And for the record, I was recording the ENTIRE BOARD MEETING , for staff that wasn’t able to attend, to watch, and I NEVER said that “he should sit down, that doesn’t matter” . What I did say, was it was VERY long and many people may not understand all the information given. It was overload, for some community members. The Bankruptcy attorney was more brief.

This is very important to the Tulare community to save our hospital!

Deanne,
If you are being fully honest and transparent, then the truth is that their has been negative comments BOTH sides. I have never made excuses for things I’ve said or done. I even have apologized publicly for things I’ve said. Feeding into the derogatory comments and blatant negative statements about the staff, our care and friends of this community and those who serve it, isn’t something I tolerate. I should ignore the ignorant comments from some, but It’s not in my personality to sit back and hear such harsh things that has been said time and time again on your Citizens site and do nothing.

I have always maintained my support for the positive direction of the hospital. You can’t deny that since 2012, some Drs in this town have been sending their patients elsewhere. A hospital needs patients to survive. Period. We swore an oath to serve the patients that need us, and I have no intention of going against that oath. It’s hypocrital when you say it doesn’t happen from Citizens for Hospital Accountability . The little “jabs” that came from our current Board Chair, Kevin Northcraft, at the Board meeting on Friday that got cheers from his supporters. The condescending behavior continues , yet you say you support the staff. Northcraft and Citizens never even gave HCCA a chance. The whole trajectory of their mission was to get HCCA out from day one. Don’t deny it.

I continue to pray for the success for our hospital, and that all staff get to maintain their jobs to serve Tulare.

Dr. D
HCCA did not even exist at the time contract was signed.

I was told that while the attorney was presenting all the documentation about the communication with Dr. B and his attorneys that you said he should just sit down and why did that matter. It matters because your CEO has been lying to you and for a long time. He never gave the board loan options and he won’t give requested financial data. He wouldn’t even give them the CDHP report, they had to request directly. They weren’t even told HCCA wasn’t going to make payroll the very next day after a board meeting.

I won’t call you brainwashed but I will say you are not looking at this with an open mind. You have chosen to believe falsehoods and not only that you have been extremely vocal in a negative way about the Citizens group that has tried to bring these issues to light. Your behavior and comments are well documented in video as recent as just a few days ago in the employee meetings. I wouldn’t exactly describe it as positive. Your behavior is poisonous to other employees that might like to look at this with an open mind.

I’m not brainwashed. I’m trying to stay positive for our hospital. I’ve never waivered on where I stand. I am a loyal employee for our Tulare hospital, which we need for our community. I stay because I care for my patients. I didn’t become a nurse for the paycheck. I showed up on Friday to serve my patients, even though I didn’t know when I’d get paid. I’ve never compromised the care of ANY patient I’ve cared for. If anyone wants to challenge that , or post ridiculous accusations hiding behind social media , that’s cowardly. I will talk to anyone FACE TO FACE any day of the week. You know where I work.

Probably Benzeevi has been using TRMC to bankroll Southern Inyo’s Chapter 9 case. That is more than likely what happened to our hospital funds. He robs from Peter to pay Paul…..Benzeevi, the master of a shell game.
