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.

C'mon Say what you mean

People always say, C'mon say what you really mean. And that is the purpose of this Blog. It is to express my true feelings toward my Obtuse Obdurate tormentors, you would know them as the Alberta WCB.

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.

Canada Day in Edmonton

How come it doesn't feel like Canada day? I am having a hard time trying to celebrate this day. I live in constant pain and I just can't get excited about today. I was debilitated most of the day. I see people on the television who emigrated here and they are excited. I find that hard to do, considering they did the same thing to my father years ago when he fell. It's not right. I went to see my MP, Peter Goldring's office, she didn't sound to encouraging. My life is not encouraging. I struggle every day to find the courage to continue. I am at my wits end to find someone who can help me get the medical treatment I so desperately need. I did not fall and break my leg. I fell flat on my back and suffered a Spinal Injury..
It is interesting to note that this examination of Evaluting a Spinal Injury of Permanent Clinical Impairment was written in Korea, and is the very best read I have had on the subject.
You see because it was the WCB Alberta's intent to get me to the Millard Health Center and perform an improper FCE, and sell it as a real Spinal IME. Of course their conclusion would have determined that there is nothing wrong with me. They are currently trying to sell a (ROM) FCE performed at REMED as a proper IME, which is ludicrous. The proof of their fraudulent intentions are clear in their Doc in a Box (Dr. Sonnenburg) Page 1, Page 2, Page 3, Page 4, findings that there is nothing wrong with me. Dr. Sonnenburg I am filing a complaint to the College. Perhaps one day we can meet this doctor who's words inflict so much pain.
And this is why it is so important for me to go to a Real multi-disciplinary clinic for assessment and treatment, and a true Spinal IME.
Anyways I hope tomorrow brings a brighter sunshine in my world.

Injured Alberta IronWorker Bad News

Well the news just keeps getting worse. I finally get my MRI approved and my lawyer writes me to tell me he does not believe that Legal Aid should fund me. The primary problem with this logic, is the fact that another lawyer already wrote a Legal Opinion on my file and concluded that I do have a valid case. My lawyer's point is moot. I wish that if he does not want my file, then by all means pass it on to a lawyer who does. Honestly, I have my plate full just trying to fight Alberta WCB without having to babysit my Lawyer and lead him around by the hand. Once again Alberta WCB has lied to my MLA's assistant and told her that my lawyer requested my file on May 1, when in fact that consent was faxed on April 3rd, 2009. My doctors request for a MRI was submitted on May 1st.
What really gets me down is:

1. Where is my due process?
2. When does the WCB stop lying and start helping?
3. The appeal process is supposed to be a dispute mechanism, and not a DESTRUCTION OF HOPE TOOL for Claims Managers
4. Where is my IME (Independent Medical Examination)? It is to be conducted at the end of the 2 year period. It is conducted at that time because it is accepted by the Medical Profession that any nerve damage that was done, would have been healed as much as it will ever heal by the end of this time frame. Their acronym is MMI (maximum medical improvement).
5. My Injury is listed as a PCI. Which means I am partially disabled and once my IME is Conducted, my ELP and NELP will have been established and can be disbursed.
6. This is Alberta Government sanctioned Fraud. And I am tired of it. How is any human expected to deal with these Obtuse Obdurates for another 20 years?
7. It is only 3 and a half years and I am ready to kill myself. I was never suicidal until I had to deal with the Felonious Government Insurance Scheme,known as the WCB Alberta.
8. Why have I not been allowed to go to the "Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minn?"
9. I was referred to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota last year by my Doctor, and WCB Alberta immediately responded by closing my file. The WCB Alberta mob of idiots has had their share of time to execute their retard fraud show.
10. Now it is my turn. They have proven their ineptitude time and time again. They do not collaborate my health care treatments in good faith. They have proven that they have absolutely no intention of helping a seriously injured worker.
11. I am in constant unending pain and I want some help. I want to go to the Mayo Clinic to which I was referred, and my doctor and Surgeon have already forwarded my medical records last year.
12. You would not treat a dog in this manner. So why does our government sanction the treatment of humans in this manner?
13. Why am I not allowed to have a Case Manager who is not discriminatory, and why has no higher official at WCB Alberta intervened and done a complete review of my case?

Once again, I would like to thank Tony Vandermeer's Office for all of their help. God bless Brenda Goebel. I was misled into believing that Tony Vandermeer's Office was actually doing ANY work on my file. I initially was very grateful and humbled to have a PC MLA actually pretend to do work on my file.
  I originally was duped into believing that Tony Vandermeer actually cared about a terrible injustice being perpetrated against a disabled person.
  Boy was I ever stupid enough to believe that ANY PC MLA could give a crap about hard working Albertans.

