This is a clickable link to a OIPC decision on sharing medical information. July 10, 2001.
Just as I have always said, and wrote about in my Blog. Plus I have filed complaints with the College of Physicians about these evil shill bastards sharing my information with 3rd party bogus doctors who have never met me and never examined me. A judge in Saskatchewan has just ruled on our Privacy rights. I have always said, they have violated my FOIP privacy rights. Wow one more complaint to file. This is better than going to Law School. Here is the Link http://www.leaderpost.com/news/complaint+well+founded/2204362/story.html Run little bugs run!! Friggin Cockroach CM's and shill doctors. The reason I know what these doctors credentials are is because I went to the medical association office and checked. Canadian College of Family Practitioners, not a orthopedic or spinal specialist at all. It's all here in my blog, this is government sponsored racketeering. You can file complaints with any agency, flush these shill bastards out of their crevices. I know it is enormously time consuming, from experience. But I do believe that somehow in the end it will be worth it. I hope. Here is a letter from Dr. Charleton,(Page 01)(Page02) this is part of my file and as such I own it. This is the document that my claims manager continues to hold up as a medical investigation into my injuries, even after my C-spine MRI was produced. I was able to find doctors reports dating back to when I was seeing my Orthopedic Surgeon in 2006, corroborating my neck pain complaints. I now know why they refuse to release my complete file to my lawyer, they know there is incriminating evidence of their racketeering operation in my file. They refuse to acknowledge these documents and refuse to even return phone calls to my Doctor. I have always said if they want to know anything, just pick up that weird looking device called a telephone and call my physician, as he is my primary care giver. Like I told the appeals commission, their entire organization is one big Joke. It is not a true legal entity, since it does not adhere to any known legal principles, or incorporate any true legal devices. The whole gong show is ripe with corruption. Truly bringing shame to the legal system. I do believe that the government does not like social networking sites that cut them down. But the Gods honest truth to the matter is that the entire WCB network and their substantial network of highly specialized lawyers have been collaborating on a hybrid corporate networking system for many years. And they have governments on their side to make sure that you believe that the problem is the worker, and not the system. This is just the Globalization Machine at work. If the media thinks they are immune, then they are just not paying attention. Stand up for what is right. Unite for the next generation. WCB is trying to turn Patrick Clayton into a enemy of the state. This is a fight for democracy. How will you be counted? What legacy will we leave for our children if we do not stop the enemies of democracy? These people (WCB) have perverted every known law in the land. It is too late to save me, for gods sake save yourselves.

Why does Canadian Law Discriminate Against Injured Workers
During this trip down the road of legal redemption I have ran across a whole cross section of interesting humans. A good deal of injured workers some active, some just fed up fighting a system that is so heavily stacked in favor against them. It truly is a daunting beast to go up against. It has been said that a man that has been stripped of everything, is the most dangerous man in the world. Because in his mind he simply does not have anything to loose. It struck me yesterday in one of my trips down the road of discovery that every single side road that the WCB sends you down ends up being a dead end. When every single avenue of legal and administrative, medical road you turn down ends up a dead end it tears at the very fabric that you once thought was a working part of our society. I used to dream that if I where ever to get a IME, that it would be conducted properly. Video Link example.
The AMA Guidelines to Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, Vol. 4, pp3/98, indicates that a loss of vertebral motion segment integrity is a 20 percent impairment, without positive exam findings. The guidelines also indicate that pain with a loss of function is reason for impairment (Chapter 15).
This is a LIVE Link to a Spine Simulator, helps in your understanding of the complexities of a spinal Injury. I hope this emphasizes how critical these medical decisions are, they cannot be left to drop out flunkies (claims managers).
After so many friends, and other injured workers I have met revealed that they where completely screwed over by the bogus WCB IME exams and ended up with nothing or on welfare for life, I don't live that dream anymore. I was on the misguided belief that once that was conducted, then I would at least have a ELP and a NELP pension to live on. I had dreamed that then if there was any money whatsoever from a genuine IME, and not some play acting charade conducted by a felonious hired doctor with malicious intent, that I could apply those monies to going to the Mayo Clinic to have my injuries treated. I now know that that dream will NEVER happen. Across the board government corruption is spilled across our airwaves every day, and every day nothing is done about it. Firing flunkies, and not the man in charge of flunkies is not dealing with corruption. Not showing true transparency and not revealing the true flaws in the system and working on correcting those corrupt mechanisms, does not show true leadership.
