Randy's Stuff and Ro Ang and the Carter decision

I still haven't completely unpacked Randy's stuff from George Pearson Centre. Even getting his stuff was difficult.  Ro Ang, the manageress, decided that I couldn't even get a few articles from his belongings so I could place them in his coffin as they belonged to the Public Guardian and Trustee.  She had his stuff thrown in plastic garbage bags and put in a public area so anyone could access them.

She won't even let me go to his memorial service at George Pearson Centre.  I will never forgive her for that.

I cannot understand her. A woman who is a Christian, goes to church each Sunday, and visits her mother in a rest home daily.  She is guilty of doubling.  She has two lives.  The one at work; and the one off work.  One morality for herself off-site and one for her charges who she has conduct until they die and they do die. They all have DNRs and DNTs.  A death sentence.  That is the purpose of George Pearson she told me in front of a witness. Even an undertaker has more compassion than her.  She was part of the group that decided that I should never see Randy again so he would die alone.  And he did die alone. Although I finally got a court order, it was too late, he did not know I was there. How could they do this.

Where do these ill-trained dysfunctional medical frontline professionals come from. She was part of the legion who decided that I wasn't good for Randy and she and others made sure that my power of attorney was taken away from me as well as my representation agreement. I went to see Randy every single day that they allowed me to. The reason I wasn't good for Randy was because Randy wanted to live and I fought for this and GPC wanted him to die. With all the $resources that VCH has they could not accommodate Randy so he could be with me as he died.  What was I suppose to do, go into a patient's room with a teddy bear which was what caused me to be banned in 2011.  There is no excuse for what they did.  To date I have no detail knowledge of the legal reasons for the assessment except a letter dated April 4 2014 that usurped my powers without explanation.

April 4 2014 was also the day I went to George Pearson Centre with a pro bono lawyer to see Randy and Ro said I couldn't see Randy.  Randy died April 13 2014.

I am sure it was Ro who instructed the RT who I asked to give evidence at a hearing at the College of Physicians and Surgeons not to, as to do so might change the outcome of the hearing.  GPC couldn't have anyone tell the truth to the College.

There is a saying about tangled webs being woven when one attempts to deceive.This is true of VCH.

And to think that I can get the medical profession to kill me (Carter decision) as I haven't been able to get a hearing (i.e. an independent investigation as promised by Kip Woodward, the Chair of Vancouver Coastal Health, in 2011 as to why I was bullied and subsequently banned by VCH) as the psychological pain "guilt" as not doing enough to save Randy's life is intolerable. The doctors according to the law and constitution will have to kill me: a welcomed painless death, if I asked them.  It is not their call; it is mine. This is "autonomy" of the individual. The Supreme Court decision is so broad, it is ridiculous.

And do not think this won't happen, because of confidentiality between patient and doctor, no one would know. Think again. You can die and your family need never know because as in life and in death you have the right to confidentiality and so do the doctors.

Section 241 (b) and s. 14  of the Criminal Code  unjustifiably infringe s. 7  of the Charter  and are of no force or effect to the extent that they prohibit physician-assisted death for a competent adult person who (1) clearly consents to the termination of life and (2) has a grievous and irremediable medical condition (including an illness, disease or disability) that causes enduring suffering that is intolerable to the individual in the circumstances of his or her condition.

Is the Canadian goverment behind Euthanasia to save money.

