[Vision2020] Gritman's Incompetence on CNN

Sat Sep 29 19:46:17 PDT 2007

"No one died. A file with an incorrect name was substituted for the
correct one, causing a huge bureaucratic mess. Big deal." Andreas Schou

  I beg to differ. A man with the last name of Bass went to the Gritman emergency room. They treated him using the wrong medical file. He died. If he would have died regardless or getting the correct medical file or not is something only a doctor can determine. What is certain, is they didn't follow proper procedure and one man is dead and another man is unable to get a loan, a job, write checks, or do anything to take care of his family. 

  I again ask, why has the Director of Gritman not offered an apology for this incident?

  Best,

  Donovan
