Healthcare: Workplace Violence - Mandatory

The Issue

I am asking members of the public, my former patients, friends, colleagues, those who have entrusted their care with me and those who know me, to sign this petition and show that I am of good character and deserve to have my license reinstated immediately.

 

  1. This petition asks that the Health Minister produce whistleblower protections that are International Olympic Committee (IOC) and Human Rights compliant (in Massage Therapy), to safeguard athletes and therapists who are experiencing harassment and abuse in sport and general practice.
  2. By signing This petition, you are demanding that the BC Government address the illegal acts and abuse of public trust at the hands of the CMTBC, the RMTBC, the HPRB, etc, that perpetuates the highest abuse rates of any profession in Canada.
  3. This petition asks that all staff, legal council, contractors, un-named/publicized contributors, etc of the CMTBC, RMTBC, and HPRB, prior to the amalgamation of colleges, be banned from holding any position associated with Health Care regulation or within the Provincial Government going forward. 
  4. The names of these people must be publicly posted. Any staff, legal council, contractors, etc of these organizations currently working in the newly amalgamated Health Colleges must be removed from their positions immediately.
  5. Remove the illegal Orders applied to Jeremy Jakobsze, recognize the immunity afforded to him under the Act for reporting dangerous healthcare registrants, and re-instate his RMT license immediately.

Intro

The information provided in this petition is extremely abbreviated and expanded disclosure is prevented by privacy law. Massage Therapy in its present condition is not safe for the public. The public has been purposefully and dangerously misled about who the abusers in Massage Therapy are. Disciplinary Actions and evidence have been falsified for many years.

 

The Health Minister, the CMTBC, the RMTBC, and the EMALB are TERRIFIED that I (and others) will make public disclosures exposing illegal sexual abuse, sexualizing minors, grooming, racism, dangerous mental health illnesses affecting the performance of government and regulator personnel, the sale of patient information to criminal organizations, etc. 

 

My previous lawyer confirmed that there was indeed a “vendetta” against me by the CMTBC and that they were looking for any opportunity to remove my license. This was confirmed during a regular golf outing between my lawyer and the CMTBC personnel.

  

My previous lawyer then worked with the CMTBC for 2 months, without my involvement or consent, to create a guilty verdict prior to the Disciplinary Hearing.

 

The Government, the RCMP, and the media have refused to address violations by this regulator. The public has been harmed and their inaction has perpetuated workplace violence.

 

BC is LAWLESS. Health professionals are lied to when entering training for their respective field. They are taught that they have legal rights and that laws must be followed as they are written in the Acts. Where in reality, healthcare laws are not in force as they are written. There has been no effort by the regulators or the Government to fully inform registrants. It is a bait and switch operation.

 

“An uninformed majority will always lose the battle of information against a well informed minority. When you have hidden information, you can completely manipulate a large group of people."

 

As the Health Minister has stated, the credibility of the health colleges is non-existent. Their board members were found to be acting in opposition to the public’s best interests. These board members, who also serve on the investigative and disciplinary committees, were found to have altered the outcomes of their hearings based on what the Regulator wanted. NOT based on fact or evidence given. Which means the last 10+ years of inquiry and disciplinary hearings are in fact tainted by personal and political motivations, gender prejudice and human rights violations. Health care professionals are abused regularly by these ‘kangaroo courts’. There findings and rulings are invalidated by corruption yet the Provincial government does nothing to protect the most abused profession in Canada.

The public cannot trust ANY healthcare registrant or lawyer working in a position of regulatory authority due to the laws currently being enforced.

The Supreme Court of Canada has decided that the Charter of Rights is irrelevant in relation to Professional colleges actions and conduct. This is stated as being in the public’s best interests.

 

Noa Mendelsoh Aviv, Executive Director and General Counsel of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association

“In court we argued professional regulatory bodies should not be in the business of policing speech that is not clearly connected to professional practice.

Freedom of expression is a right that no individual gives up just because they join a regulated profession.”

Removal of License Not Authorized by Health Professions Act

“The Registration Committee was not satisfied that it had sufficient evidence to assess the good character test on the basis of your reinstatement application, given…the manner in which you have spoken about… and commented about the college in other forums.”

The CMTBC goes on to explain that complaints filed to the Health Minister, OIPC, etc were the reason for removing my license and preventing my re-instatement. The CMTBC has illegally blocked me from even provisionally serving the Order they’ve set out while awaiting the Supreme Court appeal decision.

This isn’t the first, or the last time, that the CMTBC has taken someone’s license for speaking out against them.

Personal history

I was targeted by multiple female members of the RMTBC and CMTBC. I was sexually assaulted, demeaned, humiliated, and extorted when they attempted to gain access to high profile sports athletes, Olympians, film industry personnel, their organizations and my positions in those organizations.

When I spoke out against the workplace violence I suffered, my reputation and my life was destroyed by the CMTBC and RMTBC. I was blacklisted from attaining licensing or employment in multiple other fields I am trained in.

I was licensed as a First Responder through the Emergency Medical Assistants Licensing Board of BC as a requirement for working in international sport and World level events. I was refused licensing by the regulator because of ‘whistleblowing’ about workplace violence. The board showed support for the CMTBC in that registrants cannot speak out about the violence they suffer from regulators.

Sexual Abuse in Massage Therapy

 

Massage Therapy is a female dominated profession in n BC. It is comprised of 80% +/- female registrants. The CMTBC has shaped public prejudice that male Massage Therapists are sexual abusers via the publicized Disciplinary Actions. What the public isn’t made aware of is the large number of female Massage Therapists that are caught sexualizing their treatments. There is little to no punishment for Female Massage Therapists in BC. Females rarely face a $1000 fine without license suspension for having known sexual interactions with their patients.

When male Massage Therapists file lawful, mandatory complaints about unwanted sexual behaviour from female RMTs, the CMTBC has punished disclosure. Punishing the male RMT for ‘sexualizing the treatment environment’ when documenting abuse.


———————————————————————

 

Abuse stats

The Federal Government has defined the CMTBC and RMTBC’s  behaviour as “Workplace Violence”. Comprised of Physical violence, psychological violence, sexual harassment, and financial violence.

 

53% of Health Care workers DO NOT report workplace violence because of reprisals such as losing their jobs. The creators of this culture of ‘abuse acceptance’ are the regulators and employers.

  

Health Care workers experience 4x the ‘reported’ abuse of any other profession in Canada.

 

In a truthful representation of these facts, Health Care workers experience 8x the abuse of any other profession in Canada if it was safe for Health Care workers to report all workplace violence.

 

We are told workplace violence is mandatory by the regulators in BC and by our Health Minister. Going on to state that it is the responsibility of the individual health professional to fight for human rights in court and that it is not the Health Minister and his office’s mandated obligation.

Mr.Jakobsze’s Practice

I am now a retired Registered Massage Therapist (RMT). While serving the public, I did so with distinction, respect, and humility. The vast majority of my work being done under confidential circumstances. Very soon after graduation from the RMT program, my professional skill and aptitude brought me into working along side professional/olympic sport and the film industry. I openly opposed recognition related to my application of health care. Which in turn opened up many more doors of opportunity.

In 2013 I started working for Rugby Canada as a treating therapist for the National Men’s programs.  I was given the honour of directing Massage Therapy and the hiring/supervising of RMTs for the National Men’s 15’s and 7’s programs. This included world events such as the Pacific Nations Cup Tournament, America’s Rugby Championship Tournament, 2015 Men’s World Cup in England, World Rugby Sevens Series at BC Place (1st and 2nd year), and intermittent treatments needed between/during training camps, etc.

I was also tasked with hiring and providing treatment for many of the World Rugby tournament’s guest countries. Maintaining the utmost standards for teams like Japan, Fiji, Tonga, and Samoa, support staff, referees, etc.

