Auntie Charo's Soapbox

In yesterdays blog regarding the agenda on the sensational bashing of GMH and the wanting to put the hospital in a tail spin by causing various taxpayer suits on several questionable contracts made by the previous administration...my bitter half felt that I was wrong in wanting to 'get on' with our lives, thinking that I just wanted to swallow the errors made and move on with our lives now that we have Peter John and the new actors on the GMH scene.
I suppose that this appeared to be the case...in fact, if there are contracts that aren't fulfilled in any way, then the hospital should sue to get their money back, that's what they have lawyers for(I think they have two sets of lawyers at this writing). If PSA charged them $850K for security cameras that aren't installed and they're not installed, then we should have the option to cancel the order, or, have them installed at a great discount because of the length of time it took to have them installed. Again, at the direction of the lawyers.
My feelings about the contracts is that instead of them going from the offices of Dr. Mike Cruz various media outlets, perhaps he should sit down with the hospital's legal department and have a talk with them and ask what the hospital can do about fixing the problems. I don't think that we can fix the problems with sensationalizing them on the six 0'clock news on a nightly basis.
There's also the question of mediation. We've been touting mediation rather than litigation......could that help GMH and the vendor more than a taxpayer suit?
There's something terribly good going on at GMH this week....the only problem is....it's shadowed by the sensation of litigation and senators who want to run the hospital. The last senator who wanted to run the hospital nearly ran it into the ground. She thought she was doing a good job...in fact, all she did was rabble rouse....things actually got better after she took her fingers out of the pie!
This week, let's sensationalize the fact that several doctors and nurses from Modesto have come to Guam to do surgery on hearts and that our indigent have the opportunity for health without leaving their family behind and that it won't cost them a penny. Let's celebrate Dr. Noel Concepcion's team and their compassion and generosity. Let's let that be the breaking new this evening! That's a Guam first! Biba Guam! Biba Dr. Concepcion!
