Concerning: Casual Legal and Human Rights Abuses and Political Disappearances, Canadian Style
I had my so-called Canadian legal, and my basic human, rights casually trampled on and removed from me by Royal Victoria Hospital doctors and staff in Barrie, Ontario yet again. And this time they also threatened to make me disappear forever, Canadian Style.
The law here that allows doctors to send police to pick someone up on the pretense that the person is a threat to himself is being abused because there is no accountability of its use. This last time I was also threatened by their psychiatrist with being disappeared into the psychiatric system for as long as they wish without my ever being allowed to even present my case before a judge if I would not agree to do everything they demanded. He said all they have to do is say that I’m crazy regardless of whether I am or not, and he made it clear that he was prepared to do exactly that without any concern for the truth if I didn’t do exactly what they demand. On another occasion the RVH used the three day evaluation lockup law to simply have me removed from the street and hidden from public view during a weekend festival event because I was on a legal non-abusive hunger strike against one of their prominent businessmen. They had already done the three day lockup supposed evaluation just shortly after I began the hunger strike, and of course I was again ignored during the second lockup, so even a person of low intelligence can understand that both those times were also simply abuses of process and power. For political reasons they’ll lock people away, but those who are really suffering mental problems and need help are thrown into the streets “because they don’t want to house them in institutions”, I suppose maybe because they need the space for their political prisoners.
The denial of people’s legal rights has become so casual at the RVH that even non-doctors are engaging in the practice. This last time, other people in the hospital denied me my freedom after I was released and after they were informed by the doctor of that fact, simply because a security guard wanted to put on a display to others and because another staffer wanted to allow his abusive and confrontational attitude against me to continue. They refused to allow me to leave the hospital on my own and instead made me wait to be marched out by the security officer, who had previously proven to be delusional enough to keep repeating that I had not been brought in by the police and that the police were not sent to pick me up at the request of the RVH. I suppose he might have thought fairies had flown me there and the other staffer was enjoying the confrontation so refused to correct him because she said, “It’s not my job to get involved” when I asked her to tell him how I got there because she was present when I arrived and when the police informed the doctor that they were acting upon the request of RVH when they apprehended me to be delivered to the hospital. I supposedly had my legal freedom returned to me by a doctor who can casually legally take it away and return it, yet people who do not have the legal right to casually deny me my legal rights still refused to recognize those returned legal rights because the guard wanted to put on a display for others and march me out of the hospital then stand and watch me until the bus arrived and I got on it. And the police who brought me in had told a doctor that the RVH Patient Representative had called them and used the form 1(?) requirement to request my apprehension from my home and delivery to the hospital, but if he did they may have had already had a doctor fill out another form by now because later it was stated that only doctors can legally request such a pickup and that the Patient Representative is not a doctor. I am sure that psychiatrist I saw would have no problem helping them cover things up because he believes he is above the law and may do as he pleases. I’m sure he also prepared his report concerning his communication with me and my visit to ensure it was twisted enough to allow him to falsely claim whatever he so chooses if he needs to use it against me in the future while still giving him enough protection for his allowing me to leave, because he is not totally stupid of such possible needs but simply chooses to be an abusive and immoral person. As he said regarding the RVH people in charge, “They have no shame” which he should know because he is one of the They.
These people pretend the reason for picking someone up is because they think the person might hurt himself then they engage in confrontational abuse and threats against the person which would in fact actually exasperate the person’s condition if he had been planning on harming himself. The psychiatrist’s actions have instead of helping someone they claimed may hurt himself made it even more difficult for me to trust anyone, especially those in authority with the power to casually abuse me, or for me to feel safe anywhere. They are abusing their position of power for personal and political reasons. This last abuse was simply to prevent the possibility that the hospital may receive bad publicity from my actions, which is purely political. The pretense that the person might “harm himself” is such an open requirement that it not only allows but actually promotes a casual abuse of power. Just requiring a doctor’s signature when someone’s legal rights are to be deprived them, even for imaginary three day evaluation periods, is simply the allowance by our governments of the casual removal of Canadian’s legal and basic human rights. Pretending that because someone who has a piece of paper that allows him to claim a title means that somehow all those people are beyond the corruption of ordinary people is not only delusional but in actual fact simply an abusive means to circumvent all the laws that supposedly give and protect people’s legal and basic human rights in Canada.
