Ole Raybeenezer was so excited that he doled out $10 Kroger gift cards to all DRMC employees for Christmas!! (Yeehaw -- now THATS some good eatin! A generous Christmas feast for all you healthcare worker's hard work!) Maybe we should elect Humphreys for mayor, governor, or even president. With that kind of financial genius about him, he will definitely be in high demand --- for something! ; p
Plus, word is -- at the last board meeting an executive session was called, which means that everyone vacates the room except Ray and his top dogs to meet with our fine board in private. A little birdy said that the board informed ole Ray that DRMC was getting a lot of "bad press" and that they did not want ANY employees laid off as was originally planned because that would just create even a darker image for the hospital.
Looks like Ray has saved the day again. [Yeah, right] I guess we have the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and Heart Hospital to look forward to in 2008. What kind of fruitcake really believes we need either of those services but didn't need our Burn Center???????????????? Bad judgment call, Mr. Humphreys.
Ok, for all of you "I'm sick of hearing about DRMC and Leland School District" folks -- grin and bear it or simply just choose not to read when one of the two evil empires are mentioned on this blog. Those two entities are necessary for our community and should be run by administrators who are competent and compassionate. Instead, we have two dictators who suffer from delusions of grandeur who rule by fear with no concern for what's right and/or best for our children and our health care. May many citizen's prayers be answered and have 2008 bring new leadership to our hospital and schools.
Fly on the wall ---------zzzzz-------------
Yes, some serious bookkeeping indeed! Ray and his band of magicians are master illusionists when it comes to the trick of the "disappearing red ink" and just in time for the publication of his most masterful piece of fiction referred to as the "Annual Financial Report".
Anyone who has ever had to endure one of Ray's "state of the hospital" speeches knows that all of his facts and figures are pure fiction, but no one would dare challenge the great Ray and his high moral character. It seems odd that doctors, nurses and other health care professionals who work at DRMC are quick to report that the hospital is drowning in debt due to gross mismanagement; however, Ray continues to get "atta boys" from board members. Hummm... if Ray gave each employee of DRMC $10 for Christmas, I wonder what the board members found in their stockings?
Ray's delusional attempts to cover his incompetence by "cooking the books" is just another slap in all of our faces! Supervisors and board members need to wake up and realize that it is Ray and his cronies who are causing all of the "bad press". Only when they (or their successors) sweep the administrative offices clean will DRMC have a chance at redemption.

Well I guess "REQUESTING" one of our most respected physicians to resign/retire doesn't actually fall under 'lay offs'. Guess that's one way to do it.
Which physician would that be?
I heard the same thing yesterday afternoon and to say I was shocked beyond belief is putting it mildly!I can't wait to see what the 'official' statement is going to be on this one!
Gracious I'm sure.
'It is just that time'... kinda thing.
I've had the pleasure of working with this physian in the past and he would never publically announce if they were forcing him, epecially to cut costs. He's not that way. He has always given 110%to that hospital and always been an advocate to the patient and employees he works with. He would go along with this 'in the interest of the hospital'.
From what I heard yesterday there are a lot of employees feeling shocked and hurt over at the West Campus. The news has already started trickling over to DRMC and out into the community and from what I understand, everyone over there still doesn't know. How sad and underhanded is that? I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering what will happen to their jobs after all of this is done.
It is a shame that the hospital continues to be managed in such a horrible fashion. These employees who have been laid off or asked to leave in the past did not deserve it. Most of them were long term players who, like the physician mentioned above, had gone above and beyond for patients and the hospital. They were not only hurt by his terrible decisions, but their families were as well. I can tell you, there will be a huge party thrown when Ray and his entourage are escorted out of that building. All you have to do is drive 30 minutes each direction and take a stroll down the halls of nearby hospitals. There you will find many familiar Greenville faces who are employed at those facilities because of Ray's indecent and unjust behavior. This insider still doesn't know which MD is to be laid off as the blog referred to yesterday. I'm telling you the very folks working inside DRMC are always the last ones to be informed of issues that affect them! Hopefully time is ticking down on Ray's empire.
It's Dr. Frothingham, I hear. How sad. And yes - he is way too classy to publicly denounce this last shenanigan of Ray's. A terrible loss.
It looks to me like Ray may be trying to silence any potential "songbirds" who have first hand knowledge of his heinous little club. Dr. Frothingham has more respect in this community than Ray and all of his bible-thumping deacons ever could. It is sad that a medical doctor who has devoted his life and practice to Greenville can be cast aside by the likes of Ray Humphreys. My question is: Who is next?
What is wrong with this picture??? I am appalled by the board's constant blind eye. They all need to be removed and let's start over.
Dr. Frothingham? No No No!!!!!!!!!! He is such a great Physician/Man- a real class act- what a bunch of total Bullshit. A real loss- this is so unjust and unfair!!!
