Everything posted I believe to be true. If not, please let me know.
The minutes from the September 10 2019 meeting of the residents' council for the George Pearson Centre give us a further example of the indignity of living in a congregative institution. The second item of business from the manager's report is a notice regarding Do No Resuscitate Orders. DNRS tags have been "affixed" to the back of the wheelchairs of those residents who agreed to a Do Not Resuscitate Order. DNRs are personal health-care decisions. Having them located on the back of your wheelchair means that everyone you come into contact with including strangers, will know one of the most personal decisions you have made. Institutional life strips you of your dignity, your rights and your autonomy. You are reduced to a DNR tag on the back of a wheelchair.
I do not understand why the public cannot access who are the "clients" of the Public Guardian and Trustee in British Columbia. Not only can "clients" go into hiding, the PGT does not have to tell anyone that a "client" is even a "client." Privacy does not cut it. The PGT can literally take you off the street and disappear you. That is medieval. That is North Korean. That has to change. I have the right to know what happened to my neighbour.
How can such deaths be lost by legislation. This oversite goes to Rocco Galati and his retelling of current Canadian history (see In Conversation with Rocco Galati May 10 2023 on librti.com).
In my quest to understand what happened to me, I asked Vancouver Health Authority particulars of those that work for the Department of Risk Management. Those that bully are always part of a group and every group has a leader. I did not expect their names although it would seem appropriate but they could have sent me the number that are employed in the department and their education/experience. Specifically, I wanted to know how many had psychology degrees. I was driven to the extreme edge of madness and I want to know why. If you want to control someone you gaslight her and slowly watch her come apart. Those that designed the militaristic torture policies for the USA all had advanced degrees in psychology.
Everyone that works for a health authority should have a public bio of who they are.
We the public are thrown into a den of lions when we try to advocate for the injured and sick and we do not know by whom.
In 2010 VGH had blasted on its walls its policy of "Mean Management" and I also asked for particulars on this policy and nothing.
Yesterday afternoon I was searching for information on the BC Privacy Act
It was a frustrating rabbit hole to manipulate
No resolution there
This morning at 5:00 am I woke up to listening to a YouTube podcast (playlist) about privacy issues
This isn't the first time this weirdness has happened
I would search something on google (I never searched for it on YouTube) and I wake up
hearing a podcast, specifically the part that I was interested/confused about.I can't sleep unless I have noise in the background
The voices distract me so I can defocus from my everyday problems that were on my mind and fall asleep
It must be some AI thing. Google must be hooked up to YouTube
And it has the power to wake me in mid night The best I can tell is that the government should only be legislating privacy laws for the public interest (national security)
and not for the interests of private or corporate individuals. Private and corporate individuals as a means to do business can have their own privacy policies.
Since social media is going crazy with posts being deleted, I have decided to duplicate my posts on a new website.
I have reserved the name: edgeofmadness.me
The name was inspired from Dr. Jordan Peterson when he described his experiences with dealing with his litigations.
He said they drove him to the "edge of madness."
I went past the edge of madness as I did not have a battery of lawyers, or money, or family, or colleagues, or inside knowlege to
support me like Dr. Peterson had. And I was thirty years older than him. I was on my own trying to cope while suffering from acute PTSD. It was untenable.
I went to revist the definition of what "doubling down" meant. It means to agressively go after someone. Thank you Joel Morris,
the lead litigator, for the Canadian Medical Physicians Association, for threatening me. Since I really did not know what Joel
meant at the time, technically I should not describe it as a threat.
I keep thinking about equality. One thing I know for sure is that there is no equality in the courts.
If each party to a litigation has a lawyer then the process might be defined as being equal.
But what about those that do not have a lawyer. How could that even remotely be considered equal.
I am advocating that no one should be allowed in a higher court like the supreme court or appeal court
unless they are represented by a lawyer. Then equality will be a bit more equal.
I was told by David Bell, lawyer for the Vancouver Health Authority, that emails and other notes were not relevant.
This was against my understanding of what discovery of documents meant in a litigation proceeding.
Each party has to disclose everything even the kitchen sink.
If the documents were not relevant who decides what is relevant.
It seems that David Bell decides what is relevant or is not relevant.
Does that mean David Bell will only produce documents that are good for his client and other documents that could provide
evidence to the detriment of Bell's client do not have to be disclosed.
This is bizarre.
In the Dominion v. Fox case, Tucker Carlson produced all his emails i.e. the kitchen sink.
I would assume that it would have been up to Dominion to decide if documents are relevant or not.
Maybe in the US document discovery is different than in Canada.
I am very confused.
