I am providing the following confirmation regarding my
specialist status for the occupational injury sustained on
January 23, 2026.

The delay in my clinical assessment is a direct result of the
biased sound survey provided by BCRTC and the withholding
of material evidence by both the employer and the Board
during the initial adjudication. These actions intentionally
minimized the severity of my injury, forcing me to secure my
own specialist access through the ER and my family physician.

Current Specialist Status:
1. Otolaryngology (ENT) Assessment:

e Physician: Dr. Samad
° Date: May 27, 2026 at 2:00 PM (New Westminster)

2. Secondary ENT Assessment:

e Physician: Dr. Abdalkhani (Van City ENT)
° Date: July 16, 2026 at 10:00 AM

My absence is medically justified and directly tied to a
workplace injury that is currently the subject of a Prohibited
Action Investigation (File 2026D316).

Any further attempt to characterize this period as "AWOL"—
while I am navigating a care system delayed by your
company’s own reporting—will be treated as continued
administrative bad faith and retaliatory conduct.

Sincerely,

Mark Holand
