On Nurse called out of surgery and laid off

Everyone has a comment about the way Dean is out for only the money. Do any of you bloggers work at Dean? Probably not, so how can you judge what goes on within our system. Dean has been a very good employer for the past 11 years to me. In today's economy, we are lucky to still have jobs. There is always going to be someone who isn't happy about the way that Dean or Mercy handles their care. There will always be room for improvement. So instead of blogging about it here, why don't you voice your concerns with your doctor or health care providers. If that doesn't work, then go to your state representatives. Before judging the situation, we should know ALL the facts. I am sure that the whole situation is not explained correctly. As stated in the State Journal this am, the patient is doing fine and was taken care of by other health staff while the nurse was being talked to. It was a very stressful time for ALL employees, including managers and administation.
On Some say new hospital will bring pain, not relief

Mr Bea has had nothing good to say about Dean's new hospital and that is not suprising. Competition is always going to be there. I am sure that when Woodman's was the only grocery store in Janesville, they did not want to see anymore stores open either, but it has happened and everyone has accepted this. He made a comment relating to the GM transfer from DeanCare to MercyCare. When that change was made, did anyone bother to ask the actual patients/employees of GM how they felt about the move from Dean to Mercy. I am a VERY happy employee of Dean and when working with the patients, they were not happy about the GM transfer of insurance. It wasn't the employees of GM that wanted this change, it was the people in the office who chose for their employees. They made the choice because the package was cheaper. Is cheaper always better healthcare? STOP all this nonsense! There are always going to be people who like Dean better than Mercy and Mercy better than Dean. I for one am happy about the different choices for my own healthcare. If I am dying or in need of emergency care, I don't care where you take me as long as the healthcare facility saves my life if possible and does the best to it's ability. Plus put the patient and their families first. That's the most important thing. Let's get over this and move on.
On New hospital planned in Janesville

I am tired of all these negative comments about Dean and Mercy. This should not be a time to start a "war" between companies. Everyone has a different "bad/good" story about each company. I have been an employee of both companies and each one has it's pros and cons. Let's focus on the job opportunities it can bring to this area with the expansion of both companies. Janesville needs more jobs and better healthcare choices for each individual and their families. An individual makes their own decisions and choices. We are ALL human and can make errors. We have to believe in ourselves to know what is right and how to manage our own healthcare.

Medman86---Let's get the story straight before posting....The plastic surgeons that are now performing services at Janesville have been with the Dean Health System since 2001. They are "new" to Janesville because they have never performed services here but are not "new" to the Dean Health System. Unless you were a staff member, doctor or patient in that situation then the whole story will never be known. STOP assuming the worst. Plus, St. Mary's Hospital is still planning on building the hospital and Dean Health Systems is still planning on building a new clinic. Remember one thing...if the situation was reversed and it was yourself in the news, would you want the community to judge first and ask questions later. Try that next time.
