  These Kootenay Italians that are manipulating a lot of people in these communities is the biggest embarrassment these communities are now facing consequences for. So you guys grew up together in your pepperoni circle jerks and you're convinced you're all elite untouchables? Give up this game already. You have all fucked with the wrong people and you have made a mockery out of some people you should have never fucked with. You may think you're important in your communities but if you went to any major city and tried this you would quickly learn how pathetic you truly are. You would be doing these communities a true service if you committed suicide.

  So there's something to be learned from these consequences these police, psychiatrists and justice system workers are facing now. The lessons learned is to stop assuming you can harm anyone you want. You can't assume everyone you mess with is a nobody and it's obvious that because of your personality disorders and the money involved that you are no longer mentally fit to be doing your professions. A number of you should have never been given any amount of authority and it's beyond disgraceful what you have all done over these years. So you have a chance to do the right thing and instead of making this worse you should resign from your positions and help encourage a better community. This deceit and disgusting behavior is going to ruin your own lives as well. None of you are geniuses in the way you created this messed up dynamic of control. It's easy to do this in smaller communities when you have a group of fucked up people. If this is something you truly desire to carry on and continue to harm more people then you all have to accept there will be more effective consequences countering your games. So I will repeat the meaning of this to you all. Do the right thing.

  What a lot of people have mentioned about pre judging patients because of community gossip is accurate. Just about every single time I've been in the Nelson Mental Health office I've caught staff talking about me behind my back. The saddest thing is that there is an ongoing breach of community security issues at this office involving the police who target people in the area mostly because of this gossip and the staff sharing misinformation out of this office. This community loves condemnation towards people dealing with mental illness. Intentional malpractice is common when they view you as a problematic patient. When people fight back against the abuse you go running to the police for back up. This is extreme cowardice. Anyone who wants to actually heal and get better should go somewhere where there is professionalism and dignity towards recovery. These people need to know that mental health care just about anywhere else is actually helpful so don't let these people get you down.

  It's obvious that these psychiatrists, police officers, justice system staff & other community weasels think they're gangsters so you know what happens when you live that lifestyle? Death or prison, so you need to accept that when you choose to be evil. This game you all play framing people as narcs or creeps when your evil games aren't working is disgusting and you're only manipulating dumb people into believing this. For what it's worth all the right people are wise to your deceit. You all are a complete disgrace to your professions.

  This is ridiculous. Richard Magee, Steven Spencer, Andre Piver, a number of corrupt police officers and people involved in that local justice system are easily the most disturbing evil I've ever seen and I have seen a lot of messed up things in my life. This freak show needs to end. A number of those cops were forced into retirement which has been a start in reducing the harm that these people have caused. Richard Magee, Steven Spencer & Andre Piver need to stop their malpractice and this ongoing manipulation of the court system has to stop. This has devastated many local families and caused a growing number of deaths of people who didn't deserve to die that way. You can't keep this going forever and you will not be going around thinking you can harm anyone you want based on your abuse of power. This will be put to an end.

  For the sake of promoting awareness and preventing future harm to his patients you should know that this psychiatrist has a history of destroying lives. When I did see him he immediately decided I was a bad person within this community and continued to try to harm me over the course of several years. If you request him to not be involved with your care in some cases he will go right ahead and try to have you put on a heavy combination of medications that will harm your health. Because of the local corruption between law enforcement, the justice system and mental health services he has been getting away with a lot of disturbing things. This has been going on for far too long and he needs to be banned from psychiatry.

  I was the one who lied about him chainsawing me and such. He’s not a serial killer, I just am a very paranoid schizophrenic and I apologize. He’s such a caring man he will probably forgive me. Just ask me. I’m Veronica harmonique normand

  Richard Magee seems to think being a psychiatrist makes you immune from having your own mental health issues. He has a severe personality disorder and he doesnt help anyone at all. The main reason Magee has gotten away with harming so many of his patients is because the local Police condone his behaviour. He is the go to guy whenever dealing with a difficult patient. Your best option if you have the misfortune of dealing with this psycho is to end all contact with him. He is another example of a Kootenay psychiatrist that should be in psychiatric prison.

  I'm a trans woman and went to see this Doctor about issues regarding depression. He told me my depression was caused because I am confused about being a women. He told me I was a man and that I needed treatment to get over thinking I was a women. I have never been so insulted in my life. I thought this type of anti LGBTQ ideology was rooted out of out health case system. Sadly it's not.

  I am a 29 year old woman. Last year I was under Dr. Mcgees care at trail hospital after trying to kill myself. 3 different times he walked in while I was naked and made comments about my body. This guy is a perv. He even commented I hadn't shaved my body in weeks. Like WT... kind of anybody says that.