Do I feel safe anywhere now after being threatened to be disappeared Canadian Style and when it has been proven over and over again that I do not really have any legal or human rights that cannot be casually deprived me, by basically anyone at all it seems, and that I can be picked up by the police to be delivered to my abusers at any time of their choosing? Would I feel safe enough to want to go to that hospital or to even wish to see any doctor again for any medical problem after these repeated abuses against me, and after also being told that only four doctors in Barrie are qualified to perform a simple testicle removal that I have been seeking from the medical community to end a severe pain I have to endure? If the doctors are not even capable of performing a simple procedure that farmers regularly do successfully then why would I believe I can trust their ability to do anything else, especially when so many doctors in my past have proven to be uncaring, incompetent, and so casual in their malpractices against me as well? Do I feel I can try to get police assistance if I need it or feel safe when I see police anywhere near me now, after it has been repeatedly proven to me that life in Canada is equivalent to living in an abusive dictatorship where people without influence or money can be casually picked up by the police then disappeared? What a joyful system Canada has for sadistic psychopaths to join and hide in while they practice their abuses.
I have not done anything illegal or abusive to warrant being repeatedly dragged away to be threatened and abused. The actions of the RVH representatives have always been purely political and to hide me and my viewpoints from possible public notice. I come from an abusive childhood and have to already struggle to act like not everyone in our society is abusive, so having doctors and psychiatrists who are supposed to help people constantly engaging in such casual abuses and threats against me only makes it that much harder for me to want to chance associating with anyone in society. Just to make it clear, I have no influence or money and can be made to disappear quite easily because I only associate slightly with one person and she would not pursue my disappearance so as not to draw attention her way.
Sincerely,

Healthcare Abuse in Canada
The following documents some of the abusive attitudes enacted by and promoted by Canada’s doctors because they don’t have to concern themselves with any competition or worry about any reprisals for their actions. I sent the following to hospitals involved, Barrie’s Mayor, and federal and provincial government cabinet members to let them know that I would post this in a few days if I’m ignored, to see if anyone would want to bother trying to help me receive a simple operation to eliminate one of the daily pains I have to endure, or to see if they would all be totally unconcerned with my suffering or of my telling people about the repeated abusive medical practices enacted against me over the years and everyone’s lack of concern with trying to change anything. I had also previously sent the politicians and RVH other e-mails to try to get anyone to just stop and think then act intelligently, but no such proof of intelligence emerged. I present details about the medical condition to explain the logic for the pain reliving operation, and also present previous abuses against me by the medical community to show the devil may care abusive mentality of the failing medical system in Ontario, Canada. Too many people in Canada are suffering pain for way too long, and even dying, because of our “caring” doctors and hospitals greed and lack of patient concern.
Canada’s Healthcare Failure
We have taxpayer paid healthcare here in Canada, and too many of our hospital leaders and doctors believe they have the right to demand we citizens just shut up and do what we are told. They are under the impression that we live in a dictatorship and they are the ruling class that gets to dictate what medical procedures they will choose to put us through. In their world the less wealthy and less influential people do not deserve pain relief or quick quality care as we are basically just living dummies to do with as they please. Because the doctor’s organization in Ontario is allowed to self regulate their profession they have been able to manipulate the system to ensure we do not have enough doctors in our province for every citizen to have their own, so we do not have the option to change doctors if we have one that proves to be abusive and/or incompetent. A lack of doctors is common place in all the provinces in Canada, more than likely due to the same reasons of self governance and corruption. Like occurs within any monopoly the doctors and hospitals have recognized their ability to get away with being abusive towards and uncaring about their customers, and realize they do not have to care about the costs or quality of the product or service they provide. The doctors only fear their own regulatory bodies, so they can be expected to tow the party line of the upper echelon leaders regardless of the wasteful and abusive practices they see if they want to continue to practice medicine in Canada.
