Update on physicians committee
For those avid readers who have been loyally following the postings, I appreciate your support. As an update to a posting last month regarding what I felt was a manipulation of certain Physicians serving on our Medical Executive Committee by the administration; there has been some new developments.
As you recall, January was my first month not serving on the Board of Trustees or the Medical Executive Committee. At this meeting, it was brought up that they wanted to change our Bylaws to prevent physicians from serving in both of these capacities even though the only conflict arose because the CEO was always being held accountable and challenged on decisions.
I was appalled and outraged at the blatant misrepresentation of the facts that was given to physicians at this very first meeting that I was not in attendance. I subsequently sent out two separate letters along with supporting documentation to the physicians. They were all enlightened and most were angry at the attempts by certain individuals to manipulate things concerning physicians and the best interest of the hospital.
The issue was brought back up in the February meeting for a vote and the motion failed because of lack of a second. And besides this motion failing, the committee decided to submit a resolution to the Board asking to have physicians placed back on the Board. But more on that tomorrow.
This should send a very loud message to those involved that physicians are not so out of touch and we will do what is right when all the information is given. This is another major setback in the relationship and trust that physicians have with individuals in the current administration.
We hope the Board acknowledges this and decides to not change their bylaws preventing this to occur. We hope the Board continues to watch closely as more and more physicians become increasingly unhappy.
