I feel your pain. I have bulging disc on L3,4,5 & S1, Si joint pain all on my left side. I also recently had an knee allograft from a donor on my left knee. WC says I can go back to work and gave instructions for me to stand every 15 minutes to alleviate back pain.
These medical consultant really work you over - they are dishonest and in receipt of payola from the WCBs - If your rep has been trashed by these quacks, you have to go to RATEMDS and make a comment, over the last year, dozens of these charletans have had their Proffessional reputation thrashed by dozens of WCB clients, they fear having their credentials slammed- because they will never be able to get a client outside their WCB gravy train
Hope things are better for you and you're out of pain. I fractured T4 T5 T6 and herniated L5-S1 so I know what you have been through. Mine was military related so I didn't have your struggle there but I know so many who have. Just keep fighting them.
This is just great. After my third knee surgery(pcl), Physio`s stretched pcl too far trying meet wcb`s demands. WCB says my knee is only 4% damaged and compared it to a "Zit on my ass". Now surgeon says my knee totally screwed. Now WCB cut my pay from $1900/month down to $800/month. They are using the: "Lets starve him back to work" method. No wonder, people want to walk into their building with a gun!!!!
Be in charge of your case. WCB has 100's of cases, you only have 1. So how can they focus on you as well as you can? Stay on top of it on a daily basis. These are your benefits and rights. If it takes 10 phone calls in one day, so b...e it. Keep a list of EVERYONE that you speak to. Record names, dates, times and the topic/answers.
I talked to Ernie Chabonole from the Merchant Law Group, he said they take WCB claims all the time. As of right now, ALL injured workers reading this, there is a Harper youtube blog to post questions towards the Prime Minister. Better get on there and post away, I did.
Hey, did you phone the Merchant Law group in Regina? I just did and the lawyer is suppose to return my call. As of now, WCB is threatning to cut me off if I don`t go to school for a different career since I can`t go back to what I loved to do. This is twice now that the physios who are run by WCB, has screwed my knee with their physio tactics and here I sit to be blamed and threatened....I just don`t understand???
This is how the system treats injured workers. It is not you it is the SYSTEM.. Now EXPOSE what and how you are being treated.. If you sit back and think it will all work out then you are only kidding you self.
Thay treat you like a rat in a cage and after awhile we start to think it was our fault. IT IS NOT YOU ITS THEM !!! ASK EVERYONE!!
Let me know if any Canadian lawyer will actually take the WCB on. I have tried lawyers from Edmonton to Winnipeg, including Merchants, and once they find its with the WCB, their whole attitude changes.
Hey I was informed today from another injured worker, to try for CPP long term disability. Have you tried this route? If so, how did it work out for you?
Yes I have gone through this all ready and if you have not settled with WorkSafe yet i would advise you not to, If you do they deduct it off your long term disability , And remember when you turn 65 WorkSafe cuts you off that is when you will need CPP. DO NOT APPLY YET !!
WCBTV, why don`t you get ahold of Tony Merchant of Merchant Law Group from Regina Sask, they take on all big cases and with all your documents, he would fight like heck and get every penny coming to you. The good thing, he doesn`t cost a dime only if he wins and he always does. He was the lawyer who fought the tobacco companies and won! I`ve been thinking of getting him to fight WCB in Saskatchewan.
On September 11/09 I got my decision letter from WCAT, ACCEPTED !!! There message was stop screaming 911and I have also won my last 2 reviews. Why did I have to fight so hard to get acceptance for my injuries ?? When I first started protesting 3 years ago I had 3 injuries accepted on my claim Now there are 15, how did they miss 12 major injuries ??
Lucky for you John, I was severely injured due to my claims adjudicator who purposely denied me my physicians requests and warnings. My complaints to Sk, Premier, Justice Minister's, WCB Ministers, Canadian Justice Minister Rob Nicholson, Human Rights, all denied any investigation into the FRAUDULENT CLAIMS ADMINISTRATION that was used to purposely cripple me.
