Hud and his bud--3/22

Medical Staff was a doozie. Knife fight and all. But, we all know about the guy that brings a knife to a gun-fight...he loses.

One of the things that earmarks a loser is a lie. RRVR had a contract for service: They were not paid by the hospital. Instead, the hospital gave them exclusivity for the reading, and billing, in return, the group provided coverage--weekends included, but far beyond that...as demonstrated by the absence of such, now. When the hospital was in breach of contract, RRVR agreed to stay without a contract, hoping against hope that things would improve. But, that begs the question: Who ended up with the $100,000 per month that they were supposed to have received from E$$ent??? E$$ent is, after all, loaded with bean counters....and bean counters never lie...right!

J.R. led the charge before, happily participating in the "big lie", but since the radiologists' distain for him was plain, that was a given, merely a payback of sorts. He was certainly a prime example of the Peter Principle. As the link references, there is no going back, so he was setup for failure. He might have been competent in one or two areas, his only mistake being that of accepting the promotions as they were lumped on.

But, that typifies this organization, and the one that Hud left. Increase the areas of responsibility and place marginally qualified individuals in supervisory positions. Not necessarily Administration, but directors with only an associates. They have a tendency not to rock the boat, and will never question their marching orders. Maybe that's why the BDU boogie goes on. Not for teamwork, but for subservience.