My job was to be a protective barrier against any financial, sexual, physical and psychological abuse towards the athletes or film industry personnel under my care, by massage therapists that are hired under a temporary contract. 

Concurrently, due to my skill, experience with world level sporting events and reputation, I’ve worked adjacent to many A list movies and TV shows. Involving some of the most famous people presently in the industry. As well as treating the backbone of Hollywood, The Stunt and stage employees.

It is a very strict environment when considering International Olympic Committee guidelines, World Rugby guidelines, and personnel valued in millions of dollars. I have operated under extremely difficult situations and have done so with the utmost professionalism.

While working in the community, my practice was ‘specialized’ (in easily relatable terms) in treating people that had fallen through the cracks of the medical system. The majority of my patients are people that have been written off by the medical system. Many have been abused by health professionals. A lot of disclosures have been made to me over the years from these patients. I can’t submit complaints on their behalf.

My family has fought for women’s rights for the last 50+ years. My grandmother was one of the first female commanding officers in Canada. She was raped because of her success. My mother was also raped in the same organization. Their calls for help were buried.

My mother was a Licensed Practical Nurse and permanently disabled from workplace violence(assault) and co-worker negligence. She was thrown away by a profession that doesn’t care about its registrants and forced into a life of poverty. My family has experienced abuse in both female and male dominated professions. Neither can be tolerated.

 

https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/cadets

After working closely with doctors and surgeons, I have aligned my standard of care with theirs. Synchronizing my standards with that of some of the top doctors in their respective fields and maintaining that level of care with every patient treated. Regardless of social or economic status.

I succeeded where other professionals failed.

I handled 1600+ emergent/non-emergent appointments per year and worked tirelessly to serve our communities. Often missing holidays, family events, funerals, weddings, etc.

 I have always conducted myself with the utmost of merit, respect, and honesty. I have Stepped on NOONE to achieve success in my life. I am a team builder and a positive force in my community and profession. Known as a trusted ally to many.

Rugby Canada - SafeSport and IOC Policy

Rugby Canada was made aware of the financial, physical, sexual, and psychological abuses (workplace violence) affecting their organization. Female Healthcare registrants were abusing their personnel for the purpose of gaining public notoriety, access to high profile personnel, and employment, dating back to 2014.

Females are currently empowered by the anti-male application of healthcare laws in BC. If a male Massage Therapist in charge of maintaining player/staff welfare, prevents a female therapist from sexually, physically, financially, or psychologically abusing Rugby Canada members by terminating or refusing to hire her, that female therapist, can then easily remove that male therapist from the team and their profession.

 A complaint(s) filed with the CMTBC does not have to be truthful. The Supreme Court has decided that a female doesn’t have to hear, see, smell, or feel, etc, anything happening for a complaint to activate that therapist’s removal from the profession under the ‘extraordinary action’ protocols. The female is then given immunity for making a confidential, vexatious complaint(s). While the abused male Healthcare registrant is publicly shamed and permanently harmed.

This leaves the team environment, and patients open to abuse from an interested party. With zero repercussions for the abuser.

Confidential, vexatious complaints made to Rugby Canada can also be used to remove therapists or personnel without investigation, and prior to any media coverage. Contractors can be terminated immediately without cause. Avoiding any possible negative PR exposure.

Rugby Canada was made aware that female members of the RMTBC and CMTBC posed significant risk of sexual, financial, psychological, and physical harm to their athletes and personnel. Rugby Canada allowed workplace violence to enter their environment.

 Each time I was told that it was my problem to figure out and not to involve Rugby Canada in any of it. Rugby Canada hired me as a contractor, not an employee or ‘member of the team’. I was forced into operating outside of the SafeSport policy and was withheld whistleblower protections. I am unable to report any workplace violence occurring in or around the team environment, or in relation to my position when hiring RMTs. If there is no way to document abuse, it hasn’t happened. Health professionals are expected to file workplace complaints through their own regulatory bodies. Not Rugby Canada or Safesport. Which, as we now know, directly causes the removal of your health care license. Perpetuating a culture of abuse.

I tried to expose workplace violence 7 years prior to the women’s national team filing their complaint. Absolutely nothing was done about it. Being that my complaints were heard only a year after Rugby Canada initiated their new abuse policy in 2013.  I reached out to Rugby Canada recently to identify threats to their athletes, but was ghosted by the executive. Nothing has changed.

The International Olympic Committee has specifically stated that therapists MUST be aware of potential corruption in the authorities we are mandated to report to. Whether it be Rugby Canada, SafeSport, the CMTBC, the RMTBC, the Health Minister, the RCMP, etc. Athlete welfare is paramount. There has been documented cases of athlete suicide when calls for help are not heeded. Therapists must use their best judgement when reporting abuse and be cautious of the political motivations present.  

IOC on Abuse and Impact on Sport,

“From an organisational perspective, the impacts of harassment and abuse represent asset depreciation. The economic impact of non-accidental violence to athletes on sport organisations is also considerable (see figure 1). When athlete disaffection resulting from harassment or abuse leads to drop-out/attrition, this represents not just a loss of potential medals but also an opportunity cost for sport organisations, the talent pool of which consequently gets depleted. Further, the reputational damage caused adverse publicity of cases of harassment or abuse sometimes leads to the termination of sponsorship contracts. It also undermines the confidence and trust that athletes, their entourages, families and fans place in sport administrators.” 

 

The CMTBC has impeded another RMTs duty to report abuse when a Rugby Canada athlete almost died. A health professional was alleged to have over prescribed pharmaceuticals. This caused significant repercussions for the athlete. The RMT was suspended and fined for protecting their patient and following the law.  

The RCMP and CMTBC have stated that male healthcare professionals are not credible and refuse to process their complaints. The regulatory bodies have removed licenses of therapists who file complaints or speak out publicly about these issues.

I understand that talking about these topics can give the impression that I’m advocating against women. This could not be further from the truth. I’m advocating against known and condoned abuse. The authorities in power currently, refuse to acknowledge female perpetrated abuse. 

My license was removed because I defended vulnerable athletes and personnel. Mandatory complaints were with the authorities. No one cared about men being abused. 


A highly contentious inquiry occurred within Rugby Canada over alleged workplace violence during a time where multiple advantageous, external factors converged. A coach was falsely accused of misconduct, so that a broken workplace could be changed.  

"We followed the procedures outlined in Rugby Canada's policy, which was put in place in 2013. We feel that this process failed to protect us.."

"We know firsthand how hard it is to speak out and how hard it is to ask for change."  – 55% of the Women’s Team


Former Head, Coach John Tait

“I was not surprised that the investigation, which I had requested to be initiated, concluded that the complaints were all unfounded and did not breach any of [Rugby Canada] policies," he said. "Regardless, I no longer desire to continue as the national team head coach or in the role of high-performance director & have therefore decided to resign.”

BC Hockey League - SafeSport Policy

 

RMTs engaging in workplace violence, have been allowed to sexualize the treatment environment of minors in BC. Governed by the same organizational policies of SafeSport Canada. If RMTs are not ‘members’ of the team, complaints of workplace violence can not be filed with SafeSport Canada. Health professionals are expected to file complaints through their own regulatory bodies.

The CMTBC has stated that acts of workplace violence are not below the minimum standard of a female RMT. This MUST stop.


BCHL Safe Sport Officer,

“the BCHL Safe Sport program is intended to safeguard only players in the BCHL. It does not extend to the employees of the League’s member teams (unless the complaint relates to employee interactions with players or with the League).

While the League will get involved where a team’s employee is interacting inappropriately with officials, players, opposing coaches and trainers, the League does not have jurisdiction to unilaterally investigate a team’s internal employment-related complaints (where the inappropriate behaviour is within the team’s own staff or operations).”

