Its my opinion, and my opinion only (none of my postings are reflections of TMH, just my thoughts and feelings), but if I know George, he did it for us, the employees, and for the preservation of the hospital itself. He didn't do anything wrong, but he has now taken one for the team. That is an honorable thing to do, and at times, a very difficult thing to do as well. I am sure this has been well thought out and not a kneejerk reaction to a hundred (out of 11,000 that we serve) unhappy people in the public, the monkey just would not let go.
If one only knew the truth, and not a bunch of junk in the newspaper, this would never have happened and we would be going on with normal, fun, rewarding hospital life.
Like I said above, those who brought this on have struck a mighty blow to morale. I have been on the phone with many others associated with this community's healthcare, and we are not happy. Hope someone is though.

What a tragedy this is, downright shameful. This hospital has come a long way with George at the helm and was headed in a very positive direction. I can't imagine if our prior leadership was still at the wheel, we would STILL be in a 65 year old building, we would STILL be going to YVMC to have babies and we would STILL be stuck in the same rut we were for the first 17 years I worked there. The place was so much better when George took over, it was a big reason for my return, progressive leadership, some just can't handle that I guess.
A few people think they know what goes on up here but in reality they have absolutely no clue!!!! Why is the CDP not talking to some of us that have been here for so long? Why do they not want our opinions too? Shoot, in Surgery between three of us we have well over 75 years at TMH, surely there must be something wrong with that, but not story material I guess.
This IS a witch-hunt and now it has resulted in the departure of our leader, which George very much is, a leader. I hope those who started all of this are satisfied, you all have just struck a mighty blow to the morale of your community hospital.
As much as I do not agree, I will respect Georges decision, he has always done such good for this hospital and community, he and his fennel ice cream will be missed.
Good luck George, you were a good leader and friend.

We need to put out a total ban on sparklers.
Like guns and those who abuse them, you can't fix stupid.

Can't even take a fellow collegue out for lunch on her birthday, truly sad some view it as a big conspiracy.
Welcome to NitPick Colorado, better mind yourself or you will end up on the front page.

I have worked an on call position for 22 years, including many holidays on call, I know all about being taken away from important events.
I guess I didn't look at it from the angle you are talking about, but, those who were “forced” to work can always walk away and get a different job. Don't want to walk away? Then do what you are asked to do, it's that simple. I never said I supported it, I just said that with the festivities over, what else is there to do?
Personally I just don't think Thanksgiving is viewed like it used to be, it's just a day off and a day to eat a lot of food, tradition is slowly dying out in this country.
I remember when Craig rolled up the carpet and locked the town when a holiday rolled around. That was then, this is now….welcome to the 21st century.

DavidMoore (David Moore) says…

How about just a simple yes or no? Are you capable of that?
I am thankful for my healthy daughter, everyone I know and am close to, and, thankful for everything I have. I cooked for those on call and with nowhere else to go, I am thankful that we could get together and not be alone for the holiday.
However, after the turkey is eaten, naps are taken and leftovers stowed away, what else is there? We gathered, we ate, we thanked…..It's over!!
I don't really care one way or the other about Black….whenever it is, I never went before but I thought it would be a fun and mildly entertaining way to spend an otherwise boring evening, plus, I walked away with some great stuff and my credit card did not melt in the scanner.
Don't like it or don't think it is right, stay home and watch Charlie Browns Thanksgiving with the family…nobody is forcing anyone to attend.
Those that showed up were having a good time, some were being grabby yet polite(nothing like the YouTube brawls over bath towels), and I met and visited with people I have not seen in a long time, everyone was smiling. On top of that, there were hundreds of people out for it, more than I have ever seen before in any of those places, never have I seen K-Mart parking lot full of cars….never.
Pretty good evidence that with 4 hours left in the official holiday, Thanksgiving was pretty much over.
This event was 10 days ago, we have another holiday to plan and look forward to, why must you continue to bring this up???

See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil,……….have no fun!!!
I went for the first time ever to the Thursday night sales at Wal-Mart, took my 12 year old, we had a blast and came away with some great stuff at ridiculously low prices. Everyone was calm and polite, nothing like what you see in the news….fighting over towels.
Can't understand why anyone would be disgusted by this new tradition.

DavidMoore (David Moore) says…

Unfortunately the poll does not allow you to simply say “no, I don't approve”, or “yes, I want to secede”, it's just more jabs at Obama (no, I did not vote for him, nor Romney). I don't approve secession at all, as oldman1 said, it's crazy. I am also not in approval of Hayden wanting to become part of Moffat County, just as crazy.
Time to just pull up your twisted panties and get on with life, quit whining and try to make the best of it. You are going to change nothing with this sort of idiotic “I don't want to play anymore, I'm leaving” attitude, it's childish and it makes me embarrassed to be a native Coloradoan. Grow up!!!!.

DavidMoore (David Moore) says…

Agreed, on so many levels.

Smalltowner,
I was “shamelessly??” responding to questions posed by tbarrie in a post above, nothing else. I am not in the advertising department, but when I know something that others don't, I feel a need to correct it. Sorry if I offended you in some way.
Have a nice weekend.
