve any issue.  Change the initial reason then it comes to trespass "black and white law" and the fear of being charged and imprisoned.  No wonder no one visits GPC often.  After one such episode you don't come back.  Because the law is the law.

I was told two days ago by a lawyer that VCH bans people all the time.

 (As a side issue: another lawyer at the Bentley court case who told me that doctors put DNRs on patients all the time without telling the patient or the family: be scared not only for your loved one but for yourself unless you want to commit suicide.  Randy is still alive and doing well ...November 18 2013 when I forced the removal of the DNR while he was actively dying. He would have died within minutes.  November 18, December 18, January 18, February 26: four more months of life and maybe years) 

No one wants to admit that they have been baned; no one wants to be looked upon being a trouble maker. I put my head at the base of Randy's bed and a nurse came up to me and said "sleeping wasn't allowed" security attended and the police were called. This is called budgetting resources; download it to another department. .

Moira knows this and she doesn't give a damn.  I guess there must be something to do with public policy that silence will be the only way to keep health care costs down.  All staff has been instructed at GPC not to talk to me either on or off site. I can't give talk to Randy on the phone unless a visitor calls me from his bedside.  What visitor.  Neither can the residents or visitors for fear of what I do not know.  But that is the way it is. Randy can't even use his hands to use the call bell considering he is hidden behind curtains; he can't even call out for help.  What monster VCH is.

Hi Audrey,

I just read your letter of February 22 2013, there is not  to be any doctor's orders on Randy so why is there.  As you know I have to approve every order.  I want to see the legislation that says a doctor has power over me.  I expect this section in the legislation by return email.

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.
