Doctors criticize power of ARMC's medical director

ET Snell, this isn't about Sharon Gilber or the union. Geezzz. You really need to get a better act. The one you have now makes you look like a crazy man with no life.
At any rate, Dr. Steinmann's letter of concern was very poignant. It appears as though he is deeply worried about patient care. It appears some patients have suffered some serious injuries at the hands of some medical staff at ARMC. This has got to be a concern we all share.
Dev Ganadev is a very wealthy man. He and Uffer go way back. The whole money making one person controls the contracts is a long fetted machine. This issue should have been looked at a long time ago. It has been allowed to lie unchecked because Ganandev has the pull of at least three memebers of the BOS. Ovitt, Biane, Gonzales. We all heard about the free medical services they and their family has received. Well, as free as taxpayer dollars can be. Ganandev has been allowed to run amock because he filters a lot of the money from those contracts back to those members of the BOS. Investigating Steinmann's comcerns will open a pandora's box.
Kudos to Steinmann for stepping up to the plate and doing the right thing. We should all write to the Grand Jury and demand an investigation. Let's throw all the bums out. Let's vote in some BOS members who have no affilations or promises to anyone. Let's help Steinmann in his quest to do what's right.
Who's with me? Let me know. I will send you a copy of the citizen's complaint form.

Try to throw Dr Steinman under bus... typical tactic by Medical Director Gnanadev.

People like Gnanadev have such hubris that they’d never resign because they don’t believe they’ve done anything wrong; they’re above reproach.

I am concerned taxpayer. I have found out that there are many calling for action by the Board of Supervisors. Several people have written far more eruditely about the problem at Arrowhead Medical Center than I could.
Unfortunately, several members of the BOS are compromised and will not act because; 1. they receive or actively solicit political money from ARMC medical contract holders 2. They have received free care (and perhaps more) at the behest of Gnanadev.
If they do not investigate, act and suspend Gnanadev as they did with Uffer, then they have lost their own ethical compass and should recuse themselves from the immediate ARMC investigation by immediately resigning.