OHS was informed about WCB sending me back to work driving a semi-truck on Oxycontin / Morphine / Muscle relaxants, and they DON'T CARE;
Alberta WCB are bastards, but BC's is way fucking worse- I had a small accident in Nelson when somebody opened a door in my face, black eyes, broken nose, smashed glasses - they would'nt even pay for glasses let alone the weeks work I lost waiting for the swelling to go down. shit man , i'm sorry. violence is beginning in Alberta people are starting to take things into their own hands.
there is a byelection in Calgary it is expected the first of many PC's is getting the boot
WCB, WorkSafe B.C it's all the same, they try and screw everyone makes no difference it's all about money and the Government supports it ! Fight Worksafe B.C
There are thousands upon thousands of us who can relate to the pain he is suffering. If my body can ever heal from recent multiple injuries, it will be a miracle.
Thank God for doctors, family and true friends, music ... and mom who taught me how to smile for the camera - no matter what. I needed to see your video today to reaffirm that there are survivors. THANK YOU!
Good job john, im 12 and even i know that the world is full of greedy fuck's that scam you for your hard earned dollars. Just because its government based does not mean they're in it for the peoples best interests. The prescriptions they shove down your throats are almost all bad for your biological system. On this earth there is a herbal remedy for almost all problems that face the human body. The "drug" or what i call it the "gift" : weed treats many medical problems.
Furthermore WCB is crown corp. therefore politicians feel it their place to provide jobs through nepotism and cronyism. They feel WCB main purpose is to provide cush job to the friends or family. They come first you second.
That cop that abused you blongs in the slammer. I have MS and cops have jacked me up thinking I'm drunk due to poor balance. Too many cops always looking for action to jack some up...
Thanks for all your help John! I would be left in the dark with Worksafe B.C.if I didn't have your advice. You are a stand up guy always helping others!
Good to be able to offer some assistance Jason It helps me when helping others when dealing with Worksafe B.C policies and rules. Once you get hurt its a whole different set of rules that need to be followed in order to get proper diagnosis and help with your injuries
No it is not but WorkSafe B.C DOSE NOT CARE.. they break family's apart and move on to the next one... NO COMPACTION !!! JUST EVIL !!!!! WorkSafe B.C will try and DESTROY YOU !!
If you are fighting Worksafe B.C and you have been seriously injured I bet by the time you are though you will have a lawyers back ground in policies regarding WorkSafe B.C.. I know I read the manual every day !!! Fighting Worksafe B.C is the hardest thing I have ever had to do !!!!
Absolutely one word is right theft,theft of our lives,keep up the fight,it really does help encourage others to see other injured workers fighting the corparate giant,and i know myself i'm just about at that stage of enough,and it's been 3 years for me,support injured workers.
Injured workers need to stand and fight for there rights !! We pay for insurance why do we have to FIGHT IF WE GET HURT !!!! If you have been hurt on the job and are fighting to get compensation for your injuries and feel like they are out to get you.. YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!! WorkSafe B.C, WCB treats all injured workers the same.. LIKE CRIMINALS !!!! Help EXPOSE THE TRUTH INJURED WORKERS STAND UP AND BE HEARD !!!!
your vid looks great big guy, your info and proof is perfect and well timed,you show just how bad our system is in canada,I know this vid will turn heads and open eyes,..Very well done
the time is coming where we will not have a choice, FORCED VACCINATION, GUN COLLECTION, dissident round ups, re-education centers, food regulation, water regulation, child regulation, all in the name of your safty.
