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

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

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.

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.
