Hello again
I thought they got the message that they have caused me harm by leaving the bar down. When there is a wired remote that hangs down. I would rather run into this, then walk into a solid steel bar. But this is what I have to deal with all the time.
Pure negligence.
I will be checking what the rules are.
So now, a human interest story. ME
I speak to people and, like tonight the bus driver told me that it is amazing that I go to see mom everyday in White Rock. And the transit supervisor was their and he told the supervisor that translink should give me a 3 zone bus pass every month just to help me out.
I said that would be nice and I wish everyone else who make these kind of statements, would actually do what they suggest. Or the PGT who tells me they are concerned and would like to see me in White Rock. Closer to my mother. Where I can do more good for my mother, So I have more time to do the necessary things that need to be done for my mother.
To visit, more often. To take her hot, not re warmed, meals. To be able to bring my mother over for dinner or lunch. To have mom come over for the night. For special occasions. For dinner with company, friends, relatives, children, grandchildren.
If I had even a dollar for everyone who has said I need help and should get this or get that. I would be in White Rock, having a fully furnished place. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms. A CAR/SUV, insurance for the car.
Dam, if the PGT would actually keep their word, this all would happen. Or if the people I write telling my story too. Who say they are their to help others, who really need help. Would actually help I would not be so stressed out. One example is Ellen DeGeneres. Always, on her web site, is stating. Tell us your story, maybe we can help. Or Oprah Winfrey
The federal and provincial governments.
I have travelled the lower mainland visiting mom everyday of the week. Thousands upon thousands of km's to see mom. With out a care in the world. Except for how am I going to get mom a good meal, her drinks, snacks, or fruits etc... etc....
I go through bags, upon bags, caring all of my mothers cosmetic, food and drinks etc.. And now I have no bags left. I am using grocery bags. This is causing me to have very bad back pains. On top of problems that I have from walking into the bar all the time.
This is causing me to have to stop and adjust the bags all the time. In the past, the PGT understood and helped me out. Now they are saying that the bags are for my use and they are not going to help me.
I have no money now to buy mom her drinks and well you know.. Even though there is a comfort fund that I can access. Right I asked for some. I bought mom most of her cosmetic products and need more. I spend my money to get her drinks, snacks, make her meals. I turned in receipts, but anything that was not strictly for mom. The receipts were given back and not turned in. As in, if I was out and picking up some things for myself and I saw something I wanted to get mom. Paid for everything together. This receipt is no good and not acceptable.
So what happens then, is I can't show, what I spend the funds are and I won't get anymore funds But I bought and can show what I purchased for mom. Not my problem you won't accept the receipt. It is all listed. And on top of this I have to arrange for these funds three days, at least, a head of time.
Come on now. Mom needs things this weekend, I had shoes on hold for her. Mom needs new clothing, which are on sale and the items I want for mom, most likely, not be their anymore.
Nice isnt it, this is what I deal with all the time, from the PGT. They are trying to make it as difficult as possible.
They did this before. Mom was in Abbostford, along ways away,. And I was expected to go their to get the funds. No way their to get the funds to get a bus pass to go to see mom.
The PGT is playing games. They get upset at me, and then take it out on mom. Oh yea, if I kiss their butt, none of this would happen. I think nothing would get done if I were not on them all the time. Mom would not have drinks,snacks, clothing etc....
If I did not do what I do. They have never had to deal with anyone like me before. They dont know what to do. They just keep trying different things. And there I am, still in their face. Excuse the language. Straight to the point.
What needs to be done is a human interest story on myself and for me to tell the media exactly what I do and how often.
This is where you all come in. Write to your papers, my papers, TV stations etc... and tell them my story. This is the only way things will get done and I will get out to White Rock.
GOD bless and good night.

Nothing changes
Hello again
So I arrive late, as I now have to carry everything using grocery bags and it is difficult for me and constantly having to stop and rest. Can't through anything over my shoulder. It is killing my back and neck.
Now I arrive and it is after 5:30 and mom is not feed and her food is cold. Luckily I brought mom some dinner. We have dinner and take mom back to her room, To discover the bar is at the usual height. The height of my head. It was up yesterday.
