An Open
Letter To Matt Mernagh
I hope I Found A Crack in His Armour
Attn: Matt Mernagh
Good Morning Matt
My name is Blaine Barrett, with a
nom de plume TheSmeeGoanGuy
I’m a Medical Marijuana Advocate
with a blog and Dr. Rob Kamermans is one of my near and dear causes. When you
commented to Tom Blackwell about Rob Kamermans you made a minor slip of the
tongue that I have to challenge. You made a couple of way out of line comments
about a man you obviously know very little about.
You
owe Dr. Kamermans an apology!
It was stated:
“Yet the
fees for signing marijuana forms did rankle some of Dr. Kamermans’ patients.”
Where
did that come from? Who!
There has never been one complaint from any patient regarding the
matter of fees. That is because if you were one of his
patients you would know that if you told Rob you had a problem and needed a
refund there would never be an argument. You are his patient! You
have a problem; His fee is hurting You: to refuse a refund would be to
do You harm!
“FIRST!
DO NO HARM!”
That
is the whole fucking reason he’s in this mess!
He
honored his Oath as a Physician!
Does
anyone have a problem with that?
He signed applications in a futile
but commendable attempt to relieve the Hurt being caused by the refusal
to do so by 67000 of his fellow Physicians on the advice of the Canadian
Medical Association.
They
consequently have turned their backs on him!
He can
expect no support from them!
“They seemed exorbitant,” said Matt Mernagh,
a
prominent medical-pot activist.
His Greed and Criminality is the
product of Cop propaganda and you’ve apparently bought the slander. You
demonstrate your ignorance of fact when you comment about his intentions and
apparent greed as evidenced by the outrageous exorbitant fees he was charging.
What is reality about this Greedy Criminal shit?
Pay Attention: It’s a lesson in elementary Mathematics!
It’s common to hear $250 cited
as his fee. Correction! That’s one of his fees. That was what he charged
to make a House Call in Halifax. He intentionally saved his Halifax patients half the return fare to
come to him in Ontario, and he saved them a hell of a lot
more when you look at fares from BC.
You might also consider that the
average cost of a signature was ($500,000/4100 signatures) = $120. That’s
not too bad is it? It’s a lot lower that the outrageous exorbitant $250 Halifax Home Call and that brings up a
question: What were the minimum charge and the lower
fees that dropped the average that much?
I can’t answer that but I have
someone who just did. This morning I got an e-mail from my friend and ally Jon.
He has Crohn’s disease in all its nasty ways and it’s bad. He lives near Rob
and is a long time patient. He is outraged by the treatment being accorded Rob
and is extremely critical and sensitive to anything written about his
doctor. He disappeared on us for two weeks we feared he’d died but there was no
way to contact anyone to find out. He popped up two days ago and won’t say a
damn thing about whatever happened but he read the Kamermans column he felt
compelled to supply a few missing details that answer
What was the minimum
charge and the lower fees that dropped that much?

A Very good and fair article.
Few things i did not see addressed, local &
regular patients paid nothing, zilch, zero for signings of MMAR forms, i know
of many that were not even asked and a handful of others that traveled to see
him and did not have the cash to pay because of being on ODSP or other pensions
/ assistance and he just signed for free or on condition they donate to the
local food bank.
The only 2 doctors advocating and actively signing at
that time were Rob Kamermans and doctor David Saul (see the order entered by
the College of Physicians and Surgeons against David Saul - - an older
and longer haired near-clone of Kamermans in looks and advocacy) and both
became overwhelmed by demand from patients that could get no offer of help
anywhere else.
Dr.Saul also did not charge many of his patients
unless they could afford and offered.
Dr. Rob also throws patient Xmas parties at a local
tearoom, does house calls and invites patients over for dinner or to help pick
fruit or hang out with him and his wife. Since being charged he has cut
back on his open heartedness but not by much and still calls to patients to see
how the new meds are working, to remind of pending appointments or to do 'well
being calls' when appointments are missed.
What other doctor calls you to say "the cherries
are ripe, come by and pick some?"
<><><><><><><><><>
That is a question for you Matt. I think
you owe it to him to check out the truth about him. You’re a person of
experience in this sort of shit and I think you could do him a great favor!
You’re a Celebrity and your large following deserves the truth. Take the time
to find it out about Rob and then tell them what reality is!
Both his character and professional
reputation need salvaging because of the Character Assassination he’s had at
the hands of the police. There is another matter where you could be of great
assistance but before I say anything about put on your lawyer hat.
Financially Dr. Kamermans is now in
really deep water. His Insurance Coverage for Legal Representation just ran out
and he is now in the position of having to defend himself. NFW! That is
hopeless. He has none of the basics skills, knowledge, but most of all his
character is such that for him to assume an adversarial posture is impossible.
I don’t know if the man has ever
felt rage or wanted revenge.
He needs help and I am confident all
4100 of his patients will join me in asking you to do so.
Please consider my request for
assistance for the man. He is ruined. Even if he managed to get the whole pack
of bullshit legal charges dismissed he still will have no practice, no
employment and a bunch of bills that aren’t going to go away
In conclusion Matt, you think just
like the Doc. I can hear him saying what you did about him in the first person:
“Part of me feels that I’ve been thrown under
the bus.
Part
of me feels, ‘You kind of did it to yourself.’ ”
Maybe he did but his intentions were honorable and they made him a
victim
If you extend him some help
you will be helping a Doctor who demonstrates the Six Pillars of Character that C.M.A., and the rest of our modern
society, have either forgotten or never were taught.
Trustworthiness. Respect.
Responsibility.
Fairness. Caring. Citizenship.
The Medical Marijuana Community owes
him some payback.
I hope you can provide some.
Best Regards,
Blaine Barrett
