Projecting competence ... used to be important.
No longer.
Today I received a mailing about a surgical educational conference at a local hospital, Jefferson.
The envelope, pre-printed stationery used by the department, had the following logo:
This envelope certainly does not inspire my confidence. We are in a bad time in medicine when hospitals cannot spell.
I cannot imagine how this was missed, other than via the hiring of the cheapest help possible.

Cheapest help possible, indeed.

I hate to make like NJ Governor Christie, but to be blunt:
First, I would like to apologize to HC Renewal readers that some who pass by here are quite puerile. The comment of mine that 'anonymous' references was made on another blog, HIStalk, #11 here.
I allow risible comments to stand here as an example of what healthcare enablers often face from the attitudes and capabilities of the facilitators, including a predilection for logical fallacy and irrationality.
I would go into the detailed differences behind a quickly typed blog comment and hospital stationery sent to thousands of physicians, but what's the point?
As Christie recently told a teacher exhibiting similar histrionic behavior to this commenter, get serious, or sit down.

Actually - maybe it wasn't a typo. Maybe it's admission of a new department really in charge of sugar coating all their announcements about excessive executive pay.