Now I am forced to get funds for mom from the comfort fund at the hospital. This is a hassle. As if I find something for mom I have to contact the social worker and then wait a day to get the funds. In White Rock. I have to travel to White Rock to get the funds. In the mean time, if I see something I can't get it right away or not at all
As it is January, mom was without all of her beauty products. And I was able to get some, by going from store to store and getting some of their sample products and putting it in containers.
But mom was out of everything. And I did not even finds out about having access to these funds until last week. I get the $250. and it is not enough to cover all the costs. I had some funds I covered the rest. But when I went to purchase the rest of the products I bought other items from the store as well and, well the social worker would not turn in the receipts as it is not strictly for mom and he thinks it will be to difficult for the accountant to understand. I circled all that was for mom. How difficult can it be.
The crap starts again. They tried to pull this garbage before, unsuccessfully.
So basically, I have to waste even more time, separating everything.
I don't go to one store and buy everything and I am not going to waste my time and the other people's time, while they wait for me to separate everything.
This is the same old nonsense that they keep trying to pull on me. So if I need money for things for mom. Oh yea, wait, I still have not bought every one of mom's beauty products and mom's clothing keeps disappearing, and mom needs new clothes and needs a new pair of shoes. Which, because mom has wider feet, it is difficult to finds a good pair of shoes for her. I have looked height and low through-out the Lowermainland and finally found a place to get mom attractive shoes that will fit her only to find out I can't get the funds until, maybe Monday. And not even the full amount. I am out $100.00 because of this. Which I could of used to get mom things.
As in the drinks I cannot buy for her now. Nor the snacks or anything else. Their is not any funds left at the hospital cashier. What!
He also was trying to dictate how and what I can spend the money on. Telling me the staff does not think mom needs anything.
Wait, this is the same staff that leaves this bar down, so I walk into it and injure myself. After asking to please keep it raised up
Or the same staff that tells the security I made threats against them.
Or the same staff that will not allow proper medical treatment for the patients. As they did at Riverview. I don't know about here. Or do I and I am afraid they might hurt my mother or ban me from seeing her or both.
Isn't it a pile of . You get it. When one has to worried that the hospital will ban them from seeing their own mother. Based upon lies of the staff. Where they have tried to strip me of my rights over my mother. Not going to happen
I have to go.
GOD bless and good night.

Pettiness
Hello again
This blog tonight is written about a few and only a few of the individuals. As with an company, organization or institution. Their is always a few who follow what they think is true. Not what actually is the truth.
Even as I write this, I am in fear that reprequssions may be taken against me. As I was already threatened with being banned from visisting my mother. If I do not comply with their rules. Even though, the acqusations against me, are libalous and slanderous statements.
This is what all of us have to fear, we have no rights and when we speak up, we are met with this. Threats, lies.
It is a sad day when the people who are their to protect your mom, but actually are the one's who are abusing her. The PGT being a major contributor of these abuses.
The PGT, knows what I do for my mother and how far I travel everyday to see her. Whether it is raining or snowing or whatever the weather here in Vancouver might bring us. Without hesitation.
And how Stephen Flynn agreed that it would be the best thing for my mother if she stayed in Coquitlam, but do to the Psychiatrist at Riverview, changing my mother's medication right before her assessment for Eagle Ridge Manor, my mother failed the assessment. And was forced to move to White Rock.
Stephen seemed as upset as I was and still am. And was willing to help me to re located to White Rock to be closer to my mother. Instead of having to travel the 110 km's their and back everyday. He was even willing to assit me with all I needed to set up a home, so as I could have mom over for the day or an occasional night.
Stating this would be great for your mother. Since I am the one who actually does things for my mother.
And since mom is now in White Rock, he, was willing to assist me with the purchase of a car and insurance for this, as well. This was all to take place in the fall. And he even went as far as to say, in January I would also receive a large one time payment for the year. With the condition I ask not for anything else.
I jumped on this. I was ecstatic. I was going to get to White Rock, a few blocks from the hospital. A two bedroom suite. To have mom over. Furnish it. With decent stuff. New but not expensive. As I can find everything for a two bedroom suite new at great prices. I know enough people to get deals through. A car again to take mom out and to all the appointments that are necessary to get mom healthy, happy and strong.
Well, I have never felt so elated. I was taken a back. by this kindness, Stephen was showing me.