 Tony Vandermeer's Office stabbed me in the back and told me on a return visit to
"Forget about my injury and MOVE On with my life".

  There is a god and he does not like do-nothing Floaters like Tony Vandermeer either, and Tony was DEFEATED in the 2012 Alberta Election.

 Just so there are NO hard feelings Tony Vandermeer, I have some advice and some comforting advice for Tony on his defeat,
"Forget about it TONY and move on with your Life"!

Oh yes and thank you Deb, and Dr. Adebayo. You two keep saving my life, and I am humbled. Thank you Doug for your support and those who have been a sounding board for my nervous breakdown. TY Kim for knowing what to do, and when. Who knew PTSD is triggered by obdurate s?

Working in Alberta

Working in Alberta

is 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, again

in 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 Alberta

Operates so far outside what is considered

lawful

that 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.

WCB Alberta

WCB Alberta is a Criminal Organization the organizations' Case managers are

practicing medicine in Alberta

without a license!! My Case manager has completely thrown my referral to my orthopedic spinal surgeon out the window. She is saying there is nothing wrong with my back and is closing my file. My doctor, Dr. Adebayo has referred me back because of my severe pain. A orthopedic spinal "Surgeon" is the only one who can objectively look at my "MRI"'s and give an objective opinion on a spinal injury. Not some fictitious "Rent a Doc", from the Millard fraud clinic. Millard and WCB Alberta, bringing shame to the "Health Sciences of Alberta" for 40 forty years. These people continue to abuse seriously injured workers here in Alberta, despite Patrick Clayton's Plight. Maybe next time WCB will kill themselves laughing at the workers they abuse. What goes around does come around. Here it is almost Christmas and I still do not have a bed that my doctor prescribed. I have had my first visit at the Pain Clinic, hopefully that will lead to true evidence based medicine.

WCB Alberta Violated my Privacy

The Workers' Compensation Board violated my Privacy Rights when they unlawfully shared medical information regarding my medical treatments, and referrals by my Doctor to specialists who can help treat my disabling medical condition. These "Rent-a-docs", are not part of my medical treatment team. These medical vulchers are not authorized to view, selectively edit, distort and abuse my information without my explicit written consent. These medical fraud artists, are not part of my medical team of experts, and as such they have no vested interest in my case. Their intentions of not helping me medically, are so obviously fraudulent in nature. It is clear these "Medical Consultants" intentions are fraudulent in nature, and as such they are legally liable because their intent is malicious. Their sole purpose is complicity in the fraud that is being perpetrated by Claims managers at the WCB. These claims managers and consultants crime is in their communication for the purpose of committing fraud. In this case, Colleen Bamford and her new felonious doctor who is also going to receive a complaint to the College and to the Privacy Commission. My doctor and my doctor alone will refer and he has the authority to authorize who gets to share my medical information. The medical consultants opinions are between the WCB Alberta and themselves, and they certainly are not authorized to be paid from any compensation monies that Brent McGillis is entitle to. If Colleen Bamford wants to pay rent-a-docs herself that is her perogative. If they want to play the popular WCB Alberta game of "Dream Lawyer", then they are welcome to play with themselves. They can save those opinions for a court room. There is absolutely no room for felonious doctors in the "Real Medical World". More importantly it certainly exposes the WCB of Alberta to litigation and to their predisposition of not helping seriously injured workers.

Drowning in a Sea of WCB Alberta B.S.

Today I am going to the office of Tony Vandermeer and thank his assistant for her efforts. Tony Vandermeer and other Alberta MLA's are oblivious to the fact that the Alberta WCB wields more power than the Alberta Government Caucus. I am completely respectful of all who try to help me, but in this case going to my Alberta MLA has actually "Hurt" my fight against Alberta WCB.
Collen Bamford sent me a letter denying me my CT and MRI scans of my C-Spine. My situation was hopeless before and now it is a complete disaster. I am going to have to go it alone against the Alberta WCB monster. At least prior to visiting my "Elected" officials office I was able to access a MRI scan, albeit took 8 weeks. That is still better than "NEVER". She knows not what a truly monstrous beast the WCB really is.
It is a joke. This government has no power, they are a puppet of the corporations. The facists have taken over. These are truly dark days for democracy, freedom and the idea that this is a good place to live.