The Disciplinary Hearing Complaint

 The 20-year-old female Dental Health Professional, of 3 months, involved in this case made a public allegation that I had yelled, verbally abused, and screamed aggressively at her so violently that it caused her to fear for her safety. Also alleging that my gender caused her to fear physical assault. Stating that I should have my license removed. This was the basis of her complaint to the Google review of my business and the complaint to the CMTBC. After I denied her entry into my clinic when she refused to wear a mask in mid 2020.

 

CMTBC deposition of dental professional, alleging violence:

“No excuse for a practitioner to yell, mistreat and use force to intimidate and scare your patients”

 

 

What force was used to intimidate?

According to her deposition, My gender.

“It was just him and myself in a hallway, I’m a young woman.. he’s a large gentlemen over 6 feet…it was extremely intimidating and scary.”

 

CMTBC deposition of Dental Professional admitting to vexatious complaint:

“It was not a long conversation. It was stern but not screaming… the actual volume of the conversation was not loud.”

 

This deposition statement by the female Dental professional was supported and expanded upon by myself and the additional witness present. All parties present that day agreed that there was no yelling,  screaming, or aggressive behaviour.

 

It was ONLY the CMTBC that believed there was abuse that took place. Calling all parties present liars and challenging all party’s integrity.

The Google Review (condensed)

 

“(Name Redacted)

Jun 3 • 4:32 PM

DO NOT BOOK VERBALLY ABUSIVE

Most unprofessional practitioner I have ever met. I received a reminder email 2 days prior to my appt stating these exact words "Face masks are mandatory for patients and therapists at this time"

 

I'm a dental professional myself…”

“The RMT Jeremy then showed up, red in the face and wide eyed angry and proceeded to yell at me about not having a mask and how I completely wasted his time, talking down to me like I am a complete idiot for not reading the email properly. Not only was he completely inappropriate, but it was just him and myself in a hallway, I'm a young woman.. he's a large gentlemen over 6 feet.. it was extremely intimidating and scary.”

 

“As a health care professional this practitioner should know ALLOT better than to scream at a patient aggressively, his college guidelines did not teach him to verbally abuse his patients.

What if I had a severe mental disorder and you just yelled and screamed at me alone in a hallway and then slammed your office door shut without even making sure I was okay after verbally abusing me? You as a practitioner should know allot better, your a disgrace to the healthcare field... from one practitioner to another, YOU SHOULD BE VERY EMBARRASSED. Your license should be revoked.”

———————————————————————

Witness deposition (within 10ft proximity to interaction)

“(He) heard Jakobsze and the client (name redacted) having a conversation but he did not hear any specifics… It seemed like a normal conversation. It was not unusual in any way; the volume was neither inordinately loud or soft. If it was out of the ordinary, (He) would have remembered more… He believed it may have lasted 20-30 seconds… Jakobsze’s demeanor was one of disappointment.”


The online booking page for Jakobsze clearly outlines the mask requirements for treatment.

“Every patient is required to bring a face mask/bandana/covering with them to treatment. One will NOT be provided to you”

———————————————————————

The CMTBC Opposes Human Rights

 

The CMTBC gave everyone the right to remove a health care professional’s license for following the province’s and the Human Rights Tribunal’s masking regulations and recommendations.

 

The CMTBC expressly stated to the public that all Health Professionals must act in the patient's best interests and MUST comply with a patient’s wishes, during a mandatory masking period. Regardless of provincial regulations in place. The CMTBC’s power supersedes all levels of government. 

Which Ethics Bylaws did she quote?

 

“I read the Code of Ethics for an RMT in BC, these three specifically stand out to my situation: “RMT’s must act in the best interests of the patient; RMT’s MUST recognize and disclose any conflicts of interest; RMT’s MUST treat the patient with respect and uphold the PATIENT’s dignity.”

 

I encourage all members of the public who have lost their jobs, or that have been negatively affected by masking requirements to contact the Health Ministry or the Premier’s office for clarification as to why you are being discriminated against. The CMTBC has set precedence on this matter.

 

Human Rights Commissioner Govender's statement, A human rights approach,

”No one should have to be exposed to the virus—or excluded from public spaces-because others refuse to follow public health guidance merely as a matter of personal choice,"

“Human rights principles must be at the core of our response to the pandemic: the surest way to guard against inequality and injustice during the pandemic is to ensure that all of our actions are evidence-based and follow current public health advice."

“B.C.'s Provincial Health Officer has stated that non-medical masks help prevent the spread of COVID-19 by limiting the spread of droplets from the wearer's mouth and nose. “

"Health and safety guidelines are put in place to keep people safe while allowing them to live their lives. If a person who should be protected by B.C.'s Human Rights Code experiences harassment or other discrimination as a result of those guidelines, it means our response to COVID-19 is missing the mark."

 

Bonnie Henry’s Directive

“Health professionals who provide emergent, urgent, and/or essential care must assess and screen patients and clients for symptoms of COVID-19. Unless direct physical contact with patients and clients is required, physical distancing of two meters should be maintained at all times. When direct physical contact is required for the care of patients and clients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19, health professionals must use infection control practices including as appropriate personal protective equipment.”

 

Bonnie Henry gave RMTs power over Essential Treatments

“Health professionals are in the best position to determine what is essential in their specific health practice.”

 

What Did Bonnie state is Essential or Emergent Patient Care?

“Allowable exceptions can be made for:

  1. time-sensitive circumstances, and
  2. emergent,
  3. urgent,
  4. and/or essential care to avert or avoid negative patient or client outcomes,
  5. or to avert or avoid a situation that would have a direct impact on the safety of a patient or client.”


RMTs Illegally Shut Down

The CMTBC did not have the legal authority to shut down the profession for 2 months in 2020 and acted contrary to the Provincial Health Officer’s orders. Costing BC RMTs up to $174 million in lost wages. 

“all BC RMTs must immediately cease practice as of today, March 21, 2020. Any upcoming appointments must be cancelled, and no massage therapy treatment can be delivered until further notice.”

 The CMTBC refused to relinquish control over RMTs and over stepped licensing boundaries when deciding medical care for patients. The CMTBC stating that treatment given while using masks (PPE) was a risk of harm to the public. 

“RMTs who believe they are in circumstances justifying an allowable exception due to a potential negative outcome to a patient serious enough to justify the risk of harm, may contact CMTBC at info@cmtbc.ca for further guidance.”

Many patients and RMTs have reported that there is a large group of professionals (RMTs and regulatory staffers), that opposed Provincial Health orders in their offices. 

———————————————————————

Off-Duty Masking Rules

The CMTBC has determined in previous cases that the behaviour of the dental professional in this case is dangerous, and indicative of workplace violence.

The CMTBC has stated that all healthcare professionals are NEVER OFF DUTY and MUST be held accountable to professional standards in their PERSONAL time.

Specifically, putting patients and personnel at risk of contracting COVID-19, while not at work, is professional misconduct and classified as workplace violence.

CMTBC Disciplinary Decision During The Pandemic,

“The Inquiry Committee considered (male RMT Name Redacted)’s admitted conduct to be serious…and that his attendance at the hospital after being told he could no longer visit the patient at the hospital had potentially put hospital personnel and patients at risk given the possibility of transmission of COVID-19”.


The dental professional in this case was notified multiple times of her mandatory requirement to mask when entering my clinic, prior to her scheduled appointment. She entered the clinic in opposition to all clearly posted signage and demanded that she be treated. 

 

———————————————————————

 

The CMTBC Defends Workplace Violence 

 

“(Name redacted)’s complaint to the college does not form the basis of this Disciplinary Hearing. It is the Respondent’s reaction to (name redacted)’s Google Review, that is, his subsequent complaints to the CDHBC, (name redacted)’s employer, the RCMP, the HPRB, and his correspondence with the college staff and its outside counsel, that form the basis of the allegations in the citation and the Disciplinary Hearing.”

