Awoman ended up giving birth outside the locked doors of the Sainte-Croix hospital in Drummondville, Que., early Tuesday morning in a turn of events Quebec Health Minister Christian Dubé has since called "unacceptable."

The woman, her husband and two-year-old son mistakenly showed up at the hospital's main entrance instead of heading to the emergency department, a five-minute walk away. 

A security guard working inside the building spotted the family and tried redirecting them with hand signals but did not open the door. It wasn't until a patient alerted staff on the fifth floor that two nurses rushed outside to help the woman as she gave birth on a park bench. 

In a statement to Radio-Canada, authorities at the CIUSS de la Mauricie-et-du-Centre-du-Québec said they're looking into what happened. They said the security guard "was removed from work for failing to assist in this situation" and will no longer be assigned to any of their facilities. 

The vice-president of the security agency Radar Sécurité, Éric Cantin, said the employee did not properly evaluate the situation. "From his point of view, he didn't see the distress in the person's behaviour," he told Radio-Canada.

Dubé said hospital authorities have apologized to the woman and her family and have put in place clarifying measures. 

The hospital says the main entrance is always locked overnight for security reasons and that no other incidents have been reported in relation to this. Patients at that entrance can also communicate with staff through an intercom.

Still, the hospital says it will modify its signs so they clearly indicate to patients where to go when the doors are locked.

My comment:  All front entrances of hospitals should be open 24/7. Front entrances are a beacon.  In five minutes a person could be dead. A five-minute WALK...

Never ending ...

I am fed-up with technology, another day, another problem.

I was needing to get some cash to pay for a lawyer and when I inquired how can I borrow money from my credit card, I was told that I had no credit available.  Unbeknown to me in December 2023 the credit card company changed my address for billing from a physical address to on-line.  I was not getting paper statements.  So on top of everything else my source of emergency funds is no longer available.  I need a lawyer and I have no funds

 

 

Tech problems

 I have been having a lot of problems with my tech devices.  Hours and hours are wasted.   I wonder what would happen if the World Wide Web went down.  Civilization as we know it would be over.  

DNR, DNT Orders by Dr. Dunn, VCHA

 I was thinking back to November 2013 when Dr. Dunn put on a DNR and a DNT on Randy.  By accident I found out about the Orders and told Dr. Dunn to remove them (and Randy signed a directive) and he refused.  On the day he should have died and me telling him to take off the DNR/DNT he refused saying that it was not his decision and he would consider it on his return trip from Prince George.  A few hours later my husband was in medical distress and I called 911. Randy was transferred from GPC to Vancouver General Hospital and he survived.  When I allow myself to think about it I get very upset. Dunn wanted him dead. And what did VGH do because I called 911, they banned me from entering George Pearson Centre. Later they banned me from all VCHA properties. How dare I stop a hastened death. They created a horrendous hate against me to justify the bannings. I did not know the extent of the hate until years later i.e. when the manufactured hate came to surface.

DNT means do not transfer from GPC to any hospital

DNR means do not attempt to resuscitate Randy if he has difficulty breathing  He was having difficulty breathing and the staff would not give him oxygen.,

Nothing that has the force of the state behind it is a little law.

The ACLU believes that guardianship is the greatest deprivation of civil rights, just after the death penalty. We need transparency so we know who has been deprived.  If you are imprisoned by the state for a crime, the public has a right to know. But, if you are imprisoned by guardianship, the public has no right to know. Go figure!

I came across the words to describe what could be descriptive of why happened to me.  It was/is known as "street-level bureaucracy."  When what happened to me happened, I just discounted it as non-sense.  It was just stupid words, totally irrelevant, so I thought.  Low-level employees made assessments, and these assessments were sanctioned (rubber-stamped) by upper management at Vancouver Coastal Health.  Later when I came to the realization that upper management did not know what was going on, it was obvious that upper management sanctioned whatever lower management said/wanted, upper management had to support their inferiors at my expense.  I believed that when upper management found out what was happening, I would get an apology. But instead, I was cruelly entrapped.  I am now reeking of anger. When it was happening I did not know what they were doing, so it did not brother me.   Can someone tell me what word should be used for this reversal of the chain of command. I was betrayed by the health authority who I trusted.  

I think the term would be :  street bureaucrats.   

Vancouver Coastal Health

I have been thinking about my experience with the health authority when my husband was hospitalized due to his extensive injuries from an accident.

In November I 2010 I was told that I could be banned from seeing my husband, even on his deathbed. No one said I harmed my husband.  I thought the nurse coordinator was crazy and dismissed her threat as nonsense.  However, her threat did come to pass. Not only did Tanu tell me this, but Linda Rose did also.  

Another time was the manager of George Pearson Centre told me that my husband could not change his mind after he talked to me.  Really. There were signs everywhere saying that patients could change their minds anytime.  The health authority from 2010 wanted Randy to agree to a DNR Order.  If Randy had a DNR on him, he would have died in 2010. He died in 2014. But that could have been from a slow code, meaning as he did not have a DNR, they decided not to treat him, which is what they do when they believe that any medical intervention would be a waste of resources.  

Randy was supposed to have died the weekend before, but because I intervened, the woman manager did not know what to do, so she transferred him within one hour (after my lawyer saw Randy) to acute care. It was  Friday, April 4, 2014. But it was too late; the lack of treatment at GPC cemented his death. I was only able to see my husband on his deathbed (he was comatose) after I produced a court order.  Because of the litigation, the ICU lingered his final breath for nine days.  On April 13, 2014, his vent was disconnected, and he slowly died.  It took three hours.  You never forget.  

Do we need a registry of those under the Adult Guardianship Act.

 I asked IA why is it that the public has the right to know who is jail but the public does not have the right to know who is under the BC Adult Guardianship Act.

That is a good question. The answer may depend on different perspectives and values, but I can provide some possible explanations based on the information I found on the web.

One possible explanation is that the names of those who are in jail are public because they have been convicted of a crime and their identity is relevant to the administration of justice and the protection of society. The names of those who have been certified as incapable under the Adult Guardianship Act are private because they have not committed any offence and their identity is not related to any public interest or safety issue. Their privacy and dignity may outweigh the need for transparency in their case.

Another possible explanation is that the names of those who are in jail are public because they have the right to appeal their conviction and sentence, and the public has the right to know the outcome of their case. The names of those who have been certified as incapable under the Adult Guardianship Act are private because they have limited or no legal capacity to challenge or consent to their guardianship, and the public has no legitimate interest or right to interfere with their personal affairs.

There may be other reasons or arguments for or against the disclosure of the names of those who are in jail or those who are under guardianship. Ultimately, the decision to make the names public or private is based on the law and the court's discretion, which may vary depending on the circumstances of each case.

If a government agency can relocate an adult without a registry then we have no security of person in Canada. How many people have disappeared in BC.  The AGA is worse than the Mental Health Act.

PS December 15, 2023.  Is privacy used to hide corruption (not doing the right thing) by the health authorities (government).  Not knowing what happens to citizens is mental abuse/torture.  Once a person's rights are taken away from them by way of the AGA or by an individual by way of a representation agreement, it is no longer a private matter.  The affected person is being sold into slavery.  I want my neighbour to know if the state hasrelocated me.  The reasoning that someone might exploit me is ridiculous.  I want my neighbour to know so he can help me.
