Dr Tang Wai saw my husband 10 days before my husband Suicided. My husband had worked for the City of Calgary for 28 years and was burned out, depressed and anxious about returning to the same facility. My husband had never been on stress leave or WCB in his entire career. This doctor, who we were pressured into seeing by the City of Calgary HR department, totally discounted my husband's concerns about going back to work to the same facility. The doctor told me that the return to work could go "one of two ways" . It clearly went one of three ways and my husband couldn't face another week at the same facility. The Dr's recommendation that my husband go back to work in the same capacity was the trigger that caused the suicide. My husband was willing to take a graduated return to work but needed to work at a different job. He clearly is motivated by an agenda for the Employers and Insurance companies and lacks the expertise required to deal with these types of cases. He missed the signs and discounted the seriousness of my husband's feelings and state of mind. After 28 years of exemplary service to the City of Calgary, both his employer and Dr. Tang-Wai failed my husband.