“It is totally irrelevant to the Panel’s determination of whether the respondent committed professional misconduct or alternatively unprofessional conduct, and violated sections 27,29, and 32 of the Code of Ethics as alleged in the Citation, if (name redacted) had an ulterior motive or whose version of the events of what occurred at the respondent’s clinic on the day of the mask incident is correct.”

“(Name redacted)’s complaint to the college, or the college’s investigation of that complaint, are irrelevant to the allegations contained in paragraph 1 and 2 in the citation.”

“The college argues that it is critical to public confidence that the governing body of a self-regulated profession be able to effectively exercise regulatory control over its members. This means that members MUST cooperate..”

 

 

The CMTBC and the EMALB permanently removed my licenses because I filed mandatory, legally obligated complaints to the appropriate authorities about a dangerous Health Professional. This was defined as a refusal to Cooperate with the regulator’s directive of complying with any demand a patient expresses. 

Filing a complaint to the health minister that identified workplace violence was a Refusal to Cooperate.

Creating a public petition on change.org was a Refusal to Cooperate.

Let that sink in.

 

———————————————————————

ICBC

The insurer demanded disclosure of all information pertaining to this case. The complainant was in no way connected to billable, ICBC funded treatment. When ICBC was refused access to information that was ineligible for disclosure, they revoked my vendor account. ICBC removed access to treatment for emergent and non-emergent patients. 40%+/- of my treatments are ICBC related. Over 600 treatments/year vanished.

———————————————————————

RCMP

The female Staff Sgt in charge of this case refused to investigate Public Mischief, false public statements, or hate crimes in this matter. Maintaining that “every female MUST be heard.” Which is a prejudicial removal of Canadian rights. The male officer who initially took the case wanted to investigate and move forward with possible charges, but stated that he was prevented from doing so by his superior. The RCMP stood by vexatious allegations and purposeful abuse of a healthcare professional based purely on gender. Their actions directly aided in the unjustified removal of a health care professional. The RCMP allowed hundreds of patients to experience real and measurable pain and suffering.

 


———————————————————————


The CMTBC Brought Forward an Illegal Action

 

Defamation and Google Reviews

The Supreme Court decided on a very similar case that the behaviour exhibited by the anti-masker and the CMTBC is grounds for defamation litigation.

BC Supreme Court Justice Gordon Funt, Sept 6th 2022

“In my view, a reasonable, right-thinking person would not view the posting as silly, vague, vacuous or just part of the uncouthness and boorishness frequently seen on the internet,”

“The posting refers specifically to Dr.Chin. The author of the posting also refers to ‘horrible customer service’ and ‘treated our child with 0 care.’ In my view, a reasonable, right-thinking person who had a young hold and who was looking for a pediatric dentist for his or her child may view the posting negatively in deciding whether or not to select the plaintiffs for his or her child’s dental care.”



Duty to Report

It is the law in BC that all Health Care Professionals (also EMALB registrants) MUST report any dangerous registrant to authorities. If a registrant doesn’t, that is an offence.

”A registrant must report in writing to the registrar of an other person's college if the registrant, on reasonable and probable grounds, believes that the continued practice of a designated health profession by the other person might constitute a danger to the public.” 

 

Dangerous pertains to,

“a person who is a registrant…is believed to be…(b) suffering from a physical or mental ailment, an emotional disturbance or an addiction to alcohol or drugs that impairs his or her ability to practice the designated health profession.”

 

The EMALB directly contradicted their governing legislation. 

 

“Schedule 3, Code of Ethics,

EMERGENCY MEDICAL ASSISTANTS MUST

(f) report to the appropriate authorities any incompetent, illegal or unethical conduct by colleagues or other health care personnel;”

 

EMALB email signatures,

“The Duty to Report policy applies to all EMAs that hold a valid license in British Columbia.The policy describes the responsibility of all EMAs to report to the EMA Licensing Board the conduct of any colleagues that puts the well-being and safety of a patient at risk and/or exhibits conduct that is incompetent, illegal, or unethical.”

 

 

Immunity

“No action for damages lies or may be brought against a person for making a report in good faith…”

 

The CMTBC does NOT have the legal authority to commence a disciplinary “ACTION” against me for filing a complaint against another registrant.

 

The CMTBC does NOT have the legal authority to commence a disciplinary “ACTION” against me for filing a complaint about the college’s staff.

 

Director of Inquiry and Discipline quote,

“CMTBC does not have the legal jurisdiction or legal authority to accept complaints about its own actions. CMTBC cannot accept or process a complaint about its own actions from you.”

 

The complaints I filed were in relation to mental ailment/emotional disturbances impairing professional’s ability to perform their duties and endangering those around them.

———————————————————————

 

A Long List of Failures in Regulation

 

Mental Health Complaints

There is absolutely no control over how mental health complaints are handled by regulatory colleges and mental health information disclosures are not presently protected via privacy law.  

When a mental health complaint is filed to a Health Regulatory body, the merits of that complaint are decided upon by non-medical personnel. None have ANY mental health designations or training. It is up to how they ‘feel’ about a situation when passing judgement.

When interacting with mental health illnesses like Boarderline Personality Disorder and Narcissism in this case, it is demanded that you obtain guidance from Mental Health professionals that are trained in these very complicated disorders. Lawyers are NOT qualified or licensed to make mental health or medical decisions.

I obtained multiple mental health professionals' guidance and their opinions on the Dental professional and the CMTBC staff.

Both the CDHBC and the CMTBC have decided on cases and subject matter that require a mental health designation. Their decisions are invalid and must be overturned.

 

But why was my license really removed?

In an email, unrelated to the Dental professional’s complaint, I filed my intent to file a complaint to the Health Minister, OIPC,etc.

This email referenced a professional complaint against a female RMTBC and CMTBC member that sexually assaulted and extorted me. The investigator handling this case was accused of unprofessional conduct. The CMTBC allowed this investigator to investigate the complaint against him. The investigator did not record where and how my genitals were touched by the female RMT. I was victim shamed and told I was not ‘credible’.

Prior to the investigation beginning, the CMTBC made it clear that,

“CMTBC does not have the legal jurisdiction or legal authority to accept complaints about its own actions. CMTBC cannot accept or process a complaint about its own actions from you.”

This CMTBC refused to record details of sexual assault in relation to the conduct of their personnel and dismissed my complaint because they can’t accept or process complaints about themselves.

 

The Email

”It is absolutely not ok to continue like this hurting me and my family professionally and publicly. This is the last straw (name redacted). It is absolutely clear that you have a vendetta against me for unjustified or un-clarified reasons.

You need to stop harassing me and my family to suit your own sexist motives. It was bad enough that my family and I had to sell our HOME so that (name redacted) didn't know where we lived after her sexually harassing me. Given her extremely possessive nature. YOU protected her.

You publicly declared I was at fault without proof.

You allow collaboration, coercion, and slander to be openly and admittedly carried out against me between other RMT's and my patients.

Now you spread slanderous garbage to my neighbours by either intentionally disregarding the seriousness of protecting confidentiality (because it's me) or because you are too lazy and negligent to require a signature on this report.

Either way, it shows absolute disregard for me and my family. In no way will I let you continue to harm us.

You are unfit to carry out your duties. I will see to it that you are removed from your position. "



 

Why are Lawyers and Regulators harming the Canadian Public?

 

The Law Society was disbanded this year because they were found to have,

“regulatory bodies were acting more like professional associations, advocating for members, and placing the public interest a distant second, governments have taken steps seeking to ensure that regulators understood their purpose — that they act in the public interest,”

The Law Society of BC refuses to acknowledge that mental health illness is present in their profession.

“The law also directly regulates the conduct, competence and discipline of lawyers, and a lawyer can be compelled to receive medical treatment or counselling or face up to two years in jail, according to the lawsuit.”

 

The lawyers running our BC regulators oppose being held to professional standards, have fought the new laws in court, and have removed my licence because I threaten their positions of power within the Health Professions. The lawyers of BC refuse to be governed by the same rules they have abused the health professionals with.

