I do not want to get old.  I am so tired all the time I can't seem to do anything although I am always doing something.  Just bits and pieces.  I just noticed my $150 blouse from Nordstroms has a rip on the front seam where the buttons are..  I have never ever washed the blouse and now I have to spend an afternoon going downtown and exchanging it.  And since Friday (two Fridays ago my transit pass did not work.  Cliche in the system so I have to attend at the Translink office downtown to get an interim pass. Then I notice out the window a middle-aged man trespassing and he is crushing four large bags of cans.  He said to me that the bus driver would not allow him on the bus as he has too many cans so he has to crush them so he can go downtown and sell them at Together We Can.  Then my computer is acting up and I have to find my way down to London Drugs and maybe they can tell me if it is serious or not.  I have been under additional stress thinking about the litigation and I have chewed off my nails.  I am 75 years old and I am biting my nails. What a state I am in. My vision is failing and my teeth hurt (nerves).  I am totally burnt out.  And I would really like to know what VCHA did to Carolanne.  I was told that she had a no contact order on her. No one knows where she is.  Carolanne most likely does not know she has a no contact order on her and she is angry because no one is visiting her,  I checked with Vital Statistics and the coroner so she is still alive: no death reported. VCHA does what ever it wants and since the media will not report on its bad behavior they keep doing whatever they want. And when I asked David Bell why was I banned fromVCHA, his answer was: You know what you did.  And I said no I did not know what I did.  He is not authorized to tell me where Carolanne is either. We are becoming a dark state and no one is screaming. And Nova Scotia has now passed legislation that says your dead body can be used for organ transplants automatically.  You have to go out of your way while alive to inform the government that you do not want your body used this way.  Saying you agree to an organ transplant is an advanced directive which do not meet the requirements for a legal advanced directive or informed consent. And what would happened if you did not have a driver's licence. Who owns your body after death.  Since removing an organ is not medical treatment, I wonder how the law defines it.  Since you are going to die anyways, why not allow the removal of your organs before death, so organs are in pristine condition to be transplanted. Removing an organ will cause your death before you die.

Langara path

In 2011, at this time of year, I was in a conversation with a woman doctor.  Both of us were walking on the pathway surrounding the Langara golf course.  She mentioned that she had just put her mother down by starving her and her family was angry at her and would not talk to her.  She said that starving her mother was painless and in the best interest of her mother.  She also told me that VCHA usually allows patients two years before they decide to end treatment.  It was exactly two years from the time Randy entered GPC that a DNR was placed on him.  And my life of terror began.

--------------------

I just came across an article written by Bobby Schindler on June 13, 2008.  It said that in the US denying food and hydration is a widely practiced "medical treatment."  When I attended the Bentley case in BC, a medical professional said the same thing to me. It is done all the time. If patients are being starved to death and it is a widely practiced, how is it that I did not know about it.  Just like the common practise of putting DNRs on patients without their knowledge.

As Ontario's large cohort of baby boomers become seniors, the system will come under more strain, the FAO report said. The average 50-year-old in Ontario needs about $3,100 of health-care services annually, while a 65-year-old needs $6,400 worth of care and an 85-year-old needs more than $22,000 in care.

1/3 of all deaths are due to medical error

If 1/3 of all deaths are due to medical error (which is a low estimate), why is it that we trust doctors.

And why is it that the aging population is blamed for our economic woes.  A few decades ago it was the poor who accessed the social safety net who were blamed because they did not want to work. The next diameter to attack is our pets that should not be here as they have no quality of life. And then there is the 2019 case of Hannah Cement v. Ottawa Civil Hospital.  The Hospital got a court order to starve her, a 62-year-old woman to death, as she has dementia. How was that possible.

The PGT and VCHA banning

On 29 January 2014 VCHA banned me for life from accessing all VCHA properties.  The PGT was a signatory to the banning.

A "wanted poster" with my picture was distributed to the employees of VCHA to make sure that employees would attack me on sight. The PGT did an equally stupid thing.

Randy Walker RIP April 13 2014 Sunday

And to think VCHA prevented me from seeing him.  What they did was say to the court that Randy was stable and not dying when in fact they all knew he had organ failure and he was dying.  I still can't believe what cruely they get away with and I am sure it is continuing even now.

What was the point of what Clark Wilson and the PGT did.Where is it said that it was in the best interest of Randy to die alone.

I remember the first social worker I talked to she said for me to forget about Randy and that VCHA would look after him.  I wonder often about that conversation.  If I had walked away, would Randy have lived as long as he did.

As each year passes my PTSD/bereavement is getting worse than better.  I dread waking up each morning.

Joel Morris, partner Harper Grey

Joel Morris, LLB, told a justice of the Supreme Court of British Columbia that I did not respect the law. This is not true.

It is up to the supreme court justice to make such a determination. Not Joel.

Joel's job is not to defame me.  His job is to present the facts.

Joel sees himself as a great litigator.  His hero is Joseph Groia.  He horns his skill by attacking a 75 year old woman in bereavement because his client attempted to hasten the death of her husband.  All his client has to do is admit that VCHA forced him to put a premature DNACPR/DNT/CCO on my husband. My husband was 56 years old.

Joel Morris

I was accused by Joel Morris, law partner of Farris and Company, that I had no respect for the law.  I have a great deal of respect for the law otherwise I would not be suing his client.  His client is being reimbursed for his legal fees by the CMPA. And the Province reimburses his client's CMPA's membership fee.  So Joel's client pays nothing.  All his client does is sign affidavits which Joel writes.

Like I said to your client many times for him to tell the truth and say he was forced by Vancouver Coastal Health to put DNACPR, DNT and CCO Orders  ("DNR") on my husband in an attempt to hasten my husband's death.  He also followed the instructions of VCH to have him declared incapable. Why would your client want to declare my husband incompetent when he was dying.

Although I had a representation agreement for health care for my husband, your client and VCHA ignored it.  And VCHA made an Order approved by your client that I could not see my husband  while he was dying.  His death was not unexpected. Doctors know when a patient will die.

It is you and Farris and Company (from where many judges have been appointed) are using legal technicalities to have my case dismissed.

You are playing by the rules but this is not a chess game.  No one wins.  My husband is dead and I am suffering from PTSD which may never go away.

And VCH keeps puting DNRs on patients justifying that they are going to die anyways.  No issue here unless the patient wants to live for a few more days, weeks, months or years...or a few more hours.

My computer has gone wonky, the date of this post is March 30, 2019

Consider the case of Ben Mattlin, who suffers from spinal muscular atrophy. In a 2012 column for the New York Times, he wrote of the “thin and porous border between coercion and free choice” for those who feel devalued. On the subtle erosion of his autonomy, he wrote: “You also can’t truly conceive of the many subtle forces (to die) — invariably well meaning, kindhearted, even gentle, yet as persuasive as a tsunami — that emerge when your physical autonomy is hopelessly compromised.”
