And The Beat Goes On

Reports filtering in from several area physicians' offices confirm the Department of Justice is still processing information and still asking questions. Some say they are near to "finishing up," and that it won't be too much longer. I'm not sure what that means.

What is definitely still going on is DMH administration's blatant disregard for their employees. Seasoned employees continue to leave in droves, citing better pay at other area hospitals. Meanwhile, current employees are barely able to afford their health insurance, and benefits are still getting cut.

I wonder how much that two page propaganda piece in the DMH Herald & Review cost on Sunday? Or how much the billboards are costing DMH? Are these advertising schemes really necessary to assure patient flow? or is it a "payback" for the H&R not reporting on the FBI investigation and related Smithmier scandals? Maybe if DMH spent more money on employees rather than advertising they would have more quality employees (and better benefits for them!)

We're all waiting, Department of Justice. Anytime is okay with us.
