Wrapping up

As I wrap up this little mini-series on the hospital, and I am sure there are some in administration jumping for joy with that thought, I am deciding on how to proceed.

Everything discussed in the past few weeks has been primarily related to the hospital, administration and the County Commissioners.

I could spend the next entire month on specific issues between physicians and the hospital and describe the difficulties that have transpired in this arena, but for now will let things settle down and have people digest what they have learned.

I am open to questions and will blog on them as the need arises. My email is healthblogger@yahoo.com
I may or may not use the content of emails (always protecting their identities) in the blogs depending on their remarks.

Tomorrow I will sum up my perspective and philosophy of the changes needed and why.

Although not everyone agrees with how or what information has been revealed, as a private physician, I have legitimate concerns and will continue to work to make the necessary changes. For four years I tried within the current system and made some progress, but with the decision of two Commissioners, all that work was wiped out. So now, as just a private physician, I plan to continue using available methods to make the changes.

Albert Einstein once said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Continuing on the same path with the same people involved as we did for the past 4 years seems a little insane.

Well, one thing that can't be denied is that a discussion is under way, albeit on a small slice of the blogosphere ... and as I know that was a main part of the idea to blog, it's been a successful effort.

No matter how you proceed, those who participate should at least have the guts to sign their names to their statements!

The frequent comments by "Anonymous," though valuable in presenting an opposing views to those of the Healthblogger, lose much of their validity due to the anonymity of the writer. The writer just seems to be a lackey with no vision for the future.

New Albany/Floyd County MUST learn to think more than 5 minutes into the future!

Mr. Tate,

the employees writing cannot give our names. We would be fired. It has happened too many times before to other employees who were vocal.

Once Mr. Hanson is gone, you will hear all of the stories that can't be shared now. That is why we decided to use numbers. Many are afraid to even do this

Dear Employee 101,

That's understandable. I wasn't referring to the "Employees," who would indeed be putting their jobs on the line under the current administration.

At least you let us know you're employees.

I was referring to "Anonymous," who is is either one of the administration, or a lackey therof.
