On Influential Janesville teacher dies unexpectedly

Thank you jvilletech. That is exactly what I was hoping to share. Even under the best of circumstances (the best doctors, the latest technology and the most ideal of conditions), the practice of medicine still comes down to each patient being unique. This means any procedure is not completely routine, and complications can and do occur - for every type of procedure and at any hospital. Thankfully, advances in health care have decreased the chances of complications, but risks are still there.

My sympathies are with Mr. Cain's family, especially as we enter the holiday season. I've lost loved ones during the holidays and I know how difficult it is to face this time of family and cheer without someone you care for. My thoughts are with them.

My sympathies to the family, and as KateM mentioned, I am hoping people use this blog as a place to honor Mr. Cain's life, rather than speculate on his death.

As a Mercy Partner (and a patient to several of the Mercy Physicians), I'm proud of the work we do and the patients we serve, and many times we employees grieve right along with the families when we lose one of our patients.

I would ask you all to remember that someone just passed away. A family just lost someone important to them. Please focus on that and if you have a problem with Mercy, please contact Mercy directly.

On Janesville Mercy Hospital ready for robotic surgery

I'm a Mercy employee, and I sometimes get discouraged when I read these articles on via the internet and see the feedback.

Although I may not agree with everything done by my employer, I do see the bigger picture and realize Mercy is making moves to stay a viable health care institution, and business.

When Mercy invests in new medical technology or expands a building, it is to offer better care for our current and future patients. It helps to keep our roots in this community and to guarantee jobs for the future, too!

Among complaints, I often see mentions of Madison offering better or more up-to-date services compared to Mercy. Yet when Mercy attempts to bring that technology or those services closer to home, the complaints turn to what services Mercy has had to close. Nobody notices that the Madison hospitals they are glorifying don't offer those closed services either.

I'm curious as to where those complainers are, or where they have been, when Mercy looks, or has looked, to raise money for the homeless shelter or other services in which they may not be reimbursed. Have they given?

Yes, this community to has many people who need additional assistance, and by growing and expanding our services and technology, we continue to find ways to generate revenue so we can turn around and offer additional help to those who need it.

I'm proud to work at Mercy and to serve Janesville, and although I know we can't please everyone all the time, I do hope our community members will support us and our efforts to best serve them. We have a lot of compassionate, wonderful people working here, and most of us, want to offer you the best experience possible when you need our help.
