PREMIER REDFORD CONTINUES TO REFUSE ADDRESSING THIS WRONGDOING

Premier Redford still refuses to address the contents of this Blog Site!
It is essential for her to address this wrongdoing, not just for consequences for wrongdoers but more importantly, to prevent recurrence of wrongdoing that has caused Patient Neglect and Needless Suffering with risk of Patient Death, that has occurred in the past.

Albertans insist that Premier Redford address this wrongdoing NOW.
This premier has been fully informed on this wrongdoing for over five years (as Premier of Alberta and before that as Minister of Justice in the Stelmach Government).
Premier Redford refuses to act.  This lack of action is unacceptable to Albertans.

Premier Redford's refusal to address this wrongdoing will be posted regularly at this Blog Site.

PREMIER REDFORD - FAILED PROMISES

           PREMIER ALISON REDFORD REFUSES TO ADDRESS 
                       THE CONTENTS  OF THIS BLOG SITE

This Blog Site ( http://medics-fail-to-self-regulate.blogspot.ca) details Criminal Negligence of Premier Redford and her Cabinet.

In Blog Posting January 9, 2013 some of the incriminating evidence was presented

1. Private documents detailing wrongdoing by CPSA, reviewed by Dr. L. Tyrrell and returned to
    Dr. D. Anderson without comment.
2. " The Anderson Journal on the Hon. Dave Hancock"
3. " Addendum to the Anderson Journal on the Hon. Dave Hancock"
4. " Ministers of Stelmach Government Refuse to Answer Surgeon's Questions"
5. "Albertans Ask Premier Stelmach for Answers"
6. "Anderson - Theman Finale "

             PREMIER ALISON REDFORD'S THRONE SPEECH

In Premier Redford's Throne Speech of May 24, 2012 she states the following:

" Your government will promote trustworthy leadership that genuinely takes Albertans' concerns to heart, and establish openness and transparency as guiding principles". Later on she states - " It will treat Albertans with fairness and respect ---".

Premier Redford has not shown trustworthy leadership and has imposed on Albertans, the Antithesis of "open" and "transparent" government.  This premier has stonewalled Albertans on their health care ever since becoming the 14th Premier of Alberta in October 2011 and before that as Justice Minister in the Stelmach Government.

Anyone, including Premier Redford, who refuses to reply to miultiple registered letters over many years, concerning Patient Neglect and Needless Suffering, is indeed showing complete lack of accountability. Stonewalling citizens is the antithesis of democracy.

Continued refusal by Premier Redford to address the contents of this Web Site, will be posted at this site repeatedly until Premier Redford becomes accountable and visible by giving Albertans her response.

CANADIAN CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM-VIOLATION

PREMIER REDFORD HIDES FROM CRIMINAL JUSTICE

In the Canadian Criminal Justice System, proven criminal actions demand consequences.
DEFINITION: CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE -"Reckless Disregard for the Lives or Safety of Other Persons".
There are authorities guilty of Criminal Negligence within the Government of Alberta, The College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA), & the Health Quality Council of Alberta (HQCA) who, despite proven criminal actions (and lack of actions) have avoided consequences by remaining silent and stonewalling Albertans.
Proof of Criminal Negligence of the following persons is detailed at Blog Site:

http://medics-fail-to-self-regulate.blogspot.ca

1. The Government of Alberta: A. Redford, E. Stelmach, D. Hancock, F. Horne, R. Liepert,
G. Zwozdesky, R. Stevens, V. Olson, J. Denis.

2. CPSA: Drs: T. Theman, K. Mazurek, J. Ritchie, J. Bell, H. Woytiuk

3. HQCA: Drs: J. Cowell, A. Fields, L. Tyrrell

None of the above accused officials dare to comment on:

1. The contents of Blog Site: http:/medics-fail-to-self-regulate.blogspot.ca
2. Documents reviewed by these officials:
- Private Documents of Dr. D. Anderson loaned to Dr. L. Tyrrell detailing patient abuse and needless suffering caused by medical doctors (ignored by CPSA) and returned to Dr. Anderson by Dr. Tyrrell without comment.
- "The Anderson Journal on the Hon. Dave Hancock"
- "Addendum to the Anderson Journal on the Hon. Dave Hancock"
- "Ministers of Stelmach Government Refuse to Answer Surgeon's Questions"
- "Albertans Ask Premier Stelmach for Answers"
- "Anderson - Theman Fanale"

PREMIER REDFORD'S BROKEN PROMISES

When elected, Premier Redford's promise to Albertans was "CHANGE".
Unfortunately the Redford Government has proven to be even more unaccountable and invisible than the preceding Stelmach Government from which Premier Redford promised change.

Many Albertans have been alienated from the Ed Stelmach and Alison Redford Governments, Albertans who were previously firm supporters of the Peter Lougheed Government.
The Peter Lougheed Government was based on sound accountability, honesty and visiblily -
very different from the present Redford Government.

