WorkSafeBC

They look after the employer only Not the people who do the work

Beware of Worksafebc's involvement in your healthcare. A hernia, "simple routine surgery," set up by WorkSafebc with their surgeon to speed up my wait time has destroyed my body and my potential of working again. Their involvement, their policies, their surgeon(Dr Dave Konkin) and their services have left me totally disabled. Their policies and process has wiped me out financially as well. Worksafebc and their well earned reputation has impeded me being able to access health services that I need. Yet they expect that I am going to let this continue. I have had to take the medical benefits away from them and start paying myself . Their involvement has led to litigation of the Surgeon Dr Dave Konkin of hernia repair.ca their Premier Surgeon as well as the Blue Pine Clinic nurse practitioner Melonie Starzyk. Now that this is so serious they have tried to find another surgeon to give an opinion to be turned down repeatedly, have gone against my wishes and have gotten me turned down from other essential services I need. Worksafebc, it's policies , employees, services are poison. After disabling me, financially ruining me , delaying services impeding my well being mentally and physically they expect to continue on ongoing relationship for the next 14 years. WORKSAFEBC CAN AND WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE. THEY HAVE A HISTORY OF IT AND THEY ARE GOOD AT IT. SO GOOD IN FACT THEY HAVE DEPARTMENTS TO DEAL WITH ALL THEIR AFTERMATH. THINK TWICE BEFORE REPORTING YOUR INJURY. **UPDATE** My claim officer Steve Hartman and his boss Maria Stancatti set up an in person meeting. They indicated that they had a medical review done by their medical advisor ,( Dr Dave Konkin) the doctor that disabled me and is now in litigation. They were satisfied that I was permanently disabled. I immediately stated I needed the paperwork saying that. Told them I wanted to have the same medical examine done privately. 5 weeks went by and still no paperwork. After accessing my claim file, phoning and requesting it directly from the worker and his supervisors. I finally recieved a call back where Steve Hartman denies any of this happened. The Prince George Office and in particular Maria Stancatti are very decietful and damaging to your health and well being purposely. I have recorded the last meeting and last call with them and am in the process of holding them accountable for the damage they continue to do.

Doest practice their own procedures or practices fairly and uses loop holes, dont go first day without lawyer, lets employers do what ever they want to emotionally and mentally traumatize inured workers to the point they cant be around work and have to quit so they can cut benefits and not do anything aboout the bullying and harrassment, not a fair system where employees have to sacrifice their physical and mental health so some company or government agency can save a few dollars sure makes me proud to be canadian. first thing to go once we establish a new generalized government that works for the citizens and not big corps will be insurance ones such as this.
