They did not intend to kill patients but they failed to think through consequences of their actions. They acted out of their greed & ego and their seemingly acceptable actions cascaded into a situation where we have a hospital that is a killing machine. Go to Tulare hospital only if you wish to die or lose a limb or suffer a big complication. I am getting a tattoo on my chest instructing EMS to not take me to Tulare hospital in any case.

Big LA politics hitting on little ol' Tulare.....HCCA loaning our money to SIH lying about that loan, Dr Kumar....'it's a line of credit'. 'I didn't approach any Dr's about the MEC'.....Those Dr's stated in Depositions, we didn't seek him out he sought us out. One stating he didn't even know how he was elected to the MEC! They still slander Deanne Martin Soares, Bill Postelwate and Dr Kamboj. Why? Dr Kumar was chair during Deanne's tenure as well as during Dr Kamboj's tenure.....he was in charge, he knows where all the bodies are buried. Our hospital is profitable as HCCA still tries to build the bottom line so he can qualify for a $79 million loan that someone's going to be responsible for. If we don't pay our bills we can make our bottom line look good too, until the creditors start banging on the door wanting their money!

Your reference is Kevin Northcraft has a "history of questionable decisions". The full quote from the flyer is "A history of questionable contracting decisions and increasing City costs which caused the City of Upland to disband its 100 year old Fire Department. He nearly bankrupts everything he touches." Why is the full context important? Because it represents the complete disregard for the truth and desperation of the Kumar Recall committee. Not only has Kevn never bankrupted a city he's worked for, he has been able to maximize revenue and reduce expenses by at least $1 million a year. He also was not responsible for disbanding the Upland City Fire Department. If you go to the following article, http://www.dailybulletin.com/government-and-politics/20161129/upland-may-snuff-out-fire-department-hire-county-instead-to-save-money, you will see that turning over fire services in the City of Upland to San Bernardino County appeared on the November 29, 2016 agenda....Kevin left the City of Upland in 1995. If they are not telling the truth about that....what else are they not telling the truth about?

Way to many ties between him and Residents for Responsible Hospital and HCCA. This Lysa person runs campaign propaganda in Monero Valley city council races. Iddo Benzeevi who is partner in HCCA plays into corruption down there. Kumar and HCCA need to go Rosalinda supported and help Jessie Salcido, she is employed by HCCA.
