Opinions and Thoughts of LightHouse Dann Verner - Just as he is!

  https://open.spotify.com/episode/4whkUiPxgsfyp4ZGQ6i3NF?si=32110ba3bc034aa2 I do not understand how people can go through life angry or depressed. There was a time I did. Seems like a lifetime ago. Never again depression will hold onto me, nor drag my heart into misery. Depression pulled me into the void with her cold steely tentacles. The darkness squeezed tightly around my heart, my soul and my testicles. Decades of accumulated tragedy and loss my body’s dark cloak. The monochrome opposite of Joseph’s Technicolor Dreamcoat. Once trapped within the Darkness of despair your life loses it’s direction. There lay no lifes destination. Your portrait of the future a dismal swirling abyss. There are no safe ports in the storms of depression. Your heart saddened by emptiness and self-loathing. Your emotions a turmoil of doubt. Depression is much like cancer. They often walk hand in hand. Feeding off each other’s Darkness and solitary life. The longer it is left untreated the more it sours.

As you can read in my blog, "The Deplorable Way I Was Treated By Toronto’s The University Health Network " , which I published on November 22, 2023, I was in my opinion treated very unprofessional and cruel by all the staff in the ER of Toronto Western. I am not one who will just run away with my tail between my legs and let matters of concern left undealt with. This is the response I received from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario . (I left out the original email I sent as you can view that on my blog ) Dear D. Verner, Thank you for your email to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario. As it appears your concerns are related to the care you received by the nursing staff, you would need to contact the College of Nurses of Ontario.

 The pandemic taught us many lessons and spotlighted numerous serious flaws in the machine we have labeled, " Society ." With great embarrassment it opened our eyes to the incompetence and neglect our Elders living in many of Canada's " Long Term Care " Residences, are being subjected to. I was appalled by what I learned via the various media outlets and daily newscasts as the pandemic wreaked havoc on the very lives of our beloved Elders. I was ashamed and brokenhearted when we reduced the inhumanity of what was taking place by making it a daily " statistic" on the news. The number of deaths in the residences was becoming a lead story on each and every news outlet and each new report grew more horrific. We should be ashamed of what we allowed to happen in these homes. I am sure many people are. People who do care and genuinely want to change the way we are " warehousing " our Elders. People like the devoted staf

 To: patientrelations@uhn.ca Whom It May Concern: My name is Daniel Arthur Verner,  The reason I am contacting you today is for what I feel and truly believe was a deplorable and prejudiced way I have been treated during the past few visits I have had at the Toronto General and specifically the Toronto Western Hospital . It is a somewhat lengthy situation to explain and I pray that you may bear with me. I will do my best to summarize it as best I can. First off, I have always been extremely impressed with the excellent care I received in the past at the Western Hospital. I have been a long term patient there going back to March 1999 when they gave me a new walk on life by the excellent results of my spinal surgery to restore my shattered C1 & C2 - C5 & C6 vertebrae That said, here lay the reasons that lead up today's complaint. As I am aware that you have access to readily review my case files I will only include the quoted information I feel best assists in the understandi