Ahh. It was fleeting. It turned out to be nothing more than fluff and lies and deceit.
A disappointed at best. More of the same from the PGT. Nothing changes. They will tell you one thing, fill you with hope for a decent future for your mother. A chance for my mother to get out and enjoy her life for a change. Instead of being forcibly locked up and chemically, physically and emotionally retrained as she was at Riverview As in my opinion, as I see it to be. MY OPINION as I am directed to write, for legal purposes.
A leopard does not change their spots.
Mother was sexually assaulted in Riverview and this same staff, covered it up and denied it happened. This same staff denying proper medical treatment to their patients.
Knowing full well, if the patient was to be taken to a real hospital. The doctors would discover that the patient had overdosed on all the medication this same staff gave to the patients.
These are not nurses, they however think they are. They could not work in a hospital. They are not qualified to do so.
Up until a few years ago. To become a Psychiatrist nurse, one only needed a two year program and then put in charge of the lives of our loved one's. Giving them deadly medication when they saw fit. To silence or incapacitate the individual, as with my mother. Stating that the doctor told us we could. Not to be used as a method of silencing all.
THIS IS CALLED MODERN EUGENICS A term and meaning I have coined.
Which means the doctor authorized the use of the anti psychotic medication, but left as chart orders. Meaning the nurses could do as they see fit. When ever they wanted to give it out. But not to be administered to use it as a method of keeping the patients sedated all the time, so they were no trouble and this staff did not have to do anything.
Seen it, been their, done that. Not going to let it happen anymore.
This is the same staff that left my mother on the ground, with a broken hip and not calling 911 and letting her lay or sit their in pain until the next day. Almost 14 hours latter, mom was able to get to the hospital.
This is the staff that would not let me call 911 when mom needed a real hospital and proper medical staff to look after her. Not these imposter's who think they are fully qualified to take care of sick patients.
All of them would be fired within a day, if they were to work in a real hospital.
Now, check this out. I have to carry my own towels to and from Coquitlam, as I am not allowed to use the hospital's towels to wash my mother's hands, face, feet and arms. I have to bring a blanket for mom to use. As mom is denied the use of a blanket by the staff. On top of everything else I carry I now have to add, towels to the list of things I bring their for mom.
TOWELS, can you believe this.
I will say this, I have been instructed not to speak with any member of the staff at Oceanside with the following exceptions. The Doctor, the psychiatrist, the social worker or the director
NEVER SPEAK TO A FOOL, OR YOU WILL APPEAR TO BE ONE AS WELL.
There is still the issue of being seriously injured by the negligence at the hands of a few of the staff .I will keep saying this over and over again.
A Leopard will never change it's spots. Ever.Period, no matter what. You understand me.
Now back to Stephen Fylnn. I carry many things to and from visiting mom everyday. And I have to carry them in something. I have gone through many, many bags. Now I asked Stephen for funds to get two new bags, as the one's I have are shot. Falling apart piece by piece as I move throughout the day.
Soon they will be nothing more than a piece of string, with a few attached metal pieces. Well I asked and I was turned down. I am already using one of those grocery bags. Which is seriously hurting my back. And I will, within the next few days, have to use anther grocery bag and as it is. I carry at least 50 lbs worth of things their and back each day.
I tried to explain this and was met with and abusive attitude. I said no. I don't care if you hurt yourself or not. Not my problem and I personally don't give a dam about your anything you think or say. You do what I tell you to do and so will your mother. I am in charge of her and will do whatever I wish to do. And will allow Oceanside to do the same. We don't listen to you, you listen to us. We will tell you how it is going to be for you and your mother. Not you.
These were his exact words to me on the phone. Very professional, don't you think. NOT!
Your mother will do what we want, will be given any type of medication we see fit to give her and their is not a thing you can do about it. You just shut up and do what we say. Or else we will ban you from seeing your mother.
Even after I have been seriously injured at the hands of the staff, I have suffered a serious concussion because few and only a few of the staff refused to put the bar up after I asked them to do so. As I raise it so I don't walk into it. I am tall you see. And they are not, so they leave it down so as they can reach it. But there is this cord, you see, that hangs down, and it almost hangs to the floor.They clip it on the solid steel bar instead of leaving it down.
