Washington Hospital’s Board is the most incompetent rubber stamp of the very fat salary of Farber, the CEO.
It is time to boycott this hospital.

My son nearly died at Washington due to their negligence and incompetence and I have an apology letter to prove it. They are a poor facility and now no longer support the community in their fight with Blue Cross – so why, exactly, do my tax dollars go to support this substandard institution? I ALWAYS go to Palo Alto Medical or Stanford, I would NEVER go to Washington unless there was no other option.

“Washington was charging his private insurer $157 for an ice pack.” Now you know how they can afford Farber’s salary.

Did he at least get a bottle of Diva Vodka with the ice pack?

Washigton Hospital is suppose to be a community hospital, not a club where medical proffesionals are lining there pockets at our expense.
How do we, as a community take back our hospital?
Never thought I would say, I am glad to be a member of Kaiser!

Maybe if the Washington Hospital Healthcare System wasn’t paying their CEO over $800K a year, they could “afford” to charge private insurance companies less.

Washington is a terrible hospital anyhow – unless I was in desperate need of immediate medical attention, I would not allow myself or any family members to be admitted there.
