Лев Гунин - ГУЛаг Палестины

4. It was an abuse to mention that "After overview if necessary applicant may have to be referred to the chest specialist." It is a prejudgment and prejudice. "...if necessary", "may" are just a form. It is a very clear message that he/she will not let me alone! Why to speak about next medical procedure before seeing the x-ray?

Montreal, QUEBEC H2X 2P4

Sir or Lady! Please, forward this letter to an appropriate Immigration department, which you mentioned on page 1 of your letter.

First of all, any suggestions that I could be infected by tuberculosis were ridiculous. I had some other suggestions, but later a medical doctor I spoke to - as well as my legal advisers - told me that the only answer of what happened is that Immigration might just make a false report on my x-ray. Besides, a x-ray could not determine whether or not any of such shadow means tuberculosis, or simply any kind of pneumonia, bronchitis, or a combination (see medical books). Any conclusions based on only one x-ray are ridiculous, partial, and prejudicial. In modern time - when there are so many flu infections accompanied by pneumonic consequences (side effects) such conclusions are a complete nonsense. It is obvious that your decision to attach me to the Infectious Disease Unit (IDU) before you have a 100 percent proof of any tuberculosis infection and initiate an appropriate legal procedure was a drastic misconduct. The only admissible way to handle the situation was (before sending me to the Infectious Disease Unit)

1) to request a second opinion in existing x-ray

2) to send me a letter for my physician for another x-ray.

On November 14 I did another x-ray. It revealed that there is no any suspicious shadow, no abnormalities - and (as my medical advisers told) could not be 2 weeks before, especially tuberculosis-like shadows. Was my x-ray photo (a negative) replaced by somebody else's or IMS (Immigration Medical Services) just falsified the reading of my x-rays, - I do not know. That all is a subject of a criminal investigation.

Because I am depressed, I did not notice that the Montreal Chest Institute (MCI) belongs to Royal Victoria Hospital, an institution I had several formal conflicts with. Somebody from the hospital's administration used to submit me an offensive number of requests for donation to the hospital even after I have sent a note that by then was on welfare. The hospital's administration also did an attempt to extort money from me for services, which were covered by Medicare. In that hospital I heard several times that people like me are "illegal in Canada and should not be given medical help "for the cost of Canadians". Then I was treated by negligence at the emergency room, then - it was a medical misconduct over my CSST claim. Dr. Evenson's M.D. (Royal Victoria) secretary played games with me, actually denying an appointment from May till November 2000. A number of legal and medical violations used to take place there. And in all such minor incidents immigration matters or even Immigration itself were involved. One of immigration specialists advised me not to turn to Royal Victoria because that hospital is "enormously influenced by Immigration".

The fact that a page with a request for a donation to the Royal Victoria Hospital was included into your letter was another outraged abuse.

Eventually it is possible that doctor Giannakis had sent me for x-ray not to "La Cite" - as my mom and my wife, - or another medical institution but to Montreal Chest Institute because he received an order (not a request but an order, which he could not disobey as an Immigration representative) from Immigration to do so.

By this letter I declare that I am considering your way of handling the situation dangerously offensive and depriving me of my constitutional rights because of the above mentioned as well as the next reasons:

FIRST, I will DISREGARD any anonymous letters like your present one until a letter from you would be signed, addressed from a real person with his/her clear name and telephone number.

SECOND, you have no legal rights to treat me as a contagious carrier until an undeniable medical proof is established.

THIRD, by sending me to the IDU you may expose me to contacts with real infected carriers.

FOURTH, you are not a police, Immigration, secret police or death squads to a) act secretly-anonymously refusing to sign your letter,

b) to write me anything like "by Immigration law, you are requested (...)". Since you are not immigration layers or Immigration officials, you are forbidden to judge in a case like mine what Immigration law requires. Such a statement in a case like mine must be submitted only directly from Immigration. If you are part of Immigration (officially) - then my rights were violated when I wasn't informed about that before doing the x-ray at your unit.

FIFTH, my legal advisors, and me, we are confident that you have no legal rights to deprive me of choosing between medical institutions for medical tests or evaluation. You can not bring me to do a test or an evaluation exclusively in your institution by a forceful order. This will violate my basic human rigDocument 5hts. Even KGB had no official rights to oblige anybody who was not an imprisoned suspect or convinced criminal to do a medical evaluation without some sort of choice.

SIXTH, I would ask Immigration to allow me do another x-ray before doing anything else.

SEVENTH, evaluating my case, some human rights activists think that somebody at Immigration is so furious, so angry about me and that such an outraged misconduct was demonstrated in my case that Immigration is eventually ready to do any damage to my health through blood, e-ray tests or sadistic bureaucratic humiliations.

