GEORGE KENNEDY

The George Kennedy case as prosecuted by the College of Nurses of Ontario is summarized or at least introduced in [EXHIBIT C-51] Aug. 28, 2001 - Marilyn Munro to College of Nurses of Ontario.  As our focus throughout the presentation is on those listed as Defendants, we will limit our commentary with respect to Mr. George Kennedy.  We do, however, feel it prudent to update you should we come across additional information.

Quotes from [EXHIBIT C-75]

(q 01)  Doctors told her she only had 30 days to live.

 

(q 02)  Fourteen years later, Sylvia is still alive, although disabled, and her husband fights every day to get her the treatment she needs - the care he says she was promised by the province, her employer, her union and her benefits carrier.

But the Kennedys have learned the healthcare system is not designed for a person with a long-term illness which requires expensive care.  Bureaucratic and financial hurdles add to the suffering endured by patients and their families.

 

(q 03)  Sylvia's doctors - there have been almost 30 since she first became sick - have prescribed 24/7 nursing home care since 1994.

 

(q 04)  George Kennedy has a dispute with SMCCAC.  Their stormy relationship dates back to 1992, and for the past three years SMCCAC has not provided any care, or paid for anything for his wife.

SMCCAC is also not paying for ambulance service, food supplements and medication, or incontinence supplies for Sylvia, things they provided previously.

 

(q 05)  He (George Kennedy) has complained about the nurses SMCCAC has provided.

SMCCAC nurses have complaints about him, he (George Kennedy) says.  But those complaints were never formally investigated.

He has never received any complaint regarding what he calls false allegations about his drinking parties and porno movies.
