                   HON. GENE ZWOZDESKY IGNORS WRONGDOING OF
     COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS & SURGEONS OF ALBERTA (CPSA), AND
  WRONGDOING OF HEALTH QUALITY COUNCIL OF ALBERTA (HQCA)

Dr. Douglas Anderson has sent three letters to Hon. G. Zwozdesky, Minister of Health and Wellness, concerning wrongdoing of CPSA and HQCA. Unfortunately all three letters have been ignored - Why?

LETTER DATED MAY 28, 2011
Dr. Anderson sent this letter to all MLAS of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta which resulted in positive action by MLAS who informed many of their constituents of this wrongdoing. Hon. Ken Kowalski recognized this wrongdoing in his reply to Dr. Anderson and sent a copy of his letter to Hon. G. Zwozdesky.  Hon. G. Zwozdesky failed to acknowledge receipt of Dr. Anderson's letter.  This letter of May 28/11 states:

" As you are aware, there is a serious problem of WRONGDOING involving the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta. Would you kindly inform your constituents of this wrongdoing by directing them to Blog Site:
Http://medics-fail-to-self-regulate.blogspot.com
This site details the wrongdoing. Would you please copy this letter to members of your constituency executive for distribution.  This will assist in informing Albertans"


LETTER DATED JUNE 29, 2011
The following Registered Letter was sent to Hon. G. Zwozdesky from Dr. D. Anderson:

" Please find enclosed a copy of the letter I sent to you at your Constituency Office dated May 28, 2011. Please find enclosed a copy of my letter to Dr. P. White, President of the Alberta Medical Association, dated June 27, 2011. 
Please find enclosed a copy of a letter from the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta (Ken Kowalski) to me dated June 7, 2011,and copied to you in which he recognizes wrongdoing by the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta and the Health Quality Council of Alberta.  As Minister of Health & Wellness I am sure that you are very concerned about wrongdoing by the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA) and the Health Quality Council of Alberta (HQCA) as detailed at my Blog Site:Http://medics-fail-to-self-regulate.blogspot.com    Please find enclosed a copy of my Blog Posting of Jan. 27/11.
You are no doubt very concerned with the contents of my document 'Ministers of Stelmach Government Refuse to Answer Surgeon's Questions' which details STONEWALLING of Dr. Anderson's concerns by two previous Ministers of Health and Wellness along with their deputies in the Stelmach Government.
Would you kindly comment for Albertans on the contents of Dr. Anderson's three documents as detailed at the above site?
It is most important that all wrongdoing by CPSA & HQCA be shown clearly to Albertans so that proper corrections to the Health Care System in Alberta will be instituted. I (along with all Albertans) await your early reply to this letter".


LETTER DATED JULY 7, 2011
The following Registered Letter was sent to Hon. G. Zwozdesky from Dr. Anderson:

" I sent you a REGISTERED LETTER dated June 29, 2011 (copy enclosed). I closed this letter with - 'I (along with all Albertans) await your reply to this letter'.  In this letter I showed serious wrongdoing by the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA) & the Health Quality Council of Alberta (HQCA) with the following enclosures:
1.Letter  May 28/11: Dr. D. Anderson to Hon. G. Zwozdesky
2. Letter June 27/11: Dr. D. Anderson to Dr. P. White.
3. Letter June 7/11: Hon. K. Kowalski to Dr. D. Anderson.
4. Copy of Blog Posting Jan. 27/11 on Site:
Http://medics-fail-to-self-regulate.blogspot.com
Since my first letter to you dated May 28/11 (copy enclosed) I have received no communication from you!
ALBERTANS AWAIT YOUR EARLY REPLY TO THIS LETTER".


It would appear that  Hon. Gene Zwozdesky is continuing the same policy of STONEWALLING
Dr. Anderson as has been demonstrated in the past by Premier Ed Stelmach and two previous Ministers of Health & Wellness in the Stelmach Government, Hon. Dave Hancock and Hon. Ron Liepert.

ALBERTANS WAIT PATIENTLY FOR COMMUNICATION ON THIS WRONGDOING FROM MINISTER OF HEALTH AND WELLNESS, HON. GENE ZWOZDESKY.

AMA ACCEPTS WRONGDOING OF MEDICS

Douglas L. Anderson MD., FRCS(C) is the owner of this Blog Site.  Dr. Anderson is a 
retired Eye Surgeon, having conducted his surgery in Edmonton, Alberta  Canada for
over 30 years before retirement.

