As an employee of Newman Regional Health, I am appalled that Dr. Barnett would think the hospital thinks physicians are a "necessary evil." This hospital bends over backwards for our physicians. We purchase almost any equipment they ask for, they eat free in our cafeteria, they receive appreciation gifts, etc. We also invite them to participate on committees for our continued efforts in improving patient care. As far as physicians leaving our community, many of the newer physicians that have come to Emporia are here to serve their time in a rural setting necessary to forgive their school loans. They then move on to be closer to family, larger institutions, etc. I believe it has very little to do with unhappiness with the hospital. Dr. Barnett has never practiced anywhere besides Emporia and has no idea how physician relations are with other hospitals. I would suspect that like many of our nurses do when they leave, that he would find that the grass is not greener on the other side. Many times these nurses return here to tell us how wonderful things are at Newman Hospital! I believe that our nurses do the best they can to provide the best patient care possible for our patients. Why else would one become a nurse with the hard work and low wages?
