Got the urge to google and see if I could find anymore stories of workers comp screwing people over here in Canada and while I didnt find any, I guess most people just keep their mouths shut after being humiliated.

I did come across this gem though, had me raging for a bit. I know what happened to me, but its different to actually read it, if that makes sense. To see it printed clear as day.

There is serious concern about motivation for Case managers to close cases, and in the case of Complex Cases, this can translate to denying a legitimate claim rather than seeing justice through for the injured worker.

We have concerns that the WCB is making decisions to deny legitimate claims that for fear that acceptance will set a precedent for other injured workers, and end up costing the system. Keeping costs down should not be the determining factor.

Furthermore, legislation currently protects the WCB ­paid medical consultants, and therefore there is no policing of their participation in the system. They are also stakeholders – they receive money for their services, and may be loath to sever this relationship with the WCB. WCB interferes and intimidates and unduly prejudices doctors before worker gets to see the doctor. Many of these doctors simply do not want the hassle of fighting with the WCB, and the injured worker does not get the unbiased medical treatment that they deserve. Doctors with their years of experience and expert knowledge are not able to stand up to the constant pressuring tactics of WCB Case Managers, and some agree to commit fraud on the public, just to avoid the hassle and expense of going against the WCB. This would be different if the government protected the medical profession. The end result is that doctors are changing their reports mid­stream. Additionally, these doctors are degrading the whole medical profession when other doctors are relying on their expertise and honesty, breaking their Hippocratic Oath to first do no harm. The injured workers, meanwhile, are denied the justice they are entitled to.

Complex cases need to be referred to an external watchdog, to ensure justice for injured workers.

May the Appliance Recycling Centers of America, Nova Scotia WCB, Nova Scotia WCAT, The Workers Advisory Board and Dalhousie Legal Aid all bend down and kiss my ass.

Even if they would apologize for what happened to me, there is absolutely no $$$ amount is going to ever make up for what they did and the damage that was done to me, not just psychological either, im Appalachian, its the physical damage that really fucking upsets me. Degraded my quality of life real good. And now that I feel like I may be able to work again, I have no fucking support to do it. Fuck these people into oblivion!!!!

If there are any dumbasses out there who think that the government is going to help you if you get poisoned from the protected corporations leaky vaccines that you were mandated to get to keep your job.

Your as fucking delusional as me thinking I would get help or justice. FUCK.

Apparently when people start losing themselves, they return to their roots. I am a walking fucking cliche. But this is also why they proably desire to destroy our history and the family unity. Without that support, most people would never be able to rebound back.

Which is why I can take some comfort in my ancestor, in some words he wrote 400 years ago.

This is our first advantage, and the odds standing vpon these tearmes, of an evill state blessed, and a good condition accursed, every jdiot would soone determine which of the two, to chuse; Is not a good estate to be desired on any tearmes, and a bad, on none? I thinke every man would be glad of a blessing vpon any condi∣tion, & entertayne a curse, vpon none. And now judg (I pray you) betweene saints, and sinners, which of both are in better case, howsoever it stand with either of them, in the best the one may haue, and the worst that can befall the other; and according to this appa∣rant evidence, giue vpright sentence, whether the most vnhappy among the children of God, be not in more happy case, then the most happy among the chil∣dren of this world.

Thus are the soules of Gods saints bound fast vp [in the bundle of life] by the Lord himself, the Lord of life; who hath bound himself by his owne truth, and faithfullnes, yea, sworne by himself, and his holynes, to saue them wholy harmeles, at the worst that can come vnto them in this world. But for the soules of wicked persons, they are in wofull plight, in their bo∣dyes best estate, and lye soe scattered, neglected, and vnregarded, (as things of naught) that God in justice, let's them alone to be seized by Satans malice, to be a prey to that devouring lyon, who will soone make e∣verlasting havock of them in hell.

And this is the third difference, and the saints third advantage, beyond all vngodly men, wherein how easy is it to determine, who hath the better end, or which is the happier state? any man that hath but a mans soule, jndued with reason, will soone preferre sa∣fety to danger in themselues, but whosoever hath a Christians soule seasoned with religion, will preferre the former vpon any tearmes, even the very worst, and accept the latter vpon noe tearmes, no not the best.

This part hits me especially hard. This is a lesson that is still taught today.

And this is the fourth difference, betweene the righ∣teous and the jrreligious, and the fourth advantage we (who are Gods) haue of the other. The faithfull are free from feare, the profane are full of it; it hath scarce, (and ought not to haue at all) a being, in those that are the Lords, and belong to his loue, and in the rest nothing is more powerfull, not only being in them, but being the greatest predominant that beareth rule, and overbeareth, both themselues (and that when they are best at ease,) and all those things where∣in they doe most boast, and blesse themselues, as their manner is to doe. And which of these two to take, is most easily, and quickly determined, by any man who is not feared out of his witts.

I wonder, if I actually sat down and tried, could I write something that would affect my ancestors 400 years down the road, like how I feel when I read this.

Why is our world so fucking broken, our leaders try so hard to convince us that its us that are broken, when that isnt the truth.

In a good society, things like truth and justice arent brushed under the rug for profits.

Never forget what side your on.
