HEAD INJURY ON JUNE 8 1998 AT HUMBOLT AND DOUGLAS IN DOWNTOWN VICTORIA

I HAD THOUGHT SOMETHING REALLY BAD HAD HAPPENED TO ME WHEN MY 1978 OLDSMOBILE WAS DROPPED ON MY HEAD

HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEWS TODAY? OH BOY; THE COMIC BOB SAGET HAD A BLOW TO HIS HEAD AND HE DIED!

I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM MY SUITE IN VICTORIA. I PLANNED TO SEE IF I COULD PRACTICE WITH A BAND I KNEW WOULD PROBABLY BE AT THE ESQUIMALT INN.

THERE WAS A SCHOOL BUS HAVING TROUBLE NEGOTIATING A TURN WHERE IT WAS PROHIBITED TO TRAVEL BEING A 94 PASSENGER BUS. I STOPPED AND PARKED IN AN EMPTY PARKING SPOT WITH A METER ETC AT THE CORNER. I OPENED MY DOOR AND EXITED MY 1979 OLDSMOBILE ROYALE SEDAN. THE SAINT MICHAEL'S SCHOOL BUS LURCHED AHEAD AND J HOOKED SWINGING THE REAR OF THE BUS TO CATCH MY CAR DOOR AND LIFT THE 4000 POUND CAR AND THEN DROP IT, THE DOOR FRAME HIT ME ON MY HEAD. I FELL TO MY KNEES AND I BEGAN TO FEEL THE TOP OF MY HEAD SWELL.

SOON AFTER THE ACCIDENT I NOTICED I WAS SPUTTERING OR DROOLING AS I SPOKE. I HAD A SWELLING ON TOP OF MY HEAD, THE SKIN FELT STRETCHED AND IT WAS NUMB TO MY TOUCH.

I ENDED UP LAYING IN BED UNABLE TO GET UP AND I WAS UNABLE TO GO ANYWHERE. UNNOTICED, EVEN MY GIRLFRIEND AT  THE TIME DID NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO ME AND DUMPED ME BECAUSE I HAD NOT TURNED UP AT IMPORTANT TIMES. I KEPT TRYING TO GET UP BUT I COULD NOT.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED SYMPTOMS SIMILAR TO THESE AFTER OTHER ACCIDENTS AND COLLAPSES AS WELL. 

THE ICBC POLICY AND CONTROLL OF MEDICAL TREATMENT MEANT I WAS IGNORED AS I LITERALLY DISAPPEARED FROM MY NORMAL ACTIVITY AND I WAS TREATED LIKE I HAD COMMITTED A CRIMINAL OFFENCE BY ICBC.

I COULD HAVE EASILY DIED, NOT JUST THAT TIME BUT OTHER TIMES AS WELL!
