		<description>Thank you new board for sending Benny packing and hopefully his little dog Toto will soon follow.  Hacca was doomed from the start....and that is exactly how it was planned  all along and with the help of a inept board that truly could not speak for themselves or think for that matter... it just made it that much easier to bring trmc to its knees.  Mickey just read the contract that’s all you need to know what Benny and Kumars intentions were.  I’m just stunned how intelligent people in this town still can’t see through the smoke and mirrors; hope no one tries to sell us the Brooklyn bridge.</description>

I really don&#039;t get all the pissed off comments, regarding the new board kicking HCCA  out.  Over the past 4 years HCCA has been draining large amount of money out of the district (aka Tulare tax payers pockets).  If the old board was still intact.  A year from now the hospital would be closed anyways, except everything of value would have been completed sold off or leveraged for a shady loan so Benny can have even more .

We (the people of Tulare) would have been let with no hospital and an ever larger debt.</description>

Samantha who are you kidding. So Benny wants to make sure all the equipment is safe for the new management; but on the other hand won’t turn over the financials to the board to make the transition easier for the new management?  What a kool aide drinker</description>

		<description>So is there a time limit to a suspension? Is there some point at which it automatically switches to a closure with more ominous requirements to reopen?</description>

		<description>EH, Watchthewholething, Mickey.  All pseudonyms for Benny hisself.  Benny you have too much time on your hands, wait till you are in the orange jumpsuit to blog.   You were a failed doctor at KDH, then at TRMC, then you teamed up with snakeoil Kumar and found your true calling - White collar crime.</description>

		<description>To My Fellow Employees, MD&#039;s, and Clinicians of TRMC,

I want to start off by saying in the short time at TRMC, I have gained great knowledge and long lasting friends that no one could ever replace. TRMC has been a place of family. 

To all the Community of Tulare and surrounding areas we serve, it has been a pleasure to meet and help where I could. Encountering patients and their families in their time of need gave me a sense of enlightenment in regards to what each person goes through. While as staff we may have had similar experiences in our lives in time of need, but each person is different. No matter what the issue was, each and every person employed at TRMC did what they could with what we had to work with. 
No matter who comes in as new management, stand behind the Board. They will succeed in their efforts and have this Hospital back and better than left by HCCA soon. But it will take time. 

To HCCA Management,

Comgratualations on destroying a facility and employees. Your efforts will possibly get you at some point a nice orange like jump suit. Each and every upper management shall be investigated. If found to have done dishonest acts, we as employees will send you a xmas card while your stay is being carried out.
There was no excuse for what occured here. No one buys your BS or any excuse. I own my own side business. I must own anything that comes my way, good or bad  

To Dr. Benzeevi,

You are a man of no character. You decided to collect money, then not give in return. In my years in the medical field, no hospital has ever ran the way this was run, period.
You are a joke, and I don&#039;t think you will be able to buy your way out of what is coming to you. Your lack of compassion for the employees and staff has shown their true colors long ago. And you statement to ABC 30 was very telling, still blaming the Board and opposition for this happening.
YOU WERE THE ONE CONTROLLING THE HOSPITAL. YOU NEED TO OWN IT. THIS WAS ON YOU. STOP BLAMING ANYONE ELSE BUT YOU. 
Get over yourself. I would suggest moving back to Moreno Valley. 

I hope all of my fellow employees find jobs soon or assistance that has been offered. We as employees will fight for our families and contimue to do what is necessary to find employment.

TRMC will always be a part of me and I thank you.</description>

Samantha Bland, then why were televisions being removed at 9pm last night from the Earlimart clinic by someone driving an HCCA truck.  That would be in violation of the bankruptcy wouldn&#039;t it?</description>
