First let me say that I attended a nursing school in the Dallas / Fort Wort area some fifteen years ago; and, while doing clinicals and working part-time as a nurse-tech I was involved with, and employed by, Tenet Healthcare (among others). While there were some very good medical staff at the Tenet facility that I was associated with (and I'm sure there are some there now) I urge you and your loved ones - PLEASE DO NOT SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION AT A TENET HOSPITAL OR MEDICAL FACILITY.
Very simply put, most health care facilities in America are "for profit" businesses - Tenet is "for profit at the expense of your health." They are, simply put, out to make money and health care is secondary to that goal. I cannot elaborate any further here due to time and space, but, when I read that news article my heart just broke - and it was not a surprise to me that it happened at a Tenet facility. I assure you that this is not a sour grapes issue on my part; this has to do with quality nursing services and medical care. EVERYONE, PLEASE, BOYCOTT TENET! Most sincerely - Texas Guest
