[Vision2020] Gritman's Incompetence on CNN

[Betsy Dickow]

I can testify, happily and with gratitude beyond words, that I am alive because of Gritman Hospital.  Once again, heartfelt thanks to everyone at Gritman and their staff, administrators, and board members.

  Over the past 30 or so years every member of my family has been in Gritman hospital for some treatment or another, and all 3 of our grandchildren were born there.  I have always appreciated the care given to the most important people in my life.  Had I had any reason to suspect other than outstanding treatment from highly accomplished medical personnel, I would have taken them somewhere else, but I had no reason to do that.  I have confidence in the care the Gritman staff provides to the citizens of this area and I continue to be grateful we have a facility to meet our needs--one that continues to provide additional services to this community as the medical center continues to grow.

    I'll "avoid Gritman," as Donovan says, by eating healthy, exercising, not smoking, not drinking too much, and flossing every night.  Should those things fail me, though, and I need hospitalization, or should something sudden come up, you can bet I'll be heading down Main Street.  Not "in spite of Gritman's reputation," but because of it.

      We are blessed by the presence of Gritman Hospital in our community. If and when Donovan’s  accomplishments equal even a thousandth part of the contribution that Gritman Hospital, its staff and board members have made for over a hundred years, then perhaps he will have some credibility in his vague, ill-founded complaints.  I am beyond pity for you, (and even beyond disgust) Donovan, but for your own sake, and  to retain even a modicum of self-respect, knock it the hell off.

      Donovan,



      I'm sorry you get such pleasure out of dissing the hospital and many other organizations and individuals.  No one is perfect, and that includes you.

      Give us a break and a little peace from your  constant negativity please.



      Betsy

        Gritman's incompetence now hits National News!

        http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/offbeat/2007/09/28/bishop.not.dead.yet.kxly



        I want to remind people, avoid Gritman whenever possible. 



        Some might explain this as a simple clerical error. But if this guy was a diabetic, allergic to certain medications, or taking medications that could react badly to a medication administered because they have the wrong record, it could be fatal. 



        Basic 101 treatment is ALWAYS first ask, "Do I have the right person?" This has to be checked with birth date and/or social security number. 



        Nurses get fired and could lose their license for this type of error. 







        Best,



        Donovan