"Big Business" and Assisted Suicide By Margaret Dore, Esq., MBA* Assemblyman Roger Hernandez was recently quoted as concerned that big business would use California's assisted suicide proposal, SB 128, to "guide people in that direction," meaning early death via a lethal overdose. This is a valid concern. I am an attorney in Washington State where assisted suicide is legal. Our law is based on a similar law in Oregon. Both laws are similar to SB 128, which seeks to legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia in California. In Oregon, it is well documented that Oregon's Medicaid program uses coverage incentives to steer people to suicide.  See Affidavit of Oregon doctor, Ken Stevens, pp 3-4 at https ://maasdocuments.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/dr-stevens-affidavit_001.pdf   With legal assisted suicide, private health plans have this same ability.  Dr. Stevens states: If assisted suicide is legalized in [your state], your government health plan could follow a similar pattern.  Private health plans could also follow this pattern.  If so, these plans would pay for you and/or your family to die, but not to live.  (Emphasis added). Id, ¶16. Dr. Stevens also notes that the mere presence of legal assisted suicide steers people to suicide, which was the case with his patient Jeanette Hall.  Her cancer treatment was fully covered, but with the existence of Oregon's law, she nonetheless became adamant that she would kill herself.  Dr. Stevens convinced her to be treated instead.  (Affidavit, ¶¶ 5-9).  She is alive today, fifteen years later. As for Assemblyman Hernandez's specific "big business concern," in 2013, a Montana State Senator made a similar observation: I found myself wondering, Where does all the lobby money come from?  If it really is about a few terminally ill people who might seek help ending their suffering, why was more money spent on promoting assisted suicide than any other issue in Montana? Could it be that convincing an ill person to end their life early will help health insurance companies save a bundle on what would have been ongoing medical treatment?  How much would the government gain if it stopped paying social security, Medicare, or Medicaid a few months early? [it could actually be years earlier].  How much financial relief would pension systems see?  Why was the proposed law to legalize assisted suicide [SB 220] written so loosely?  Would vulnerable old people be encouraged to end their life unnecessarily early by those seeking financial gain? http://www.montanansagainstassistedsuicide.org/2013/06/beware-of-vultures-senator-jennifer.html Finally, there is the expansion issue. In Washington State, we have had informal "trial balloon" proposals to expand our law to non-terminal people. For me, the most disturbing one was in the Seattle Times, which is our largest paper. A column suggested euthanasia as a solution for people without funds in their old age, which could be any of us, say if the company pension plan went broke.** Assemblyman Hernandez is right to be concerned about what could happen to his constituents if SB 128 is passed. Don't let California make Washington and Oregon's mistake.  Urge your legislators to vote "NO" on SB 128. ///            * Margaret Dore is a former Law Clerk to the Washington State Supreme Court and the Washington State Court of Appeals.  She is a former Chair of the Elder Law Section of the ABA Family Law Committee.  She also worked for a year with the United States Department of Justice.  She is president of Choice is an Illusion, a nonprofit corporation opposed to assisted suicide and euthanasia.  To learn more, see www.margaretdore.com and www.choiceillusion.org **  Jerry Large, "Planning for old age at a premium," The Seattle Times, March 8, 2012 ("After Monday's column, . . . a few [readers] suggested that if you couldn't save enough money to see you through your old age, you shouldn't expect society to bail you out. At least a couple mentioned euthanasia as a solution.") (Emphasis added). https://choiceisanillusion.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/jerry-large_001.pdf

Trust doctors and the medical associations. I think not.

http://www.medicaldaily.com/how-did-dr-farid-fata-americas-greatest-cancer-fraudster-get-away-it-so-long-341478

Read this.  Also an account is found in Newsweek and People Magazine.

When a whistleblower attempted to bring to the attention of the Michigan medical association that Dr. Farid Fata was deliberately poisoning  his patients by over treatment, upon its investigation, the regulator said he did no wrong.

Following the money the US government was able to prove that Dr. Fata, a world renowned cancer doctor, was guilty of fraud $35 million and he was sentenced to 45 years in jail.

Dr. Fata by over treating patients caused death and injury to his patients.  His motive was money.

Considering the vastness of this fraud, hundreds of  medical professionals knew or should have known what was going on but did nothing.

When I laid a complaint with the BC College of Physicians and Surgeons I asked a professional employee from Randys medical team at George Person Center of Vancouver Coastal Health to give evidence and I was told by Risk Management that since she was an employee of VCH, VCH would not allow her to say anything.  I do not understand how this is possible. I speculate that telling the truth is against the rule of law in the medical profession. How devastating for employees to work under this tyranny.

Godelieva De Troyer and the dirty deed

Because of Metro Vancouver issuing an air quality advisory because of the climate heat and the smoke in the air, I am staying in until the advisory is lifted.  I am seventy years old and I do not do well in the heat.  The last thing I need is tiny little microns penetrating my respiratory system.  The heat is very uncomfortable.

In The New Yorker there is a letter from Belgium in the June 22 2015 issue: The
Death Treatment.  When should people with a non-terminal illness be helped to die. by Rachel Aviv
http://www.newyorker.com.magazine.2015.06.22the-death-treatment. It tells of a death by euthanasia in which only the doctors knew and the family was not notified until after the dirty deed.  The tragedy of this death was that the woman was not terminally ill or in her nineties. 

The son (Tom Mortier) screamed at the doctor (Wim Distelmans) who did the dirty deed .  You went along with the madness of my mother.  You went along with her tunnel vision, her defeatism.  You have taken away the suffering of one person and transposed it to another.

Belgian law allows euthanasia for patients who suffer from severe and incurable distress including psychological disorders.

The laws seem to have created a new conception of suicide as a medical treatment, stripped of its tragic dimensions.  Patrick Wyffels, a Belgian family doctor, told Rachel Aviv that he sometimes worries about how his own values might influence a patients decision to die or to live.  Depending on communication techniques, Dr. Wyffeks said he might lead a patient one way or the other.

Read the draft of the CMA on euthanasia with fear.

This link is the draft that the Canadian Medical Association is proposing on how doctors are to handle euthanasia.

The only way to counter the Carter decision is for real doctors to refuse to do the dirty deed.

Bruce Langereis, Vancouver Developer, Seeks Local Buyer For $18-Million Penthouse

The Huffington Post B.C.  |  By Andree La

Posted: 06/23/2015 3:18 am EDT Updated: 06/23/2015 7:59 pm EDT

 

If you live at 667 Howe St. in downtown Vancouver, you can’t avoid Bruce Langereis. It’s not only because he’s the developer of the Private Residences at Hotel Georgia; he’s also your most enthusiastic neighbour.

