Dear Mr. Payne,

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:
o Physician: Dr. Samad
o Date: May 27, 2026 at 2:00 PM (New Westminster)
2. Secondary ENT Assessment:
o 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 "A WOL"—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,

000182
