Richard Oliver Robinow

Fallen Neo part 2

Some doctors in Toronto use their power to make profit from pharmaceuticals which your American population just feeds on like candy to a baby. Looking back I could see that Robinow was working for something more important to him than his patients. I was surprised that Robinow has lied because he said that I was guilty but the witnesses said no. He's about power so I expected him to prove himself right. Like I'm better than you little maggot. The Naden Hospital is so Victoria-ish. The civilians there really have a thing against the military. I was treated way better in Halifax. Robinow talked to me like a was  bad person. I replied maybe because an allegation like that from my team makes me look very bad. He seemed happy about that remark.  What kind of doctor uses F words? Those words came out of his mouth when I said that this psych stuff and the Padre's office is about control over the member. It's not about the member. I wish I was guilty in a way because at least I would have been punished for a reason. But deep down I know it's over my ethnic background. Robinow has a point. As a whole, people in the military are not nice but I say that they at least have the intensity to do what civilians cannot do. I am now a civilian but in reality I am more of a soldier because I know that I can now kill. And here there are guns. The MPs introduced me to violence and I have acquired a taste for it. For now I secretly entertain myself with violent movies. While at the surface I live middle class because of my wife. I pretend that everything is fine. But I wake up at night in anger. And Robinow is responsible. Be calm around him. Try to avoid him but do not make it apparent. And I hope you have a trade like QL6A. Good luck and get a union job if you're out of the mob. God bless. Oh...Tamara Goranson at the Naden Hospital says there is no God. Well, it felt like that in Victoria.

DND patient

I know one of Dr. Oliver Robinow's previous patients. His role is different than a normal doctor's. He must weigh the patient's needs vs the employer, DND. With the the previous patient who I know in person, Dr. Robinow diagnosed her with a bipolar disorder. It was an attempt to defend the employer in a case of abuse of authority. My case was similar. He told me that I had some personality disorder (no name given so I can't google it). He knew that he was defending the employer. And he knew that I had become aware since a victim I knew had just been his patient. So if you step in his office, it's you vs the employer and Dr. Robinow's objective is to defend the employer's interests that pertain to liability. It's too bad the he did not call the RCMP or the Military Police when he had a lead on why OS Clow killed herself. He's under the impression that people who serve are mercenaries. I walked away from him and released from the Navy. I'm leaving for China but I'll leave this as a warning to the boys who google his name. Run. The pen is mightier than the sword, soldier. He is dangerous because he's a real doctor who is biased. He blackmailed me with a 5F release. I felt like breaking his skull and that's when I walked away from him. I had no idea that a doctor could be used in such a way in the western world.

I was treated by Dr.Robinow for several years and can say with absolute certainty that he saved my life. When day House at UBC was still operative many of his other patients he had sent there said the same thing. The man is highly esteemed. To often we self diagnose, and I believe that's what many of these posters have done, but Dr. Robinow does not tell us what we want to hear, or listen to our own fabrications, safety nets and coping mechanisms we have established for ourselves over the years. These tend to be carefully constructed lies and Dr. Robinow helps to clear the muddle, and it is often a difficult process, so we can become full human beings once again. Anyone who is able to get in to see Dr. Robinow is fortunate indeed, and I would happily and highly recommend him.

I was a patient of Dr. Robinow when he was a Psychiatrist at Vancouver General Hospital in the 90's. I found him to have a haughty and supercilious demeanour. This was most evident in his reluctance to treat patients not belonging to his economic strata. We must remember that being a physician in BC is a privilege. Fortunately, with forums such as this patients now can better exercise their right to choose the finest physicians.

I found Dr. Robinow to be arrogant and dismissive, thus I cannot recommend him.
