Dear MellowOne, I was thinking about what you said about Florida and the fact you will get screwed easier here than basically any other state. But what is so very painful and horrible is the fact I did what I did for my patients and clients, not for me. Getting anything in return with the exception of my clients receiving their rightful benefits was the only thing I wanted and really what I expected. After HUD’s OIG conducted the second investigation and proved my allegations valid, I was positive the Health Department would at least reinstate me as the Whistleblower Protection Act statute promises. In fact the last sentence in the statute states, “ everything is to be done to make the Whistleblower “whole” again. The DOH not only hasn’t gotten around to giving me my job back, today I found out that the Chief for the Bureau of HIV\AIDS was told by the Dept of Health’s Inspector General to not place me in a position. The accurate wording in my e-mail from him was “I recall an e mail response from our inspector general that did not allow the department to place you in a position.” How demeaning is that? I did what they consistently tell you to do, they say “don’t look away when you see something is wrong, tell us.” They say, “you will be protected by the state and the agency.” Not only did this never happen to me, I was never remotely compensated by the health dept for all of my loses. It is Congressman Wexler, my attorneys (which I have because of Congressman Wexler) and HUD’s OIG department that is doing everything humanly possible to live up to the statutes standards. The health dept was responsible for the actions of The AIDS Coalition of Volusia & Flagler Co. and after 25 years in public health and working in the field of HIV\AIDS since 1986, the Inspector General tells the health dept. not to place me in a position. I don’t think a “thank-you” is in the future as well. I want these bureaucrats to stop and really think about something one day. I want them to go to work, do a satisfactory job, come home and have dinner with their family (and kids), and go to bed in a safe and comfortable bedroom. The next day I want them to think about being attacked in their own office by a subordinate co-worker who thinks you are there to take down the agency therefore she looses her job. I want them to then think about the consistent harassment I took daily and never left because I had a child to support. And then while they slept and their children slept, someone breaks into their home and steals everything precious to you and your child, and make it happen three days after Christmas, when all of the presents that were under the tree are no longer there. Next is the firing because you cannot steal from AIDS patients and clients and you can’t be silent. After that everyday is filled with lose until you lose the one person in your life you love more than yourself and for kicks lets take that child out of Florida and place him in IL, 1,500 miles away. You spend your savings trying to bring him home because you’re not sure why a judge, a former employee of the embezzling agency, an ex who abused and then abandoned his family eight years prior, and a sleazy lawyer, who has successfully given you a psychiatric diagnosis of being “delusional” based on that angry former employee’s retaliation has been able to do these inconceivable and grotesque things successfully in court in the U.S. You have no attorney, no money left and you’re in the hospital for female surgery. Yet, I pushed and finally the truth came out, only there are two problems. One being every time we get to the part where Zak is supposed to come home the judge recuses himself and we have to start all over with another one. Second, if the court knows I am not delusional and that I told the truth, and that the agency is closed down and there is a tow year on-going federal investigation based on my allegations, why won’t one of these judges, these “officers of the court” stand up and say “we were wrong!“ We are on the 5th judge. This is insane and obscene. Yes it’s immoral, unethical and basically illegal, but it doesn’t matter in Volusia County when you have a couple of bucks. At that point when you haven’t seen the only person in your life that you’ve worked for and loved and mothered and nurtured because this group of people managed to get over and no one is courageous or honest enough to say, “an error has been made, please take your child home and you’ve been reinstated into the job you respected so highly that you didn’t descend into the depths of fraud and embezzlement” does the exact opposite, you must remain calm and articulate and smile occasionally (never cry). But you also have to loose everything, your son’s baby pictures, your diploma and your sheepskins (degrees), furniture, electronics, movies, tapes, toys, car, games, jewelry, and your family pet, an IWH, Shamus, getting the picture? Next with no one believing you and no one helping you and being away from your child for the first time since he was born, and you’ve committed no crime, you have to live in a rat-infested shelter, while you maintain and keep your sanity. I’d like to see DOH’s Inspector General go through 1\3 of that for her job, for her beliefs, for her commitment. Thank-you for your thoughts and prayers. I believe in the power of prayer and in people like you.
