Mish Mash

Whew! It appears I kicked a bees nest in another blog. Seems others are not so tolerant of differing opinions and have abundant amounts of anger just waiting to spill out. Add to this that like individuals with anger issues seem to group together. So be it I guess.

Pennock Hospital is still at it. Thier Environmental Services supervisor, Mike Strimback, demoted a competent person from his old position of lead maintenance man and placed in his spot his hunting buddy instead. This buddy has a well known reputation of doing nothing and arguing that for hours. I bet it won't be long before they are back to forging maintenance documents just like they were under Mike's time in that position. watch out for JACHO Mike. They will not be so forgiving as the board of Pennock.

And Pennock was awarded something for being in the "top one hundred small hospitals" but won't release the criteria or any names of other hospitals concidered for the award. I am betting that not more than a hundred or so hospitals filled the slot thereby ensuring Pennock an award. Yes the facility is good, most of the medical personel are great, but management there is a major reason Pennock will never be a "Metro" or a "Spectrum". Why is it the hospital had to hire a "PR" man? Can not their reputation stand on it's own?

The Wymer's are back at it. Seems Ms. Wymer has a warrant for her arrest again. I just happen to have stumbled on to it. I am not sure what it is for at this point but I do know it exists. Seems our court system is going to spend some more time dealing with this bunch.

Wal Mart is making a push to build a super Wal Mart behind Family tree Medical. Many are lining up against it and many are lining up for it. I am not sure there is much anyone can do to stop it if the waltons want to build it. The best that can be hoped for is that Walmart will pay for all of the raod improvements and other extra costs resulting from thier building in our county. I can't believe they don't get enough business from us from thier surrounding stores though. I bet thier other strores will lose business to this one if it is built. I can't see how that will improve thier "bottom line".

Have a great week!
