PS> Just re-read every post in that thread you linked. Most of it was pathetic overstatements with very little fact behind it. There was almost no mention of people leaving TVRH or Leesburg for patient safety reasons. Let's also remember that TVRH is part of CFHA and is not run or operated by the Morse family. We are growing by about 100 beds (including 27 in the ED) over the next two years. Funding is getting squeezed by Medicare (our main source) but I'm sure it's the same everywhere.

What proof do you have that this was the case? Saying they were pathetic overstatements sounds pretty defensive especially if you don't work the emergency room. Does every nurse receive information on everything that goes on in the entire hospital?