My most recent bad experiences with our “caring” medical profession have occurred with the Royal Victoria Hospital here in Barrie, Ontario. The most recent abuse I encountered there was when I went in to ask them to schedule a simple two minute operation to eliminate severe pain I am experiencing, but because I informed them that the pain cause was probably also responsible for another problem the doctor decided to put me on a waiting list to see an already too busy specialist about the secondary problem and totally ignored the primary problem and my pain. The specialist is so busy I would basically be expected to wait weeks or months just for an initial introductory visit for him to then tell me the procedures that they will conduct on me if I want to receive any treatment at all. I had told them several times that I came to the hospital to specifically seek the operation to end the pain. The doctor I saw after I was directed to go through the emergency department to follow their procedures that are apparently designed more to increase hospital income than to provide quick quality care was incapable of, or simply unwilling, to make a decision to allow scheduling the procedure I wanted with an additional recommendation for an ultrasound test to see if the growth had material other than just liquid inside which could indicate a potential cancer concern. I expected the desire for and allowed the ultrasound to be done to eliminate any valid reason for them to not quickly perform the operation. They don’t want to give us less wealthy or less influential people drugs to relieve our pain, nor are they willing to do a minor operation in a timely manner to eliminate a pain source even if the patient has specifically requested it and the data supporting the operation’s validity and safety is there. There is a sadistically vile attitude promoted in the medical profession that shows a general lack of concern for people’s pain as they seem to take pleasure in increasing and/or dragging out someone’s pain instead of helping the person.
I attended the RVH because I have damage to the cord tubing where it attaches to one of my testicles and I wanted the testicle removed to end the ongoing pain that damage is causing. I had doctors check it out at the Ottawa Civic Hospital two decades ago and was basically told there was nothing they could do to fix the problem with the “cyst” and that it would simply fill up again if they drained it. The pain was less then, and they were not capable of relating my frequent urination need that they were also trying to solve at the time to the cyst type swelling on my testicle. The doctors used ultrasound to eliminate a cancer concern but they did not notice that the growth was covering part of the cording joining the testicle to my body. The growth was not spherical but misshapen and a doctor indicated it may have been caused by a reaction to sperm cells that somehow ended up migrating into the wrong place, which is a reasonable hypothesis. The size of it and the pain it’s causing had increased recently so I used a syringe to drain it and discovered then that the originating location is the tube where it joins the testicle not the testicle itself. Yes, draining it was very painful. The size of the bad section, and its location, rule out cutting the bad section out and sewing together the cord tubing edges so if I want a permanent solution to end this pain it means removing the testicle. The procedure is covered by our taxpayer paid health care system do to the reason for the operation (it’s not a cosmetic procedure) and they have again done the ultrasound testing to prove no cancer concern, but the hospital is refusing to do the operation because I do not want them wasting taxpayer money or dragging out my pain by doing other tests that are not needed at this point and more than likely never will be. The hospital refuses to follow my wish to stop wasting time chasing my frequent urinary need and address this priority painful concern. I believe the secondary problem will also be solved if the priority problem is addressed, but they can only see a means of helping someone in their profession suck more money out of the taxpayer’s purse. If they are not competent enough to properly address this simply solved priority pain problem of mine in an intelligent and timely manner then why would I wish to allow them to put me through any of their other testing or experimentations for a problem doctors have already previously proven incapable of diagnosing and that will probably cease if they’d bother addressing my priority problem that only has one solution? DUH!!!
The RVH had also previously abused their position of authority and illegally locked me up for a weekend one time to hide my being on a hunger strike against a local McDonald’s during a weekend festival event in the city. They had already engaged in that so-called mental evaluation (that magically occurs without a physiatrist even talking to or testing someone’s reasoning ability) of locking me up for the legal three day evaluation a couple of weeks earlier simply because I was involved in a legal non-abusive protest against one of their prominent businessmen. Another time I was treated like trash by the doctor attending me when I was taken to the RVH by ambulance after being beat me up by two people at the rooming house where I had to live because of my low income, as it was basically assumed that I must just be trash and have deserved it anyway because I lived in a place like that.
In the Ottawa Civic Hospital I had a doctor, who was teaching others at the time, diagnose me as to being someone just looking for pain killers simply by looking at my recent hospital visits and without even bothering to see me. A competent doctor, who is not just someone who in not afraid of casually and arrogantly engaging in medical malpractice, would know that even if the patient is a proven hypochondriac the individual may actually have a valid problem during one of his/her visits so should never be instantly dismissed or diagnosed without being seen. I had been in the hospital about 3 times in the previous few months concerning pulled muscles and tendentious. If he had bothered to ask me if there had been any changes in my lifestyle or work activities, I could have informed him that I had gone from a very sedentary life with no exercising to carrying around two four inch suitcases full of mail to deliver around Parliament Hill with my new security posting to the Privy Council of Canada. Instead he taught the newest budding doctors how to casually engage in malpractice against people of low income or without influence who don’t matter.
