Default WCB sucks

I guess Im just venting, Im sure many have their experiences. Theres a particular doctor who works for Occupational health and saftey who diagnosed me with metal poisoning, but says none of the many quite serious symptoms I have are related. These symptoms are all listed in the MSDS sheets he requested, all from my work that all include the metals I was exposed to, aswell as on the canadian OCH&s web page, but yet in his infinite wisdom they are not from my work, and not making me sick. I have been looked over, poked, biopsied, x rayed and mri`d there is nothing at all wrong with me according to 3 seperate specialists, other than the arsenic maganese, aluminum, and selenium in my system. I have an inspection with 5 infractions from Occupational health investigators from the jobsite all relating to resperatory saftey, but still... the doctor (apparently an expert on welding also) says nope, not a chance. I have now started selling my things, Im out of money, and was told again I still cant work. WCB wont pay me, and I have no money to fight them. I stopped by the shop today to hand in my resignation, since Im unable to work anymore, and guess what... shops still running, and there are two first year apprentices there, none of which are wearing the appropriate respiratory equipment. Oddly the guy who was there that I told what was going on, was fired. Meanwhile, the owner continues about 3/4 of a million a year in buisness off two 20$ an hour wages, probably doing alot of the pressure related work I used to do, now done illegaly.