The Redford Government has created a culture of intimidation among Albertans (including the Main Stream News Media) by not being honest, accountable and visible.

PREMIER REDFORD - the time has come for REAL CHANGE and not a continuation of your practice of deception and falseness. Many alienated Albertans have withdrawn support from the
Redford Government.

ALBERTA MEDICAL ASSOCIATION IGNORES PATIENT ABUSE

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
                        IGNORES PATIENT ABUSE

The Alberta Medical Association (AMA) stands for "Patients First",
(Registered Trade Mark on AMA letterhead).

Unfortunately, the AMA has ignored Patient Abuse since at least the Blog Posting on this site dated
July 27, 2011 entitled - "AMA ACCEPTS WRONGDOING OF MEDICS".

On September 28, 2012 Dr. D. Anderson delivered the following documents on loan to AMA
(Edmonton Office) for Dr. M. Giuffre's review and comments:
- "The Anderson Journal on The Hon. Dave Hancock".
- "Addendum to The Anderson Journal on the Hon. Dave Hancock".
- "Albertans Ask Premier Stelmach for Answers".
- "Anderson - Theman Correspondence Finale".

Dr. M. Giuffre's letter to Dr. D. Anderson dated October 9, 2012 states -
"As the new president of the AMA, I am writing in response to the package of information that you kindly left at the AMA offices on September 28.
Respectfully, I must give you the answer that you received from my predecessor, Dr. Linda M. Slocombe, when she was president of the association. The AMA does not have a mandate to follow up on your request".  Accordingly I have not provided any commentary on your documentation. I am returning your files per your instructions".

Dr. D. Anderson sent numerous letters to Dr. M. Giuffre requesting clarification on the AMA's stand on ignoring Patient Abuse by medical doctors - Nov.8, Nov. 15, Dec. 7, Dec. 10, Dec. 12 & Dec. 18, 2012.

Dr. M. Giuffre finally replied.  His letter to Dr. D. Anderson dated December 21/12 states -
" Thank you for the correspondence that you have sent with dates between November 8 and December 12.  My answer as provided with the greatest respect in my September 18 letter remains unchanged.
The Alberta Medical Association does not have a mandate to follow up on your requests".

The AMA stands for "Patients First" and yet the AMA ignores proven patient abuse.  Dr. M. Giuffre states that the AMA has no mandate to address patient abuse!

Albertans insist that the Alberta Medical Association address the proven Patient Neglect and
Needless Suffering caused by medical doctors (including the CPSA &  HQCA Medical Staff & Council) - (regardless as to whether AMA has a mandate or not).

This patient abuse is detailed at Blog Site:
http://medics-fail-to-self-regulate.blogspot.ca

Albertans await a prompt response from Dr. M. Giuffre, President of AMA.

MEDICAL COLLEGE PROMOTES PATIENT ABUSE - A SCANDAL

NAME OF COLLEGE:  
THE COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS & SURGEONS OF ALBERTA (CPSA)

The CPSA has shown clearly that it has ignored patient neglect & needless suffering caused by medical doctors.  By ignoring this proven abuse of patients, this College has put at risk all future patients who submit complaints to the CPSA concerning treatment by medical doctors.

The top EMPLOYEES of this College, Dr. Trevor Theman (Registrar) and Dr. Karen Mazurek (Assistant Registrar) have refused to address this abuse of Albertans by medical doctors.  Albertans await a response from Drs. Theman & Mazurek.

The following is even more shocking to Albertans.

THE HEALTH QUALITY COUNCIL OF ALBERTA (HQCA)

This council was created by the Government of Alberta to oversee the quality of health care received by Albertans.

The TOP THREE OFFICIALS of HQCA are:
1. Dr. John Cowell -( CEO of HQCA)
2. Dr. Anthony Fields- ( Chair of Governance of HQCA)
3. Dr. Lorne Tyrrell- (Past Chair of Governance of HQCA)

These three officials refuse to recognize that the CPSA has ignored patient neglect & needless suffering and put Albertans at risk by protecting its medical doctor members.  These three refuse to correspond or meet to discuss severe wrongdoing by employees & Council of the CPSA.
Albertans ask - When will Drs. Cowell, Fields & Tyrrell put PATIENTS FIRST and stop bowing to their "masters" in the Government of Alberta?

ASSISTANT REGISTRAR OF CPSA - HER LIES GROW

DR.KAREN MAZUREK LIES TO ALBERTANS

Dr. Karen Mazurek (Assistant Registrar & Complaints Director)  has stated in her letter to Dr. D. Anderson dated Dec. 5/12 - "--INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE OF UNBECOMING CONDUCT ".

There is proven evidence that the medical practitioners who treated Mrs. Anderson were completely negligent.   Ref: http://medics-fail-to-self-regulate.blogspot.ca
Dr. Mazurek has clearly lied to Albertans.