  THIS Doctor is directly involved in a human trafficking cover up initiated by one of his coworkers. His cower and his coworkers wife took illegal unconsented control of my life recruiting this physician as well as others without meeting me against my wishes and with no legal authority to do such. These are 100% supported in official records such as RCMP records. These individuals secretly colluded with my parents in spreading a nonsense smear campaign that was use to justify the illegal control and trafficking. It was completely done in secret without legal authority and definitely without consent. They presented an unfounded slanderous smear campaign to recruit this doctor and others without even seeing them. In so doing they biased my ability to get objective anything from Interior Health. This doctor is well aware of this recruitment the whole Nelson Clinic is involved. Its documented in official records. These people acted as conduits for small town individuals who were intentionally running me out of Slocan and using their contacts and influence of my family to get away with it. This doctor is aware of the fact his whole clinic was recruited by a coworker yet they enable cover up and disregard these very illegal and serious actions. Stay away this guy will base your care and treatment off of rumors in the community.

  It's truly horrible that you had to go through all those things, that the inept and uncaring "professionals" you went to for help only made things so much worse. Also that now, instead of looking at what happened to you and trying to learn something about how things went wrong so they could possibly not make those mistakes in the future, they seem to be only concerned with doing whatever is necessary to cover their pathetic hindquarters in order to keep their jobs and maintain their unearned self-esteem and community respect. It's sad to see that among all those who contributed to the systemic abuse you endured, there doesn't seem to be even one -amazing, not even one - who has the humanity to admit that they may have been mistaken and that they are sorry for the negative impact on your life. It's almost as if they don't consider you to be a human being, as if you're essentially different in some way from themselves. Possibly they're afraid of lawsuits or of being publicly exposed as incompetent or worse, corrupt, but they have set out into a field of work to help people, and if they can see that they have contributed to harming someone, ethical considerations dictate that they try in some way to alleviate that. I'm not talking about money here, as I have no way of assessing that, but about trying to in some way offer you help, if in no other way than apologizing for misunderstanding and mistreating you, or for not caring enough to follow up when they knew things weren't going right for you and that they had contributed in some way to that bad outcome. Even if one of them just told you verbally (so you couldn't use it in a lawsuit) something like "look, they didn't have anyone else to do this job, and I was interested and they offered it to me, and I thought I could help people, but in your case, I just wasn't experienced enough and unfortunately didn't think to bring in someone with more expertise, and I'm sorry for that at least it would indicate some humanity. All of them probably have some mentor or therapist or past teacher or someone who they could contact to help them figure out what they could do for you if they were motivated to do so, but it appears they are mired in complacency and content with their misuse of their positions in your case. It is a very scary and sad example of laziness, lack of professionalism and really, just plain stupidity and lack of human concern. Having been with my ex-husband, Phil (who was a licensed MFCC with a masters in psychology and notable successes within his practice) for almost 14 years, at a time when (I just counted, trying to remember) over a dozen of our closest friends either were or had been licensed and practicing psychology professionals, either with MDs, PhDs or MFCC and Masters degrees, it makes me almost physically sick to think of what you went through and are still going through without any decent human in the field actually going out of their way to try to help you. I wish I was one of them so I could apologize to you on behalf of the profession, but since I'm just another lay person (who's been through years of therapy myself and lived through all those years participating in discussions about all aspects of the profession with all those professionals, and read most of the books they have), I can only tell you I'm so sorry that you have met up with some of the worst examples of human beings who practice in that field, and hope you will continue to make the discoveries you need to come to terms in your own way with what happened and that you'll be able to make peace with it all and move on from it so you can finally start living your own life. among our friends in that profession, none of them were beginners. All except one had had a previous career before getting into the field of psychology. Several were MDs, one was a famous actor, one a soap opera star, one a dancer and choreographer (on Broadway), one a sociologist (even now a tenured professor at one of the UC universities), one now has a practice in Beverly Hills where some of her patients fly in regularly to see her from other countries, and they were all the kind of seriously ethical and caring people who you could trust with your life. I cannot speak for them, but I will tell you that I spent so much time talking with them about so many related issues, that I would be profoundly surprised if they weren't all as disgusted by the treatment you've received as I am. Not that that is any consolation to you, but I wish you could believe that there are competent and caring people in that field, although I admit evidence in your area would not lead to that conclusion. I don't see what you can do except get out of there. .. the end of the letter.

  This guys a joke I never saw him personally but he supports his colleges at NMHAA that were involved in a proxy recruitment scam and knowingly was biased by them like the whole clinic was. I went to test the waters of this clinic assuming they had been proxy recruited (I later obtained the documents to support that hypothesis) Sandy Mclean this guys co-worker spoke with me in a condescending manner in front of my ex girlfriend after being biased I was some insane, psycho, addict, theif, rapist, psycho anyway it was obvious at the time Sandy Mclean had been based and she tried to funnel me into this guy who I'm sure also would have towed the line with his co-workers. You may call this an assumption but no one employee in this clinic spoke out about the proxy recruitment and influence by one of their co-worker and his social contacts even though he had never directly met me, I have records to support he did in fact do such, and that it involves complete nonsense. The action of his co-worker and the co-workers wife involves acting as agents on my behalf without consent and biasing this physicians clinic while I had on going legal claims against their associates in Slocan BC. I could go on and on and on but reality is this guy and everyone at the clinic he works at is more concerned about gossip slander and drama then actually assessing someones true mental state. After meeting with the clinic this guy works at I left to Ontatio and received an assessment of PTSD or CPTSD in large part caused by the people mentioned in this review. The whole clinic including this Doctor were party to it. It's Nelson BC think about it.