The Issue

I am asking members of the public, my former patients, friends, colleagues, those who have entrusted their care with me and those who know me, to sign this petition and show that I am of good character and deserve to have my license reinstated immediately.

 

  1. This petition asks that the Health Minister produce whistleblower protections that are International Olympic Committee (IOC) and Human Rights compliant (in Massage Therapy), to safeguard athletes and therapists who are experiencing harassment and abuse in sport and general practice.
  2. By signing This petition, you are demanding that the BC Government address the illegal acts and abuse of public trust at the hands of the CMTBC, the RMTBC, the HPRB, etc, that perpetuates the highest abuse rates of any profession in Canada.
  3. This petition asks that all staff, legal council, contractors, un-named/publicized contributors, etc of the CMTBC, RMTBC, and HPRB, prior to the amalgamation of colleges, be banned from holding any position associated with Health Care regulation or within the Provincial Government going forward. 
  4. The names of these people must be publicly posted. Any staff, legal council, contractors, etc of these organizations currently working in the newly amalgamated Health Colleges must be removed from their positions immediately.
  5. Remove the illegal Orders applied to Jeremy Jakobsze, recognize the immunity afforded to him under the Act for reporting dangerous healthcare registrants, and re-instate his RMT license immediately.

Intro

The information provided in this petition is extremely abbreviated and expanded disclosure is prevented by privacy law. Massage Therapy in its present condition is not safe for the public. The public has been purposefully and dangerously misled about who the abusers in Massage Therapy are. Disciplinary Actions and evidence have been falsified for many years.

 

The Health Minister, the CMTBC, the RMTBC, and the EMALB are TERRIFIED that I (and others) will make public disclosures exposing illegal sexual abuse, sexualizing minors, grooming, racism, dangerous mental health illnesses affecting the performance of government and regulator personnel, the sale of patient information to criminal organizations, etc. 

 

My previous lawyer confirmed that there was indeed a “vendetta” against me by the CMTBC and that they were looking for any opportunity to remove my license. This was confirmed during a regular golf outing between my lawyer and the CMTBC personnel.

  

My previous lawyer then worked with the CMTBC for 2 months, without my involvement or consent, to create a guilty verdict prior to the Disciplinary Hearing.

 

The Government, the RCMP, and the media have refused to address violations by this regulator. The public has been harmed and their inaction has perpetuated workplace violence.

 

BC is LAWLESS. Health professionals are lied to when entering training for their respective field. They are taught that they have legal rights and that laws must be followed as they are written in the Acts. Where in reality, healthcare laws are not in force as they are written. There has been no effort by the regulators or the Government to fully inform registrants. It is a bait and switch operation.

 

“An uninformed majority will always lose the battle of information against a well informed minority. When you have hidden information, you can completely manipulate a large group of people."

 

As the Health Minister has stated, the credibility of the health colleges is non-existent. Their board members were found to be acting in opposition to the public’s best interests. These board members, who also serve on the investigative and disciplinary committees, were found to have altered the outcomes of their hearings based on what the Regulator wanted. NOT based on fact or evidence given. Which means the last 10+ years of inquiry and disciplinary hearings are in fact tainted by personal and political motivations, gender prejudice and human rights violations. Health care professionals are abused regularly by these ‘kangaroo courts’. There findings and rulings are invalidated by corruption yet the Provincial government does nothing to protect the most abused profession in Canada.

The public cannot trust ANY healthcare registrant or lawyer working in a position of regulatory authority due to the laws currently being enforced.

The Supreme Court of Canada has decided that the Charter of Rights is irrelevant in relation to Professional colleges actions and conduct. This is stated as being in the public’s best interests.

 

Noa Mendelsoh Aviv, Executive Director and General Counsel of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association

“In court we argued professional regulatory bodies should not be in the business of policing speech that is not clearly connected to professional practice.

Freedom of expression is a right that no individual gives up just because they join a regulated profession.”

Removal of License Not Authorized by Health Professions Act

“The Registration Committee was not satisfied that it had sufficient evidence to assess the good character test on the basis of your reinstatement application, given…the manner in which you have spoken about… and commented about the college in other forums.”

The CMTBC goes on to explain that complaints filed to the Health Minister, OIPC, etc were the reason for removing my license and preventing my re-instatement. The CMTBC has illegally blocked me from even provisionally serving the Order they’ve set out while awaiting the Supreme Court appeal decision.

This isn’t the first, or the last time, that the CMTBC has taken someone’s license for speaking out against them.

Personal history

I was targeted by multiple female members of the RMTBC and CMTBC. I was sexually assaulted, demeaned, humiliated, and extorted when they attempted to gain access to high profile sports athletes, Olympians, film industry personnel, their organizations and my positions in those organizations.

When I spoke out against the workplace violence I suffered, my reputation and my life was destroyed by the CMTBC and RMTBC. I was blacklisted from attaining licensing or employment in multiple other fields I am trained in.

I was licensed as a First Responder through the Emergency Medical Assistants Licensing Board of BC as a requirement for working in international sport and World level events. I was refused licensing by the regulator because of ‘whistleblowing’ about workplace violence. The board showed support for the CMTBC in that registrants cannot speak out about the violence they suffer from regulators.

Sexual Abuse in Massage Therapy

 

Massage Therapy is a female dominated profession in n BC. It is comprised of 80% +/- female registrants. The CMTBC has shaped public prejudice that male Massage Therapists are sexual abusers via the publicized Disciplinary Actions. What the public isn’t made aware of is the large number of female Massage Therapists that are caught sexualizing their treatments. There is little to no punishment for Female Massage Therapists in BC. Females rarely face a $1000 fine without license suspension for having known sexual interactions with their patients.

When male Massage Therapists file lawful, mandatory complaints about unwanted sexual behaviour from female RMTs, the CMTBC has punished disclosure. Punishing the male RMT for ‘sexualizing the treatment environment’ when documenting abuse.


———————————————————————

 

Abuse stats

The Federal Government has defined the CMTBC and RMTBC’s  behaviour as “Workplace Violence”. Comprised of Physical violence, psychological violence, sexual harassment, and financial violence.

 

53% of Health Care workers DO NOT report workplace violence because of reprisals such as losing their jobs. The creators of this culture of ‘abuse acceptance’ are the regulators and employers.

  

Health Care workers experience 4x the ‘reported’ abuse of any other profession in Canada.

 

In a truthful representation of these facts, Health Care workers experience 8x the abuse of any other profession in Canada if it was safe for Health Care workers to report all workplace violence.

 

We are told workplace violence is mandatory by the regulators in BC and by our Health Minister. Going on to state that it is the responsibility of the individual health professional to fight for human rights in court and that it is not the Health Minister and his office’s mandated obligation.

Mr.Jakobsze’s Practice

I am now a retired Registered Massage Therapist (RMT). While serving the public, I did so with distinction, respect, and humility. The vast majority of my work being done under confidential circumstances. Very soon after graduation from the RMT program, my professional skill and aptitude brought me into working along side professional/olympic sport and the film industry. I openly opposed recognition related to my application of health care. Which in turn opened up many more doors of opportunity.

In 2013 I started working for Rugby Canada as a treating therapist for the National Men’s programs.  I was given the honour of directing Massage Therapy and the hiring/supervising of RMTs for the National Men’s 15’s and 7’s programs. This included world events such as the Pacific Nations Cup Tournament, America’s Rugby Championship Tournament, 2015 Men’s World Cup in England, World Rugby Sevens Series at BC Place (1st and 2nd year), and intermittent treatments needed between/during training camps, etc.

I was also tasked with hiring and providing treatment for many of the World Rugby tournament’s guest countries. Maintaining the utmost standards for teams like Japan, Fiji, Tonga, and Samoa, support staff, referees, etc.

