Emergency Meeting!
Emergency Meeting!
Dear King/Drew Supporter and Concerned Citizen:
It is urgent that we meet!! The coalition has already had an impact on the future of King/Drew Medical Center and our community. But much of the work we’ve done and accomplishments we’ve made are being threatened.
The L.A. County Director of Health Services is recommending that KDMC be re-structured as a non-trauma community hospital with less in-patient services such as obstetrics and pediatrics. We are meeting:
Saturday, August 13, at 11:00 a.m.
WLCAC Bernice Watkins Vision Complex
10957 S. Central Avenue ~ Arrive early only street parking is available
Following Saturday’s meeting, (where we develop strategies and plans to deal with this outrageous proposal), we will confront L. A. County’s, Health Director, Dr. Garthwaite and Board of Supervisors:
Tuesday, August 16th, at 10:00 a.m.
L.A. County Board of Supervisors Meeting
Kenneth Hahn Hall of Administration
500 W. Temple Street
In addition to your commitment to be there, I would like each of you to talk with your neighbors, co-workers, family and friends in the next few days and bring them with you to the meeting on Saturday.
Let us continue to work together to save King/Drew!
The say yes to children network thanks you in advance

What a mess! What are the Supes to do?
Mayor Sam
I finally believe you, you are a Republican and don't ask me how I know. I prefer not to tell. Why did you support Villaraigosa? He is a total left winger and socialist nut, how did you base your decision as a right choice for you?
By the way, I like your glasses. Too bad your not single, I would have loved to have a drink with you sometime. You must be around my age-early 30's or so. Do you have Italian ancestry?
You know what is interesting? You are outsiders drooling at the circus act we are providing you by diving los angeles politics. I will not out you bcuz i enjoy this blog too much. If I out you, who knows what may happen to this blog and I want to keep it as is.
For now let's just thank me for not divulging.
when will the Supes realize that their Health Director is inept and unable to lead or manage on a daily basis, let alone handle a major crisis like the one at MLK hospital?
His latest plan is lame-brained at best. Closing services to kids and pregnant women? How does that make the hospital safer? Have you ever heard this Director interviewed? All he does is whine and weaze.
All the Supes needs to be recalled for putting their faith in such a pathetic loser.
It is Parke Skelton you are wrong, it is Parke Skelton
Mayor Sam,
I stand corrected on my post dated
(August 11, 2005 1:20 AM) please delete the word outsiders for future reading.
CYBERLADYY-Mayor Sam is Parke Skelton disguising as a Republican
They need to close Killer King. ITs a waste of taxpayers dollars. Sure I agree we need a hospital there, but sometimes you have to hit your delete key instead of your backspace key. They need to close it, let the inept administrators/staff run like roaches, and then rehire and rebuild from scratch.

If the Supes were civil service employees, or if they worked for a private health care concern, they would have been out on their asses years ago! Garthwaite the Health Director is entirely capable of running the Health Dept., but his leadership is countermanded at every turn by Molina who gets her (emotional) way every time because she screams so shrilly that the other supes give in just to shut her up, and by Burke, who is incapable of making a decision and standing by her non-existent beliefs. Let the Helath Dept. run the hospital and let the supes do what they do so very well...Nothing!
I have sat at Harbor General Hospital, in the waiting room, for 34 hours, with a friend, who almost died from complications of diabetes because they were too busy to see him. I have worked at USC county hospital and witnessed horrific things, similar to what happened at K-Harbor. I have seen it across the country, in county, city and federal hospitals. The problem is not King, as you all know, it's the system that you have put in place, that has destroyed the dedication and morale of the health care professionals, that has overburdened the doctors to save your pathetic system dollars that should be going towards proper staffing and the training given to private employees in the private sector. If this had not been caught on tape there would be no discussions. I worked at King as a physician 20 years ago and people died just as they will die in the future. This hullabaloo is to pass the keys to Harbor, a white hospital, who will get a pass for all of the deaths that will still occur in the King emergency room. No one cares and now that lack of caring, thanks to government policy, has infected the health care profession. There is no compassion in socialism and if this perverted and ignorant society has not learned that from history than it will never learn and will continue to pass the buck and shrug the blame. From the hospital staff, to the workers, to the police to the bystanders, the callousness of what happened to Rodriquez is a reflection of poor infrastructure and typical government incompetence. If one doctor would have been called to the area, the patient would have been taken to surgery and possibly saved. It is that simple. Many of the ER ancillary staff at King has always been calloused and mean spirited. They will only change when forced to do so and with hand slaps that ain't happening anytime soom. Had this been a little white girl or a white woman, a Nifong action would be occuring right about now. Since the whole of the government is incompetent, nothing has changed or will change. The buck will be passed, the blame shifted and the beat will go on. How pathetic is that?
Health is really wealth, My friend Niny asked me to visit Couponalbum.com as here so many health related coupons & deals are available...from many store like Gaiam, Vitacost!!!