.
At the General Hospital in Ottawa I saw a so-called expert doctor concerning damage to my feet who lied about the damage being a structurally caused arthritis, which resulted in my being denied workmen’s compensation for the injuries I sustained from work on Parliament Hill. Years later I found out that there is no structural fault with my feet but it was too late. An x-ray is enough to prove structural damage or not and I’m sure a basic x-ray was part of their regiment of tests, so he is either massively incompetent or he deliberately lied. Doctors have no problem sucking every dime they can from the public purse by making people schedule repeat visits if they wish to address more than one problem so they can keep their schedules full to maintain a steady high income, yet too many also feel it is their job to prevent people from receiving the work insurance they have been paying into when they have a valid claim of being injured at work.
At the Winchester Hospital I had been taken in by ambulance in severe pain from a back problem I’ve had undiagnosed for decades that sometimes becomes far worse than a kidney stone pain event. The ambulance people could realize I was in severe pain and couldn’t even get their readings, like for blood pressure and pulse, do to the spasms I would encounter with every little bump in the road. At the hospital I was ignored and apparently assumed to be lying about the pain because I had been there on my own earlier complaining about the pain and received a prescription for a few Tylenol threes. They did not work and the pain increased in severity instead to the point that I would have pushed a button to die if I had one to end the pain. I should have accepted the first desire of the ambulance people to go to the Cornwall hospital and maybe there I would have been treated with some decency, but I was in a lot of pain and Winchester was the closest hospital and I stupidly thought someone would help me. I also attended the Winchester hospital with kidney stones on a different occasion and the pretense of pain relief they gave me did nothing, which they unconcernedly noticed, so my pain only stopped after I passed the stone.
When I asked my most recent doctor about some dark patches I noticed on my back after a shower he took a quick glance from across the room and said, “I don’t see anything. It must have been dirt”. I scrapped those “dirt” patches off over a period of months, and still occasionally find another, and when removed well they tend to not re-grow at the same specific spot. When I told him about pain in my fingers he didn’t check them out but simply said, “It’s probably arthritis”, then ignored me. When I try to get him to do anything he doesn’t follow up and then tells me that I am supposed to push him to do things, but of course the few times I did try to get him to do more he’s threatened me with, “Maybe you should find another doctor”. Recently I was trying to get him to determine the reason for the daily pain in my back and frequently informed him the pain was lower back on the left hand side. After needing to be pushed to do more than order an x-ray of my lower spine, and my being threatened a few times with my finding another doctor, all he bothered to order was a CAT scan for the dead center of my lower spine. I asked why he didn’t check to the left of my lower spine and he tried to blame me because when I first mentioned the pain I said maybe it’s a disk damaged on the left. Many times I had said lower back on the left side, but that was ignored. When I confronted him about not ordering any tests to the left of my lower back he blamed me and also said there are no tests that can be done to look at the lower left of someone’s back. Finally he offered to send me to a back specialist, only because I kept pestering him to try to get him to do something, but the specialist is in Toronto and I’m living on provincial disability that has 70% of my income going just to pay rent so I cannot afford the cost. The Ontario Disability Support Plan that I’m on will reimburse me something like 6 or 8 cents per kilometer for transportation costs, but I have to outlay the money first and that amount would not even cover the return bus ride to Toronto. Of course I have no intention of ever seeing Dr. Ozimok again, so I’ll probably never have my own doctor again and have to always go to clinics or hospitals if I want to try to get someone to address any of my medical concerns in the future. I’ve paid additional attention to the beginning of my back pains since the spinal x-ray and have noticed it doesn’t begin at the spine then include the muscles to the left but actually most times begins with the muscles and then includes the spine. I’ve received kicks there as a child and also had some bad bangs and pulls to the lower back area during my youth that left me temporary unable to move due to the severity of the pain, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the damage is that some of the muscle is actually separated from where it connects to the bone instead of it just being muscle that never healed properly due to repeating tearing (one possibility).
