Dr. John Cowell is a 100% confirmed WCB Hacks and Quacks crony doctor that will say anything and DO anything in order to deny Seriously Injured Workers access to "Proper, timely and RELEVANT" medications, treatments and referrals to competent Specialists that ARE NOT part of the WCB Hacks and Quacks Network of quacko doctors!
Alberta is SO SCREWED now, the people of Alberta really have NO IDEA how dangerous this individual is to the delivery of Healthcare in Alberta.
Dr, Joh Cowell was the chosen "Hatchet Man" for Ralph Klein when Ralphy decided to screw every injured worker in Alberta for ALL of Eternity! It is all here in my blog post. http://www.brentmcgillis.net/2017/10/
This guy, Dr, John Cowell actually believes in the SNAKE OIL that Dr. Phil was selling on Network Television. That Quacko Snake Oil is known as "Neuroplasticity" https://www.thebritishacademy.ac.uk/publishing/review/30/neural-plasticity-dont-fall-for-hype/
WCB tries to convince YOU that your failed Spinal Surgery is ALL in your head and that all they need you to do is go ALL in with this Quacko fake medicine, and then they will get you to sign off to be CUT OFF of pain medications because they KNOW for a fact this will drive you to take your own life rather than suffer the pain with no medication.
Be AFRAID, be very very AFRAID, this guy is dangerous to the Health and Safety of ALL humans under the purvey of his authority! I am serious.
