How many lawyers were mentioned (one)
Who he represented (it wasn't Essent)
Who was suing whom (Suit, counter-suit)
But, are they really going to wiz in the Wheaties of Paris's largest employer? Heck, when Christus owned it, they did not publish a peep when they laid off over a hundred folks from Lamar Medical--despite assurances that Christus gave just two months previous to the layoff. There was nothing published when the suits were flying between Health Solutions (for profit, owned by the hospital) and the docs over the practices that were purchased and the Rabbi Trusts that were lost when they bankrupted HS. One doc had been putting all her earnings into it. Bet she didn't intend on working for free....
So now the gloves are off, one would assume. The hospital is trying to evict two entities based on a lawsuit against one. Since they are being evicted, and all the miscellaneous mis-representations and outright falsehoods that have been handed around like lobby popcorn, the radiologists are pulling out of the hospital, not the community. They are still offering all the services that they did at the hospital, but on an outpatient basis. And, it is cheaper to go there, than the hospital!
As to the million dollars that Essent is putting into the radiology department (Essent ad, Sunday in the Paris Snooze), two years ago they said that they would be putting six million in, almost immediately. Their timeline and reality have some serious disconnects.
