President Obama’s bold first moves on Guantánamo Bay and military commissions have been met by brazen campaigns of misinformation from those who want to retain disastrous Bush administration policies.

Let’s see, better outcomes - not at all my experience with Wellmont from day 1.

Fewer complications - can’t remember that one either. Still have a hard time believing his stomach ended up about a foot from where it was supposed to be.

Less Post-Op bleeding - My father bled for fifteen hours at Wellmont Holston Valley Medical Center. When my mother severely cut her index finger to the bone I bypassed two Wellmont facilities. Went to Norton Community Hospital - they wanted to know why she had to wait 20 minutes to see a doctor !

Higher survival rates - My father survived ten months. He was a living dead man and was begging for a pistol to end his miserable existence.

Lower infection rates ? They sent him into this community so infected he was almost radioactive. MRSA and VRE. Yet we just can’t seem to figure out how people who have never been in a hospital or a nursing home and they have gotten MRSA.

Shorter stays ?

Wish even one of their accolades had happened, he walked into Wellmont Holston Valley Medical Center ( a top 100 hospital in America ) and came home on a gurney after they cut his legs off.

This is one of their misleading, fraudulent and false advertisements. This one has run a few times during the Super Bowl. It’s disgusting ! It’s dangerous for our public safety and health. Apparently and actually what you see here on my blog is ‘acceptable’ standards of care according to Virginia and Tennesee government agencies plus Wellmont’s definition of ‘acceptable’ standards of care.