Too many hospitals and doctors in Canada are not willing to show respect for patients if their income doesn’t reach a certain level. They flip us in and out of their offices as quickly as they can like burgers being flipped at McDonald’s during rush hour. Doctors, and clinics, only want to address one thing during a person’s visit to ensure we have to make too many repeat visits, which means that large numbers of people cannot therefore have a doctor to see because the doctors are too busy repeatedly flipping the ones they have to always keep their schedules full to keep their steady big bucks rolling in. They demand we get on long waiting lists to see the too few too busy specialists available and have a bunch of tests performed even when they are not needed, so their profession can suck every dime they can from the taxpayer’s purse at the expense of providing quick and respectful care to the patient while they pretend they are just being thorough. They will deny us a two minute surgery that would end our pain (and that a farmer could perform) unless we abide by their desire to help them suck every dime they can from the system over a period of months or even longer first, and their consistent excuse for not providing pain killing drug relief is that we might become addicted or become resistant and have to receive a stronger dose. Their attitude is that all people who don’t have community influence or an income of a certain level are liars, drug addicts and everything else that is vile, so if we complain about pain we are only looking for drugs like the trash we are. Their belief also seems to be that all poorer people are also too stupid to understand what they the gods can, so we are only useful as living dummies for practicing procedures at their convenience and to boost their income.
If any country wants to copy our so-called healthcare system then the citizens better be prepared to give up their rights to make their own decisions regarding their health. Our hospitals and doctors believe they are the ruling dictators and the rest of the people simply clueless living dummies for them to do with as they please, unless they may have influence or a certain income level of course. The Royal Victoria Hospital’s “kind and caring healthcare professionals” have chosen to deny me reasonable healthcare to help me with my pain because I am simply poor trash to be abusively used for financial gain. I have informed everyone I’ve contacted that I will eventually do the operation on myself. I will try the streets and/or the internet to see if I can get powerful painkilling drugs so I can remove the testicle myself, then I’ll show up at the RVH to see if anyone will bother to sew me up and provide me with the antibiotics I’ll need to stave off infection that will otherwise probably kill me. I have informed RVH of this specific plan.
I have tried to get the RVH to just do the minor operation I am supposedly medically and legally entitled to, and also contacted provincial and federal politicians and departments to see if they’d bother trying to get someone at the hospital to do their job, but the silence returned and lack of any intelligent response proves they all think I should just shut up and preferably just die. The only responses I’ve received have directed me to the RVH “Patient Representative” James Sweeney who has told me that I should just be quiet, and that they have their procedures. Basically, “Just shut up and do what you’re told.” The RVH leaders have apparently decided that ignoring my severe pain and the simple solution to ending it is the path they wish to take. I’ll go a couple of weeks or all next month without eating depending on what it will cost me for the drugs, because I want enough of them to test them first to see if they are actually painkillers and how much I should use to still be able to function well enough to reasonably perform the procedure. I will simply use your basic thread to tie off the cording and just wrap my open scrotum in bandaging and not concern myself with infection, considering the environment I’ll be cutting myself open in anyway, but instead leave it up to RVH doctors to bother with or not. Of course I will take pictures and document the hospital abuse I’m sure they will throw my way in their righteousness for my daring to remove the severe pain causing damaged testicle that they refused to remove for me.
I informed the RVH and the politicians I contacted that I would resort to posting on the internet if they proved unwilling to help me receive the surgery to stop the pain. Those people apparently don’t care about the negative attention that may result, or about providing reasonable medical services. Of course if I was wealthy or influential then they would have not treated me this way as instead I would have received the operation swiftly and received pain relief until the surgery actually occurred. It has been weeks now since I first went to the hospital to try to get this simple quick operation to end this specific pain source. They have the same God given freedom of choice of character as everyone else on the planet, so just like the rest of us they can choose actions to improve things to help their fellow man or to act abusively against others of their race. They have proven their choice of character.
I sent the first draft of the above information to the hospitals and politicians, and two previous e-mails, and they chose to ignore them and instead are apparently just waiting and hopping I’ll quickly perform the operation on myself without proper medical supplies and hopefully just die and go away. There are a lot of people in the world who choose to be lazy and therefore incompetent in their employment, and who are too selfish to give a damn about other people or even our entire race. Recently I’ve also tried to get local Barrie politicians and city administrators to care about needless threats to children in our Barrie parks areas, and the fire department to care about working fire detectors in all apartment buildings in the city and implementing proper testing procedures to better ensure this, and of course everyone involved also proved to be unconcerned with reducing threats to others or about doing their jobs right. Kind of makes me feel warm and fuzzy all over when I constantly encounter such selfish shallow people in positions of authority when I offer up information. So many people so frequently prove by their actions that they haven’t got the time to concern themselves with showing care and kindness to others or of improving anything in our society.