ALBERTA MEDICAL ASSOCIATION (AMA) ACCEPTS WRONGDOING
OF THE COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS & SURGEONS OF ALBERTA (CPSA) &
WRONGDOING OF THE HEALTH QUALITY COUNCIL OF ALBERTA (HQCA)

Dr. Patrick White (President of the AMA) sent the following letter to Dr. Douglas Anderson
dated July 21, 2011:

" I was asked to respond to your registered mail package containing letters about your concerns with the functioning of the College of Physicians & Surgeons and the Alberta Government. The Alberta Medical Association does not have the mandate to follow up on your request. Accordingly, we are returning your correspondence".


The letterhead on AMA stationery states " PATIENTS FIRST " Registered Trade Mark.
This means PATIENTS NEEDS SUPERSEDE - AMA needs; CPSA needs; HQCA needs
                                                                                  & Stelmach Government needs.
The Website of the AMA states:


MISSION: The AMA stands as an advocate for its physician members, providing leadership and support for their role in the provision of quality health care.
VISION:  Patients First .  Patients First compels the AMA to advocate "value to patients".
                  Value for Patients - Registered Trade Mark  expresses a 365-day-a-year commitment to pursue
                  and support ideas and initiatives that provide real value for our patients.
ROLE: The AMA makes every effort to ensure physicians are involved in the health care 
              decision-making and their voices are heard - by government, Alberta Health Services,
              other health care professionals and the public. Communication is a priority internally 
              with members as well as externally with government and the public.


It is obvious that the concerns of all Albertans on the wrongdoing of the CPSA and HQCA fall within the "Mandate" of the AMA.

Dr. Anderson's letter to Dr. White darted June 27, 2011 states:

"I am a retired Ophthalmologist having conducted my surgery in Edmonton for over 30 years before retirement. I am very concerned about the wrongdoing of the CPSA and the HQCA. I have been STONEWALLED by the Stelmach Government and the HQCA. In January 2011, I established a Blog Site to record this wrongdoing:
Http://medics-fail-to-self-regulate.blogspot.com  Please find enclosed copies of the postings on this site relative to the HQCA:
1. Jan.27/11: Who Does the CPSA Protect?
2. Feb. 21/11: Dr. Anderson Asks HQCA for Help.
3. Mar. 16/11: HQCA - Trustworthy?
4. Mar.31/11: HQCA Fails
5. Apr. 13/11: Selmach using HQCA to Hide Truth.
6. May 5/11: Coverup by Health Care Authorities.
7. May 14/11: Shame on Dr. Lorne Tyrrell.
8. May 21/11: Tyrrell - Stelmach Sly Alliance.
9. June 22/11: Dr. Lorne Tyrrell Charged with Wrongdoing.
10. June 23/11: Shame on Two Deans of Medicine.


I suggest that the AMA review my private files on the wrongdoing of the CPSA which I am happy to release on loan.  Would you kindly obtain answers to my questions directed to Dr. J. Cowell (CEO-HQCA) and Dr. L. Tyrrell
(CHAIR-HQCA)  as both of these doctors refuse to correspond with me.
It is clear that the HQCA is not a suitable body to expose the ills of the Health Care System of Alberta.  An Open Public Judicial Inquiry is essential. I look forward to your reply to this letter and trust that you are able to obtain answers from 
Drs. Cowell & Tyrrell to my questions".


Addressing and trying to solve serious wrongdoing within the Health Care System of Alberta is certainly within the "Mandate" of the Alberta Medical Association and should be pursued promptly.

Would Dr. Patrick White, President of the Alberta Medical Association, please put
" PATIENTS  FIRST " and provide Albertans with a reply to this letter and Blog Posting.

Dr. Anderson sent a Registered Letter to Dr. White on July 27 with a copy of the current Blog Posting -
" AMA Accepts Wrongdoing of Medics " enclosed.

CANDIDATE HON. ALISON REDFORD ACCEPTS WRONGDOING


Hon. Alison Redford has started her campaign to win the leadership of the Alberta Progressive Conservative Party and become the next Premier of Alberta.

Unfortunately there is proof of wrongdoing of the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA) and wrongdoing of the Health Quality Council of Alberta (HQCA) which Alison Redford  refuses to acknowledge and correct.