My job was to be a protective barrier against any financial, sexual, physical and psychological abuse towards the athletes or film industry personnel under my care, by massage therapists that are hired under a temporary contract. 

Concurrently, due to my skill, experience with world level sporting events and reputation, I’ve worked adjacent to many A list movies and TV shows. Involving some of the most famous people presently in the industry. As well as treating the backbone of Hollywood, The Stunt and stage employees.

It is a very strict environment when considering International Olympic Committee guidelines, World Rugby guidelines, and personnel valued in millions of dollars. I have operated under extremely difficult situations and have done so with the utmost professionalism.

While working in the community, my practice was ‘specialized’ (in easily relatable terms) in treating people that had fallen through the cracks of the medical system. The majority of my patients are people that have been written off by the medical system. Many have been abused by health professionals. A lot of disclosures have been made to me over the years from these patients. I can’t submit complaints on their behalf.

My family has fought for women’s rights for the last 50+ years. My grandmother was one of the first female commanding officers in Canada. She was raped because of her success. My mother was also raped in the same organization. Their calls for help were buried.

My mother was a Licensed Practical Nurse and permanently disabled from workplace violence(assault) and co-worker negligence. She was thrown away by a profession that doesn’t care about its registrants and forced into a life of poverty. My family has experienced abuse in both female and male dominated professions. Neither can be tolerated.

 

https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/cadets

After working closely with doctors and surgeons, I have aligned my standard of care with theirs. Synchronizing my standards with that of some of the top doctors in their respective fields and maintaining that level of care with every patient treated. Regardless of social or economic status.

I succeeded where other professionals failed.

I handled 1600+ emergent/non-emergent appointments per year and worked tirelessly to serve our communities. Often missing holidays, family events, funerals, weddings, etc.

 I have always conducted myself with the utmost of merit, respect, and honesty. I have Stepped on NOONE to achieve success in my life. I am a team builder and a positive force in my community and profession. Known as a trusted ally to many.

Rugby Canada - SafeSport and IOC Policy

Rugby Canada was made aware of the financial, physical, sexual, and psychological abuses (workplace violence) affecting their organization. Female Healthcare registrants were abusing their personnel for the purpose of gaining public notoriety, access to high profile personnel, and employment, dating back to 2014.

Females are currently empowered by the anti-male application of healthcare laws in BC. If a male Massage Therapist in charge of maintaining player/staff welfare, prevents a female therapist from sexually, physically, financially, or psychologically abusing Rugby Canada members by terminating or refusing to hire her, that female therapist, can then easily remove that male therapist from the team and their profession.

 A complaint(s) filed with the CMTBC does not have to be truthful. The Supreme Court has decided that a female doesn’t have to hear, see, smell, or feel, etc, anything happening for a complaint to activate that therapist’s removal from the profession under the ‘extraordinary action’ protocols. The female is then given immunity for making a confidential, vexatious complaint(s). While the abused male Healthcare registrant is publicly shamed and permanently harmed.

This leaves the team environment, and patients open to abuse from an interested party. With zero repercussions for the abuser.

Confidential, vexatious complaints made to Rugby Canada can also be used to remove therapists or personnel without investigation, and prior to any media coverage. Contractors can be terminated immediately without cause. Avoiding any possible negative PR exposure.

Rugby Canada was made aware that female members of the RMTBC and CMTBC posed significant risk of sexual, financial, psychological, and physical harm to their athletes and personnel. Rugby Canada allowed workplace violence to enter their environment.

 Each time I was told that it was my problem to figure out and not to involve Rugby Canada in any of it. Rugby Canada hired me as a contractor, not an employee or ‘member of the team’. I was forced into operating outside of the SafeSport policy and was withheld whistleblower protections. I am unable to report any workplace violence occurring in or around the team environment, or in relation to my position when hiring RMTs. If there is no way to document abuse, it hasn’t happened. Health professionals are expected to file workplace complaints through their own regulatory bodies. Not Rugby Canada or Safesport. Which, as we now know, directly causes the removal of your health care license. Perpetuating a culture of abuse.

I tried to expose workplace violence 7 years prior to the women’s national team filing their complaint. Absolutely nothing was done about it. Being that my complaints were heard only a year after Rugby Canada initiated their new abuse policy in 2013.  I reached out to Rugby Canada recently to identify threats to their athletes, but was ghosted by the executive. Nothing has changed.

The International Olympic Committee has specifically stated that therapists MUST be aware of potential corruption in the authorities we are mandated to report to. Whether it be Rugby Canada, SafeSport, the CMTBC, the RMTBC, the Health Minister, the RCMP, etc. Athlete welfare is paramount. There has been documented cases of athlete suicide when calls for help are not heeded. Therapists must use their best judgement when reporting abuse and be cautious of the political motivations present.  

IOC on Abuse and Impact on Sport,

“From an organisational perspective, the impacts of harassment and abuse represent asset depreciation. The economic impact of non-accidental violence to athletes on sport organisations is also considerable (see figure 1). When athlete disaffection resulting from harassment or abuse leads to drop-out/attrition, this represents not just a loss of potential medals but also an opportunity cost for sport organisations, the talent pool of which consequently gets depleted. Further, the reputational damage caused adverse publicity of cases of harassment or abuse sometimes leads to the termination of sponsorship contracts. It also undermines the confidence and trust that athletes, their entourages, families and fans place in sport administrators.” 

 

The CMTBC has impeded another RMTs duty to report abuse when a Rugby Canada athlete almost died. A health professional was alleged to have over prescribed pharmaceuticals. This caused significant repercussions for the athlete. The RMT was suspended and fined for protecting their patient and following the law.  

The RCMP and CMTBC have stated that male healthcare professionals are not credible and refuse to process their complaints. The regulatory bodies have removed licenses of therapists who file complaints or speak out publicly about these issues.

I understand that talking about these topics can give the impression that I’m advocating against women. This could not be further from the truth. I’m advocating against known and condoned abuse. The authorities in power currently, refuse to acknowledge female perpetrated abuse. 

My license was removed because I defended vulnerable athletes and personnel. Mandatory complaints were with the authorities. No one cared about men being abused. 


A highly contentious inquiry occurred within Rugby Canada over alleged workplace violence during a time where multiple advantageous, external factors converged. A coach was falsely accused of misconduct, so that a broken workplace could be changed.  

"We followed the procedures outlined in Rugby Canada's policy, which was put in place in 2013. We feel that this process failed to protect us.."

"We know firsthand how hard it is to speak out and how hard it is to ask for change."  – 55% of the Women’s Team


Former Head, Coach John Tait

“I was not surprised that the investigation, which I had requested to be initiated, concluded that the complaints were all unfounded and did not breach any of [Rugby Canada] policies," he said. "Regardless, I no longer desire to continue as the national team head coach or in the role of high-performance director & have therefore decided to resign.”

BC Hockey League - SafeSport Policy

 

RMTs engaging in workplace violence, have been allowed to sexualize the treatment environment of minors in BC. Governed by the same organizational policies of SafeSport Canada. If RMTs are not ‘members’ of the team, complaints of workplace violence can not be filed with SafeSport Canada. Health professionals are expected to file complaints through their own regulatory bodies.

The CMTBC has stated that acts of workplace violence are not below the minimum standard of a female RMT. This MUST stop.


BCHL Safe Sport Officer,

“the BCHL Safe Sport program is intended to safeguard only players in the BCHL. It does not extend to the employees of the League’s member teams (unless the complaint relates to employee interactions with players or with the League).

While the League will get involved where a team’s employee is interacting inappropriately with officials, players, opposing coaches and trainers, the League does not have jurisdiction to unilaterally investigate a team’s internal employment-related complaints (where the inappropriate behaviour is within the team’s own staff or operations).”