I come from an abusive childhood and constantly running into so many abusive people over and over again, especially when they work in fields where the people supposedly care about others, certainly doesn’t make it any easier for me to believe there might be someone else in this world besides me who actually cares about people or about doing his or her job right. It saddens me immensely to so repeatedly be encountering so many people who choose to be so callous and lazy. Whether I live or die after I perform the operation at this point is not really that important to me. If I die all my pains will end and no one will be able to dish out any more abuse against me, so I’ll still be ahead. I have no family to consider and I actually do believe in God and that my death will not be final unless He says so. This does not mean I wish to die, or that I will encourage it to occur, but simply that my possible death is an outcome that is quite acceptable to me and not a determent to my proceeding.

Today, July 20, 2009, I received a letter from the Canada Revenue Agency that I was expecting. They disallowed my claim for disability because they require form ## filled in by a doctor to verify you are disabled. They know the situation with doctors in Canada and I have correspondences with CCP in which they confirmed that they have on doubt that I am disabled, and that they have received a doctor’s correspondence verifying so as well, and the only reason I was disapproved was due to the fact that the last time I had paid into CCP was greater than X years prior to my application. Shall I waste my time writing about the absurd practice of implementing a requirement that some disabled people cannot provide to receive the tax benefit, and maybe also present the reasoning that I have also been receiving provincial disability for a few years now as proof that I am disabled? Intelligence applied would dictate that there is sufficient information to give reason to believe I am disabled but I highly doubt anyone would care to know about or bother themselves with the facts, because their only concern will be that a specific form must be filled out by a currently imaginary doctor that I do not have access to in the world of reality that I live in.

In the Ottawa Civic Hospital I had a doctor, who was teaching others at the time, diagnose me as to being someone just looking for pain killers simply by looking at my recent hospital visits and without even bothering to see me. A competent doctor, who is not just someone who in not afraid of casually and arrogantly engaging in medical malpractice, would know that even if the patient is a proven hypochondriac the individual may actually have a valid problem during one of his/her visits so should never be instantly dismissed or diagnosed without being seen. I had been in the hospital about 3 times in the previous few months concerning pulled muscles and tendentious. If he had bothered to ask me if there had been any changes in my lifestyle or work activities, I could have informed him that I had gone from a very sedentary life with no exercising to carrying around two four inch suitcases full of mail to deliver around Parliament Hill with my new security posting to the Privy Council of Canada. Instead he taught the newest budding doctors how to casually engage in malpractice against people of low income or without influence who don’t matter.

At the General Hospital in Ottawa I saw a so-called expert doctor concerning damage to my feet who lied about the damage being a structurally caused arthritis, which resulted in my being denied workmen’s compensation for the injuries I sustained from work on Parliament Hill. Years later I found out that there is no structural fault with my feet but it was too late. An x-ray is enough to prove structural damage or not and I’m sure a basic x-ray was part of their regiment of tests, so he is either massively incompetent or he deliberately lied. Doctors have no problem sucking every dime they can from the public purse by making people schedule repeat visits if they wish to address more than one problem so they can keep their schedules full to maintain a steady high income, yet too many also feel it is their job to prevent people from receiving the work insurance they have been paying into when they have a valid claim of being injured at work.
At the Winchester Hospital I had been taken in by ambulance in severe pain from a back problem I’ve had undiagnosed for decades that sometimes becomes far worse than a kidney stone pain event. The ambulance people could realize I was in severe pain and couldn’t even get their readings, like for blood pressure and pulse, do to the spasms I would encounter with every little bump in the road. At the hospital I was ignored and apparently assumed to be lying about the pain because I had been there on my own earlier complaining about the pain and received a prescription for a few Tylenol threes. They did not work and the pain increased in severity instead to the point that I would have pushed a button to die if I had one to end the pain. I should have accepted the first desire of the ambulance people to go to the Cornwall hospital and maybe there I would have been treated with some decency, but I was in a lot of pain and Winchester was the closest hospital and I stupidly thought someone would help me. I also attended the Winchester hospital with kidney stones on a different occasion and the pretense of pain relief they gave me did nothing, which they unconcernedly noticed, so my pain only stopped after I passed the stone.
