rcr . . . it is interesting to me that you see the additions as him "building his empire." But if you or someone you love ever needed the cancer center or needed to be life flighted or needed to use any of the number of additions, you would probably be so thankful that Emporia has those resources available, which is in part because of Mr. Lambert's leadership and vision. And on the flip side, if you ever needed these services and they weren't available, you would probably be angry that Mr. Lambert hadn't worked to bring these services to Emporia. . . seems like you put him and the hospital in a no-win situation.

On Hospital CEO resigns

It seems to me that Mr. Lambert did discuss the "elephant." Dr. Barnett spoke about patient care and the relationship between doctors and administration. This article is specific about the hospital and administration's focus on patient care and how they are contantly trying to focus on it and make improvements. Previous articles have already also discussed various reasons why there can be tension between medical staff and administration/hospital.

I feel like all of the comments from the board and administration have been about the issues rather than using this opportunity to take blows at Dr. Barnett. I'm glad they have chosen to respond with integrity and professionalism rather than stooping to personal attacks.
