Going back that long ago bring back lots of animosity and anger that I though I had work through! The way I was treated not only by the doctors but let down by the College of Physicians&Surgeons! I will post some of the correspondence that I had with COP&S! Though I share it with you!

To whom it may concern,
My name is Lise Latulippe and this is my
second attempt to have my complaints taking seriously. My first complaint
against these three doctors has been totally ignored. At that time I complain
about the treatment that I was receiving by my family practitioner Dr N Shams
and also against Dr A. Greenspoon and Dr G Chudnow of the Greenspoon Headache
and Neck Pain clinic. Also I have made 2 attempts to get copies of my files
from the Greenspoon pain management and both at the time where completely
ignore. I have attach a copy of my formal complaint which detail how I have
been blocked from getting access to my files and finding out why my body is
still reacting to BOTOX. Needless to say
I got a call back Intake Triage Assistant and when I told her what BOTOX was
doing to me she call me a liar and that BOTOX does not cause those side effects
and reactions. Well let me explain to you what this really does to you and I
can assure you that everything that I’m am telling you is the truth I know first hand what this poison does to
your nerves system and I know for sure that BOTOX is doing this to me. I have
been telling my doctor that my lungs and heart is being greatly affected by my
body constantly reacting to this poison. The scent and the blow it send to my
body sometime is so powerful that it literally knocks me out and I can tell you
exactly when that happen. And that should be in every doctors noted that I have
encounter cause I told them that that was my biggest fear that my system won’t
be able to handle much more. I was laugh and ridicule by my own Dr Shams when I
mention this and told me that I was crazy and that I was not going to die and
that I was lying and making these symptom and reactions up. Despites me taking
the time to go and see him while my face look horrendous and despite my begging
and pleading for his help. My biggest fear was confirmed a few weeks ago by my
heart specialist. I redid an ECHO and a ECG test and was showing some
improvement in the LV
showed normal left ventricular systolic function since it had a mild dysfunction
prior to the test in 2008. We redone the test again in December of 2009 and as
I already suspected my heart as been taking the brunt of these side effects and
reaction and nothing can be done for me at this point. I was told that my LV is deteriorating and
degenerating there is no cure, no operation to save me. I was basically left to
die on my own and try to figure out why this is happening to me and how to get
from one reaction to the next and they
are very severe I can assure you. The worst reaction is the one that will
deliver the final blow. Let me describe to you what will transpire before my
heart gets attack. I feel a twinge and a pinch in the chest area and sends
shocks to my heart. I feel like my lungs are drowning and make me gag which
turn into a huge heartburn and send more shocks to the heart. Then I feel a
tight squeeze and I am trying to catch my breath and instantly it feels like
someone lit me on fire and my body literally cooks from the inside and it
manifest itself on the outside of the skin. It turns into a huge body rashes
and the swelling is atrocious and very painful. I have this obnoxious sweet and
biter taste that is so nauseating that it burns the inside of my mouth and give
me all the symptoms I have describe in my original complaint. But the most
serious problem with these reactions is the smell and taste is so powerful it’s
literally knocks me out. I have ask my cardiologist “how much more body blow
can my system takes from these reaction before the final blow is delivered”
Ironic she did not have an answer to that question. After being confirm that
all along I have been trying to tell them that BOTOX does not leave the symptom
and I am definite proof of it.
Since the first complaint beside being call
a liar on the phone, I was told to go back and settle the dispute with my
doctor and as for to get my files she gave me a number for my doctor to call to
access my files if the clinic still refuse to release my file it can be
reinforce through the Public Advisory Department. Well needless to say I had
made 2 more request to get access to my files from the pain clinic and again
got stonewall and got nothing referring to my BOTOX treatment that I received
from the Greenspoon pain management. The last referral was sent on January 11
2010 still nothing. As for Dr Shams I have ask him why he did not call the PAD
to request my files he tried to diffuse the situation and got me to ask Dr
Koponen and see if she could help me and she flatly refuse since it is my
family physician duty to get them for me and not hers. I also made 4 requests
to get the full content of my files from him but again he was selected and none
included why he has come to the conclusion that I am lying. I have told him
time and again about my fears and what this BOTOX does to the nerves system.