The Disciplinary Hearing Complaint

 The 20-year-old female Dental Health Professional, of 3 months, involved in this case made a public allegation that I had yelled, verbally abused, and screamed aggressively at her so violently that it caused her to fear for her safety. Also alleging that my gender caused her to fear physical assault. Stating that I should have my license removed. This was the basis of her complaint to the Google review of my business and the complaint to the CMTBC. After I denied her entry into my clinic when she refused to wear a mask in mid 2020.

 

CMTBC deposition of dental professional, alleging violence:

“No excuse for a practitioner to yell, mistreat and use force to intimidate and scare your patients”

 

 

What force was used to intimidate?

According to her deposition, My gender.

“It was just him and myself in a hallway, I’m a young woman.. he’s a large gentlemen over 6 feet…it was extremely intimidating and scary.”

 

CMTBC deposition of Dental Professional admitting to vexatious complaint:

“It was not a long conversation. It was stern but not screaming… the actual volume of the conversation was not loud.”

 

This deposition statement by the female Dental professional was supported and expanded upon by myself and the additional witness present. All parties present that day agreed that there was no yelling,  screaming, or aggressive behaviour.

 

It was ONLY the CMTBC that believed there was abuse that took place. Calling all parties present liars and challenging all party’s integrity.

The Google Review (condensed)

 

“(Name Redacted)

Jun 3 • 4:32 PM

DO NOT BOOK VERBALLY ABUSIVE

Most unprofessional practitioner I have ever met. I received a reminder email 2 days prior to my appt stating these exact words "Face masks are mandatory for patients and therapists at this time"

 

I'm a dental professional myself…”

“The RMT Jeremy then showed up, red in the face and wide eyed angry and proceeded to yell at me about not having a mask and how I completely wasted his time, talking down to me like I am a complete idiot for not reading the email properly. Not only was he completely inappropriate, but it was just him and myself in a hallway, I'm a young woman.. he's a large gentlemen over 6 feet.. it was extremely intimidating and scary.”

 

“As a health care professional this practitioner should know ALLOT better than to scream at a patient aggressively, his college guidelines did not teach him to verbally abuse his patients.

What if I had a severe mental disorder and you just yelled and screamed at me alone in a hallway and then slammed your office door shut without even making sure I was okay after verbally abusing me? You as a practitioner should know allot better, your a disgrace to the healthcare field... from one practitioner to another, YOU SHOULD BE VERY EMBARRASSED. Your license should be revoked.”

———————————————————————

Witness deposition (within 10ft proximity to interaction)

“(He) heard Jakobsze and the client (name redacted) having a conversation but he did not hear any specifics… It seemed like a normal conversation. It was not unusual in any way; the volume was neither inordinately loud or soft. If it was out of the ordinary, (He) would have remembered more… He believed it may have lasted 20-30 seconds… Jakobsze’s demeanor was one of disappointment.”


The online booking page for Jakobsze clearly outlines the mask requirements for treatment.

“Every patient is required to bring a face mask/bandana/covering with them to treatment. One will NOT be provided to you”

———————————————————————

The CMTBC Opposes Human Rights

 

The CMTBC gave everyone the right to remove a health care professional’s license for following the province’s and the Human Rights Tribunal’s masking regulations and recommendations.

 

The CMTBC expressly stated to the public that all Health Professionals must act in the patient's best interests and MUST comply with a patient’s wishes, during a mandatory masking period. Regardless of provincial regulations in place. The CMTBC’s power supersedes all levels of government. 

Which Ethics Bylaws did she quote?

 

“I read the Code of Ethics for an RMT in BC, these three specifically stand out to my situation: “RMT’s must act in the best interests of the patient; RMT’s MUST recognize and disclose any conflicts of interest; RMT’s MUST treat the patient with respect and uphold the PATIENT’s dignity.”

 

I encourage all members of the public who have lost their jobs, or that have been negatively affected by masking requirements to contact the Health Ministry or the Premier’s office for clarification as to why you are being discriminated against. The CMTBC has set precedence on this matter.

 

Human Rights Commissioner Govender's statement, A human rights approach,

”No one should have to be exposed to the virus—or excluded from public spaces-because others refuse to follow public health guidance merely as a matter of personal choice,"

“Human rights principles must be at the core of our response to the pandemic: the surest way to guard against inequality and injustice during the pandemic is to ensure that all of our actions are evidence-based and follow current public health advice."

“B.C.'s Provincial Health Officer has stated that non-medical masks help prevent the spread of COVID-19 by limiting the spread of droplets from the wearer's mouth and nose. “

"Health and safety guidelines are put in place to keep people safe while allowing them to live their lives. If a person who should be protected by B.C.'s Human Rights Code experiences harassment or other discrimination as a result of those guidelines, it means our response to COVID-19 is missing the mark."

 

Bonnie Henry’s Directive

“Health professionals who provide emergent, urgent, and/or essential care must assess and screen patients and clients for symptoms of COVID-19. Unless direct physical contact with patients and clients is required, physical distancing of two meters should be maintained at all times. When direct physical contact is required for the care of patients and clients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19, health professionals must use infection control practices including as appropriate personal protective equipment.”

 

Bonnie Henry gave RMTs power over Essential Treatments

“Health professionals are in the best position to determine what is essential in their specific health practice.”

 

What Did Bonnie state is Essential or Emergent Patient Care?

“Allowable exceptions can be made for:

  1. time-sensitive circumstances, and
  2. emergent,
  3. urgent,
  4. and/or essential care to avert or avoid negative patient or client outcomes,
  5. or to avert or avoid a situation that would have a direct impact on the safety of a patient or client.”


RMTs Illegally Shut Down

The CMTBC did not have the legal authority to shut down the profession for 2 months in 2020 and acted contrary to the Provincial Health Officer’s orders. Costing BC RMTs up to $174 million in lost wages. 

“all BC RMTs must immediately cease practice as of today, March 21, 2020. Any upcoming appointments must be cancelled, and no massage therapy treatment can be delivered until further notice.”

 The CMTBC refused to relinquish control over RMTs and over stepped licensing boundaries when deciding medical care for patients. The CMTBC stating that treatment given while using masks (PPE) was a risk of harm to the public. 

“RMTs who believe they are in circumstances justifying an allowable exception due to a potential negative outcome to a patient serious enough to justify the risk of harm, may contact CMTBC at info@cmtbc.ca for further guidance.”

Many patients and RMTs have reported that there is a large group of professionals (RMTs and regulatory staffers), that opposed Provincial Health orders in their offices. 

———————————————————————

Off-Duty Masking Rules

The CMTBC has determined in previous cases that the behaviour of the dental professional in this case is dangerous, and indicative of workplace violence.

The CMTBC has stated that all healthcare professionals are NEVER OFF DUTY and MUST be held accountable to professional standards in their PERSONAL time.

Specifically, putting patients and personnel at risk of contracting COVID-19, while not at work, is professional misconduct and classified as workplace violence.

CMTBC Disciplinary Decision During The Pandemic,

“The Inquiry Committee considered (male RMT Name Redacted)’s admitted conduct to be serious…and that his attendance at the hospital after being told he could no longer visit the patient at the hospital had potentially put hospital personnel and patients at risk given the possibility of transmission of COVID-19”.


The dental professional in this case was notified multiple times of her mandatory requirement to mask when entering my clinic, prior to her scheduled appointment. She entered the clinic in opposition to all clearly posted signage and demanded that she be treated. 

 

———————————————————————

 

The CMTBC Defends Workplace Violence 

 

“(Name redacted)’s complaint to the college does not form the basis of this Disciplinary Hearing. It is the Respondent’s reaction to (name redacted)’s Google Review, that is, his subsequent complaints to the CDHBC, (name redacted)’s employer, the RCMP, the HPRB, and his correspondence with the college staff and its outside counsel, that form the basis of the allegations in the citation and the Disciplinary Hearing.”

