Worked on the medical side in a subspecialty clinical and research program and can confirm that the toxic culture of lying and gaslighting junior staff and fellows exists there, as well.

Additionally, they don’t hire enough staff to adequately provide basic level of care and rely on exploiting trainee labor to keep it limping along.

It’s the worst hospital and medical education institution that I’ve been at by a long shot, and I’ve worked in public safety nets in deep red states, VAs , hospitals in towns with < 2,000 people and JH is a clear negative outlier in terms of dysfunction, chronic safety issues, and inadequate staffing.

They have multi-billion dollar revenue, a partnership with Saudi aramco, and constantly push their own reputation in advertising and media and yet they can’t even manage to keep their patient kitchen open (https://foxbaltimore.com/amp/news/local/johns-hopkins-worker-claims-kitchen-closed-after-spoiled-food-served-to-sick-patients).

Here’s hoping that the spirit spreads to the eastern Baltimore campus.
