Hello, My name is Lisa - I am new to Cochrane and just did a search on the law society page. Fun fact - I am also in the legal assistant program at Bow Valley College - but that's not why I'm reaching out. To make an extremely long story short, I need a little assistance. I have arranged to have the matter heard via Zoom - so there will be no need to go into the Calgary courthouse. If I can give you a brief rundown: During the height of the pandemic (November 2020), I had a psychiatrist abruptly and wrongly discharge me from her practice. She then went ahead and put false and inflammatory statements in my medical records. In 2021, I tried to rectify these issues by taking her to small claims court - while also seeking a remedy to correct said records. I was unsuccessful and. essentially just got bullied into dropping my claims (long story). Probably the most damaging entry she put in my records was that she had to call the police on me. Another long story, but there was nothing emergent for her to do this. She violated doctor / patient confidentiality by doing this - but this is not my issue at present. Fast forward to now. Essentially this woman said (in police records I was able to garner from FOI) that she was afraid that I will kill her (completely preposterous - as - among other things - I was living here in Alberta and she was living in Ontario). She has now gotten herself licensed in Alberta (she did this about 6 months after making false claims against me) - and now she has set up a practice here. I am fearful of what this woman is capable of - in terms of what she has done over the past four or so years. So I filed a civil restraining order against her last Friday. Because it is not family/domestic in nature, this is what I was advised to do. Tomorrow (Friday) I am going to file my affidavit of service, and possibly speak to duty counsel. It's my understanding, if she were to file a response, she should have done so already and served that upon me (5 days). I know I do not NEED a lawyer for Monday, but I WANT one. This doctor has unfettered legal resources and representation via the Canadian Medical Protective Association (CMPA). This is a huge taxpayer-funded organization that allows doctors essentially free legal protection from their discretions. I just need someone to "stand beside" me and speak for me, because I am certain her legal team is going to try and discredit me and decimate me. I just cannot afford a huge retainer. I am amendable to paying for your time to briefly review the case and speak for me on Monday. Please let me know if this is something that you are (a) available for and (b) agreeable to do on an hourly basis.
