The outward migration numbers suggest the medical staff isn't trusted by non-emergency "customers." People planning heart surgery or other major treatments aren't weighing the corporate philosophy of hospital management into their decision of where to seek treatment. They want the best doctor they can find, not a good doctor backed by decent local marketing and town word-of-mouth.<BR/><BR/>Doctors departing DRMC in large numbers isn't good UNLESS replacements can better the medical care. That's no given - and unproven under hospital management - because DRMC's paid very high salaries in recruiting only to maintain sub-par results. If customers aren't seeking DRMC treatments, even under a monopolized local healthcare system, then those in the "trench" should look in the job performance mirror as well. It's only fair and is a reasonable request. <BR/><BR/>Another note: If you get up in the morning and absolutely dread going to your job, you owe it to yourself to, at least, look for other job opportunities. Your personal health and wellness isn't worth it and the services you're providing innocent patients can only suffer given the unconscious distraction of mental misery.<BR/><BR/>If you choose to "like it" and not leave it, then chew the hay and spit the stubbles. Enough workers must obviously "like it" because the debate water is barely rippling except for Forthright's interest in the issue - which is good reading and a good communication forum (but not a journalistic outlet). It's a soapbox.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I like the idea of "Boss Hog" walking the ER and asking such customer service questions if privacy law permits. The questions posted by the commentator that should be asked by "Boss Hog" to patients should be asked by the nurses and doctors too.<BR/><BR/>And if patients complain of chatting, drinking and eating at the nurses' station - most of it is likely to be work related, but I'm not buying that there isn't enough loafing going around to make such patient complaints legitimate. The "High Horse" ain't that high, staff! Remember, the front line medical staff gives patients the impression of the care they're given. Hmm, on that one.<BR/><BR/>We should continue this discussion of alleged tyrants, tinker-bells, Bosses Hog and medical care. A "ship" as large as DRMC needs many oars and many rowers. Don't look exclusively at the Captain - but keep an eye up there!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29570776.post-41537834474364517972007-09-19T18:09:00.000-05:002007-09-19T18:09:00.000-05:00Who is the new ER Director at DRMC and which membe...Who is the new ER Director at DRMC and which member of administration is he/she related to?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29570776.post-48377653974480695562007-09-18T13:35:00.000-05:002007-09-18T13:35:00.000-05:00DRMC and Washington Avenue seem to never go away. ...DRMC and Washington Avenue seem to never go away. Who is surprised that the Washington Avenue project is over budget? Now would be a good time to revisit the street design. The two-way, four-lane, parallel parking is not going to "grow" downtown. If you think it will, try finding a parking space at the Federal Building/Post Office or any of the other buinesses on that block. A better idea would be two lane with diagonal parking. Is it fair to the businesses, banks, and churches who choose to stay downtown on Washington Avenue not to have sufficient parking for customers?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
