Dear Woodduck, I cannot believe that Kevin quoted Jeff Wesselman's name in this report. I think you are right on target, Lets give this new CEO a chance. Hopefully, he will reach out to all the doctors in Natchez and turn the place around.

Will the Natchez Regional Medical Center Board ever talk to us employees and inform us of the current situation? Do they even care what the employees think?

The Internal Medicine group (including Dr Stubbs) are notorious for not admitting patients to the hospital and shipping them out to Baton Rouge or Jackson, as soon as a patient is sick enough to be in the hospital. One wonders why, Dr Stubbs is testifing for NRMC in Jackson, when these doctors do not add to any revenues for the hospital.(may be he is well connected to the Board or is well connected to Mr Brown). Why would the hospital buy beds without having a CON. God only knows what this administration is upto.

I have given contructive ideas in all my posting thoroughout this week. If you feel that their in no element of truth in our postings, why don't you ask the hosptial admistration if these postings are false. Then speakup. Constructive criticism does not mean silence. We do not have to substantiate every fact with a document. Unfortunately, the numbers and names had to be used to show how our hospital has been mismanaged. We all want our jobs and want NRMC to survive. So, wake up to reality and seek the truth. Get Real

Dear NRMCnurse, The person who made $130K was the cathlab director Mr KennyDukes who is a radiology tech. Your friend is a respiratory therapist, (god knows why a respiratory therapist was working in a cathlab) and cannot aspire to get such money. I know you have good intensions at heart. I know it hurts when our OR volume dropped. Peripheral interventions DO NOT make more money than cardiac interventions. Know your facts and by the way Dr Rubenstien was a vascular surgeon and never touches a catheter before he came to Natchez. The fact is, he went to a weekend course in Houma, LA and started to do peripheral catheter based interventions. Vascular surgeons are not trained to use catheters. The cut and operate on patients. Oh, by the way we actually ran Dr Dulum off from our cathlab because of our CEO. You are right instead of arguing the petty stuff, lets get real

NRMC has a total of over 110 beds. Of which there are 8 ICU beds and 8 telemetry beds, rest of them are on the floors.
NCH has a total of approximately 70 beds (realistic and usable), although they claim to have close to 100. They have 5 ICU beds and out of the 70 beds they have 30 beds that have telemetry capability. NCH is a much smaller hospital than NRMC.

Amen, Natchezenema. You hit it on the spot. NRMC had taken a loan of over a million dollars in year 2006. The board Chairman always claimed he was instrumental in getting the loan. Perhaps, Natchez Democrat can to look at who got the commission for the loan. Although they knew that they were in deep financial trouble, the Board has been pushing for the LTAC recently. Interestingly, the person who has represented to apply the CON (Mr Mansoor) for the LTAC and who wants to run it happens to be a Board members relative. May be Natchez Democrat can do some investigative journalism and shed some light on these issues. And the list goes on.......