I do not know why this video is not being shared although it is still on YouTube.
The reason I want to post it as I feel that everyone especially professionals/academics should listen to it.
He speaks that speaking out is worth it. Speaking out has cost him a lot but he has had the
support of his wife, children, associates and others and he also has access to a battery of
lawyers which he said was very expensive and I had none of these supports.
How could I try to make VCHA be made accountable as they are
petty tyrants and authorative. Recently I attempted to contact a person who tried to help me many years ago.
I was told that he had retired so I did not expect him to say to me that , "I cannot engage." Even after
all these years he is afraid.
I spent time again reviewing the legislation on how the PGT/VCHA could have cancelled/suspended my Enduring Power of |Attorney. I couldn't find anything in the legislative Acts. The only one who could have rescinded my EPA would have been my husband. In the "world" of the PGT, maybe there is a regulation that says it can cancel an EPA but there would have to be some "paperwork." This serious legal issue could be why the Defendant Litigants pushed for this litigation to be dismissed. They wanted it forgotten and hidden in the pleadings. I remember complaining to the Ombudsperson Mr.Chalke in person about the PGT and he said I could appeal it. What arrogance. I remember looking at him in dismay. The PGT can make a mistake maybe by design and I could appeal it. Mistakes by the PGT should not have happened in the first place. But then maybe the PGT deliberately did this, knowing that I would never appeal it or even know I could appeal it as I had no money and it would be impossible to hire a lawyer. At no time before the Certificate of Incapability was issued did the PGT say that they were going to rescind the EPA by way of a secret administrative court.
The more I think about what VCHA tried to do to me i.e. attempting to charge me with criminal harassment, the more scared I feel. How could it defame me. And, it was done with the advice of their lawyers or one of their risk management people. It had to be both. I once asked risk management for a list of its employees and what university degrees each had and I never received a reply. I was driven to be so crazy in my head I was looking for "why." I wanted to know if these employees had degrees in "behavioural psychology." A degree in how to control people "brainwashing." How to "gaslight." I still would like to know. Such information should be public knowledge. And I feel safe that the police refused to proceed with the bogus charge.Those with power forget that it only takes one person to derail them. In my case two burly police officers.
The King v. Neall Epstein (go to 12.20.00 minute on the YouTube video).
I am more than angry. Towards the end of the video, it was pointed out that Neall Epstein if found guilty of nonsense he could have lost his job as a teacher and he would lose $20,000 paying a lawyer for defending his case at trial without any recourse to get the money reimbursed.
This is what Dr. Dunne attempted to do to me. I remember when the burly police officers were at my residence. A neighbour told me later that there were two police cars there, and she wanted to know what the two burly police officers wanted. The police briefly spoke to me and left. This attempt to criminally charge me should be enough for Dr. Dunne to have his medical licence taken away from him considering he has a higher standard of conduct in the eyes of the courts to behave. I do not blame Dr. Dunne, I blame VCHA and their lawyer, David Bell. I remember saying to the burly police officers why were they trying to criminally charge me as this should be civil. I might have been wrong about that as I do not know if you can sue someone civilly for harassment. But then I am not a lawyer.
Depending on the wordsmithing of what happened to Randy and me our story is far more bizarrely hilarious than of Epstein's. It might have cost him $20,000 for legal costs, but it cost me substantially more. I wanted the case to be dropped as I was ill but the lawyers refused. I sent Morris an email and he never answered it. Morris was the lawyer who took the position of being the spokesperson for all the ligating lawyers and he was being paid by the union (the insurer for the physicians). I went over their heads and contacted Victoria. I had to be punished.
When Nurse Ratchet decided to come after me, I was nearly 70 years old and weighed 110 pounds. A far cry from the 180 pounds I weighed before Randy was imprisoned by VCHA. I remember the first social worker I talked to at VCHA who said that I should just forget about Randy as they would look after him. I do not know who "they" were but I wasn't going to talk to that social worker ever again. Later my lawyer said Randy was imprisoned. During the six months Randy was at VGH, I visited him every single day, taking a bus from the far easterly side of Burnaby. I had no money, and I remember standing on the street near VGH asking for money so that I could pay for the fee ($20.00) rent now and then so that Randy could have access to paid TV. I remember the social worker nurse said that Randy did not qualify for a free TV. Randy was disabled, bedridden, and he could not talk. I was always exhausted and I would fall asleep on his bed, at the end of his bed curled up in a fetal position. The nurses would pass by and cover me.
