Neil Jeffrey Kraitberg

Leslea LeBlanc

My parents almost lost me at 24 years old because of this doctor's abuse and lies. I took time off my full time job to go into an inpatient unit voluntarily to face childhood trauma and deal with it once and for all so I could move into a productive adulthood. My boss and coworkers worked hard to cover my absence, I felt guilt over this. Dr. Kraitberg fell asleep on me so many times. He never offered any treatment besides drugs upon drugs and when I spoke about my past so often I would have to wake him up. After a couple weeks of this I obviously saw no light at the end of the tunnel. I cut my wrist in hospital which resulted in the staff turning on me and within a few days they refused me as needed meds and then attacked me and unjustly restrained me. My childhood trauma involved restraints. I swore to Dr.Kraitberg that I would tell everyone what they all did and I was released from hospital very soon after my assault by staff. That attack on me, being restrained again, brought my past back full force. I tried returning to work but was bombarded with nightmares and a trauma response so strong I would startle and scream at people just for walking by me. After a month or 2 I attempted a "serious" attempt. I was in hospital for a week fighting rhabdomyolysis. I would not have gotten to that point if not for the retraumatizing by staff and they wouldn't have attacked me if not for me cutting myself and I would not have done that if not for Dr. Kraitberg seeing a young woman in distress and taking full advantage. The CPSO protected him and the HPRAB upheld the CPSO. My life took a turn the day I chose to go see Dr. Neil Jeffrey Kraitberg. I am a hardworking A grade student who has lost years of schooling because of the PTSD I had and the PTSD they made so much worse. I have incredible potential yet I continue to lose the things I work hard for. I am 44 this year. My biggest regret is reaching out for help. It was heartbreaking to hear the lies of Dr. Kraitberg and the QCH Ottawa staff, and even more so to see all the professionals wanting to believe them. I have never hurt a soul. I rescue animals. I care for children. To be so ruined and then have them assassinate my character and watch everyone swallow it up. I can't trust a soul anymore.