When I asked my most recent doctor about some dark patches I noticed on my back after a shower he took a quick glance from across the room and said, “I don’t see anything. It must have been dirt”. I scrapped those “dirt” patches off over a period of months, and still occasionally find another, and when removed well they tend to not re-grow at the same specific spot. When I told him about pain in my fingers he didn’t check them out but simply said, “It’s probably arthritis”, then ignored me. When I try to get him to do anything he doesn’t follow up and then tells me that I am supposed to push him to do things, but of course the few times I did try to get him to do more he’s threatened me with, “Maybe you should find another doctor”. Recently I was trying to get him to determine the reason for the daily pain in my back and frequently informed him the pain was lower back on the left hand side. After needing to be pushed to do more than order an x-ray of my lower spine, and my being threatened a few times with my finding another doctor, all he bothered to order was a CAT scan for the dead center of my lower spine. I asked why he didn’t check to the left of my lower spine and he tried to blame me because when I first mentioned the pain I said maybe it’s a disk damaged on the left. Many times I had said lower back on the left side, but that was ignored. When I confronted him about not ordering any tests to the left of my lower back he blamed me and also said there are no tests that can be done to look at the lower left of someone’s back. Finally he offered to send me to a back specialist, only because I kept pestering him to try to get him to do something, but the specialist is in Toronto and I’m living on provincial disability that has 70% of my income going just to pay rent so I cannot afford the cost. The Ontario Disability Support Plan that I’m on will reimburse me something like 6 or 8 cents per kilometer for transportation costs, but I have to outlay the money first and that amount would not even cover the return bus ride to Toronto. Of course I have no intention of ever seeing Dr. Ozimok again, so I’ll probably never have my own doctor again and have to always go to clinics or hospitals if I want to try to get someone to address any of my medical concerns in the future. I’ve paid additional attention to the beginning of my back pains since the spinal x-ray and have noticed it doesn’t begin at the spine then include the muscles to the left but actually most times begins with the muscles and then includes the spine. I’ve received kicks there as a child and also had some bad bangs and pulls to the lower back area during my youth that left me temporary unable to move due to the severity of the pain, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the damage is that some of the muscle is actually separated from where it connects to the bone instead of it just being muscle that never healed properly due to repeating tearing (one possibility).
Too many hospitals and doctors in Canada are not willing to show respect for patients if their income doesn’t reach a certain level. They flip us in and out of their offices as quickly as they can like burgers being flipped at McDonald’s during rush hour. Doctors, and clinics, only want to address one thing during a person’s visit to ensure we have to make too many repeat visits, which means that large numbers of people cannot therefore have a doctor to see because the doctors are too busy repeatedly flipping the ones they have to always keep their schedules full to keep their steady big bucks rolling in. They demand we get on long waiting lists to see the too few too busy specialists available and have a bunch of tests performed even when they are not needed, so their profession can suck every dime they can from the taxpayer’s purse at the expense of providing quick and respectful care to the patient while they pretend they are just being thorough. They will deny us a two minute surgery that would end our pain (and that a farmer could perform) unless we abide by their desire to help them suck every dime they can from the system over a period of months or even longer first, and their consistent excuse for not providing pain killing drug relief is that we might become addicted or become resistant and have to receive a stronger dose. Their attitude is that all people who don’t have community influence or an income of a certain level are liars, drug addicts and everything else that is vile, so if we complain about pain we are only looking for drugs like the trash we are. Their belief also seems to be that all poorer people are also too stupid to understand what they the gods can, so we are only useful as living dummies for practicing procedures at their convenience and to boost their income.
If any country wants to copy our so-called healthcare system then the citizens better be prepared to give up their rights to make their own decisions regarding their health. Our hospitals and doctors believe they are the ruling dictators and the rest of the people simply clueless living dummies for them to do with as they please, unless they may have influence or a certain income level of course. The Royal Victoria Hospital’s “kind and caring healthcare professionals” have chosen to deny me reasonable healthcare to help me with my pain because I am simply poor trash to be abusively used for financial gain. I have informed everyone I’ve contacted that I will eventually do the operation on myself. I will try the streets and/or the internet to see if I can get powerful painkilling drugs so I can remove the testicle myself, then I’ll show up at the RVH to see if anyone will bother to sew me up and provide me with the antibiotics I’ll need to stave off infection that will otherwise probably kill me. I have informed RVH of this specific plan.
