MINISTRY OF HEALTH (MINISTER SARAH HOFFMAN) STILL REFUSES TO COMMUNICATE WITH SURGEON DOUGLAS ANDERSON ON WRONGDOING

Since the Notley Government was elected in May 2015, Surgeon Anderson has received no communication from the Alberta Ministry of Health (Minister Sarah Hoffman) in response to his deep concerns pertaining to proven wrongdoing by authorities in the Alberta Health Care System.
The only response Surgeon Anderson has received from the Notley Government are two emails that he received from two MLA Constituency Assistants, as follows:

1. Dec. 14, 2016: Katy Campbell (Hon. M. Schmidt)- "Thank you for getting in touch with us.  I know Minister Schmidt enjoyed the game.  I called my counterpart at the Edmonton-Riverview constituency office to enquire as to the status of your file there and it sounds like they are actively working to keep up to date on developments as they come in.  The caseworker there, Bo Zhang, has just requested another update from the Health Ministry. I would suggest getting in contact with him for further information. You can reach him by email at bo.zhang@assembly.ab.ca   Kind Regards".

2. Jan. 4, 2017: Bo Zhang (Hon. L. Sigurdson)-  "On behalf of Minister Sigurdson thank you for expressing your concerns to our office related to your concerns.  Our office has reviewed your material and have connected with the Ministry of Health regarding them.  Our office has been informed by the Ministry that you have been in contact with them and they have responded to your concerns.
As stated, the Minister of Health does not become involved in individual complaints brought against a regulatory college; however, concerns raised about the actions and decisions of a regulatory college can be brought to the Alberta Ombudsman, who has the legislative authority to investigate such complaints.
If you wish to pursue this matter further, you may contact the Alberta Ombudsman at info@ombudsman.ab.ca or 1-888-455-2756.  More information about the Ombudsman is available at www.ombudsman.ab.ca
As the Government of Alberta does not interfere with private law matters between citizens and other parties, such as physicians, another option is for you to pursue legal action.  The Law Society of Alberta provides a free lawyer referral service which can be utilized by visiting www.lawsociety.ab.ca or by calling 780-429-3343".

ERRORS & QUESTIONS ARISING FROM BO ZHANG'S EMAIL

1. "--- they have responded to your concerns (Alberta Ministry of Health):

Surgeon Anderson's Response: Surgeon Anderson has never received any communication from the Ministry of Health in the Notley Government.

2. "The Ministry of Health does not become involved in individual complaints brought against a regulatory college"

Surgeon Anderson's Interpretation: If more than one citizen complains - then the Minister becomes involved - Is this true?

3. "As the Gov. of Alberta does not interfere with private law matters between citizens and other parties, such as physicians---".

Surgeon Anderson's Clarification: 
"Law Matters" is not the focus of Surgeon Anderson's complaints.  The focus of Surgeon Anderson's complaints is - The Notley Government refuses to discharge its duty to investigate a regulatory college (College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta) with a proven record of failure to protect the public from Patient Neglect, Needless Suffering & Risk of Patient Death.

Would Hon. L. Sigurdson and Hon. S. Hoffman please clarify these errors and answer the questions?

TRUDEAU FEDERAL GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATES NOTLEY ALBERTA PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT'S NEGLECT OF PATIENTS

The Prime Minister's Office (PMO) has informed Surgeon Douglas L. Anderson that the Federal Department of Health (Minister Hon. Jane Philpott) is investigating evidence that shows the Notley Government of Alberta has ignored proven Patient Neglect, Needless Suffering & Risk of Patient Death, evidence that was ignored by the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA) & the Health Quality Council of Alberta (HQCA).
The CPSA has failed to SELF-REGULATE in a manor that assures Patient Safety.
The primary responsibility of a Self-Regulated Body is protection of the public from abuse.
Unfortunately, this protection is absent.
Is an Inquiry not in order?

EVIDENCE IN THIS INVESTIGATION

The Notley Government (& preceding Governments of Alberta under Premiers - Stelmach, Redford, Hancock & Prentice) have refused to address the following:

1. REFUSAL TO ADDRESS: The contents of Blog Site-
http://medics-fail-to-self-regulate.blogspot.ca  -  which records in detail wrongdoing by Health Care Authorities in Alberta.

2. REFUSAL TO ADDRESS INCRIMINATING DOCUMENTS:
(A) "The Anderson Journal on the Hon. Dave Hancock".
(B) "Addendum to the Anderson Journal on the Hon. Dave Hancock".
(C) "Five Tory Ministers of Health - Hide Criminal Negligence for 10 Yrs (2005-2015)".
(C) " Four Tory Ministers of Justice - Abuse Surgeon & Hide Criminality (2008-2015)".

3. REFUSAL TO COMMUNICATE WITH SURGEON DOUGLAS ANDERSON
on wrongdoing by authorities in the Alberta Health Care System.

AT NO TIME SINCE 2005 HAS ANY OFFICIAL REQUESTED A MEETING WITH SURGEON ANDERSON TO DISCUSS HIS CONCERNS WITH THE ALBERTA HEALTH CARE SYSTEM.

HON. M. SCHMIDT & SURGEON ANDERSON CHALLENGE SENIORS IN EDMONTON

The game is badminton at South East Edmonton Seniors Association (SEESA) -Hon. Marlin Schmidt and Surgeon Douglas Anderson played against two senior citizens on Dec. 9, 2016, and lost
"by a hair".
Subsequently, Hon Schmidt contacted Hon. L. Sigurdson concerning wrongdoing by authorities in the Health Care System of Alberta.

WHAT ACTION HAS HON. SCHMIDT TAKEN AGAINST WRONGDOING?

On Dec. 14, 2016, Constituency Assistant to MLA Hon. M. Schmidt, Katy Campbell emailed the following to Surgeon Anderson:

"Thank you for getting in touch with us. I know Minister Schmidt enjoyed the game.  I called my counterpart at the Edmonton-Riverview constituency office to enquire as to the status of your file there, and it sounds like they are actively working to keep up to date on developments as they come in.  The caseworker there, Bo Zhang, has just requested another update form the Health Ministry.  I would suggest getting in contact with him for further information. You can reach him by email at bo.zhang@assembly.ab.ca   Kind Regards.  Katy Campbell"

This email was in response to an email sent to Hon. M. Schmidt from Surgeon Anderson dated
 Dec. 9, 2016 as follows:

" Surgeon Douglas Anderson enjoyed you to be my team mate.  We played vigorously, but "lost by a thread!
You were a very good sport - having not played badminton for many years. 
Unfortunately, we have not won - addressing the wrongdoing of the Health Care Authorities of Alberta.
Could you please address Blog Posting of July 13, 2016? "

QUESTIONS CONCERNING THESE EMAIL EXCHANGES

1. Surgeon Anderson has asked Hon. M. Schmidt if he could please address the Blog Posting of July 13, 2016. Hon. Schmidt evades this request.

2. There are apparently "developments" in exchanges between Hon. Sigurdson and the Department of Health.  Why has Hon. Sigurdson and the Department of Health not seen fit to inform Surgeon Anderson about these "developments"? .

HONOURABLE SIGURDSON CONTINUES TO STONEWALL SURGEON ANDERSON

Hon. Sigurdson has extended her stonewalling of Surgeon Anderson to almost 6 months.
When will MLA Hon. Lori Sigurdson show her honour & basic courtesy by commencing to communicate with her constituent, Surgeon Douglas Anderson?
