WHAT IS UVA HEALTH HIDING?
We have heard about serious issues in the Department of Surgery at the University of Virginia School of Medicine that support allegations in the 9/5/24 No Confidence Letter.
We continue to be alarmed and dismayed about everything we are hearing and we ask…
Is it true a UVA Health patient recently died at UVA Medical Center resulting in a surgeon’s credentials being suspended pending an investigation?
Is it true the patient’s records were falsely altered?
Is it true the chair of the UVA Department of Surgery was warned about quality concerns involving that surgeon at their previous place of employment?
What happened at the UVA Medical Center in the spring of 2024 that triggered a GME (Graduate Medical Education) Review?
Is it true that the chief of a critical surgical department at UVA Health is no longer allowed to interact with trainees?
What is going on at UVA Health?
We are Concerned Citizens of Charlottesville and Patients of UVA Health who are troubled by what we have heard from many UVA Health professionals over the past year.
These professionals are not only our doctors and nurses but also our friends, family and neighbors. We believe our community should value and protect its health care workers who have dedicated their lives to helping UVA patients.
A Parrhesiastes is someone who speaks the truth in a clear and honest way…
It's about the courage to speak one’s mind even when it's difficult or unpopular…to prioritize truth over social niceties or personal gain...
But speaking the truth can be dangerous. A Parrhesiastes understands this risk and is willing to face the consequences, from social disapproval to vindictive employers or even violence...
Because ultimately Parrhesiastes act out of a sense of duty.
They believe speaking the truth is necessary for the greater good and to protect the people and institution they love.
