May 19, 2014 (Regular Meeting) Page 2010 Cabarrus County DSS Client To: The Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners. And: The Cabarrus County Department of Social Services Oversight Committee. This document is designed to provide you with a written request asking for the resignation of Tricia Baker as the Civil rights Officer for Cabarrus County, and to also satisfy the demands of John Koch Cabarrus County Attorney who has stated in writing that the Board of Commissioners has not requested him to investigate the allegations of corruption at, DSS until after this written request from me has been received. At this time I am also requesting the resignations of Ben Rose and Tricia Baker from the Cabarrus County Department of Social Services for the following reasons. I am also including a copy of a DSS document put out in May of this year which states that the Cabarrus County Department of Social Services is no longer controlling who can enroll in CCP. Tricia Baker oversees the Adult Medicaid program at the Cabarrus County Department of Social Services which is also responsible for helping poor people in need of medical treatment to receive this treatment from a charity care program named the Community Care Program of Southern Piedmont which is also referred to as CCP. This organization receives five million dollars a year from the State of North Carolina and provides some of those funds to the Community Free Clinic for treatment. CCP has until recently only accepted new clients if they were referred to them by the Cabarrus County Department of Social Services, which thus forced people in need of medical treatment to deal with that very corrupt and bigoted county agency. During the first six months of 2012 the two DSS employees who processed these applications were Mrs. Greenly and Mrs. Speaks. I filed a written complaint with the Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners in August of 2012 claiming that I had been discriminated against by these two county employees while attempting to navigate this application process. After being enrolled in the charity care program offered by CCP I was refused an appointment by the Community Free Clinic for weeks and finally had to show up in person and ask them why they did not return any of my two dozen phone calls to offer me an appointment. I noticed on each visit to that clinic that the lobby was either empty or just had one person waiting to be seen which led me to believe that they were intentionally refusing to call back perspective clients and set an appointment for them. After finally being allowed to come in for treatment at the Community Free Clinic I told them about the four main problems I was seeking medical treatment for, these medical conditions were as follows. Extremely severe head pains which had sent me to the emergency room, Coronary problems which were causing me great chest discomfort, a blockage in my neck and serious stomach and internal organ pains. Grace Liem the Nurse Practitioner at the Community Free Clinic who oversaw my treatment sent me to Carolina Medical Center Northeast also known as CMC to have test done on my stomach and my neck but did nothing about my more serious Neurological or Coronary medical conditions. From those two test I found out that I had acquired a bacterial infection in my stomach that was causing me internal pains and also had a glob of Plaque stuck in my neck which could kill me if it got to my brain. I was given antibiotics for the stomach bacteria but the Community Free Clinic refused to help me with the much more dangerous problem of the Plaque in my neck even though it was life threatening. I was also sent to have a test done at the Sleep Center ran by CMC Northeast in order to allegedly find out if I was having problems breathing while sleeping but encountered so many Patients Bill of Rights violations by the staff working there that I attempted to file a complaint afterward. I first brought this problem to the attention of Rebecca Gould the immediate supervisor of that clinic but she was totally indifferent as to her staff being hostile towards patients so I told her that I would take this problem to her supervisor Doctor Robert Mitchell which seemed to make her very unhappy. Mrs. Gould immediately called a Mrs. Lee Marie Carrol who works for the Northeast Physician network and informed her that I was filing a complaint, Mrs. Carrol then in turn immediately emailed CCP claiming that I should be terminated from their program because I was making derogatory comments about women by filing
