Guardianship: Life under the hidden control of the Public Trustee system in Australia.

Privacy again

This past week I spoke with two persons who like me had troubles with the health authorities a decade ago. Each of us experienced trauma because Vancouver Health Authority would not share information with us.  If the health authority thinks you are discrediting them, there is no help. Not from the media, not from physicians, not from advocacy organizations, nothing.  A reporter told they would not run my story as I would be harmed. If you have no money for lawyers, then they will show you the door.  And if you have money, they take your money until you have none and then show you the door.  Resources are limited and the law deters to the health authorities. Think a trusted person would never molest a child.  At the end you only have regret and silent anger. The pattern of their behavior is so obvious, like they are following a flow chart.  When my litigation was dismissed because my lawyer did not follow the rules, and I could not represent myself; the lawyers for VCH et al, all rejoiced in the courtroom leaving me bewildered. And the judge did not condemn them for their mal behavior.But then in her hurried departure, maybe she did not notice. Neither did she entertain my plea for an adjournment. Granting an adjournment would not have been necessary if the litigators for the health authority et al would have consented.  Why would VCHA want the litigation dismissed. You would think they would welcome transparency and an open forum. 

  

Relocation by the State

Stats re those that have been involutarily taken (Mental Health Act).

 "Further, of those 1,468 patient files, only 471 contained a Notification to Near Relative (Form 16). This is a compliance rate of about 32 percent. In other words, based on the information provided to us, the parents, siblings, children or other near relatives of 997 involuntary patients admitted in British Columbia in June 2017 did not receive the required formal notice that their family member had been involuntarily admitted or, importantly, the information about that person’s right to challenge their detention."   

Why

Why should you do the right thing when you do not have to.

The answer is within

Listen to "Your Consent is Not Required with Rob Wipond Part 2" 

Confidentially of patients at VCHA is a joke ...

From GPC:

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.

Missing in Action - clients of PGT

 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).