The only reason Randy lived so long was that VGH was a teaching hospital, and he was used as a specimen as he had complex injuries for the training of new physicians. I knew that at that time, and I was grateful to the young doctors for keeping him alive. Dr. Dunne should have been charged for attempting to charge me falsely criminally. He got off lightly. Maybe he should be charged now. VCH should be charged as an accessory as well. I remember what one of the burly police officers said to me at that time but I do not know if it was confidential or not. The burly two police officers used "discretion" which was absent in the Epstein case.
PS I was thinking about why VCHA wanted me to be charged with criminal harassment. It would make me a criminal and the PGT would take over Randy's care. And during the interim, from being charged to becoming convicted, I would become more than a basket case than I was already. How evil.
How interesting. From reading about the case of the King v. Neall Epstein (Rebel News and MSN Canada Press (March 10, 2023)) I learned what criminal harassment is. It involves stalking.
During my interaction with Vancouver Coastal Health, it went so far as to have Dr. Dunne attempt to lay a criminal charge against me for criminal harassment. I did not follow Dr. Dunne around. Truth is if I saw him on the street today I won't be able to recognize him. Burly police officers showed up at my door. So where did Dr. Dunne get the education to do that. I suspect it was from his employer, VCH, and its lawyer, David Bell. Maybe Joe Morris of Harper Gray had something to do with it as he was the lawyer for the union that defends physicians. I guess this is what is called co-opted "litigation strategy." Or, win by any means possible. Just gaslight the woman from her rights. This should be easy as she has PTSD.
But then thinking back maybe criminal harassment includes emails. Dr. Dunne said I sent him what could be interpreted as hundreds of emails. He referred to these emails in an affidavit. When I asked for the emails the lawyers for him (VCH) said I was not entitled to them. The litigation involved an injunction wherein I wanted to see my husband and such evidence did not have to be given to me. In other words, you can lie in affidavits and get away with it. I sent a lot of emails but they were mostly directed to VCHA not Dr. Dunne.
The interesting thing about the King v. Neall Epstein case (Justice Galiatsatos) said that the complainant should have been charged with various criminal charges, not Neall Epstein.
When my litigation started I really really really believed that the lawyers would tell VCH that they were being ridiculous and for them to just let me see my husband. My husband was dying so why couldn't I see him. But of course, lawyers just do what their clients tell them. All of us know that this is not true.
I want to know why Randy was put in a private room at George Pearson Centre?
Romilda was the manager at GPC, and she told me to remove most of Randy's possessions.
Previously, Randy had a space in an open ward with only a tiny wardrobe cupboard. The private room had a lot of space.
She was trying to make her life easier as she knew Randy was going to die. A body is easier to dispose of if a dead person does not have any possessions.
These past
few days have been a “lost.” On Monday I could not sleep as I was afraid I
would not wake up as I had to be at court at 8:45 am Tuesday. The case was adjourned/cancelled. It took me until now to feel like I recovered
from the lack of sleep. I am receiving
at least 200 emails a day, mostly informational types, things I am interested
in but have no time to read them. Call it “overload.” I have been trying to get FOI information
from VGH, but nothing is forthcoming. VCHA successfully dismissed my litigation, and now they are keeping back information, so I cannot understand what happened. These emails would surely tell me. No one else is interested; I just want to know. What piqued my interest in this now history is
that David Bell, the lawyer for VCHA, while in the litigation, did not complete a
demand for discovery of documents, that is, give to me all the emails, etc., that VCHA has and which would still be in his possession. I mentioned this to the justice at the
dismissal, and she did not deem it important enough to pursue. She said that it was in all parties' interests for her to decide to dismiss the action. Whose interest … Later, I asked the court registry if I could get a message to the justice for an explanation, the registry said "no."
I should not have said we were destroyed by the actions of VCHA and their hired help. I am still alive but because of their unkind actions, I am still distracted. I cannot find pleasure in anything. Professionals are still disappointing me. You would think as time passed things would have been forgotten but instead they are becoming more intensified. I find myself in periods with tears each day. I am forced to stay home. The regret will not go away.
I can't stop thinking back to when Randy had his accident. Although it has been many years, it was as it was yesterday. I can see and feel what I was going through. The trauma of it all. The accident was an accident but what I had to go through with VCH was no accident. From the moment I found out that VCH secretly moved Randy from VGH to GPC, I was targeted. I can still hear the head nurse, Tanu, saying that she had the power to make sure that I never see my husband again, not even on his deathbed. I did not know why she would say that. And her "power" did happen. I was also told that I was not allowed to speak to anyone unless I was spoken to first. I taught she was crazy. I did not argue with her, I just ignored her. She also told me that I could not touch my husband; not even hold his hand or touch his bed. What was Randy thinking! He was disabled and could not talk. What a terrible person she was. At that time I did not think too much about her. Later I concluded she was a Nurse Ratchet. She was so sure of herself that she did not even notice that I had a friend "witness" with me at that time who heard all this and told me later that she could not believe Tanu would say what she said. I did not take much note as it was just talk. I had no belief at that time that this woman would eventually destroy my life and that of my husband's.
