Dr. Rae Lake

The applicant, an older, white, disabled man, alleged that the respondent physician discriminated against him on the basis of race, age, and disability by treating him dismissively, refusing to prescribe requested medication, and terminating his medical care.

The Tribunal found no evidence to support the allegations of dismissive treatment or that the refusal to prescribe medication was related to any protected Code grounds.

The Tribunal accepted the respondent's evidence that the applicant's medical services were terminated because he was confrontational, loud, and angry, causing a disruption at the clinic.

The application was dismissed.

The Applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and received statutory accident benefits.

The Insurer terminated weekly income benefits, and the parties proceeded to arbitration.

The arbitrator found that the Applicant's physical injuries had largely resolved, but she continued to suffer a substantial inability to perform the essential tasks of her occupation due to psychological injuries until March 24, 1993.

The Applicant was awarded weekly income benefits up to that date, as well as supplementary medical and rehabilitation benefits for her residual psychological injuries.

The Insurer was entitled to repayment of weekly income benefits paid after March 24, 1993.
