Merry ChristMas and/or

happy holidays!

It is already nearing the end of Novem-

ber. The busy me of the holiday season

is just around the corner. There is a chill

in the air and many of us have receivedthe rst snow urries of winter. It has

been wonderful to see more and more

of our youth and young adults showing

their respect for those who have fought,

for those who have died and for those

who connue to serve and protect the

freedom of our great naon, Canada -

again we say, thank-you!

We would like to express our appre-

ciaon for all contribuons from our

donors and funders. CPABC is proud to

be able to oer campership subsidies

and the Tanabe Bursary. These are op-

portunies for us to give back to you as

members and to those living with CP.

The contribuons from the Kinsmen

Foundaon have allowed recipients of

our Tanabe Bursary to move forward

with their educaonal goals. We wish

success to all Tanabe Bursary recipients

in their future endeavours.

We are also pleased to acknowledge

that the CPABC is now beneng in a

special way from the bursary program.

Bursary reCiPientsfor 2011!

Conscienous, posive, hard-working,

industrious and inspiring these are

some of the words that were used to

describe this years bursary applicants.

Phrases such as exceeds expectaons,

exemplary work habits, and excellent

aendance were found in each and ev-ery leer of recommendaon. These

applicants all stand out in a crowd aca-

demically and socially. Many of them

have put in countless volunteer hours

and none of them use their disability

as an excuse to turn out less than out-

standing work. These 8 young people

come from around the province - Prince

Rupert, Gibsons, Fort Nelson, Campbell

River, North Vancouver, Nanaimo,

Victoria and Williams Lake and rangein age from 18 - 21. Each were chosen

by our Bursary Commiee to receive a

$1000 award.

James Jordan is in the business Program

at Camosun College, in Victoria, with his

view on obtaining a law degree. I will

connue to take on all the challenges

life has to oer and nd a posive way

to do things the best way for me, in my

own way.

Sherdan White is working part me

to support his studies in Business

Administraon at Vancouver Island

University. I have always viewed my

cerebral palsy as less of a disability and

more of an opportunity to show others

that someone with cerebral palsy does

not have to be held back by it.

Kathleen Dorsey has the strength and

determinaon to do whatever shed

like with her future, said riding coach

Michelle Meacher. At the moment

wring is in the cards. Kate is aend-

ing Capilano University, part me, and

majoring in creave wring.

Ryan Monita makes teaching a genu-

ine pleasure, states M. Homan of

Columneetza Secondary School. Ryan

is currently in his third month of the

Aircra Maintenance Engineering Pro-

gram at Northern Light College in Daw-

son Creek. It is a 15 month program

followed by 2 years of apprence

work.

Rebecca Dallas Benne was acceptedin the faculty of sciences at UBC. She

currently plans to pursue a doctorate in

Human Genecs. I am very apprecia-

ve of the CPABC of having this money

available for dierently abled youth

like myself, so that we can further our

educaon.

Conan Winkelmeyer is in his h year

of university study working towards

a major in educaon and psychology.

His end objecve is to create a sum-mer camp for kids at risk and kids with

disabilies. I have set out to be an

example to others and help improve

peoples understanding of what indi-

viduals with disabilies face.

Samantha Riesco would like to become

a service dog trainer for people with

disabilies. She is currently in the Arts

and Sciences program at Capilano

University. Samantha never uses her

disability as an excuse for late or sub-

standard submission, states CapilanoUniversitys Dr. Sandra Enns, Sociology

Instructor.

Josh OBrien is interested in soware

development. He is working on his

Computer Technology Degree at

Northwest Community College and

will then connue his studies at BCIT.

He plans to become a game designer

and is well on his way having formed

a small independent developing team

This should all be very simple. The

health professional is in a power posi-

on vis a vis the paent. As such the

relaonship between paent and health

professional is one based on trust. The

paent must trust that health profes-

sionals will act in the best interests of

the paent - to put the paents interest

above their own.

The power posion of the health

professional is grounded on vastly

superior knowledge. When things go

badly, anything less than full disclosure

of both the mechanism of injury and

the various reasons why the injury may

have occurred, would ignore the ethical

basis underlying the trust relaonship.

This is simple and obvious to the pa-ent. It needs to be codied for health

professionals. Various ethical codes,

such as the Canadian Medical Associa-

ons Code of Ethics states that should

harm occur, it must be disclosed to the

paent.

From a legal point of view, there is

also an obligaon to disclose medical

mistake. If a lawsuit ensues and there

is a nding by the court of a failure

to disclose, harm caused by the non-disclosure may result in an award of

damages to the injured person.

Although the paent has both a moral/

ethical entlement and a legal right to

know the circumstances of an unex-

pected medical catastrophe, the dodge

comes in a variety of ways.

First, the dodge is based on disclosure

that is watered down, vague, and non-

commial. Common jargon includes

language such as unfortunate, compli-

caons, dicules, the baby didnt do

very well, the baby wasnt able to get

the oxygen from the mom, etc. - its

arully craed language which misses

the goal of frank disclosure, but is close

enough to the line to prevent those

responsible for disclosure from being

held accountable either for the harm

or the non-disclosure. Its all well and

good to have codes of ethics and laws

regarding a duty to disclose, but when

theres no way of holding healthcare

professionals accountable, we have the

unsasfactory reality in which medical

consumers nd themselves.

