My WCB Alberta video was banned by Youtube.
I've uploaded it at this site.
Maybe WCB Alberta hacked YouTube.... who knows.

My Story
Injured my back at work.
WCB denied I had a herniated disk for 3 months until a CT scan and MRI revealed that I did.
WCB CUT-OFF my benenfits and medical care several times when I would not subject myself to a damaging Back-To-Work program that forced me to do inflamatory excersises that increased my pain and further damaged my lower back.
I paid for my own Chriropractic treatment.
I went to a local Fitness club and did (common sense) upright excercises for 3 hours per day, paid for by me.
WCB refused to launch a proper work place investigation, I proved 3 times to their lying investigator that I indeed was lifting 80 lbs.
After 5 months of sub standard treatment I was CUT-OFF from all support. I was forced to sell all that I had and relocate to the city.
WCB put me on a 10 lb. lifting limit and said I had to get a job.
I could not apply for 98% of Jobs because of the lifting restriction.
I filed 5 appeals, 1 was denied, the other 4 were not submitted to the appeal board, but instead were destroyed by my Case Manager's Supervisor.
WCB found out exactly how much money I owed Canada Revenue Agency.
On my last Independant Medical Exam the WCB doctor wrote in his report that I had been employed out-of-province. He lied and it is used as a basis for ending what little support I had from WCB.
At this point I have a full time Job.
I quit taking all medications, even though I need them.
I can lift about 20% of my pre-injury capacity. I can no longer work in heavy Industry.
WCB will not even consider giving me any treatments that may improve my well being.
I live, work and sleep in constant pain and discomfort.
There is a non-surgical treatment available right here in Alberta that has an excellent track record, WCB will not even look at it in my case.