Upon rereading the newspaper accounts on the Warriner case I might be led to believe that Stephanie was trying to leave the hospital and security tried to stop her. It had nothing to do with her wearing a mask or not. She might have been trying to escape and security attacked her. This is what happened to me when I tried to leave a hospital of VGH. Personnel had no knowledge that they cannot imprison a patient. I tried to remove my husband as he was in a wheelchair and he did not want to stay at GPC. The police were called and no charges were laid against VCH or Paladin security. Or me. I expected apologies but none came. Instead, they created a scenario which took three months to discredit me and caused severe psychological harm to my husband.
I just finished reading about the Stephanie Warriner case (Toronto area Hospital) wherein she was put in a wheelchair while limp and my mind went back to April 4 2016 when the interim pro bono lawyer I had went to George Pearson Centre to check on my husband and he advised me that my husband was in his wheelchair sleeping and everything was good.
If he was so good why was it that my husband was transferred within one hour to VGH. He subsequently died.
If the lawyer did not attend, my husband would surely have died as he was allegedly sleeping in his wheelchair, perhaps staged for the benefit of my lawyer, so no one would have noticed if he was in silent respiratory distress. Although very fragile, he wasn't hooked up to any monitors. He was supposed to have been on the protocol CPR but I suspect, like before, he was on an illegal slow code (December 26, 2013). The manager became afraid and did not want his death on her watch and called 911. Like Jordan Peterson said: the truth always rises.
The sister of Stephanie, in the CTV report January 18 2023 said her family endured trauma which is "indescribable" and is an "ongoing grief" that "never ends." My grief caused by VGH is the same. Maybe worse ... as it was not so cut-and-dry.
I keep thinking about what happened on that Boxing day. The staff at GPC did nothing for an hour. They did not check his vitals or give him oxygen, they just waited for one hour to see if he would die. He didn't so they then phoned 911. Randy was hospitalized previously most of the year at VGH and he did not want to be returned to GPC. He was afraid. VGH returned him to GPC to die. He was placed rather than in the open ward in a private room, which is where they place those that are going to die or they want them to die, and they close the door ... When I visited him I was not allowed to talk to anyone. And no one would tell me anything although I was his wife. Besides being his wife I had what proved to be useless documents them being a health representation agreement and an enduring power of attorney. Both of which VCH gave no credence to. They just ghosted me. The doctor on call that night was Dr, Richard Hay who put Randy on a "slow code."
I was recalling December 26th when I went to see Randy at George Pearson Centre and discovered he was in medical distress. He was out-of-it. I called for someone to call 911 and no one did. I do not know what they did as they ignored him and they waited one hour at which time I called 911 and was told that GPC had just called 911and they were on their way. When the paramedic looked at Randy, she said to the GPC staff why did not someone call 911 earlier. The woman was pissed off. She wanted to know why the heart monitor was shut off. The GPC staff just stood there saying nothing. Randy was taken to VGH Emergency and I waited for three hours before his heart rate decreased to a reasonable level. He would have died that night if I was not there. The staff at GPC would have just let him die. I do not know why VCH and 911 did not investigate why GPC staff did not attend to Randy sooner. At VGH they wanted to disconnect his life support.
Patients with DNR therefore die sooner, even from causes unrelated to CPR. A study grouped 26,300 very sick hospital patients in 2006-10 from the sickest to the healthiest, using a detailed scale from 0 to 44. They compared survival for patients at the same level, with and without DNR orders. In the healthiest group, 69% of those without DNR survived to leave the hospital, while only 7% of equally healthy patients with DNR survived. In the next-healthiest group, 53% of those without DNR survived, and 6% of those with DNR. Among the sickest patients, 6% of those without DNR survived, and none with DNR.[19]
If you want a better survival rate for yourself do not agree to a DNR.
Years ago Wikipedia did not report on these stats.
The severe PTSD injury I suffered because of the way VCH treated me is still with me and at times gets very intense. VCH did not have to target me with the revenge of one of their employees. It was horrific and unconscionable. One employee who believed that she was doing the right thing. The first time I was interviewed by her she said that she had the power that she could make sure that I never see my husband ever again, not even on his deathbed. And it came to pass. It was many years ago but I can still hear her words...