“It is totally irrelevant to the Panel’s determination of whether the respondent committed professional misconduct or alternatively unprofessional conduct, and violated sections 27,29, and 32 of the Code of Ethics as alleged in the Citation, if (name redacted) had an ulterior motive or whose version of the events of what occurred at the respondent’s clinic on the day of the mask incident is correct.”

“(Name redacted)’s complaint to the college, or the college’s investigation of that complaint, are irrelevant to the allegations contained in paragraph 1 and 2 in the citation.”

“The college argues that it is critical to public confidence that the governing body of a self-regulated profession be able to effectively exercise regulatory control over its members. This means that members MUST cooperate..”

 

 

The CMTBC and the EMALB permanently removed my licenses because I filed mandatory, legally obligated complaints to the appropriate authorities about a dangerous Health Professional. This was defined as a refusal to Cooperate with the regulator’s directive of complying with any demand a patient expresses. 

Filing a complaint to the health minister that identified workplace violence was a Refusal to Cooperate.

Creating a public petition on change.org was a Refusal to Cooperate.

Let that sink in.

 

———————————————————————

ICBC

The insurer demanded disclosure of all information pertaining to this case. The complainant was in no way connected to billable, ICBC funded treatment. When ICBC was refused access to information that was ineligible for disclosure, they revoked my vendor account. ICBC removed access to treatment for emergent and non-emergent patients. 40%+/- of my treatments are ICBC related. Over 600 treatments/year vanished.

———————————————————————

RCMP

The female Staff Sgt in charge of this case refused to investigate Public Mischief, false public statements, or hate crimes in this matter. Maintaining that “every female MUST be heard.” Which is a prejudicial removal of Canadian rights. The male officer who initially took the case wanted to investigate and move forward with possible charges, but stated that he was prevented from doing so by his superior. The RCMP stood by vexatious allegations and purposeful abuse of a healthcare professional based purely on gender. Their actions directly aided in the unjustified removal of a health care professional. The RCMP allowed hundreds of patients to experience real and measurable pain and suffering.

The CMTBC Brought Forward an Illegal Action

 

Defamation and Google Reviews

The Supreme Court decided on a very similar case that the behaviour exhibited by the anti-masker and the CMTBC is grounds for defamation litigation.

BC Supreme Court Justice Gordon Funt, Sept 6th 2022

“In my view, a reasonable, right-thinking person would not view the posting as silly, vague, vacuous or just part of the uncouthness and boorishness frequently seen on the internet,”

“The posting refers specifically to Dr.Chin. The author of the posting also refers to ‘horrible customer service’ and ‘treated our child with 0 care.’ In my view, a reasonable, right-thinking person who had a young hold and who was looking for a pediatric dentist for his or her child may view the posting negatively in deciding whether or not to select the plaintiffs for his or her child’s dental care.”



Duty to Report

It is the law in BC that all Health Care Professionals (also EMALB registrants) MUST report any dangerous registrant to authorities. If a registrant doesn’t, that is an offence.

”A registrant must report in writing to the registrar of an other person's college if the registrant, on reasonable and probable grounds, believes that the continued practice of a designated health profession by the other person might constitute a danger to the public.” 

 

Dangerous pertains to,

“a person who is a registrant…is believed to be…(b) suffering from a physical or mental ailment, an emotional disturbance or an addiction to alcohol or drugs that impairs his or her ability to practice the designated health profession.”

 

The EMALB directly contradicted their governing legislation. 

 

“Schedule 3, Code of Ethics,

EMERGENCY MEDICAL ASSISTANTS MUST

(f) report to the appropriate authorities any incompetent, illegal or unethical conduct by colleagues or other health care personnel;”

 

EMALB email signatures,

“The Duty to Report policy applies to all EMAs that hold a valid license in British Columbia.The policy describes the responsibility of all EMAs to report to the EMA Licensing Board the conduct of any colleagues that puts the well-being and safety of a patient at risk and/or exhibits conduct that is incompetent, illegal, or unethical.”

 

 

Immunity

“No action for damages lies or may be brought against a person for making a report in good faith…”

 

The CMTBC does NOT have the legal authority to commence a disciplinary “ACTION” against me for filing a complaint against another registrant.

 

The CMTBC does NOT have the legal authority to commence a disciplinary “ACTION” against me for filing a complaint about the college’s staff.

 

Director of Inquiry and Discipline quote,

“CMTBC does not have the legal jurisdiction or legal authority to accept complaints about its own actions. CMTBC cannot accept or process a complaint about its own actions from you.”

 

The complaints I filed were in relation to mental ailment/emotional disturbances impairing professional’s ability to perform their duties and endangering those around them.

———————————————————————

 

A Long List of Failures in Regulation

 

Mental Health Complaints

There is absolutely no control over how mental health complaints are handled by regulatory colleges and mental health information disclosures are not presently protected via privacy law.  

When a mental health complaint is filed to a Health Regulatory body, the merits of that complaint are decided upon by non-medical personnel. None have ANY mental health designations or training. It is up to how they ‘feel’ about a situation when passing judgement.

When interacting with mental health illnesses like Boarderline Personality Disorder and Narcissism in this case, it is demanded that you obtain guidance from Mental Health professionals that are trained in these very complicated disorders. Lawyers are NOT qualified or licensed to make mental health or medical decisions.

I obtained multiple mental health professionals' guidance and their opinions on the Dental professional and the CMTBC staff.

Both the CDHBC and the CMTBC have decided on cases and subject matter that require a mental health designation. Their decisions are invalid and must be overturned.

 

But why was my license really removed?

In an email, unrelated to the Dental professional’s complaint, I filed my intent to file a complaint to the Health Minister, OIPC,etc.

This email referenced a professional complaint against a female RMTBC and CMTBC member that sexually assaulted and extorted me. The investigator handling this case was accused of unprofessional conduct. The CMTBC allowed this investigator to investigate the complaint against him. The investigator did not record where and how my genitals were touched by the female RMT. I was victim shamed and told I was not ‘credible’.

Prior to the investigation beginning, the CMTBC made it clear that,

“CMTBC does not have the legal jurisdiction or legal authority to accept complaints about its own actions. CMTBC cannot accept or process a complaint about its own actions from you.”

This CMTBC refused to record details of sexual assault in relation to the conduct of their personnel and dismissed my complaint because they can’t accept or process complaints about themselves.

 

The Email

”It is absolutely not ok to continue like this hurting me and my family professionally and publicly. This is the last straw (name redacted). It is absolutely clear that you have a vendetta against me for unjustified or un-clarified reasons.

You need to stop harassing me and my family to suit your own sexist motives. It was bad enough that my family and I had to sell our HOME so that (name redacted) didn't know where we lived after her sexually harassing me. Given her extremely possessive nature. YOU protected her.

You publicly declared I was at fault without proof.

You allow collaboration, coercion, and slander to be openly and admittedly carried out against me between other RMT's and my patients.

Now you spread slanderous garbage to my neighbours by either intentionally disregarding the seriousness of protecting confidentiality (because it's me) or because you are too lazy and negligent to require a signature on this report.

Either way, it shows absolute disregard for me and my family. In no way will I let you continue to harm us.

You are unfit to carry out your duties. I will see to it that you are removed from your position. "



 

Why are Lawyers and Regulators harming the Canadian Public?

 

The Law Society was disbanded this year because they were found to have,

“regulatory bodies were acting more like professional associations, advocating for members, and placing the public interest a distant second, governments have taken steps seeking to ensure that regulators understood their purpose — that they act in the public interest,”

The Law Society of BC refuses to acknowledge that mental health illness is present in their profession.

“The law also directly regulates the conduct, competence and discipline of lawyers, and a lawyer can be compelled to receive medical treatment or counselling or face up to two years in jail, according to the lawsuit.”

 

The lawyers running our BC regulators oppose being held to professional standards, have fought the new laws in court, and have removed my licence because I threaten their positions of power within the Health Professions. The lawyers of BC refuse to be governed by the same rules they have abused the health professionals with.