Keep in mind, I walk through multiple mine fields the two most dangerous of which are the WCB Alberta minefield, and the AHS minefield. You could die waiting for treatment from either of these agencies, because they are both trying to fix you for under ten bucks.
Then creating even more secretive mechanisms, amendments to (FOIP) to hide cronyism, corruption and bungling is not the "Spirit to Achieve". That is giving corrupt bureaucracies even more powerful tools and mechanisms to DECEIVE, that is not an achievement in my books. I originally thought that some sort of political solution could be arrived at in my situation. I now know that is another dead end. The politicians in charge are too busy with their own greed agenda, and creating even more bureaucracy and more layers of insulation to cover up their bungling, and ineptitude. This party can't be called the Tory party anymore, it has become the GORY party. Because everything they touch becomes a horribly messy Gory Hackjob, complete with Hackmen, Hatchetmen, and of course the obligatory Bagmen. Why do we not have a Honest Leadership and Open Government Act. So a political solution to my situation is now 100% impossible with these bunglers in charge.
Digging in the Crony pot of moron candidates to run our most critical systems in our society is not paving the road of the future. JFK did not get living breathing men to the moon with cronyism. Remember what happened with George Bush and Katrina? A society built on making sure only your contractor buddies have any involvement in achieving solutions to the problems of the day, is not a progressive society. Hardly leading edge policies. The road forward to meet the challenges of an increasingly complex society is rooted in leadership that can envelop all people. All persons, regardless of ethnicity, political stripe, gender or how big their brown paper bag contributions are. This is not Baghdad, and we do not want a Halliburton and Blackwater mercenary style right wing society. Creating a society with a increasingly divided, agitated population and large parts of that society feeling alienated and discriminated against is not progressive. Openly mocking, bullying and smugly trashing your political opponents because they want real answers to real time crisis', is not indicative of leadership in any arena. I was stunned when I heard Hector Goudreau say there was no need for a overhaul of the WCB Alberta. How can these elected officials stand up and say they represent our citizens? We don't all dream of having a Upgrader built in our back yard, I'm not mentioning any names here. The worlds most powerful economy is shifting gears on how it produces and consumes energy, it is focusing on new technologies. The new American Administration is focusing on new ideas, they don't want their landscape carpeted with SO2 flares. We can either be part of the solution, or be left behind. Having our politicians go to the US and brag about how frigging great we are is not what they want to hear. They want to here how we are going to help our largest trading partner get out of this economic jamb, and pave a new future. Harper and Ed just don't get it. They try to claim that they created the economic climate during the boom. BS, We live in a energy/mineral based commodity economy and that is why we ride on these boom bust waves. They knew the bust was coming and lied to the population, and now they try to distance themselves from the outcome. Claiming, "how could we have known?" And, "this is worldwide, we didn't cause it." WE need real leaders, with real reform. If we do not get on board with reform, when we wake up on the day the Americans have completed theirs it will be too late. For us to support leaders who think they can do a end-run around American policy is just plain stupid. By the time they are done reforming their government policies and labor standards, if we have not, we are going to be in big trouble. Harper was bragging about the Mulroney Free Trade Agreement. That document will come back to haunt Canada if there is not real reform here.
This is Alberta and if the people in charge can not see the future coming, then those people need to be replaced. I believe that my remedy to my WCB situation is a Constitutional Challenge. Our rights as a group or as a individual injured worker have been stripped from us because we got hurt at work. We are being discriminated against by the act of denying us true legal remedial tort. Talk to any judge, he will tell you that is not a board made up off old bagmen. All other citizens, under all other circumstances may apply to the courts for tort remedy, except us. All we want is too stand in front of a real judge(s), not a tea club of old crony bagman from the WCB. When the Charter was signed there existed on the books laws that are contrary to the Charter. The WCB acts in All provinces are in violation of the Charter. You cannot strip us of the right to seek true legal remedy, the charter guarantees it. To have laws on the books that discriminate and strip individuals or groups of rights guaranteed under the Charter, is in direct conflict with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. We are all protected equally under the Law.
The validity of the Workers Compensation Act should be challenged on the basis that it infringes the equality rights guaranteed in section 15(1) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (“the Charter”).
