		<description>Did you guys see the copy of a letter posted on Facebook page by Jennifer Burcham?

It is a letter sent by Novia Strategies to TRMC stating that it will take TRMC to court if TRMC does not pay its outstanding dues.

Wow!!!

How many such hidden skeletons will be found when a board willing to dig will start digging??

I suspect they have already pawned off all of TRMC assets. AND, they have nerve to say that they brought TRMC back to profitability. 
What a joke !!</description>

		<description>At this juncture, I do not think the election is as much about voting for Kevin/Mike as it is about voting AGAINST the current establishment. 

We Tulare people are disgusted at:
- lack of transparency at the board
- mismanagement of our taxpayer dollars
- extreme cost cutting to the point of making this hospital &#038; hillman clinic a DANGEROUS place
- disrespectful treatment of public members at board meetings
- loss of good nurses &#038; doctors

We want CHANGE

We need CHANGE

We need honest truthful answers about how our money is being spent.
We need hospital to NOT put profit before care. 

We do not want an outside for-profit corporation to take so much money out of this hospital that there is no money left for normal operation.

We want to hold the board that signed such contract responsible for their actions. 

Therefore, we need to take back control of the board. To do that, we need to have 3 of 5 board members.

To get that, we need to
1- vote out Sherrie Bell &#038; Laura Gadke
2- Recall Kumar</description>

		<description>Did you know that when a baby comes to this world, there has to be a pediatric doctor to ensure health in early hours of life - which are critically important.

Thanks to the new management, now we have ONE locum doctor who handles all deliveries 24 HOURS A DAY 7 DAYS A WEEK !! 
Working without sleeping !!

This is DANGEROUS. 

I DO NOT want my baby to be born in this hospital.</description>

		<description>Myop:

Why the &quot;bad doctors&quot; not removed earlier?
Sherrie came on board in Dec 2012. Why wait 3+ years?

Why did this &quot;coup&quot; happened in a secret board meeting which was conducted illegally?

Why this meeting happened in late hours RIGHT AFTER the MEC meeting on Jan 26 in which - it is heard through the grapevine - that a decision was made to suspend Dr Kumar for his behavior towards nurses? 

Why were all but 4 doctors changed to &quot;provisional status&quot;? 

Why did Dr Trujillo - who was made chairman of Pediatrics AND Family Practice- leave?

Why did ALL pediatric doctors resigned? It is the same ones who have been practicing in Tulare since 1976. Why are they bad NOW? Almost everyone young in Tulare has been their patient at some point. What does Tulare people think of them? 

Why did all community clinic doctors leave? 

Why did diabetes doctor and ENT doctor leave?

You are saying ALL the doctors except these 4 are bad? 
It looks more like that everyone who is not in their camp is labeled bad. 

Did you know that one of the leading doctors in this bunch of 4 was disciplined at Bakersfield Heart Hospital - for - drumroll please - sexual harassment !!

One thing that is common among this bunch is - sexual harassment. Way to go Tulare hospital.</description>

You seem to attack everyone that has an opinion different than yours. You also sound like a nurse from the hospital that is from Visalia. if so then there is no amount of intelligent facts that you will look at. You have your line drawn in the sand. Best of luck to you.</description>