So I raise the bar when I get their and they lower it when they put mom to bed, and leave it down. Oh yea, tonight was the first time the bar was up all the way.
It just happens to coincide with the fact that I mentioned I have receive a concussion as a result of walking into it, repeatedly. After asking if they can raise when done putting mom to bed. As a result of their negligence I have a concussion now and a permanent indentation of the bar on my head. I am suffering from severe headaches, blackouts. and other things as a result of this trauma I have endured
Well it is 2:00 am and I must try to eat something and get to bed, I have to be back at my doctors first thing in the morning.
GOD bless and good night

They are at it again, with their god complex
Hello again
So I am still having blackouts, but not the hour long one's I have had. They are just a mire 20-30 minutes.
But at the same time I have been mistaken for a blind person over hald a dozen times now, in the last few weeks.
I can't eat, not sleeping well. The other morning I woke up with blood on my pillow and realized my ear was bleeding during the night. I have this incredible headache and it won't go away.
It is as if the staff at Ocean side are diliberatly leaving the bar down. Well I keep asking them to raise it up and it never happens.
Now on Sunday, this one nurse, or care aid, who I know abuses the patients, Have seen it with my very own eyes many times, while she was working at Valley View and twice at Oceanside. Was spowting ligalous and slanderous statements about me.
You know I would write about it, but I wrote the director that very night and I am just going to put that email on this site next, below.

You know I would write about it, but I wrote the director that very night and I am just going to put that email on this site next, below.
This would be Kris Schmuland, son of Mary Schmuland.
Tonight there has been an issue that has been precipitated by the staff themselves.
On my blog, I do not write what I see and hear. I try not to write to many negative things about Oceanside. But I do write. As I mentioned in our meeting that this is the same staff as Valleyview, with the same attitude. The attitude that they are gods. And can do what ever they so wish.
This is the same staff that allowed mom to be sexually assaulted by another patient. Then deny it happened. This is the same staff that crippled mom. This is the same staff that refused to do anything to help mom out. As I mentioned that we will see.
A leopard does not change it’s spots.
So this evening. I arrived and took mom to the furthest reaches of the ward. To be away from all staff and patients. To avoid confrontation with the staff. I always clean up and make sure their is nothing for any other patient to get into.
I then take mom to her room and proceed to give mom her nightly spa treatment. This includes, Washing her face, feet, lower legs and arms.
All I ask from any of the staff is to get her changed and toileted. I ask that they take mom before I wash her lower legs and feet so I do not get mom’s clothing wet and then mom sitting in wet clothing for how ever long it takes for the staff to keep their word. And then I finished her spa treatment and let the staff put her to bed.
But my main problem is and always has been.
A person’s word is their bond. And if this cannot be kept, then everything they say after this is meaningless. I live by this rule and was raised by this rule. I apply it in every area of my life.
So the big issue is when I ask to take mom to the toilet and get her ready for bed. They respond by saying, in a few minutes. This turns out to be a half hour or more. On average I wait patiently. But in the mean time, mom has to go to the bathroom and mom get angry and then takes it out on me. A left hook, a scratch to the face, etc.... I take it so as the staff does not have mom hurting them.
This new issue started a few weeks ago now, when I was told mom would be next. They continued to pass by doing everything else, but assist mom. Mom was getting upset and I asked and asked and was met with hostility.
Now one of the issues are walking my mother. I was given a incoherent scribble of a letter demanding that I not walk mom. For her safety. Which means they they are worried about their own liability. Which they have stated on numerous occasions.
So I suggest I go to a lawyer and have a letter drawn up absolving the staff, Oceanside, Fraser Health and Peace arch of any and all liability.
No response.
Then after weeks of me putting mom to bed, tell me that I can’t even do this. As they are afraid of me hurting myself. Again, they are only concerned about their own liability.
I tell them to check with Worksafe BC. So I do, and they are not and would not be held responsible for any damages.
Now tonight. When they came to take mom to the washroom and get her ready for bed. I mention that this is a blanket that I brought and could it please not leave the room. This staff member proceeds to tell me that they are putting mom to bed right after they take her to the washroom. I say. I have just washed mom’s hair and I have not finished yet. I have her feet to do and I cannot wash. I was stopped and yelled at by this person. Telling me that this is what we are going to do and this is what my manager told us to do.