In particular to be specific Section 17 is discriminatory, and as such unconstitutional:
Jurisdiction of Board
17(1) Subject to section 13.1, the Board has exclusive jurisdiction to examine, inquire into, hear and determine all matters and questions arising under this Act or the regulations and the action or decision of the Board on such matters and questions is final and conclusive, and is not open to question or review in any court.
(2) No proceedings by or before the Board shall be restrained by injunction, prohibition or other process or proceedings in any court or are removable by certiorari or otherwise into any court, nor shall any action be maintained or brought against the Board, any employee or officer of the Board or any member of the board of directors in respect of any act or decision done or made in the honest belief that it was within the jurisdiction of the Board.
(3) The Board has authority to reconsider any matter that it has dealt with and to rescind or amend any decision or order previously made by it.
(4) Each matter shall be decided on the merits and justice of the case and the Board is not bound to follow any previous decision or ruling of the Board as a precedent in reaching its decisions or making its rulings.
(5) The Board has the same powers as the Court of Queen’s Bench for compelling the attendance of witnesses and of examining them under oath and compelling the production and inspection of books, papers, documents and things.
(6) The Board may cause depositions of witnesses residing in or outside Alberta to be taken before any person appointed by the Board in a manner similar to that prescribed by the Alberta Rules of Court.
RSA 2000 cW‑15 s17;2002 c27 s10;2005 c48 s2
Because of the publicly renowned mass corruption, abuse of power in creating their own bogus consulted bylaws. The are guilty of mass abuse of human rights. These boards and their Acts of legislation can no longer stand the legal test of legitimacy.
The purveyors of WCB's across this nation have so 100% completely perverted that act, that those documents can no longer be raised as legitimate acts of LAW. To do so is embarrassing the legal profession itself. For any legal intellect to hold that perverted sicko system up as a true legal mechanism, with real tort remedy is completely assinine.
Additionally, no human wants to be forced into a lengthy legal battle for the right to medical treatment of injuries suffered at work. We just want help, real true honest help. I was injured at work, there is no human who wants to be dragged into a legal and medical mine field, laced with bogus medical expert boobie traps. George Bush's crew lost their election, so deal with it.
HMO's are evil.
A famous quote about the Charter he helped shape.
I read a article in the Post by a lawyer who deals with WCB claims across the country, secret agent/buddy. A fantasy out of touch rag, if you believe that BS you ARE a moron. Another sell out, no shortage of them. Level playing field, talk about deluded. Smelly journalism without investigation is not journalism.
The idea of a law firm that advises large employers, while representing injured workers is a old american platform. If you cannot see the trap door in that arrangement, you deserve what ever you get.

Sociopathic Killers
(Regressive Government that rationalizes the implementation of tyranny on innocent persons, deserves to fall)
We need to Unite as a people in this province, or Corporate Ed and Co. are going to roll right over top of us.
Notice to the Minister Responsible: Hector Goudreau, it has never been proven that tyrannizing injured workers is an effective tool for their medical recovery.
I am going to do some research on the variety of brain deficient conditions WCB Case Managers were born with. HERE IS A Website detailing some of their Icons and their achievements in history. Claims Manager Litmus Test!! Beware Claims Managers this is like you looking in a mirror. Besides possibly being born mental mutants, their employer actually fuels their mental retardation. By not screening their employees for obvious underlying mental defects and profiling these misfits of society, the agency ends up with seriously mentally retarded, and human feelings deficient sociopaths as claims managers. Obviously these people end up taking extended leaves of absence to fuel their own mentally retarded party, on full WCB Compensation of course. It strikes me that in all of this, you know who would know the most about these sick untreated individuals? Their kids. Because guess what? They are being raised by a sociopath. Imagine the individual being created by a mentally deficient human being turned loose on society. The total cost to society, for these human marvels of procreation will be enormous. Did you ever wonder where serial killers come from? A friend once told me, "Why the Workers Compensation Board, don't you know?" They are creating their very own Army of SocioPathic Mutants, he told me. Someone is going to have to steer the ship after dear ol' mom heads off to wander the streets of her BC retirement Villa, talking all freaky to real Canadians. The next generation of greed generated sickos will have to take over the reigns of punishing and torturing seriously injured workers. The Mutant Brigade! I asked one of my Ironworker buddies in Whistler one time, "How come so many serial killers come out of Abbottsford." He replied,"I don't know what the Hell is going on down in Abby". I now can only surmise: They must have a Workers Compensation Office there too!
