TO BE FAIR....
Jesse Lujan says he wants to get to the bottom of questionable deals and or sweetheart contracts that Dr. Nathaniel Berg has with GMH.
Kiku says that I have only given one side of the story, the 'white' side, that I haven't given Jesse's side, the reason why Jesse wants to sit at the head of the oversight committee that oversees the hospital....so here it goes and it's mostly from Jesse's column in today's Marianas Variety....how fair can that be?
Lujan says that a long as he has breath in his body, and as long as the people of this island gives him confidence, he's not going to let you(Berg) get away with using the hospital as your(Berg) private piggy bank while our family and friends are dying in a substandard and mismanaged hospital facility. (Okay, here, I don't know how Berg's using the hospital has anything to do with mismanagement...since administrators come and go like the changing of the guards at the Windsor Palace)
So, Dr. Berg, Jesse Lujan says that you improperly used your friendship with Dr. Landstrom who's on the Medical Examiner's Board to limit competition to his practice to the detriment of the people of Guam, doing that by possibly participating in an effort to delay and ultimately denying a Filipino cancer specialist from practicing on Guam. Dr. Berg, is this true or false?
Then, Lujan says that there are questionable sweetheart contracts with GMH that you, Dr. Berg, are trying to keep him from investigating, as well, you have had 'questionable' dealings with at least one member of the GMH board of trustees, this member 'may have played a critical role in granting you lucrative contracts from GMH's board of trustees then entered into business dealings with any member of the board, it could potentially be considered bribery and should be investigated and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.'(Okay, Dr. Berg, I guess you don't have to answer that unless your attorney says it's okay)
But......this is what Jesse Lujan wants the public to know about why it's so important that he should be allowed to be allowed to be on the oversight committee over the hospital.
So.....is it a sweetheart deal for a man who put hundreds of thousands of dollars in MRI/X-Ray equipment to want a contract with GMH? He'd be a fool of a businessman not to want to hook up with some sort of contract and as I write this bet you he hasn't been paid in over 8 months and can bet you that he charges the hospital with no penalty! Does this man have friends who are on the board or who are doctors who practice at GMH? I dare say, even lawyers who fight tooth and nail in courts are often seen playing golf the very next afternoons! Even politicians make strange bedfellows!
But to be fair......I suggest that you read the senator's column in today's Marianas Variety and make your own decisions about whether or not he should be seated at the head of the hospital's oversight committee.
Oh, and while we're at it? I didn't see one local(as in Chamorro name other than Jesse Lujan and I'm sure he ain't getting paid for his articles!)reporter in the newspaper....how's that for import labor? Talk about Lee Webber being an outsider paper!!! Hello Pot, this is Mrs. Kettle speaking....or, is it the other way around, kan knever ghet that write!
