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 the STONEWALLING  of Dr. Anderson's concerns by two previous Ministers of Health & 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 blog 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"

Dr. Anderson has received no reply to his letters sent to Hon. G. Zwozdesky dated May 28, 2011 and June 29, 2011.

SHAME ON TWO DEANS OF MEDICINE

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.

WHO ARE THESE DEANS?  WHY SHAME?

Both Deans of Medicine at the University of Alberta, have compromised their ethics and morals; one before a class of graduating medical students and the other before all Albertans.

These deans are Dr. Philip Baker and Dr. Lorne Tyrrell.

DR. PHILIP BAKER


Dr. Baker resigned his position of Dean of Medicine & Dentistry, University of Alberta on June 17, 2011.  His reason for resigning was that his address to the graduating class of Medical
Students was plagiarized from a speech by Dr. Atul Gawande (Stanford University).  In his resignation he was most apologetic and remorseful to the students and the University of Alberta.
His resignation was accepted by the University of Alberta,  His penalty fort this outrageous act is -
the University of Alberta has granted him a FOUR MONTH LEAVE OF ABSENCE WITH FULL PAY before returning to the University of Alberta as a professor. Some penalty - a four month holiday with pay!
What meaning does Morals & Ethics have for the University of Alberta?

DR. LORNE TYRRELL


This man has shamed himself before all Albertans.  He is a former Dean of the College of Medicine & Dentistry of the University of Alberta. He is currently Chair of the Health Quality Council of Alberta.
He is willfully hiding from Albertans, wrongdoing of the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta.  He has compromised his morals and ethics and has failed in his responsibility in the Health Care of Albertans.

DEANS IN ACADEMIA (past and present) must display rigid morals and ethics to students and all citizens. These two former deans have failed.

Albertans demand that the University of Alberta deal firmly with breaches of ethics and morality within the university.

                         ALBERTANS DEMAND MORALS IN THEIR
                                   HEALTH CARE AUTHORITIES

DR. LORNE TYRRELL CHARGED WITH WRONGDOING

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.


COMMENTS ON EX-PREMIER ED STALMACH
    This man has STONEWALLED Albertans in their Health Care since becoming premier of Alberta.  He has not reformed;
    he continues to stonewall Albertans.  Please refer to all postings on Blog Site:
                            Http://medics-fail-to-self-regulate.blogspot.com


DR. LORNE TYRRELL CHARGED WITH WRONGDOING


This man is the "TOP OFFICIAL" on the Health Quality Council of Alberta (HQCA).
He is the "Chair of Governance" of this body.
Why do Albertans Charge Dr. Tyrrell with Wrongdoing?


Dr. Douglas L. Anderson delivered the following "REGISTERED LETTER" to Dr. Tyrrell dated
June 15, 2011:

" Please find enclosed a copy of my Blog Posting dated May 14, 2011.
Http://medics-fail-to-self-regulate.blogspot.com.  Would you kindly answer the following questions?

1. What was the purpose of the meeting on September 30, 2010 of
             Dr. Lorne Tyrrell - Chair of HQCA
             Dr. John Cowell - CEO of HQCA
             Dr. Douglas Anderson                                ?

2. What was accomplished during this meeting on Sept. 30/10?

3. Why did you accept on loan (Sept. 30/10), my personal files detailing the wrongdoing of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA)?

4. Why did you not return my personal files to me for over seven months, despite numerous requests for their return?

5. Why have you refused to correspond with me?

6. Why have you refused to meet with me to discuss wrongdoing of the CPSA?

7. Why have you refused to comment on any of my three documents?

Despite your refusal to correspond with me, would you please answer the above questions. All Albertans await your reply"


Dr. Anderson has not received a response from Dr. Tyrrell. Because of the Strike of the Canadian Postal service, Dr. Anderson delivered personally the above letter for Dr. Tyrrell to the office of the HQCA
(519, 10235   101  Street,  Edmonton) on June 15/11.
WHY HAS THERE BEEN NO RESPONSE FROM DR. TYRRELL?  Dr. Tyrrell has demonstrated that he knows where Dr. Anderson's home is located in Edmonton. Dr. Tyrrell knows Dr. Anderson's telephone number. Dr. Tyrrell knows Dr. Anderson's email address.

Why is Dr. Tyrrell persisting in his stance of ignoring Dr. Anderson?  Why is the HQCA persisting in its stance of ignoring Albertans?

WOULD DR. LORNE TYRRELL PLEASE ANSWER THE ABOVE QUESTIONS?
ALBERTANS ARE WAITING

DEMOCRACY IN ALBERTA,   CANADA




Premier Ed Stelmach was elected by Albertans to serve Albertans.
Premier Stelmach is the "top" PUBLIC SERVANT of Alberta. His function is to serve Albertans.