I wonder if the cops check to see how many WCB employees are now armed?
You never know when a sociopath is going to snap! And those sociopaths have access cards!

Injured Worker Initiated Alberta Stimulus Package
Well if there is one good thing to come out of this, imagine the millions the government is now going to have to spend on security across this province. Funny ED you and your crew claim that the Workers Compensation Board is a independent corporate entity, why is now necessary to beef up security at all your Government offices. Feeling a little insecure are we? That's it ED, further insulate yourself from the population. You know in the old days you guys used to just build a fort. This is really starting to feel like an Oligarchy.Well at least the money the government saved on my care is being spent well.
I am happy to announce on behalf of injured workers everywhere: A injured worker initiated "Stimulus Package". This is exactly what this province needs. Puts lots of people to work. As a bonus, they don't even need retraining. They are security guards. They need even less retraining than a injured Ironworker does. Good job ED. You guys just keep applying ToryNomics. Don't inject a stimulus package into the medical system by actually giving medical care to injured workers. No better yet, let the taxpayers of Alberta pay for my tests and ongoing care for the next 20 years. This is what happens when you let your drop-out relatives make medical decisions on behalf of the medical community. Not helping injured workers with their medical care is really just Another cleverly disguised HIDDEN TAX on hard working Albertans. Make CPP disability, the provinces welfare system and other governments across Canada pay for our care. It is the Alberta Way. Download responsibility on to a taxpayer funded agency. The total sum burden that has been downloaded onto taxpayers over decades by corporate employers is "Mammoth", incalculable really. You really have to give credit where credit is due. Government sponsored cleverly disguised taxes for decades is a gigantic accomplishment. C'mon Ed, give another speech about how low taxes are in "HELLberta". Phone the President of Canada (Stephen Harper), I'm sure they can add some of their own BS spin to this issue. Moo.
LADYS AND GENTLEMAN may I have your attention please. Looks like it is time for a Road Trip to Ottawa.

Alberta Appeals Commission
My worst fears have been realized regarding the Alberta WCB appeals commission
This is not a true legal dispute mechanism, it is a ultra cushy BS appointment of even more friends of the government. This is nepotism gone bezerk. Seriously injured Ironworkers with broken backs cannot even qualify for a bed, while the trough feeders continue to swell in number. I can guarantee you that they sleep on pocket coils. These people do not even feign concern, or interest in your plight.
Democracy died in Alberta, a very long time ago. The real shame in all of this, is the fact that almost no one showed up for the funeral. Elected officials running this province ended a long long time ago.
These people are making a mockery of Canada. It makes me sad to know that so many will suffer from the abuses of this government sponsored Super bureaucracy run amuck. The trough has been allowed to balloon to an unimaginable bloated and deformed size. The "demockery bureaucracy" has written their own laws(policies) for so long they actually believe that they are Law makers. They only need Law makers as figurehead puppets.
I thought that a true legal entity with a balanced representation would be a good solid place to consult on how to battle a corrupt and fraudulent corporation.
I really am only beginning to grasp what a completely naive and stupid idea that was. After a brief visit, their non action was obvious. I now know how naive I really am. The Office of the Appeals Commission as far as I am concerned is one more part of their farce. This is just one more layer of stupidity. This is a super corrupt organization whose chief mandate is defrauding seriously injured workers of any form of compensation.
Obviously a made in Alberta solution that was farmed out to an American consultant.
This is what happens when corporatism is allowed to run amuck.
How's that Health Super Board working out for the general population?
The response from the commission representative was typical in its merry-go-round approach to a solution. This entire situation never even needed to reach this point, if the dispute resolution process was an actual working mechanism. It's originators intentions have been grossly perverted by the demockery bureaucracy. In doing so they have created a squirrel cage that you simply cannot escape. The process is so mind numbingly drawn out that it is almost guaranteed to discourage even the most seasoned mangled human.
The Alberta WCB is just one big SHAM wow. Claims managers mindlessly grinding out more of their southern consultants well rehearsed BS.