When you are injured in Canada, you will be accused as a malingering faker, diagnostic tests will be denied or they will be performed very limited so your injury will not be properly diagnosed;
Then you will be thrust into a physiotherapy program were your complaints will be discarded and you will be further injured and receive NO HELP;
If you protest,you will be tasered, and you will be KILLED;
Canada is unaware of the corruption that is allowed to exist, workers compensation is legalized FRAUD
Assuming we could trust our Government. I have become skeptical about that. But yes, change is needed, and the only way it's going to come about is if we organize and start tackling this at a grassroots level. I don't want to start offering ideas until I have a better grasp of what is already being done. It does, however occur to me that we need to raise funds to help the injured workers in greatest need. I know what it's like to go days on end with no food. Sucks if you are already ill.
they want you to suffer they find it humorous they tweak the system to satisfy their sick needs.i tried for a decade to get drs to listen free will and i drank rivers of whiskey .still the pain continued everything gone now but soon(im taking too long to die) their living relatives will hear their suffering as i have suffered and like them i will be relentless compcamp 76
John, your absolutely right; Worksafe BC is trying to push you to suicide; God help anyone severely injured in Canada; Only severely Injured or disabled workers, will know how corrupt everyone is in the delivery of compensation to SIW'S;
In Jan 03, I injured my right shoulder, however due to Sask WCB's, intentional FRAUDULENT negligence in the administration of my injury claim, I suffered multiple spinal injuries and further left shoulder injury that was + is being DENIED any MEDICAL HELP;
I was a structural ironworker No more all because a Moron Surgeon whom said to me " Ahhh 6 weeks you`ll be back to work " that was almost 5 yrs ago! Ok I got retrained and now I have carpal tunnel both hands a trigger finger R hand. The Medcial advisor says they are reviewing my case cause my carpal tunnel is caused by : My being a bit over weight, A slight depressive disorder induced by WCB,and I smoke.Apparently thats their reason for reviewing my case. Assholes the lot of them!
John's situation isn't all that strange. From what I understand, many of us did the same as him. I never looked after my files, or recorded any of the results of phone calls or letters. Then I went through a long blank (drugged) time, when I really don't know what I did. Seeing my file, finally, was shocked at what had been going on. Its stupid. Trying to pretend nothing happened, and nothing changed was the stupidest thing I have ever done. And now....??
Agree, I have been fighting this for 7 years and loss everything, and I had to sell my car, paid $55,000 and had to get rid of it for $6,000, to pay for a legal malpractice lawyer. paid $50,000 for an appeal for personal injury case and now appeal a second time in "Pro Per", loss my home, 401k, health and everything. Strength Numbers! The gov. is diverting money from workers compensation, disability, social security, vet funds, the doctors, lawyers & judges are all enchoots.
I have done my research and 8-12 years seems to be the normal for seriously injured workers fight to get compansation from the board..
If you think its going to be any quicker your in a dream world along with WCB.. FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT !!!! Seriously Injured workers are forced to live in poverty and suffer from mental illness due to the processes WCB puts injured workers through o try and force them back to work.. Fighting WorkSafe B.C is the hardest thing I have ever had to do !!
What you are doing is important for all of us disabled citizens. I come from the disability thing from a slightly different angle but all of us have different stories. My experience has been similar to yours: homelessness, chronic pain, feeling suicidal. Unfortunately I have yet to get ANY help from doctors as I continue to languish on waiting lists (2 1/2+ yrs!) to even get seen! I have no choice but to self medicate. Costs are through the roof. No doubt all this sounds familiar. Stay strong!
I feel your pain. I have bulging disc on L3,4,5 & S1, Si joint pain all on my left side. I also recently had an knee allograft from a donor on my left knee. WC says I can go back to work and gave instructions for me to stand every 15 minutes to alleviate back pain.

My Experience's under The WCB Policy is That The Agents LIE CHEAT & FRAUD.
The WCB Brochures are Full Of Bullshit ! Its sales: Really Fraudulant Advertising.
The WCB Contracted-OUT Mc-re-hab Services Clinics GETS PAID OUT FOR FRAUDULANT REPORTS.
The 3rd party Patients (you) do not get copies .The WCB is the paying client !
The WCB INSURANCE POLICY Helps protect Employers from Getting Sued !
Limiting Liability Paid to Injured Workers!
