Today the Mayo Clinic admitted to the deaths of 40 unnecessary deaths among it's patients -- due to excessive wait times. Accepting apology from it's Director - the Board of Directors authorized a bonus of $8,500 to the Administrator for a job well done!
This bonus, on top of her base $169,000 salary, was topped only by her salary and bonuses of last year. Her Chief of Staff, was paid a generous $233,00 last year... his associate received a mere pittance of $131,000 plus perks...
Oh, and the Associate DIRECTOR OF PATIENT CARE was paid $141,000 last year.....
My My, how does the Mayo Clinic stay in the health bid'ness if they pay this kind of money to administrators who oversee so many patient deaths?
Oooops, my bad... this wasn't the Mayo Clinic (forgive me folks), these are the tax payer payola numbers for senior staff at the Phoenix Vet's Hospital.......
There isn't a one among us that would think for a New York minute that the Mayo Clinic, the Sloan Kettering, or any other private medical facility would pay these hundreds of thousands of dollars to uncaring, incompetent managers... Not if they wanted to stay in business for another day!
But then, these are federal employees, receiving taxpayer dollars, and being supervised by other highly paid federal employees receiving taxpayer dollars. Go along - to get along?
Meanwhile, those mounds behind the hospitals across the land are the bodies of military veterans who kept their oath! Are we keeping ours?
Why am I reminded of the 1980 movie, 'Brubaker' with it's systemic course of evil? Except of course, there are no liberal heroes in this epic.
The shoes keep dropping - but if the stories get big enough - that feller in the White House and his lackeys in the MSM just keep hiding the pea and telling us that there is no there, there!
Is there? No DOJ investigation? No criminal charges? Nobody held responsible? Hello -- anybody home?