 
The show living room in the 48th-floor penthouse.

Fresh from a trip to Singapore, the president of Delta Land Group apologizes for being jet-lagged, then proceeds to energetically list off features about the 48-storey tower.
Residents can access any of the amenities from the adjoining five-star Hotel Georgia, including catering from Hawksworth restaurant, spa services, maid and room service, valet parking, and use of the saltwater lap pool. Langereis and his company restored the 88-year-old heritage property, which is managed by Rosewood Hotels.
The Private Residences tower, which connects to the hotel on the fourth floor, began pre-sales in 2007 and now has six units remaining on the market.
But they’re no ordinary suites: five sub-penthouses that take up half a floor each, ranging from $7.7 million to $8.1 million — and a true penthouse that covers the entire top floor.
The 6,832 sq.-ft. home offers a glorious 360-degree view from several balconies. One corner of the penthouse is set up as a sumptuous dining/living room for now. The rest is an empty concrete shell, since someone who can afford the $18-million price tag will presumably want to custom-design pretty much everything.

"Selfishly, I’d like to see someone who’s really going to enjoy this and appreciate it and embrace what we’re offering,” said Langereis, stopping short of saying he would veto a potential buyer.
"I could never not do that but I’d be a lot tougher to negotiate with," he offered.
"Let me put it this way, if it’s someone’s who’s going to invite me back for a social up here, I’d probably do a better deal than someone who’s going to buy it and never invite me or invite anybody from the building. Or never be part of the hotel or part of the chemistry of the city."

 
The front entrance of the Private Residences at Hotel Georgia and the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia share the same front door.

Langereis has a "good for them" attitude.
"Bravo, you’re selling it," he said. "But think about that, if you bought there to live there, how are you going to feel if it’s so transient (when people flip their condo).
"It’s not our style. It’s not the way we do things."
Langereis, who flies his own helicopter to go solo camping at remote sites, is willing to be patient.

Looking out the floor-to-ceiling windows toward St. Paul’s Hospital where he was born, Langereis reflects on coming from a "poor family from Europe that immigrated here" and growing up in East Vancouver.
"I don’t want to just follow and do what’s easy, I want to do what’s right," he said.
"This building will be here long after I’m gone. And I don’t want anyone to point at the building with embarrassment.... I’d like them to say, ‘Oh my dad, or I know Bruce, and that’s a great building!’ That’s what I want."
Right now, Langereis wants a local buyer for that $18-million penthouse. And he's got a final pitch.
“One of the advantages to buying here is you get me as a neighbour.”

Was Brittany Maynard coerced into suicide....

Psychologist Questions if Brittany Maynard’s Family Pressured Her to Commit Suicide

National   Steven Ertelt   Jun 18, 2015   |   6:43PM    Washington, DC

When Brittany Maynard killed herself last year in an assisted suicide in Oregon, she has been discussing making such a decision for months leading up to her eventual suicide. But the day before she killed herself with the lethal cocktail, Maynard said it wasn’t the right time to end her life.

The fact that she ultimately took her own life the next day, just 24 hours after saying she wasn’t really ready, is still one of the most perplexing twists in the saga surrounding her life and death.
Now, a psychologist who is affiliated with a group working to stop a bill in the legislature in California, Maynard’s home state, from legalizing assisted suicide, is asking some serious question about whether Maynard may have been pressured by her family to commit suicide before she was truly prepared to do so
.
Psychologist Dr. Mark Hoffman, PhD is affiliated with a California-based group of vulnerable seniors who, he says, are demanding to know what really happened with Brittany Maynard.
“In the most public suicide of modern history, a mysterious event took place which was never explained nor investigated. The current laws in Oregon do not allow for such investigations,” he explained.

Hoffman, of California Seniors Against Suicide, points out that, after months of media manipulation and promises of a November 1 suicide date, Brittany Maynard  stunned the world when she proclaimed on Oct. 31 that she would not kill herself on Nov 1. She had rethought the circumstances, saying “I’ve decided it’s just not the right time.”

“Nevertheless, the next day the family simply announced that she was dead. The schedule was simply followed,” he says. “But what happened? Who was counseling her? How did that counseling go? What pressures did she feel to get back on schedule? She changed her mind and decided to live, but something or someone intervened in that new commitment.”

“As seniors we are well aware that family members and many others with a ‘vested interest’ can give the wrong emotional advice, often even subconsciously manipulating a dependent patient,” Hoffman said. “Those others may not be financial heirs – though very often they are – just the relief of having the ‘burdens of the patient’ off of their hands can be VERY compelling for some third parties. Elder abuse and subtle patient coercion are not uncommon even under current law, and the laws are there specifically to guard against manipulated decisions.”

“At the very least,’ said Hoffman, “The facts clearly tell us that Brittany’s decision was NOT firm. She was clearly emotionally torn and uncertain, and she proclaimed that to the world.”