This is not a problem that is unique to the the Alberta WCB, this is a giant "Corporate Culture" created and nurtured by our government. It is ridiculous in it's premise, and even more retarded in actual practice. Hello, did anyone notice how all this corporate BS backfired in the US? Albertans bought the Corporate Hallelujah stuff hook line and sinker.
More corporation, less government. Hmm, how's that working out for you?
Alberta WCB's intentions were clear from the beginning, cutting off a seriously injured Ironworker with a shattered vertebrae and steel bars in his back after only 6 months recovery. Why? Because I refused to be mocked, would not accept WCB Alberta's outright denial of my injuries, and refused to be threatened into signing legally binding documents. It is interesting given the fact that it is against the law in Alberta to threaten persons within the confines of a licensed medical facility in the Province of Alberta.
No need for these people to obey the Law, they will just create a new policy, and have their puppet Lawmakers rubber stamp it into law. Isn't corporatism a wonderful tool for non elected officials to completely strip Citizens of Canada of all of their individual rights and freedoms.
When a government can no longer hear the cries of it's citizens over the bitching and moaning of corporations, then they are no longer a government. This makes them a puppet regime. (See: America)
I filed an appeal, which the WCB never responded to and even though I have repeatedly brought this contentious item up, they refuse to discuss it. How can I have respect for a commission to which my appeal shall never arrive. Just one more BS arm of a very large BS organization. There is not one part of this government that impresses me. Any organization that maliciously pursues defrauding seriously injured workers out of benefits they are legally entitled to, only impresses ultra right wing corporate wing dings. Government BS does not impress me, any farmer will tell you BS ain't worth a hill of beans. Yet, this government doles out BS like it is a valuable commodity. The bureaucrats are doling out horse manure and telling us that it is caviar.
Someone has to put a stop to these lawless bastards, plain and simple.
Since their is no one in this government that is willing to help seriously injured workers. There is no other choice. It is them or us. Democracy is a community, not an idea. Hope may be our only salvation.

This is not a true legal dispute mechanism, it is a ultra cushy BS appointment of even more friends of the government. This is nepotism gone bezerk. Seriously injured Ironworkers with broken backs cannot even qualify for a bed, while the trough feeders continue to swell in number. I can guarantee you that they sleep on pocket coils. These people do not even feign concern, or interest in your plight.
Democracy died in Alberta, a very long time ago. The real shame in all of this, is the fact that almost no one showed up for the funeral. Elected officials running this province ended a long long time ago.
These people are making a mockery of Canada. It makes me sad to know that so many will suffer from the abuses of this government sponsored Super bureaucracy run amuck. The trough has been allowed to balloon to an unimaginable bloated and deformed size. The "demockery bureaucracy" has written their own laws(policies) for so long they actually believe that they are Law makers. They only need Law makers as figurehead puppets.
I thought that a true legal entity with a balanced representation would be a good solid place to consult on how to battle a corrupt and fraudulent corporation.
I really am only beginning to grasp what a completely naive and stupid idea that was. After a brief visit, their non action was obvious. I now know how naive I really am. The Office of the Appeals Commission as far as I am concerned is one more part of their farce. This is just one more layer of stupidity. This is a super corrupt organization whose chief mandate is defrauding seriously injured workers of any form of compensation.
Obviously a made in Alberta solution that was farmed out to an American consultant.
This is what happens when corporatism is allowed to run amuck.
How's that Health Super Board working out for the general population?
The response from the commission representative was typical in its merry-go-round approach to a solution. This entire situation never even needed to reach this point, if the dispute resolution process was an actual working mechanism. It's originators intentions have been grossly perverted by the demockery bureaucracy. In doing so they have created a squirrel cage that you simply cannot escape. The process is so mind numbingly drawn out that it is almost guaranteed to discourage even the most seasoned mangled human.

Workers' Compensation: News Headlines: OSHA: Labor Secretary Hilda Solis Says Dept. of Labor Is Ready to Get to Work to Protect Workers
CHANGE IS COMING TO AMERICA but sadly change will never come to Alberta.

The Americans should use NAFTA to put a stop to unfair trading practices in Canada. The Alberta WCB does not help seriously injured workers and cheats all others out of proper compensation. I can't quite see the Meredith Principle from where I am standing. How could the WCB Alberta not have a giant surplus when they won't pay? Giving Alberta employers the lowest WCB rates in Canada. That is an unfair trading practice. I am writing a letter to Hillary Clinton.

