When I worked in security at Oregon Health Sciences University, I saw similar stuff going on at the Portland Veteran's Administration Hospital. And it turns out that the head of the veteran's hospitals is getting reamed by congress over it thanks to Walter Reid. VA is not typical of public hospitals (and I feel sorry for anybody ignorant enough to think they are). OHSU is run by the state, and it's a world-class research hospital. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
