I have been very disappointed with the KP system. I have multiple health issues that they don’t seem to have any knowledge about including nutrition (including diabetes, gut issues, and nervous system disorders. I have basically been teaching myself about these issues using sites light UCSF, Stanford, etc. and can’t understand how so much information is available within a hundred mile radius, not to mention having a computer right next to you, and how far behind the medical field is in dealing with these issues. It took me a long time to figure out that I probably know more about these things than most of my drs. Know. I’m not being arrogant; just stating the facts. I would hope that you will become part of the solution rather than more of the problem. These drs. should be going to ongoing seminars and incorporating new knowledge all the time. I was a teacher in my last life and we always went to seminars and incorporated new ideas into teaching; I don’t see that at Kaiser at all!
Have you planned for open windows with screens for medical conference rooms ? does safety increase with high ceilings ?