Working in Alberta
Working in Albertais a funny sort of conservative
paradigm. If you do not work in this province you are looked down upon, because the general populace believes that you have some sort of character fault. Even if you are partially disabled. The Alberta Government Felonious Insurance Scheme will not help you in any way. That means medications, rehabilitation, medical attention of any kind, or retraining so that I will not have to
break my back, againin order to bring home a paycheck. Nor will they finally live up to their fuduciary responsibility and pay for a real multidisciplinary assessment of my injuries, and of my current physical functional limitations so that a economic loss payment can be arrived at.
There really is no reason to postulate the legalities of my situation, since
WCB AlbertaOperates so far outside what is considered
lawfulthat to dream about any sort of legal and fair resolution of my case is a completely moot point.
If a injured worker or any other outside observer where to want to study the WCB Alberta system, they would find a website that does not work, absolutely no online access to WCB Case Law here in this province. And as such, researchers would simply have to speculate on the actual documents that are supposedly posted on WCB Alberta 's website.
I find it very amusing that the Law Society of Alberta would allow such and entity to be created, one that cannot be successfully sued. And a legal arm of the government that swings a giant "Legal Axe" in its own defense yet does not have WCB Case Law posted on its website, or access to such a library.
When the legal might of a 1.3 billion dollar Government Agency is busy legally suffocating the life out of an individual, that person it not allowed access to case law in his or her own defense. I am no legal genius, but I am pretty damn sure that any use of a government sanctioned legal system, would have to incorporate access to such a library.
Since a billion dollar funded private legal system has been unleashed on a private citizen, that citizen should have access to their case law. Simply because, in no place in any part of the legal system is it absolutely mandatory to have a lawyer for representation. And as such clients, as a fundamental right should have access to the complete WCB Alberta case law library. This is not 1950, it should be posted online the same as other government agencies. If that is not possible then the government should pay for my legal defense. That way their buddies can get paid too. Lets spread the joy around some.
I hope that the Top Brass at the offices of WCB Alberta are proud of themselves. They have successfully managed to lie, cheat and steal my Pension from me. I will now receive no compensation for my Permanent Clinical Impairment, and any medical needs,or monthly subsistence, or any monies for retraining.
I did receive a phone call from the Royal Alex Hospital yesterday informing me that I will have a appointment for a MRI on my neck on Sunday the 12th day of July @ 11:00 am on a Sunday. I originally thought that my MLA's influence helped. However, I have since learned that the Taxpayers of Alberta were once again made to pay for my MRI Scan. I never did get my CT Scan of my C-Spine. Since Colleen Bamford already turned me down for my tests and my bed. We shall see. It would be nice to know what it is like to completely be able to turn my head again.

Man what a life!
I would have never guessed that I would be teetering on the verge of homelessness, simply because I fell off a steel rafter busting some Iron together and now I am disabled. The idea that WCB Alberta would have intelligent employees (Claims managers) working for them is a delusion. And further that any of these Claims Managers would have even the most rudimentary medical knowledge is absolutely absurd. If any of these humans exist at WCB Alberta , I certainly have not met any of them. At the very core of this issue is the Stalig 13 type atmosphere at WCB Alberta . If you so much as sneeze the word "OW" you will be terminated from all treatments, benefits and pensions you may have been entitled to at one time in a fictional Alberta. The very idea that a person with less medical knowledge than myself (Ironworker) is in charge of my benefits is absolutely asinine.
When a seriously injured worker who has suffered multiple back injuries, gets injured at physio and reports it, it is incumbent on the Claims manager to order tests. These tests would be to investigate the reported injury. Simply cutting off the claimant and not returning his phone calls, or written communiques is not collaboration on my case plan Colleen. And it is certainly not what Colleen Bamford claims is working with all stakeholders towards the same goal. There is, and never will be, any single stakeholder with a larger stake in this claim than Brent McGillis. Her plan is simple, Obey..Sieg Heil or your entire file will be terminated. What ever happened to the WCB Mantra of working with stakeholders? Her case management is called a dictatorship, and is not conducive to an effective recovery plan map. A recovery plan map that does not include the injured worker in any participatory capacity is not a plan that is achievable.
To be totally blunt, my Case managers has ever tried to work with me or consult me on any of their case plans, ever.
