Renown is agressive, which it must be in order to survive in this economy. Non agressive hospitals are failing and closing everyday. Medical practices are voluntarily selling their practices to hospitals in order for doctors to become employees and escape the high costs of overhead. There is a voluntary side to this aquisition that needs more reporting.

The question this whole community should be asking is why hasn't the board of directors removed Jim Miller? Joe Hart, perhaps you should talk to them or at least post all their names so the community can contact them.

The real question is why hasn't the board of directors removed Jim Miller? Joe Hart have you asked any of the board members why they don't make a change in administration?

Well, I just watched the news clip. Of course Jim Miller refused to speak on camera, the board of directors met behind closed doors and the news people were sent away. This is how Washoe Medical Center/renown operates. I worked for them for over 20 years and they always put a spin on their story. They haven't had a chance to create a story yet that absolves them from guilt. They forced nurses to unionize years ago. Then, they never seriously negotiated, forcing us to strike THREE times. Many nurses were wrongfully terminated or just harassed so much, they had to quit. Much of the real story was either suppressed or the facts were skewed by Jim Miller and associates to try to keep them appearing honest. Having their own insurance companies gives Washoe Medical Center/renown just that much more control over doctors and the patients in the community. Why do you think the insurance companies were created?

Mr Miller is now treating doctors as badly as he has been treating nurses for years. Unfortunately, most nurses don't have the finances that doctors do, otherwise Washoe Medical Center/renown would have been sued successfully many years ago. Why do you think they spent millions of dollars to change their name? It was all the bad press they got while destroying nurses who stood up for patient care. I knew it was only a matter of time before the community would see that money, not patients, is all they care about. Jim Miller, may you and all the rest of Washoe Medical Center/renown management get what you deserve!

THANK YOU JIM MILLER!!! Its never been about the quality of health care in this community, it has ALWAYS been about Jim Miller and only Jim Miller, building his little kingdom for his own aggrandizement. Hopefully the light being shed on this travesty will force the little hitler into the unemployment line.
