Dr FabienGagnon (Edifice Champlain - Porte 12 - Bureau 3300)

(Translated by Google) I have a great deal of respect for doctors of integrity and worthy of this profession. But him... At first glance, he seems nice and professional... Don't be fooled by appearances. He will try to pass himself off as a neutral and independent doctor but he will act in the interest of the client who pays him: if you bring up disputes / grievances at work, he will misrepresent your words in his report... in the interest of who pays it? On the other hand, the real facts which are not in favor of his paying client, he will enter them in the conditional in his report. Regarding your consent to the expertise, he will also violate his obligation to obtain free and informed consent, the document he will have you sign not being sufficient (since you sign it under duress). In addition, he will act as a seller of private and family information to your employer: everything you tell him will be recorded in his report, which is illegal: your childhood, your interests, the profession and the age of your family members, etc... everything that does not have to appear in his report because it is strictly private and confidential, whereas his role is to give a medical opinion concerning your fitness to return to work. Also, he dazedly tells you that he forbids you to record it for legal reasons (what's the deal for a professor emeritus? Is it to protect himself and his paying client from libel suits) . The law gives you the right to record it without his knowledge, you are not required to obtain his consent because it is your career that is at stake. Given the omissions and distorted remarks that he could include in his report , do not enter his office without having activated the recording and above all, do not say so, you are not required to do so. Also, to some of his questions, he will ask for a "yes" or "no" answer. Trying to argue with a "it depends" type answer will not sit well with him, this individual being a paid bureaucrat ticking boxes on a form. But what does the College of Physicians do towards such individuals? (Original) J'ai beaucoup de respect envers les mdecins intgres et dignes de cette profession. Mais lui... priori, il semble gentil et professionnel... Ne vous fiez pas aux apparences et ne vous laissez pas duper. Il tentera de se faire passer pour un mdecin neutre et indpendant mais il agira dans l'intrt du client qui le paie: si vous voquez des litiges / griefs au travail, il dformera vos propos dans son rapport... dans l'intrt de celui qui le paie? Par contre, les faits rels qui ne sont pas en faveur de son client payeur, il les inscrira au conditionnel dans son rapport. Concernant votre consentement l'expertise, il transgressera galement son obligation d'obtenir un consentement libre et clair, le document qu'il vous fera sign n'tant pas suffisant (puisque vous le signez sous la contrainte). En outre, il agira titre de vendeur d'informations prives et familiales auprs de votre employeur: tout ce que vous lui racontez sera inscrit dans son rapport, ce qui est illgal: votre enfance, vos centres dintrt, le mtier et l'ge des membres de votre famille, etc... tout ce qui n'a pas figurer dans son rapport car strictement priv et confidentiel alors que son rle est de donner un avis mdical concernant votre aptitude de retour au travail. En outre, il vous dire d'un air hbt qu'il vous interdit de l'enregistrer pour des raisons lgales (quel est le problme pour un professeur mrite? Est-ce pour se protger et protger son client payeur de poursuites en diffamation). La loi vous donne le droit de l'enregistrer son insu, vous n'tes pas tenu d'obtenir son consentement car c'est votre carrire qui est en jeu. Vu les omissions et propos dforms qu'il pourrait inscrire dans son rapport, n'entrez pas dans son cabinet sans avoir mis en fonction l'enregistrement et surtout, ne le dites pas, vous n'tes pas tenu de le faire. Aussi, certaines de ses questions, il demandera une rponse de type "oui" ou "non". Tenter d'argumenter avec une rponse de type "a dpend" ne lui conviendra pas, cet individu tant un bureaucrate pay cocher des cases sur un formulaire. Mais que fait le Collge des Mdecins envers ce genre d'individus?

(Translated by Google) Before my meeting with Mr. Gagnon, I read the reviews written about him, just to see who I would be dealing with. It must be admitted that the majority of the opinions turned out to be correct. I left the meeting quite dazed. He is a cold man who acts like an automaton. I didn't feel listened to at all. Reading his report, my feelings turned out to be correct. There are several passages that do not reflect what was said. It is apparent that he takes the people in front of him as mere numbers. He adopts a haughty attitude (again, it's my humble impression) and he seems to do this job only to collect money from the firms that send him clients. I've told my insurer about it, sometimes I'm not the first to raise these points... On the premises, no receptionist, no one came to see me in the waiting room, and moreover, Mr. Gagnon was 25 minutes late when we were told to be present and especially not to to be late ! Far be it from me to want to influence anyone in a negative way. But my experience turned out to be very far from my expectations. I expected to meet someone human and who showed a little empathy. We'll come back for that... (Original) Avant ma rencontre avec M. Gagnon, jai lu les avis crits sur lui, histoire de voir qui jaurais affaire. Force est dadmettre que la majorit des avis se sont avrs justes. Je suis sorti de la rencontre assez hbt. Cest un homme froid qui agit comme un automate. Je ne me suis pas senti cout du tout. lecture de son rapport, mon senti sest avr exacte. Il y a plusieurs passages qui ne rflte pas ce quil sest dit. Il est apparent quil prend les gens qui sont devant lui comme de simples numros. Il adopte une attitude hautaine (encore l, cest mon humble impression) et il semble faire ce travail que pour collecter largent des firmes qui lui envoient des clients. Jen ai fait part mon assureur, des fois que je ne sois pas le premier qui soulve ces points... Sur les lieux, pas de rceptionniste, personne nest venu me voir dans la salle dattente, et au surplus, M. Gagnon tait 25 minutes en retard alors que lon nous dit dtre prsent et surtout de ne pas tre en retard ! Loin de moi lide de vouloir influencer qui que ce soit de manire ngative. Mais mon exprience sest avre trs loin de mes attentes. Je mattendais rencontrer quelquun dhumain et qui faisait preuve dempathie un tant soit peu. On repassera pour cela...
