A B.C. health authority is investigating after a complaint from a Merritt man who said he was stunned to find hurtful and derogatory comments made about him in a medical file.

Robert Munro, 37, has been delivering furniture for the past 14 years.

But, he said, in December, he injured his back at work.

“All I felt was something in my back stretch and go pop,” he said.

He hasn’t been able to work since.

He filed a claim with WorkSafeBC, and said last week, he met with a physiotherapist at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops.

“He was really nice, to my face anyway,” Munro said.