It’s like I’m on simmer and once and awhile the temperature is raise to high.
That is not something I am making up it is really real. I have nothing to loose
I was hung out to dry by these three doctors and there conduct leave a much
more bitter taste than the one in my mouth now. This is an important health
issue too important for me to die without letting you know the danger and the
severity that it causes to the nerves systems. It might be something that was
never heard of but nevertheless it is real and it did happen I am proof of
that. Please look into the conduct of these three doctors. It was shameful the
way that they treated me and Dr Shams has a very bad bedside manner. He has a
habit of calling his patients liar, I am sure you will find lots of complaints
if you talk to some of his patients that is not his nationality. He has a habit
to belittle you and reprimand you like a child if your ideas don’t conform to
his. I heard patient complain to him and he would sniff and scuff at what they
say he shows the same contempt for me at times. I put up with him so long because it was so
hard to find a family physician, but at this point I don’t want anything more
to do with him. I rather die without a doctor with my pride and dignity intact
than to go back and suffer more humiliation, he is just shortening my life more
by aggravating me so much. These three doctors not only fail me miserably but
they failed to warn the public about the severity and how long term side
effects and reactions are indeed real and fatal. BOTOX doesn’t leave the system
like they claim it does it make you go through a long slow painful death. And
that is reality. This is happening to me now and my biggest fear is there might
be someone else out there that is dying like me and going through the same
humiliation and being denied the truth about why this is happening to them. I
understand more how this affects the system; I learn the hard way by living
this way for over 18 months with no instruction on how to fight this. I wasn’t
even giving a fighting chance to try and get help even though I shouted as loud
as I could, but no one was listening. I guess Dr Shams display his real
contempt to me when I was telling how happy that I finally talk to Dr
Filkeinstein and how excited I was that I seen an allergist to try to finally
get some answers and that it’s very probable that BOTOX cause this to me. .
Well he made sure he put me down real good and that was his last time
humiliating and degrading me. This is his exact words “What are you chance that
they will say BOTOX is connected to your symptom, one in a million or one in a
billion? I got so aggravated and infuriate and look him straight in the eye and
told him I am the “One” I can’t believe he would say that knowing full well how
hard this has been on me and what he has witness.. To be telling the truth and be
call a liar is insulting. That seems to be his favorite pet peeves At that
point I had enough and decide not to go back and put up with his abuse. I have
taken many steps to reconcile my difference with Dr Shams even compromising on
my part did not seems to bring any resolution just more pain. I try to bring
awareness to this serious condition and to make sure that this doesn’t happen
to anyone else. I was let down not only by these three doctors but also I fell
I was abandon by the Government of Canada. This is getting too serious to
ignore and took it upon myself to report my symptoms directly to the BOTOX
Company which in turn advise me to get in contact with every doctors that I
consult and talk in the past 18 months about this subject to call them immediately
and report what I have convey to them They gave me a case # 1002754US and a
phone number 1-800-433-8871 that the doctor needs to call. I abide by that and
sent copies to all doctors that I have convey my side effects and reactions to
and also gave them my consent to call BOTOX Company.
I have attached with this copy of almost
everyone I had contact with to try to get help during this very traumatic and
difficult times and copies of the request that where made to get copies of my
files and also a disc containing the
photos of the reactions during BOTOX reactions.
Looking forward in hearing from you and
would appreciated it if this time I would get a respond back through mail or
email. Hopefully this matter can be giving a serious look and be giving
priority. I have accepted my faith a long time ago and I know that nothing can
be done for me. The only thing I am asking now is please don’t let me die in
vain let me regain my self respect and dignity. This is a dangerous precedent
when making money is more important than a human life.
In closing I want to thank you for taking
the time to read my letter and am confident that this matter will receive the
attention that is required.
Thank you,
Sincerely,
