[Vision2020] Gritman's Incompetence on CNN

Sat Sep 29 18:42:26 PDT 2007

One example that "got out" because of the human interest story.  You would
shudder at the number of "under the table" settlements that Moscow patients
have had to take because of incompetence, some resulting in life-threatening
situations.  These are much more important human interest stories but sadly
the terms of settlement prohibit disclosure.

 I will happily wave, one way or another, at Gritman as I zoom past on my
way to Spokane for medical care.