When a Ironworker falls and lands flat on his back, guess what?, there are going to be complications. Being that my injury was not 100 % properly diagnosed at the Royal Alexandra Hospital is not my fault. And it is not their (RAH) fault either. They live under the guidelines of Alberta Health. Their primary goal is to kick you out the door and free up a bed.
I was under the misguided delusion that once I had arrived at the Millard Health Facility, my complete injuries and side effects of these injuries would be assessed. I was under the deluded idea that the Millard Center was a true "Multiple Disciplinary Rehabilitation Facility".
It is a phoney baloney health center. (A real Licensed Hospital or Health Clinic in the Province of Alberta is not allowed to use threats or coercion.) Protection for Persons in Care Act of Alberta. I did not make this Law, the Alberta Government did.
Man was I stupid. The very first thing they did was introduce me to DR. RENCHKO. He blurted, "Lots of people have steel parts in their bodies". And I retorted; "Yah, but not in their friggin spine!! Good God! I don't appreciate having my injury mocked by Medical Professionals, who are my Medical Guardians. It was all I could do to climb onto the examination table, and lay down. This experience was rapidly taking on a bizarre DISTORTION that I simply had not seen coming. Actually being MOCKED by the very people delegated by LAW to help rehabilitate me. I was in complete and total bewilderment. Never before in my entire life had I felt so belittled, insulted, and degraded. I was already under extreme physical duress, now Millard was embarking on a program of applied Mental Duress. And they were acting with Malice. A doctor trivializing my injury while I struggle to get on and off of his examination table. There is trivial about a serious fall.
At this point I was feeling extremely vulnerable, lonely, insulted and helpless. Since I knew that if this was the first encounter this whole gong show (Millard Health Center) was going downhill at a frightening pace. This was the first time in my LIFE that I had actually met a Rent-a-Doc. I guess the bottom 10% of grads need jobs too, just like any other trade.
That was the first exposure to WCB ick that I had to endure. I felt violated and degraded.
The next encounter with there vocational people was uneventful, except for suggestions of helping me find another job. I already had a job that I was to mangled to return to. Their idea is for you to start flipping burgers or something, that doesn't cost them a dime. Good job WCB.
After that they decided that it would be a good idea for me to be subjected to their FCE. You climb a 6 foot ladder, walk on a board. Lift a crate a few times. During this evaluation, I told the woman who was giving me this evaluation about my other injuries. I even demonstrated that I was unable to stand straight up, because of my right knee that was blown in the fall. She off course retorted that there was nothing about that stuff on her report. She would not record any of those concerns, except to write in her report that, "I imagined my injuries to be greater that they actually were."
More flippant remarks from another unremarkable human being used to making no useful contributions to society. Then to cap it all off she herded me into a room with camera's and microphones to make me sign a document saying that I had already signed off on any previous injuries. I told her that I never signed off on my previous back injury and would not do so now. She left for a while, returned and told me that I would not have to sign that document.
The final day was the next day, when I met with Bruce Eidick. He is Millard's RTW director. He met me and described while we were walking down the hallway to another room with camera's and microphones that I would be subjected to an intense program 5 days a week, 5 hours a day of Intense physiotherapy. I told him, "No you're not". I still had steel Rods and Screws in my Spine. There was no way in Hell, then or now that I would let a bunch of Hillbilly hacks risk further injuring my already mangled back. I did not suffer a broken leg. I broke the housing for my Spinal Cord. I know that the WCB of Alberta does not give a sh*t about my back. This is a news flash for the dummies. I only have one back, and it is now horribly deformed and mangled. Maliciously applying even more mental duress really was not an appropriate form of action at this point in my recovery.
After he could not find one of his surveillance rooms to film me signing the WCB's malicious document. A document designed to maximize duress on a client to the point where it will force a client to the absolute breaking limit. These tactics are designed to mentally stress out a client. Thus achieving their goal of attacking you credibility. I told Bruce Eidick that I would show up every single day I could, and do whatever I could. I would treat every person in that facility with respect. But I would not sign a legally binding document with unachievable goals that were impossible for me to fulfill in my weakened and battered state, and now under severe duress. Those goals were impossible then, and they are impossible today.
Is mental and physical torture of a severely injured worker a new Conservative Value? Or is it an Old Conservative Value?
