Published May 19, 2008 05:29 pm - THE PEOPLE SPEAK: Why can’t hospital have more surgeons on duty? On Mother’s Day, we took my grandson to the emergency room at Muskogee Regional Medical Center.
The ER staff was great. When advised that he needed an appendectomy, the family was asked which hospital they wanted him transported to because there were no surgeons on call on the weekends. I vaguely remembered a past article in the Phoenix about the surgeons possibly losing their license because of working too many hours. That I understand, and I respect them for their decision. The hospital — no. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that the hospital could hire at least one other surgeon. The degradation of the level of surgical availability expected at MRMC in inexcusable and insulting to area residents. Kathy McGee Checotah