How is it possible for a Public Servant to REFUSE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS presented to that servant by those people who elected that servant to speak for them? Democracy Demands that the Public Servant Communicates with those people who entrusted the servant and put the servant into a position of responsibilty.

Unfortunately, PUBLIC SERVANT ED STELMACH  refuses to communicate with Albertans, the people who entrusted  him with their voice.

Will Premier Stelmach please answer the questions that Albertans are asking him on Blog Site:

PREMIER STELMACH REFUSES TO ANSWER SURGEON'S QUESTIONS


The following questions were asked of Premier Stelmach  many months ago by many Albertans.  Unfortunately Premier Stelmach is "unable"  to answer the following questions:


1. Would you please confirm for me my understanding that the Government of Alberta has the ultimate & final resposibility & authority of assuring that all Albertans receive the best possible health care?


2. Why did it take five months of receiving numerous registered letters concerning Patient Neglect & Needless Suffering, before the Dept. of Health (Minister Dave Hancock) was stimulated to contact Dr. Anderson?


3. Are the Senior Staff Doctors of the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta and the Medical Doctors serving on the Council of the College, "Regulated Members "  of the College?


4. Why was Ms. P. Meade appointed to HEAD the new Health Super Board after she demonstrated clearly unethical & irresponsible performance while serving as Deputy Minister of Health & Wellness?




       WHY WOULD PREMIER ED STELMACH REFUSE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS
                                  PRESENTED TO HIM FROM 
              ALBERTA  SURGEON  DOUGLAS L. ANDERSON, MD., FRCS(C)?


Albertans are awaiting Premier Ed Stelmach's answer.

TYRRELL-STELMACH SLY ALLIANCE

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.

Weekly report ending May 22/11 on Premier Stelmach and his political henchmen, is unfortunately what all Albertans expected - a further week of Stonewalling and no communication by Premier Stelmach on the issues outlined by Dr. D. Anderson.


TYRRELL - STELMACH  ACT  SECRETIVELY


PARTIES


1. TYRRELL: This is the HQCA FACTOR in this alliance.
     Dr. Lorne Tyrrell is the "top" official of The HQCA (Chair of Governance).

2. STELMACH: This is the GOV. OF ALBERTA FACTOR in this alliance.
    Ed Stelmach is the Premier of Alberta ("top" official in the Gov. of Alberta).

SECRECY OF THESE TWO PARTIES


In this alliance, these two parties have full knowledge of the proven wrongdoing of the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA) as revealed by Dr. D. Anderson's three documents, and yet they continue to  STONEWALL ALBERTANS:

1. " Ministers of Stelmach Government Refuse to Answer Surgeon's Questions ".
2. " The Anderson Journal on the Hon. Dave Hancock ".
3. " Addendum to the Anderson Journal on the Hon. Dave Hancock ".

REFUSALS DISPLAYED BY THE TYRRELL-STELMACH ALLIANCE


The Stelmach Factor & the Tyrrell Factor refuse to expose the wrongdoing of the CPSA to Albertans.
Evidence of refusal to expose CPSA by these two parties is clear:

1. Premier Stelmach has refused to acknowledge receipt of numerous Registered Letters (yet alone address the contents) sent to him by Dr. D. Anderson for almost 4 years, concerning the wrongdoing of the CPSA and the neglect of his ministers on this issue!

2. Dr. Lorne Tyrrell has refused to:
- meet with Dr. Anderson
- correspond with Dr. Anderson
- comment on Dr. Anderson's above three documents.

AUTHORITY OF AUTHORITIES


1. STELMACH FACTOR - GOV. OF ALBERT (grants) TYRRELL FACTOR - HEALTH QUALITY COUNCIL OF ALBERTA -  the authority to conduct a "REVIEW" of the "ills" of the Alberta Health Care System. This is complicated by the fact that both Stelmach & Tyrrell have refused to reveal to Albertans the wrongdoing of the CPSA.
DOES THIS NOT MAKE ANY "REVIEW" A SHAM?


2. TYRRELL FACTOR - HQCA.  Dr. Lorne Tyrrell has been fully informed of the wrongdoing of the CPSA and has taken no action.  The Board of Governance of the HQCA (of which Dr. L. Tyrrell is the Chair) has the Authority to fire any employee of HQCA who does not act in the public interest to protect the health of Albertans.


3. The Stelmach Government has the authority to dismiss the Board of Governance of the HQCA for failure to act in the best interests of Albertans in their health care.




Albertans have the right to know why they are not being informed about the WRONGDOING OF THE COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS & SURGEONS OF ALBERTA.  This wrongdoing is one of the important "ills" of the Health Care System of Alberta.


AN OPEN PUBLIC JUDICIAL INQUIRY IS ESSENTIAL
to examine these ills.