EIGHTH, I think that the most realistic explanations of an eventual abnormality, which could be seen on the x-ray picture, were:

1) eventual shadow from the underwear, which I did not remove from on beneath of the hospital robe, and the robe itself, which I've putted on in a wrong way

2) a dust spot or another kind of essence on the hospital robe

3) traces of somehow inhaled gas different from air

4) reading of a normal x-ray (with no abnormalities) was deliberately falsified by IMS

NINTH, before doing the e-ray I received a strange call from Immigration, through which I was accused of refusing a "medical treatment".

TENTH, your medical ethics should not allow you to send me to the IDU before making your own medical conclusions (decision) based not on Immigration's rapport but of your own evaluation of my x-ray test result.

ELEVENTH, my legal advisors have told me that I have rights to ask for a possibility to discuss my x-ray result with any of your medical institution specialists dedicated to such evaluations before going further. It is you (on behalf of Immigration or not - it is does not matter) who are sending me to Infectious Disease Unit. Because you are sending me to such a unit, you can not deny me such a discussion. I would like to see the x-ray original, which was made in your institution on November 1 2000 - and also show Document

5it to my medical advisors.

TWELVETH, I prefer not to go through further tests or evaluations in immigration matters (for medical purposes - it's different) at your institution.

Yours truly,

Lev GUNIN

RESUME of my visit to Montreal Chest Institute on December 2 2000

OBJECT Of the Visit:

1) to receive an official result (medical resume-evaluation) of my x-ray test done on November 1 2000

2) find out where is the original film and try to obtain it for making a copy

REASONS:

November 23 2000. I have managed to find out who sent me the anonymous letter (described in Documents 5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6) from

Montreal Chest Institute (MCI). It was M-me Lucy Gefroy (Jefroi or Joyfroid?). According to the same sources: she's never seen that x-ray. I left her my message on 849-5211 (ex 2166). She called me at 2.15 p.m. anonymously ("private call" indication) - and asked me what I want. She confessed that she is M-me Lucy only when I told her that recognized her voice comparing it to her answering machine message. That only could tell about her insincerity and guilt. I spoke with her in French, but when I did not know some medical terminology in French, and used English, she pretended that does not speak English at all. However, when I switched to French again, she started to speak bad English, which I could not understand. It was difficult to get along with her, but finally I convinced her to speak French again - and asked her a couple of questions.

Here they are:

- Did you see the x-ray?

- Yes, I did.

- What kind of a shadow did you see, mild? bright? what its form? On the right or left side?

- I can not tell you.

- Where is this x-ray film now?

- I can not tell you.

- Is it at MCI?

- Immigration took it from us, and, I think, it was lost.

- What do you mean - lost?

- Vanished somewhere at Immigration.

- Can I obtain the result?

- Listen, your case here is closed. You don't have to come here. Not any more. We disabled our previous letter's order. Bye.

She disconnected.

RESULTS of the visit.

At MCI's medical archive employers did not find any records about my x-ray in the computer. They told me that a mistake might

occur - because if even I did the x-ray for Immigration, its data (result, date, etc.) since November 1 had to be entered into the

registry.

Before I could enter room number 28 a small blond man appeared and approached me as in espionage novels (how could he

react so quickly, who warned him during my descending from the second to the first floor?) "You will receive nothing here. And you will be prosecuted for refusing to see the doctor, - he shouted to me. "I was told that my x-ray has vanished, and came to check, and also to obtain the result". He became almost pale - so visually he was frightened, as if he lost a million of dollars. He disappeared behind the gray door and soon came out with an envelope (my name and photo on it) and signs of a deep relief. "Here it is, - he told.

- You must visit a doctor because you have tuberculosis". "Are you confident about TB you mentioned?" - "Yes, I am". - "I was told that my case here is cancelled - and I don't have to appear". - "Nobody could tell you that. You will be prosecuted for your refusal!"

"Your conclusions about the x-ray was a mistake, Sir, and the film reveals a technical defect or a shadow of underwear, which I did not remove. Take a look - and let me see". - "It is possible. But the law says that you must see a doctor anyway, if even this is our mistake". - "What law, what paragraph? Then - I have a constitutional right to choose another institution, not yours, to pay such a visit". Then he started screaming on me: "You don't want to pay, ah? You don't want to donate to our hospital? You came to Canada and want to enjoy our good life without giving anything back? If you don't pay by your fucken money - you'll pay by your fucken ass!" - I tried to say "This is not only because of money, this is because I can not trust you!" but he kept screaming on me - and I left him. Before I left the hospital I could find out that there is no official result in my case. No paper, no evaluation. Only a checkpoint on the envelope, in category "4". What if somebody just made a wrong hand movement - and checked a wrong place?