DR. KAREN MAZUREK IGNORS BLOG POSTINGS

D. Karen Mazurek has ignored the following Blog Postings at -
    http://medics-fail-to-self-regulate.blogspot.ca

1. " CPSA Registrar-Dr. T. Theman hides lies-endangers Albertans " Nov. 14/12
2. " Dr. T. Theman's Incompetence - Albertans await his response "  Nov.  22/12
3. " CPSA Commits Crime Against Albertans " Nov. 27/12
4. " CPSA Lies to Close Patient File " Nov. 28/12.

These postings show clearly - ABUSE OF ALBERTANS - 
by  THE COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS & SURGEONS OF ALBERTA

Albertans await DRS. MAZUREK & THEMAN to address this issue of abuse of Albertans by the CPSA.
 (The issue of  "unbecoming conduct" by medical practitioners who treated Mrs. Anderson has become unimportant even though evidence for a malpractice suit is obvious).

ALBERTANS AWAIT A RESPONSE FROM DRS. MAZUREK & THEMAN

A copy of this Blog Posting is being sent to Dr. M. Giuffre (President of Alberta Medical Association).
Do these two individuals still qualify for membership in the AMA?  Does the AMA not include in its  mandate provisions against its members submitting lies to Albertans?

MEDICAL DOCTOR EMPLOYEE (CPSA) REFUSES TO ADDRESS HER LIES

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.

        DR. KAREN MAZUREK REFUSES TO ADDRESS HER LIES
   SMEARING DR. ANDERSON'S PROFESSIONAL REPUTATION

Following is a letter dated Dec. 5/12 from Dr. Karen Mazurek (Assistant Registrar & Complaints Director) of the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA) sent to Dr. Douglas
Anderson:

" I acknowledge receipt of your Nov. 28/12 letter and enclosures.  I see that the enclosures refer to the College's investigation and management regarding complaint 060421.1.4, a complaint that you lodged against multiple practitioners concerning the care provided to Mrs. Evelyn Anderson.  The College's determination was that there was insufficient evidence of unbecoming conduct.  From the College's perspective, this matter is concluded and will not be reopened given that it was closed more than five years ago"

Dr. Mazurek is the "Resolver of Investigation Report" for patient complaint file # 060421.1.4
She sent this report after her approval, to Dr. Harvey Woytiuk, the Investigation Chairman & CPSA Councilor who closed this file.

In Dr. Mazurek's letter to Dr. Anderson dated March 7/07 the following is included: "Although you feel that Mrs. Anderson's hardware should have been removed ROUTINELY, both Drs. McMillan and Hunka have stated that this is not the usual practice and that hardware should only be removed if problems develop.  The record does not support your allegation that Mrs. Anderson's hardware should have been removed following her surgery in 2006"

The allegation was in fact never made and is a BOLD FACED LIE submitted by Dr. Karen Mazurek.  Dr. Mazurek has stated that Dr. Anderson in fact believes that this hardware and similar hardware in the future should be removed ROUTINELY from the joints of all asymptomatic patients by no later than three months!

 Drs. John Ritchie (Complaint Investigator), Karen Mazurek (Resolver of Investigation Report) and Harvey Woytiuk (Investigation Chairman who closed this file) - if these three - had followed the policy of CPSA laid out by Ms. S. Baron (Manager - Complaints)  "Should additional information or clarification be necessary concerning your documentation, Dr. Ritchie will contact you directly"
(Letter Ms. Barron to Dr. Anderson - Feb. 23/07)

If these three (Drs. Ritchie, Mazurek & Woytiuk) had contacted Dr. D. Anderson directly - this severely flawed and very incompetent report would not have been accepted by any of these three, and patient complaint file # 060421.1.4 would never have been closed until it was truthful and accurate.

Albertans will not accept lies and incompetence from the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta.

DR. TREVOR THEMAN (REGISTRAR)  -  CPSA

It is unbelievable that Dr. Trevor Theman (Registrar & top employee of this College) refuses to correspond or meet with Dr. D. Anderson to discuss proven wrongdoing in the CPSA!

Dr. Anderson has accused Dr. Theman of the following severe wrongdoing and yet he remains silent!  Is he intimidated by others?

1. Refuses to accept proof that the CPSA protects its Medical Doctor Members at the expense of protecting the public.
2. Refuses to investigate proven lies submitted by medical staff employees to justify the closing of Patient Complaint File # 060421.1.4
3. Refuses to acknowledge that the three College Councilors who would have comprised  the Appeal Board for Patient Complaint # 06042114 (if an appeal had been requested) had been fully informed on details of the patient history - well before any appeal would have been heard!
4. Insists that Dr. Anderson apply for an appeal if he is dissatisfied.
5. Refuses to acknowledge that the College Investigation of Patient Complaint # 060421/1/4 was severely flawed and showed gross incompetence.
6. The above 1-5 shows that Dr. Trevor Theman is himself incompetent.
