Medical Tribunal #2

2023 CanLII 16834 (ON HPARB) | Aurich v Haleem | CanLII

In coming to understand all of why it was this happened, the next tribunal process I entered will be explained. To start, I made a complaint that was initially viewed as "vexatious", to which I appealled and won.

Months later, a second conclusion was completed, which stated in part, that I was medically mismanaged and did in fact have polycythemia (this conclusion has been included with another post.) Moving along, the basic idea is simple; doctors KNEW I had this potential fatal blood condition and did not tell me. I was told it could be shingles, and people in Nobleton know this to be the case. It clearly wasn't.

So as it was, for 8 months I just sort of suffered, took the prescribed prednisone, until my mind was so badly affected it left reality. I can now think back to this process, but at the time I was rather desperate and in a lot of physical pain from an entire body rash the polycythemia brought on. Here is the final assessment of the re-review of the tribunal...

And, importantly, at the end I had begun to think some VERY odd things, and importantly, was telling everyone about it; "pizza-gate" theories and the like:

People may not have know just what exactly had happened, but they knew I had mentally come apart.

What is also rather interesting is that upon, being questioned by authorities, the people closest to the situation did not mention any of this; my odd behavior, crazy theories, extremely poor medical condition, or the medications I was on. 

When authorities visited me some months later to tell me they were no longer interested, they also explained that they had now come to realize I was in some sort of bipolar event when originally detained, basically rambling on for 3 hours about my bizarre ideas... it is clear to me now, that I very well must have seemed very guilty of something... but I was delusional... psychotic... saying things that likely did not make sense... but also, they did not seem to understand why they were not made aware of the medical details at the time. 

Same can be said of me. I have no idea. You would think mentioning that someone was going on and on about bizarre sex cult theories while covered in a complete body rash, AND, on 50 mgs of Prednisone might have been important!

I think this could have turned out rather differently, perhaps I would have not been charged, I don't know, but I do know that the forensics did get to the truth of what others actually knew.

Medical Tribunal #1

2022 CanLII 119909 (ON HPARB) | Aurich v Stefanovich | CanLII

I will now aim to explain the first medical tribunal, hopefully bringing out points which will help to also explain why what happened did. In this manner, it is my final objective to show my complete vindication. I believe, and have for some time now, that this will happen. I will make a number of posts to explain. This will be the first one. 

___

To start, some 10 years after I was erroneously placed on Androgel, and four years since coming off the prescription, my testosterone levels are completely normal. This alone proves there was no need for the prescription. 

I will now delve into the tribunal. 

First Concern:

• (the doctor) did not take the time to follow the Endocrinologist’s recommendations to determine if the Applicant indeed had hypogonadism before prescribing AndroGel again in 2013, given the Applicant had been off the medication for four years and had returned to normal testosterone levels.

This was indeed the case as an endocrine report from 2009 stated I did not need Androgel, as follows:

So what were the circumstances? Previous to me being placed on Androgel, I had fallen sick to mono in 2013, and was sick in bed at my parents home. I did not connect to the doctor in question about mono or anything else as my own family doctor had ALREADY confirmed I had mono. This doctor was my mother-in-law's and it was either herself or my ex-wife who made the contact. I DID NOT.

I was then told over the phone that the endocrine report of 2009 stated Androgel was needed. THIS WAS FALSE. I also did not visit this doctor to pick-up the prescription, instead the prescription was delivered to me at my parent's home. I began the prescription under false information. 

Second Concern:

• prescribed AndroGel at a high dose (17.5-5 mg per day), yet did not appropriately monitor testosterone levels via blood work to support higher than recommended doses of AndroGel (in 2013)

Some may think this prescription was given to me out of some concern for my health. This seems dubious at best. To start, the standard dose of Androgel is 5 mg/day, and so, why was 17.5 mg/day given? As far as anyone can tell me, there can have been no medical justification for such a high dose.

I should also add that the tribunal repeatably makes mention of depression; this is not valid as the reason I felt terrible was due to a sinus issue and vertigo. Here is what the criminal forensics' report disclosed:

The doctor was well aware of my issue with vertigo (aka Meniere's Syndrome) in 2009. It was not depression, and this fact was not included in the tribunal's findings. In any event, my testosterone levels were then raised to a level that exceeded the laboratories ability to test for the actual value, thus " >170". 

In a response dated August 19th 2021, the January 3rd reading was described as, "In January 2014, a laboratory report showed the free testosterone level greater than 170 (31-94 range). The Respondent (doctor) suspected that this could have been an error, as the accuracy of this number was highly questionable." So perhaps the lab instrumentation was broken? Regardless, on February of that same year, the level was measured at 166.5. It was then lower in March, but then... as the prescription was rather oddly managed,

Does this seem to reflect normal medical practice?

I never suffered from depression. And so, the issue of vertigo was corrected with surgery in 2010, and I was rather okay afterward. 

No blood test was done previous to me being placed on it in 2013. Any claim of this is false.  

So, why the Androgel in 2013? 

And again, in case it has been forgotten, my testosterone levels today, are fine. That is proof beyond all else, as people with low testosterone at the age of 38 do not suddenly recover at the age of 49.
