Keep it coming, time to bring all truth out in the open. It will be easier for people to understand all of this when it is laid out there.

Love your new name for Bell – Shammie. How did she benefit, was it just the importance of the board chair that she was placed on a pedestal and it went to her head. Why did she do what she did.

EH –
ALL doctors – like ALL human being – are self serving. Everyone works for his/her benefits.

The only difference between people is what are they willing to do to benefit themselves. Some will see that best way to enrich themselves is by making their services/products more valuable to others. Some will plan to take others’ money/services/products without returning equal or more value in exchange.

Dr Prem Kamboj who you are referring to has given his life to care for Tulare children. He could have settled anywhere – where we have human children. He has been a gentleman and we could not have asked for a better doctor in Tulare.

OTOH, Dr Parmod Kumar’s actions have been – as Dr Kuo said on one post here – “well publicized”

Dr Parmod Kumar was doing very well all the way through 2007 – he was busy, he had ladies, he was making money, he was king of the hospital, he had friends in top layers of the city & county, doctors followed him … it was best one could ask for. It was far from kosher but goings were good for everyone – patients, doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, HMOs.

Then, he took a bite of the forbidden fruit. He got greedy. When the 85M$ bond was passed, he salivated and started planning on how he could channel some of that money into his pocket. That is when all the trouble started.

In 2007, he asked Dr Kamboj & Dr Smith to run for the board. He expected that he would be able to control them and further his conspiracies. Dr Kamboj & Dr Smith refused to do that, so did Roger McPhertige. They had falling apart and both Drs were forced out by Dr Kumar.

As to the Medi-Cal patients, it is about idiocy of our state govt politicians. Medi-Cal pays ~$15 for an office visit for adults and somewhat higher for children & pregnant. How can any doctor see these patients in private office and keep lights on unless he is doing some con on the side – like referring them all for procedure and taking a cut from the specialist.

NOW, it is the same Medi-Cal that pays anywhere between 75-300$ per visit if the same patient is seen at one of these “clinics”. GO FIGURE. Now, you know why we have so many clinics around and why there is so much fight between these clinics and why Adventist drools over acquiring systems with active clinic licences. Majority of this money is spent on over-bloated administration and towards profit of the owners and doctors get paid a fraction – still better than $15.

For someone living in Visalia and never having used TRMC, EH claims to have a lot of intimate knowledge of TRMC !

FYI & corrections-
1- Few of the past members of MEC had any financial gains to have by being on the MEC.
Dr Patel, Dr Pradeep Kamboj & Dr Fabella were not even doing direct admissions and were using hospitalist services. Dr Smith was the only ENT and his work would have been same, whether he is on MEC or not. Dr Kesava left in disgust when Shammie Bell – under the puppethood of Dr Parmod Kumar – included his name in lawsuit. Dr Kesava was not even in the COUNTRY on the day of incident !!!! He had much more work in Hanford and Visalia and his time here was essentially a charity from him and gift to us. Dr Rashid had the hospitalist and ICU contract and had reasons to be “nice” to the man in power, not the other way. Dr Sunga was employed by TCHC. No income from hospital work.

2- I agree about MEC giving hard time to some doctors to get privileges. Who knows what kind of skeletons were in their closets? MEC has to follow its rules about quality. There is a possibility some of the delays were politics based but NONEof them were money based since except for Dr Betre, NO MEC member was making any money from hospital work that he would have lost. There was no OBG application, so Dr Betre issue is moot.

3- Whatever the case, CFHA had nothing to do with what was happening at that time. It did not even exist. And when it did, privileges issue was a tiny tiny issue as compared to what else was going on.

4- As to the quality of care, it was a mixed bag in the past. But the new ones Benny got are absolutely the lowest quality you can ever find. Benny has a way of offending people with his narcissistic, egomaniac, arrogant personality. Staff who have no choice but to tolerate it stayed. Doctors who had no choice stayed but anyone who could leave wanted to be not around him. Even Germany & Samantha Bland have difficulty tolerating him.
Now, you can estimate yourself which doctor would have better ability to find work elsewhere – one with better credentials or one with poorer ones. Which doctor would be willing to tolerate working in demeaning and poor quality, unsafe work environment – good ones or bad ones?
Some good doctors – like Dr Kuo & Dr Chu & Dr Evans – have stayed on due to their loyalty to Tulare, TRMC, their patients and given that it is not easy for them to uproot and move at this stage of life. Dr Zhang is bound by the contract and since he is path, his work satisfaction is not as much affected by hospital quality. Dr Macluso had left but was then blackmailed by Dr Parmod Kumar in evening hours of 01-27-2016 at his office on Packwood & Demaree – AND also was given a good contract. Dr Wong & Dr Loeffler did leave.

You know good and well the issue is Dr Kumar….and actually Benzeevi…..both were under review. Things got dropped with Benzeevi because workers didn’t want to face his wrath….they have bills to pay.
Dr Kumar on the other hand was disciplined and he failed to do what was asked of him.
But the strange thing about that was it was written into the contract. Who does that……oh and the secret meetings at Skip Barwicks house accounts for nothing…..?
Bell was the patsy….and Kumar and Benzeevi are the schemers. If HCCA was making money, then why is it they are already broke? Transferring items that are TDH property to SIH…..
And who wants to use the hospital with the Dr.s on staff that kill the patient? Routine surgeries….I’m sorry, your loved one died on the table.

You will be gone Benny. And you’ll be lucky to ever be employed again… unless it’s in a prison cafeteria. The citizens will fight back and run you out! We will get what’s ours back from your catastrophic demise. You can take THAT to the bank!!!

No one believes you Benny! Shut up & get out!!!

No knew believes a word of this Benny! Get out.

The big question is will this ever be unraveled or will these thieves get away with it.
