They chose to employ the surgeon with the highest malpractice rate in the country., then disciplined any colleague who spoke up about him. My dad is dead now because of this man.

I’m so sorry, Exeter Hospital killed my mother, they also employ people they don’t bother background checking. One of their employees gave like 100 people hepatitis because he was shooting up their drugs and then shooting them up with saline.

That was a travel nurse who did that. Hospitals doesn’t do background checks for travelers, it’s the agencies that hire them that do. Also, background checks don’t help if you’ve never been caught

He had been caught and fired from multiple hospitals for a drug diversion. I’m not sure how much traveling he was doing he was at Exeter for a while.

He was a traveler. The previous hospitals where he worked did not report his behavior. They had no way of knowing. Hate to break it to you but if someone is intent on doing harm they figure out how to do it. Regardless of what safeguards we put in place

He wasn’t a radiology tech. I have close intimate knowledge. This article is full of non truths. But what is the point of the article? It doesn’t in any way say they the hospital could have known. His history wasn’t reported. Not sure what else there is to say.

It's from the department of Justice.

I remember that Hepatitis male nurse… we had an issue with Exeter ER and my daughter. They are not set up to treat pediatric emergencies. I’m so sorry for your loss

They do background checks. Background checks don’t help if previous employers don’t report behavior problems.

He used to beat his girlfriend, who's also mentally ill, but a good person.

You aren't wrong. I work in healthcare and the C (corporate) suites have fucking ruined medicine. I'm burnt out from working weekend shifts seeing 60 patients in the waiting room who need care but no place to see and treat them because the ED is operating at half capacity because admin wouldn't authorize overtime for our nurses so we had to close half the department from Friday night to Monday morning. Then these same assholes who make these penny wise dollar foolish decisions give themselves multimillion dollar bonuses for their brave financial stewardship. I watched these same clowns call security to escort them out of the hospital because it leaked that they took the first batch of covid vaccines for themselves and left ER docs and ICU nurses waiting another two weeks for restock during peak covid. So I get the sentiment that modern day healthcare is run by used car salesmen who pretend to be sanctimonious stewards of medicine who only care about patient outcomes while also emailing their front line staff nastygrams that we are admitting too many sick people who don't have health insurance.
But CMC has its own specific reputation of all that plus having an incompetent cardiothoracic surgeon who has a body count which rivals most serial killers and the hospital, according to the Boston Globes spotlight research, allegedly buried all this as he was an attractive face of their organization and CT surgeons bring in bags and bags of cash in billable procedures. There are allegations that CMC failed to report surgical errors to the NH board of medicine as required by law. I wouldn't be surprised if this guy gets his own season on Dr. Death.

Holy shit, next you're gonna tell me my insurance company doesn't actually want to help me afford my medical treatment.

Not all of them, as I recently learned. The hospital in Bar Harbor, ME, is a nonprofit.