Then I tried pointing out that this is something we always....... Stopped and told to stop pointing my finger at her. I reply, I am not pointing my finger at you. As I looked down and was speaking with my hands, as I always do.
She proceeded to tell me to stop yelling at her and she is not going to listen to anything I say. What she says goes. I say I am not yelling at you. I cannot yell right now, as I blew my voice out last week singing to mom and have been barely able to speak.
Then all of a sudden their is an on slot of staff standing their and I am just standing in mom’s room. They are all yelling at me, telling me what is what and that I have no rights. A nurse comes over and tell me, I really don’t know what she said.
But this one, LeAnn or Leah. Tells me I have to leave. Oh right she tells me she is going to call security, and I responded by saying go ahead. Security comes I leave and I tell them if you or anyone tries to ban me from seeing mom, I will go to the police. I will be back tomorrow. They would not let me say goodbye to mom. I had to do it while mom was on the toilet. How humiliating to mom. And I tell them mom is not going to like this.
Which this care aid tells me mom is OK. Not a single staff member knows anything about mom and what she likes and dislikes. They spend no time with her. They did not even keep their word on walking her. I am not allow and they will, but never have. This is going to change. And change quickly.
Now a few days ago, one care aid finds a blanket in the washroom. Picks it up and tells me that it is wet. I tell her it has been in the bathroom in the same stop for two days. Nothing to do with me.
The very next day 5 days ago, now. They removed the towels and blankets from the open area, on the west side and proceed to tell me that it was done as someone was getting into it and it is for safety reasons. Meanwhile the carts are out in the open. So this is Leah that told me this.
I use towels as I need them to wash mom’s feet and arms and face. I always clean and dry the entire area and their is never a drop of water on the floor. In fact mom’s room is the cleanest room on the ward.
Her comes a good one. They tell me they do this so I don’t get hurt. Well because of this I now have to carry towels from home every day and they are denying mom a blanket. I have to bring this as well.
I am disabled, walk with a cane. On top of what I carry, I have more to carry and it is very awkward and I have not injured my back. I am in extreme pain and still have to travel to see mom. So I will be seeing my doctor and reporting this.
On top of the fact I have suffered a serious concussion, as a result of the negligence of the staff. I have walked into that bar many many times. After repeatedly asking them to raise it, when finished putting mom to bed, as I am tall and it is at my heads height that they leave it.
As soon as I get their I raise it and then they put mom to bed and leave it down. Again I asked repeatedly to please put it up after putting mom to bed and I will lower it afterwards. As I am not even allowed in my mother’s room when putting her to bed.
I am seriously injured.
I will be speaking to a lawyer this week. This is the result of the staff’s negligence and it is their fault I am injured, So when I speak with my lawyer I will be bringing up this new injury.
Mom requires me to be their. She expects my visits. And if you deprive mom of my visits, this is called abuse. I have not missed anytime with her in a very long time. Expect when it is unexpected or I have no way of getting their. I can count only 25 days in the last 6 years I have missed.
I did go to the police station immediately after leaving the hospital. But it is South Surrey and they were closed. I will, however go their if any action is taken against me.
I do not yell, I can’t yell, I can barely speak. And after visiting mom I cannot even speak at all.
This needs an urgent reply

So it sounds, again, you take the word of someone who I have seen, physically and verbally abuse patients, their at Oceanside. This is a women who I have caught trying to abuse my mother and have stopped it. Abruptly slamming my mother’s wheelchair backwards.
Now if she and others tell you I threatened them, If I told them I would go to the police after I leave their a threat, then I did threatened them. But if I go to the police, is that a threat. I do not, and have not threatened anyone their or anywhere else. I am an adult, not a child.
I will not stand by and be libelled and slandered by someone, who abuses patients and not do something about it.
Above was the email I sent to the director
So this is exactly what happened and I wrote this down as soon as I got home that night.
Now I am waiting for the director to contact me to arrange a meeting. By the conversation went on the phone, I dont know if I should have legal reprensentation with me, at our meeting. If any of the employees from Oceanside are present at the meeting. It might be a good idea I do so.
Anyways, I have not been able to eat much, sleep well, I have an incredible headache that wont go away and I have a nice mark on my forehead that is the exact shape of the bar.
GOD and good night
Kris