Second, the dodge is based on poor

denions of the extent to which infor-

maon must be disclosed. Nowhere, is

it spelled out that health professionals

need disclose there may have been

carelessness that caused the harm. The

duty extends to disclosure of informa-

on that there was harm, not what

might have caused it and certainly

not that anything they did might have

caused the harm.Third, the dodge is based on the ming

of the disclosures. During inial dis-

closure meengs health professionals

get away with saying its too early to

say what happened. This is a problem

because the real internal invesgaon,

which provides real answers, is shielded

from public view by provincial law.

Provincial disclosure law in BC

mately brings us to secon 51 of

Evidence Act. This secon prov

established by hospital managemeinvesgate care or pracce within

disaBilityandlife insuranCelegal QuestionsandansWers series

heard that a person with a disability

s not eligible for life insurance, true?

Many people use life insurance as a part

of their estate plan. Insurance can be

used for a variety of purposes includ-

ng: leaving a legacy for dependents,

covering debts, and/or helping the

community through providing a payout

to a favorite charity.

have been asked: is it true that

people with disabilies cannot get life

nsurance? We can start to nd the

answer with another queson: what is

the disability?

Life insurance is, in its simplest form,

a contract. You pay the insurance

company a certain amount of cash, and

n exchange, the insurance company

agrees to pay your estate (or whoever

else you ask them to pay), a certainarger amount of cash if you die during

the term of the agreement. The com-

plicang part is, the insurance company

wants to pay you as lile as possible

- so they make a bigger prot - and you

want to get as much money as possible.

Put another way, it is essenally a form

of legalized gambling - you are placing

a bet with the insurance company as to

whether you will die.

f you ask an insurance company to in-sure your life, it will assess the risk of

your death, and if concerned that you

have a higher than average risk, it will

either: a) charge you a higher premium,

b) prohibit payment if death is caused

by certain factors, or c) decline to insure

you. As provincial human rights codes

do not cover insurance issues, the only

thing that insurance company needs to

focus on is how high the risk is that you

will die during the term of the policy.

This is where disability kicks in. If your

disability is such that it will cause you to

die very soon - such as a heart condion

that has already caused three heart fail-

ures in the past year - you likely wont

get insurance. Alternavely, if your dis-

ability is psychiatric in nature and there

is a history of suicide aempts, the

insurer might agree to sell you insur-

ance, but with a condion that it wont

be paid if your death is self-inicted. Fi-

nally, if your disability is such that your

life expectancy is reduced, but death is

not imminent, the insurer might issue

a policy, but charge a higher premium

based on your reduced life span.

The problem with this approach is that

the determinaons are not always

accurate. The risk assessments are

only as good as the data that the insur-ance company is relying upon. As an

example, I have cerebral palsy. Having

a large mortgage and a young son who

will be nancially dependent on me for

a long me, life insurance seemed like

a wise idea. Unfortunately, the insurer

wouldnt issue a policy for me, stang

that I was too much of a health risk.

I found the response a bit odd, so I

pushed them into disclosing how they

concluded that I was a risk. The com-

panys explanaon was that as I hada life expectancy of 35 years, I should

have died a few years ago. Aer further

discussion, it became clear that the

stascs they were relying upon had

been compiled during the mid to late

1950s. The life expectancy stascs for

a person with cerebral palsy are consid-

erably dierent today. Aer realizing

their error, a life insurance policy was

issued for me with a regular premium,

because my disabil-

ity was not a factor.

When it comes to

life insurance, thedisability in itself is not necessarily a fac-

tor. The issue is the risk of death - and

some disabilies do cause a reduced

life expectancy. However, if the insurer

has a mistaken idea about the nature of

the disability, it could result in a refusal

to issue a policy. If your applicaon for

insurance is rejected, or your premium

seems very high, it may be worth chal-

lenging the insurer on its decision. This

is where belonging to a group insurance

plan can be really helpful. Threateningto get annoyed at the insurer may not

have much impact. But threatening to

convince the whole group to take their

insurance elsewhere can have a signi-

cant persuasive eect.

Please note that this column is provided

for general informaon only. As spe-

cic facts aect how the law is applied

to your circumstances, it is always wise

to get the advice of competent legalcounsel.

It is with great sadness that the

Cerebral Palsy Associaon of BC

bids one of its long me volunteersfarewell. Ron Wyant began with us

about ten years ago when we were

at 317 Columbia in New Westmin-

ster. He had just completed a full

me college program, in computer bookkeeping,

and was looking for a place do to his praccum. The

CPABC was the place. The rest is history.

Ron was responsible for all things to do with mem-

bership and donaons - updang lists, sending thank

you leers and issuing tax receipts. He was also

responsible for that dreaded monthly task of recon-ciling the bank statement.

Every Tuesday Ron would faithfully show up at our

downtown oce to volunteer 5 - 7 hours of his me.

If there was more to be done, you could count on Ron

to be there. He was always an extra pair of helping

hands at ALL oce funcons - annual general meet-

ings, open houses and informaon fairs where Ron

had a chance to interact with the public on behalf of

the Associaon - something he thoroughly enjoyed.

Aer so many years serving, Ron felt that it was me

to go and let someone else enjoy the opportunity.

It is rare to nd such a dedicated volunteer. Ron,

the sta and members of the board all thank you for

serving so faithfully. You were an important part of

our team. You will be missed!
