Its no doubt that our health care system has its problems, whether
its funding, coverage, insurance companies, politicians or red tape. Rarely do
you think of Doctors being a problem.
In a Dallas Morning News editorial
labeled “What
does it take to shut down a hospital” discusses the issue and controversy
surround just one type of Doctor.
In America we love a feel good story, especially if that
story has to due with protecting the weak and sick, and aiding business. Enter
Dr Mahmood who has a habit of taking over failing hospitals, which one would
think is a noble cause. Unfortunately the “Good” Dr has a habit of running them
even further into the ground, stealing and extorting money from insurance and
patients and having shitty service that has resulted in death.
The even more appalling thing… This has happened
approximately 6 times. How does that happen our author asks? He attributes it
to poor communication between government organizations, which is no surprise to
this reader.
Both state and local officials have cited Mahmood’s 6
hospitals over the last 5 years, including onsite inspections resulting in
power outages, unpaid taxes, poor venting and air circulations and false
billing. I can see 6 hospitals having problems, even some as bad as the ones
cited, but I would think that a red flag would go up in some governmental system
of 6 failing hospitals were bought by the same guy.
An interesting article that reinforces why I hate doctors
and resolve what ails me the old fashion way... by rubbing dirt on it, taking a
swig of whiskey and walking it off.