I have tried to get the RVH to just do the minor operation I am supposedly medically and legally entitled to, and also contacted provincial and federal politicians and departments to see if they’d bother trying to get someone at the hospital to do their job, but the silence returned and lack of any intelligent response proves they all think I should just shut up and preferably just die. The only responses I’ve received have directed me to the RVH “Patient Representative” James Sweeney who has told me that I should just be quiet, and that they have their procedures. Basically, “Just shut up and do what you’re told.” The RVH leaders have apparently decided that ignoring my severe pain and the simple solution to ending it is the path they wish to take. I’ll go a couple of weeks or all next month without eating depending on what it will cost me for the drugs, because I want enough of them to test them first to see if they are actually painkillers and how much I should use to still be able to function well enough to reasonably perform the procedure. I will simply use your basic thread to tie off the cording and just wrap my open scrotum in bandaging and not concern myself with infection, considering the environment I’ll be cutting myself open in anyway, but instead leave it up to RVH doctors to bother with or not. Of course I will take pictures and document the hospital abuse I’m sure they will throw my way in their righteousness for my daring to remove the severe pain causing damaged testicle that they refused to remove for me.
I informed the RVH and the politicians I contacted that I would resort to posting on the internet if they proved unwilling to help me receive the surgery to stop the pain. Those people apparently don’t care about the negative attention that may result, or about providing reasonable medical services. Of course if I was wealthy or influential then they would have not treated me this way as instead I would have received the operation swiftly and received pain relief until the surgery actually occurred. It has been weeks now since I first went to the hospital to try to get this simple quick operation to end this specific pain source. They have the same God given freedom of choice of character as everyone else on the planet, so just like the rest of us they can choose actions to improve things to help their fellow man or to act abusively against others of their race. They have proven their choice of character.
I sent the first draft of the above information to the hospitals and politicians, and two previous e-mails, and they chose to ignore them and instead are apparently just waiting and hopping I’ll quickly perform the operation on myself without proper medical supplies and hopefully just die and go away. There are a lot of people in the world who choose to be lazy and therefore incompetent in their employment, and who are too selfish to give a damn about other people or even our entire race. Recently I’ve also tried to get local Barrie politicians and city administrators to care about needless threats to children in our Barrie parks areas, and the fire department to care about working fire detectors in all apartment buildings in the city and implementing proper testing procedures to better ensure this, and of course everyone involved also proved to be unconcerned with reducing threats to others or about doing their jobs right. Kind of makes me feel warm and fuzzy all over when I constantly encounter such selfish shallow people in positions of authority when I offer up information. So many people so frequently prove by their actions that they haven’t got the time to concern themselves with showing care and kindness to others or of improving anything in our society.
I come from an abusive childhood and constantly running into so many abusive people over and over again, especially when they work in fields where the people supposedly care about others, certainly doesn’t make it any easier for me to believe there might be someone else in this world besides me who actually cares about people or about doing his or her job right. It saddens me immensely to so repeatedly be encountering so many people who choose to be so callous and lazy. Whether I live or die after I perform the operation at this point is not really that important to me. If I die all my pains will end and no one will be able to dish out any more abuse against me, so I’ll still be ahead. I have no family to consider and I actually do believe in God and that my death will not be final unless He says so. This does not mean I wish to die, or that I will encourage it to occur, but simply that my possible death is an outcome that is quite acceptable to me and not a determent to my proceeding.

Today, July 20, 2009, I received a letter from the Canada Revenue Agency that I was expecting. They disallowed my claim for disability because they require form ## filled in by a doctor to verify you are disabled. They know the situation with doctors in Canada and I have correspondences with CCP in which they confirmed that they have on doubt that I am disabled, and that they have received a doctor’s correspondence verifying so as well, and the only reason I was disapproved was due to the fact that the last time I had paid into CCP was greater than X years prior to my application. Shall I waste my time writing about the absurd practice of implementing a requirement that some disabled people cannot provide to receive the tax benefit, and maybe also present the reasoning that I have also been receiving provincial disability for a few years now as proof that I am disabled? Intelligence applied would dictate that there is sufficient information to give reason to believe I am disabled but I highly doubt anyone would care to know about or bother themselves with the facts, because their only concern will be that a specific form must be filled out by a currently imaginary doctor that I do not have access to in the world of reality that I live in.
