On a separate topic, the help and aid that we have been waiting for two years, from ICBC is now even further away. The lawyer for ICBC has put conditions on that are beyond our control, they will never be able to be met. This makes quite a statement, that ICBC is not prepared to help with rehab or help Chris to move forward, even though he was a passenger in a car insured by this insurance monopoly.
I still believe that ICBC has been working behind the scenes with health ministry and possibly the other defendants lawyers. The amazing thing through all of this is the inability of ICBC and the ministry of health to actually sit down and talk about what is needed and how we can work around all of these things to keep Chris moving forward.
They just don't care.
Once I get the papers together I will post the quotes from this lawyer and you will see what we're dealing with.

What on God's green earth is the Health Ministry hoping to learn, from yet another letter from a NEW Doctor in B.C., who has never seen/treated Christopher ??? I suppose they might keep trying Doctors until they find one who tells them something they want to hear.!?
All the information and more, that they need to assess the situation is already to hand from Dr.Diggle in B.C. plus the Doctors and Staff in Ponoka. It sounds like the costs for his care in B.C., as/if/when they can get it all together, will exceed that being paid for his care & rehab, in Alberta, AND at a less equipped and less staffed, facility.
What a system.!!??? and, where do they find these people ? Obviously some of them are winners of the Annual Darwin awards we hear about, on the Internet.
Keep up the good work, Kevin; things are finally moving in the right direction in some regards; perhaps part of Falcon's $14 Billion Health Budget will end up having part of it earmarked for a "real" Brain Injury Centre, in B.C. some day.!
Kevin, I have not heard anything about a No Fault Part 7 from ICBC. What are they saying to you about this...if anything!
I know in our situation it took me a 3rd try with lawyers to find one that understood the complexities of TBI. I also never knew that there was such a thing as Brain Injury Lawyers...not generic injury lawyer. Ther is a lawyer in Vancouver by the name of Brian Webster. He does a lot of conferences on this very subject. He was available for me as a resource for information in our situation. By the time I found the 3rd lawyer I was not going to change again because it just does not look good, however having Brian as an information piece was extremely helpful...and he is a very approachable individual.
Take care and my thoughts are with you.
