Voice for the Voiceless

Look into the wrongful death of my mother, Segundina Belbes Bercasio.
Hold to account those responsible. Implement meaningful reform to help vulnerable senior citizens with choices that benefit them more than medical the system.

Why is this important?

Segundina was held against her will at Surrey Memorial Hospital contrary to a release approved by a doctor who treated her for a small cut on her face from an accidental bathroom fall. She ended up in oncology where she complained of numerous injections. She was subjected to invasive procedures without informed consent. There was an attempt to cover the circumstances of her death. Her family was systematically kept in the dark. A hospitalist at oncology finally said she was being treated for cancer. She had no cancer.

Segundina Bercasio died at Surrey memorial Hospital on May 14, 2008.

Segundina is my mother.

Why is this important?
It is important for mother`s family to get closure. It is important for the public to know this sort of thing is happening. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Canada's public broadcaster, has ran this story:
``Medical errors are underestimated to be the third leading cause of death...there should be more transparency." Mother's case was worse.
Her death was induced and hospital records support this conclusion.
Two doctors were taken to task by the petitioner. They did not show up at the professional review hearing. Why?
The answer is simple: Consciousness of Guilt.
Senior citizens are vulnerable members of society everywhere. They need a voice. This petition strives to fill that crying need. - SBB
Many voices, in fact.
