I have tried for two and a half years to pull together a therapy department and it just cant be done in this setting. My boss the CEO was having an affair with the VP of Nursing and she was my biggest problem so you can imagine nothing I wanted to do was ever supported by him if she went against it. Either way I tried for a long time to fix the problems in my department with little success and no administrative support. I realized that it was not me with the problem and turned in a thirty day notice. I stood for the truth and I will continue to do so in my next job even if it means quiting that one too, if they do not abide by the rules and regulations I will not stand to the side and let them run over me and it feels good. Medicare rules and my state practice act that is. Fraud and abuse is all over out there, I just refuse to be a part of it. Just thought I would share this because it is something I have wanted to do for a long time, stand up without fear that is.
 
John,

The truth will set you free. Standing up for what is right and just is never the wrong thing to do. Have you considered filing a complaint with the proper state ethics board for your industry?

Glad you feel good about it. Hope you are able to find a fulfilling job/occupation soon. I was thinking about you at work today and hoping you were doing OK.

Take care friend. You are in my thoughts.

Lots of love,

John
 
John,

It is a good feeling. I have been fighting a similar battle. I do not know my end result yet but I am looking forward to it whatever it might be.

Best of Luck
 
John,

I too support you greatly for standing up to them.
The strongest tool in life is truth, nobody likes it though.

Take the time to promote your book,

John - well done that was a brave step to take. I wish you luck in finding employment that is truly fulfilling!

Best wishes ..Rik
 
I have thought about going to Medicare regarding the issues but that is a big step, fear would set in due to thinking the entire system is corrupt and I would be the one left holding nothing, never to work again. Even though I know that is not right and I should report it I find myself fighting the same feelings I had as a child, telling the police woman about my molestation, the only reason I did that is because my mother was with me and suggested that we talk to the police.

Thanks guys,
 
John,

I think I shared with you that my wife has been through similar circumstances at the medical facility she was employed by. Although she was not directly involved with the issues at hand, once Medicare got a whiff of what was happening there, the FBI was crawling all over the place like stink on s***.

I don't think you have any worries in regards to filing a report. It might be advisable to consult a lawyer prior to doing so.

However, please understand that whatever you decide to do in regard to this, you have our care and support here on the DB.

Lots of love,

John

PS You may also want to talk to Darrel aka Derdlecar regarding these issues. I think he may also have some experience with them.
 
John,

Fraud and abuse is all over out there, I just refuse to be a part of it.

Bravo! We constantly hear people saying things like, "Oh, but isn't it the law that....?" Well, the law is only as good as the people who will stand up for it against fraud, graft, abuse, incompetence, and just plain stupidity.

We need a lot more people like you out there John. I wish you all the luck in the world.

Much love,
Larry
 
Thanks guys, let me ask a question.

What is it that makes me feel like I will not be trusted if I do report it to the authorities, damn I just got it. I feel like if I tell no one will believe me, just like when I went to the police for the abuse. What a revelation, I got it, that is why I am having such a hard time standing up for myself. No one believed that the man I told on was capable of molesting boys, they let him get away with it for two more years until he finally got busted. I was playing little league and some of the guys starting talking about him and said he had done it to others, I told my mother that night and she called to warn the parents of two boys sleeping over at his house that night. He molested both of them and that put him away.

So for two years I walked around thinking everyone thought I made it up.

I am still fearful that others will think that it is not true when it is.

Most people hate truth, Quote from Reality "The strongest tool in life is truth, nobody likes it though," and that is why I fear going to the authorities.

Man what a great day of learning and you guys helped me, that means a lot.

Thanks everyone,
 
:)

Any time, Brother.
 
John,

That's another one we carry over from childhood. We don't SEE this happening to other boys, and of course no one talks about it. And the guy doing it is often so "respectable". And a frightened ashamed kid quickly becomes ready to believe almost anything. The man who abused me, a Scout and church leader, actually had me believing that if I "told on him" no one would believe that HE could do such a thing, and the Session of the church would vote and send me to hell.

Since we didn't get help as boys, a lot of those feelings just carry on to adulthood, and, as your case shows, in areas other than abuse. This is what makes your stand all the more courageous.

Much love,
Larry
 
Thanks Larry, the all the more courageous part is something I needed to hear, my courage is coming up and I feel like "looking evil in the face and screaming, give it your best shot, give it all you have, I will still be standing here fighting back. That came from some movie, but I feel like that right now.

Thanks again