SHAME ON DR. LORNE TYRRELL

over 30 years before retirement.

Weekly report ending May 15/11 on Premier Stelmach and his political henchmen, is unfortunately what all Albertans expected -  a further week of  Stonewalling & no communication by Premier Stelmach on the health care issues outlined by Dr. D. Anderson.


                                       DR. LORNE TYRRELL
                                  CHAIR OF GOVERNANCE
                 HEALTH QUALITY COUNCIL OF ALBERTA


EVIDENCE FOR SHAME ON DR. LORNE TYRRELL


It is sad what has happened to Dr. Lorne Tyrrell. He has so many honored achievements including:

1. Former Dean of Medicine & Dentistry - University of Alberta.
2. Former Councilor of the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta.
3. Current Officer of the Order of Canada by the Government of Canada.

Yet, he has failed in the eyes of Albertans in his responsibility for their Health Care.

TYRRELL RETURNS PRIVATE FILES IN SHAME - MAY 12, 2011


Between 8:00 am and 4:30 pm


After ignoring Dr. D. Anderson's multiple requests to Dr. Tyrrell since Sept. 30/10 for a return of his private files loaned to Dr. Tyrrell, the first contact of Dr. Anderson with Dr. Tyrrell was an undated, unsealed piece of paper left in Dr. Anderson's home mail box, which was a photocopy of a message written by Dr. Tyrrell which stated  "Dear Dr. Anderson. I have been to your house twice to deliver your notes and unfortunately I have not felt comfortable in leaving them without giving them to you or your wife personally.  Please send me your phone number to my e-mail so I can deliver your papers.  My e-mail is  lorne.tyrrell@ualberta.ca   -  Lorne Tyrrell".

Questions:
1. Why would Dr. Tyrrell not find Dr. Anderson's phone number easily in the Edmonton phone book or from previous correspondence with himself or employee, Dr. John Cowell (CEO - HQCA)?
2. Why would Dr. Tyrrell not use any one of a number of commercial delivery companies to return Dr. Anderson's files to him?

An undated, unsealed, photocopied piece of paper left in a mailbox is a most unprofessional way of communicating with anyone!

At 6:10 pm


Dr. Lorne Tyrrell delivered personally to Dr. Anderson at the Anderson's residence front door the personal files that Dr. Anderson had been requesting repeatedly since
Sept. 30/10.

The events of May 12 show Dr. Tyrrell's phony behaviour.

DR. LORNE TYRRELL MUST EXPLAIN TO ALBERTANS


Dr. L. Tyrrell is the "top" official of the Health Quality Council of Alberta (HQCA).
He is the Chair of Governance of this body.  This is the body that Premier Stelmach has entrusted to "Clear the Air" of the serious ills that confront Albertans with their Health Care, through a "REVIEW".

To earn the trust of Albertans,  Dr. Tyrrell must inform Albertans on the following:

1. Meeting of Drs. Tyrrell, Cowell & Anderson - Sept. 30, 2010
     - What was the purpose of this meeting?
     - What was resolved during this meeting?
     - What was Dr. Tyrrell's reason for accepting Dr. Anderson's files on loan to him which detailed the      
        wrongdoing of the CPSA?

2. Why did Dr. Tyrrell not return to Dr. Anderson his private files on the wrongdoing of the CPSA until May 12/11 (a period of over 7 months) despite numerous requests for their return?

3. Why would Dr. Tyrrell refuse the following, during the period Sept. 30/10 to May 12/11:
     - refusal to meet with Dr. Anderson over suggested reforms to the CPSA?
     - refusal to correspond with Dr. Anderson?
     - refusal to address Dr. Anderson's three documents?
        (outlined in Blog Postings: http://medics-fail-to-self-regulate,blogspot.com)

4. Why would Dr. Tyrrell (or agent) leave a completely unprofessional piece of paper in Dr. Anderson's home mail box?

5. Why would Dr. Tyrrell deliver the requested private files to Dr. Anderson personally, when commercial delivery is readily available?

6. Why would Dr. Tyrrell turn over the private files of Dr. Anderson face to face with Dr. Anderson, then turn and silently walk away from Dr. Anderson, without any comment on all of the above concerns of Dr. Anderson?

Dr. Lorne Tyrrell is hiding wrongdoing of the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta from public exposure - WHY?


Is this appalling behavior of Dr. Tyrrell concerning health care issues brought to his attention by Dr. Anderson, the moral and ethical standard  by which Albertans wish to entrust their health care through a "REVIEW by the HQCA (of which Dr. Tyrrell is the "top" official?


An Open Public Judicial Inquiry is Essential


ALBERTANS ARE ENTITLED TO IMMEDIATE COMMUNICATION
FROM DR. LORNE TYRRELL AND PREMIER ED STELMACH
