Carilion Federal Investigation Quiz
Sorry, replied to another thread here.
But 2, the recently reported FTC investigation about the imaging center purchase, and the one centered around the ER suicide.
As to the other, wish I knew, but they do need to be pitched.

Carilion Federal Investigation Quiz
LOL re the turkey! And speaking from my former little hole in the OR, the sales reps did more for us than Carilion ever did. As staff nurses, we didn't have a say as to what systems or implants were used for various surgeries, but the reps still brou...

NOW, its time for some solutions
Reasonable said : 'Only those directly profiting from the monopoly see it otherwise.'- I think this is approximately 10,000 folks who work for the Clinic and depend on their jobs to pay their bills as well as the bills of those who receive charity ca...

Patient care
To quote a former OR director: "The OR is the financial engine that drives the hospital." So to get this engine to full speed, there was (probably still is) when I was there the 30 minute turnaround time that was expected from the nurses/scrub techs ...

Patient care
I used to work for Carilion, in the OR at RMH. I saw, on a daily basis, how the directives from management adversely affected patient care. We've recently seen what understaffing in the ER has done.

Suicide at Carilion ER in July
The story in the Times said it was a man, and I haven't seen any sort of correction. Doesn't mean that they didn't publish one. That's a pretty glaring factual error.

News Update on Suicide in Carilion ER
"Carilion chief executive officer Dr. Edward Murphy could not be reached for comment."
A quote from the article. I'm somehow not surprised he wasn't available.

WATCH CHANNEL 10 on TUESDAY
Well, the article in today's Times referenced just 1 suicide (1 too many, imho), and shifted the blame to there not being enough facilities to which mentally ill patients can be sent.
