More Bad News
Los Angeles County is planning to cut
800 jobs from its hospitals within the month. Hardest hit will be King-Drew Medical Center (one of the county hospitals), which will lose 79 physicians and 152 nurses. (Note: link is time sensitive.)
The hospital staff is concerned about the effect the cuts will have on its pediatric and obstetric programs. It also has an excellent trauma center; I can't help wondering what's going to happen to that.