Proof of this wrongdoing is detailed at Blog Site:

Http://medics-fail-to-self-regulate.blogspot.com

Hon. Alison Redford is a lawyer with distinction (QC), who recently resigned her position as Minister of Justice in the Stelmach Government, in order to make her bid to become leader of the Alberta Progressive Conservative Party and the next Premier of Alberta.  Unfortunately, Alison Redford has failed Albertans - she has:

1. Refused to acknowledge receipt of Dr. Anderson's three documents or make any comment on the contents therein.

2. Refused to answer important questions contained in Dr. Anderson's document " Ministers of Stelmach Gov. Refuse to Answer Surgeon's Questions".

3. Refused to answer Dr.  Anderson's questions on the breakdown of self-regulation in the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta.

4. Would not accept her responsibility and suggested the problems Dr. Anderson presented to her should be handled by hired private legal counsel.

5. Failed to understand why a breakdown in self-regulation in the CPSA cannot be solved by an appeal of a patient complaint.

( Ref:  Blog Posting "ALLISON REDFORD FAILS " - Feb. 23/11 )

Albertans demand that all candidates seeking leadership of the Alberta Progressive Conservative Party, address this proven wrongdoing of the CPSA and the HQCA.

ALBERTANS AWAIT HON. ALISON REDFORD'S PROMPT RESPONSE

HON. KEN KOWALSKI ENDS THREE YEAR SILENCE ON JUNE 7, 2011

Hon. Ken Kowalski is the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta.
On June 7, 2011 Hon. Ken Kowalski sent Dr. D. Anderson the following letter:

"Thank you for your letter date May 28, 2011 regarding the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta and the Health Quality Council of Alberta. Please be assured that I appreciate your comments in this regard.  Again, thank you for sharing this information with me".

Hon. Ken Kowalski copied this letter to Hon. Gene Zwozdesky -  WHY?




WHAT IS THIS THREE YEAR SILENCE?


On June 7, 2011 Hon. Ken Kowalski broke the three year silence of the Stelmach Government on
WRONGDOING of the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta, and later the WRONGDOING of the Health Quality Council of Alberta.
The last time that the Stelmach Government contacted Dr. D. Anderson was a letter from Hon. Dave Hancock (Minister of Health & Wellness) dated March 25, 2008 in which he dismissed Dr. Anderson
(concerning Patient Neglect & Needless Suffering) - this is well over three years ago!


(Reference:  "The Anderson Journal on the Hon. Dave Hancock".


WHAT HAPPENED ON JUNE 7, 2011?


Hon. Ken Kowalski recognized wrongdoing of the College of Physicians & Surgeon's of Alberta and wrongdoing of the Health Quality Council of Alberta and yet he had to inform his cabinet colleague
Hon. Gene Zwozdesky (Minister of Health & Wellness) of this wrongdoing - even though each of these ministers were sent the same letter, on May 28, 2011 concerning this wrongdoing.

Why Has Hon. Gene Zwozdesky Not Contacted Dr. Douglas Anderson?

THE ANDERSON JOURNAL ON THE HON. DAVE HANCOCK 


This Journal (July 2008) was sent to Premier Stelmach and other authorities in Health Care Management for Albertans'.  Why has Premier Stelmach and other Health Care Authorities refused to comment on the contents of this document?

"HON"? Dave Hancock was finally Stimulated - Why?

After ignoring Dr. Douglas Anderson's multiple registered letters for over five months the "HON"
Dave Hancock finally contacted Dr. Anderson, after receiving a letter 7 days earlier.  WHY?
The answer is - Hancock's extreme embarrassment over his extreme incompetence.

( The answer to why is?  # 3 in Letter - Anderson to Theman Nov. 21/07 in the "Anderson Journal on the Hon. Dave Hancock").


Why have the following "Health Care Authorities" in Alberta refused to acknowledge Dr. Anderson's document
" THE ANDERSON JOURNAL ON THE HON. DAVE HANCOCK " ?
     
1. Premier Ed. Stelmach
2. D. Hancock
3. R. Liepert
4. R. Stevens
5. A. Redford
6. T. Theman
7. J. Bell
8. H. Woytiuk
9. J. Cowell
10. L. Tyrrell



ALBERTANS AWAIT ANSWERS FROM THESE "AUTHORITIES".
