According to the NC Secretary of State, SanStone Management LLC, was created on February 24, 2014. Does that mean that SanStone Health and Rehabilitation, is now managed by SanStone Management? How many ways can you take money from a business ? Christopher Sprenger and Mike Deloach seem to be experts, both are managing employees at all the SanStone properties. Now they are being managed by themselves, and I'm sure they are getting paid a management fee. I wonder if that will affect their pay as managing employees? Does SanStone need both managing employees, being managed by themselves?
It looks like they have been to the Larry Joe Russell school of taking all the money you can from your business without actually having to do anything for it. Dr. Russell is a master at getting paid for doing nothing. He bills patients for visits that he doesn't make. He diagnoses patients with illnesses, and then provides them with rental equipment to treat the fake illness. All this under the watchful eye of the ever competent NC Medical Board.
The NC Medical Board, NCDHHS, NC Board of Nursing and the CMS are supposed to be "regulating" the medical community. I know that I have been focused on nursing homes, that's where it all started for me. It is obviously a problem across the medical community. Nurses are the ones that really know what's going on in the hospitals and doctors offices. They are not necessarily bad people, they just know if they tell what actually happens, they don't work.
If you have to go to the doctor, you better pray that the nurse keeps the doctor from killing you. I've seen jokes on Facebook about this, people think it's funny. Next time you have to go to the doctor, are you going to know if you are getting the right treatment for your illness? Do you trust the doctor, just because he has a piece of paper on the wall and a white coat? Is there anything in the office that shows the doctors integrity? Does the doctor own the pharmacy, that you will get that $35.00 prescription from? Unless you have time to research who owns what, you will never know.
I was in the hospital two times last year, both times, I had to call the doctors attention to something, that could have been harmful. One of the times, I was on a medication, that should have been discontinued two weeks before. The list of current medications was in the file, the doctor just didn't take the time to look. The person calling from the hospital the day before the procedure, noticed what the doctor should have. The second time I was going for a test, the test involved injection of iodine into my spine. The doctor was on the ball, he saw the allergy and prescribed a preventive drug, good job! The morning of the test, I showed up at Mission Hospital, and as the nurse went over my chart, she discovered that I was on a medication, that should have been held for at least two days. They sent me home and rescheduled the test for another day. They were nice enough to give me a $20.00 gas card for my trouble.
This is an issue that should scare almost everyone who goes to the doctor. It is important to point out that none of these involved my regular doctor, actually an FNP. I have never had a problem with the care I receive form my provider. What happens when you go to a specialist, does your doctor go with you to make sure they don't make a mistake?
The system is so flawed, that you are literally at the mercy of the doctors. If they make a mistake, no one is going to come forward and admit it. How many people are taking medications they should not be taking, simply because the doctor is playing golf with the pharmacy rep? How many unnecessary procedures are being done, just so the doctor can pay for that little cabin he bought in Gatlinburg?
Anyone who is reading this, I would guess, has had similar experiences. We are among the lucky ones, their mistakes didn't kill us. What about the ones who weren't so lucky, did anyone ask why they died? Did the Medical Board ask the doctor what happened? This is a reality, that we have to face in todays society. Good luck!
