I first want to thank Dr. Anderson for his favorable comments about the care at NRH. I am not sure where Dr. Barnett is coming from but I will not sweep his remarks under the table as if there is something that needs to change, then lets change it. Newmans has certainly not been a hospital to stand for inferior care. I think they are very pro active when then see a problem. Recently they initiated a bedside medication device that ensures the patient gets the right medication as each pill or IV is scanned after scanning the patients bracelet. It takes a little longer but it ensures safe administration of medication. I have read the comments about the hospital nurses. I have been a nurse at newmans for 20 years and I welcome constructive criticism. I must say when I found that there were so many negative remarks, I was a surprized. I have listened extra careful to my patients since then and they have been very complimentary about the care they are receiving. I can not speak to the comments about nurses who are not giveing there all but I do want to assure you there are many nurses who would want you to know they care and they hurt beyond imagination when something does not go well. I think if I have learned anything from all the comments it is that not enough nurses have said," I for one care". If I have the pleasure of careing for any of you than I hope you will see this in me. Believe me, I am listening to my patients. God Bless. Feel free to speak up for change.

Thanks Dr, Joe for all of the kind things you said about Newmans. I will miss seeing you at the hospital but can appreciate the demands that you have had on you in the many years you have served as a great surgeon. Good luck. I hope to see you around.