Yesterday was a remarkable day. I was free of the veil of being overwhelmed (depressed) to the point that I had the energy to do things that I was too paralyzed to do before. I look forward to seeing that today will be remarkable as well.
The Law Society of British Columbia ensures the public is well served by legal professionals who are honourable and competent. We regulate the legal profession in BC, protecting the public interest in the administration of justice by setting and enforcing standards of professional conduct for lawyers.
I recently discovered Jordan Peterson and what I got out of him is that there are only two things we have in life and that is our reputation and the truth. And the truth may not surface for three, five or seven years later. And it does not have to be the truth that is narrowly defined by the law.
I have been waking my body being soaking wet these past few days reliving the past litigation. I am beginning to think that post-litigation is worse than when the litigation was ongoing. I remember the lawyer for Dr. Dunn saying that he was going to double down with me: a harshness that was unnecessary. I can hear his words in my head now. And why did Richard Singleton, director of risk management for Vancouver Coastal Health. also say the same thing. Are they wife beaters.
The litigation was dismissed. I do not really know why as there are multiple reasons in my head. I can't get a clear answer from anyone involved. The best I can tell, it was a technicality (or technicalities). When you are in a court hearing, things are happening so fast and you do not have time to comprehend what is happening. You can't reference YourTube. And then it is over and you do not fully understand why. To understand why I would have to engage a lawyer if I can find one who would be willing to decipher what happened, which will cost money. Since there was no trial, the allegations set out in the amended notice of civil claim are unanswered so they are still true. Dismissing an action only means that it cannot be litigated again. It does not mean that the parties are cleared of any wrongdoing. I do not know why the defendants' lawyers insisted that the action be dismissed. You would think that the defendants would want the truth to be known. And I do not know why the hearing justice concurred with them. When I asked scheduling (the court) for an explanation, I was told that it was not possible to communicate with the justice. Maybe it is best that I do not know.
Awhile back I was at the bus stop waiting for a bus. I noticed a group of white cars go by and it sparks my attention. The cars looked different (new) and they were silent. I followed them with my eyes and there were all Telsas After that I noticed every third car that went by was a Telsa. Later I checked the model out on the internet and I realized that Vancouver had the most Telsas in Canada. It shocked me. I was out of touch with the world this past decade. Everything seemed different. I looked up over Oakridge and I counted thirteen high rise cranes. The City is changing.
For over a year now I have been having severe mobility problems and I am fed-up with this distraction. My aunt had problem with her legs as she aged and I wanted to knew the name of her doctor so I could converse with him as my disability might be heredity. I tried to contact the executor of her estate and then the executor's lawyer. The lawyer followed the executor's instructions and would not give me the name of her doctor.
It has been twelve years and one month since Randy had his accident. What a long time. A decade plus two years. What happened is still distracting. I wish he was here. We were supposed to die together, not this way. His life meant something to me.
I thought that emotional pain was distracting but physical pain is worse.
for months now I have been suffering from unrelenting pain. I do not know what is causing it but I wish it would disappear as I have so many things to do and I can't do them.
At the moment this computer is acting up and my phones the same. I am going to get a landline as all this coputer stuff only works if you are a computer nerd.
Because it is difficult for me to move I find I am sleeping a lot.
I am watching Ottawa and I am reading that the authorities would be seizing pets of the truckers and to retrieve the pets the truckers would have to pay for the seizures. It reminded me when I was told by VCHA after it seized my husband that I could only see him with security and I would have to pay security $30.00 an hour. I could not even afford a bus pass and they were going to do this to me.
It has been twelve years since my husband had his accident. Twelve long years. I still remember the first time I spoke with the head nurse at George Pearson Centre. She told me that she had the power to make sure that I would never see my husband again not even on his death bed. She said this even before I was able to say a word. .I thought her crazy. But it came to pass. I was sixty-five years old at that time.
During my troubles only one person said a comforting thing to me. She was a NP and she said that I was only trying to be friendly. She was trying to apologize for the behavior of VCHA. I am wrong there was another employee. I had forgotten about Marion.
I am finally I think coming out of the psychological abuse inflicted upon me by VCHA. First by VCHA and then by its lawyers. Lawyers are suppose to ameliorate a situations but that isn't what happened. I had to accept that they were just following orders from its client.. Where have we heard that before.
In April 2014 I had a lawyer for a few days. This lawyer was referred to me by Carole Brown, who was at that time the manager of RayCam Community Centre. I always wondered why she ghosted me after. The lawyer's name was Don Morrison. He also ghosted me. I have always wondered what did he say to Carole for her to never talk to me again.
