Commissioner Mike French did reply to an email and clarified that he is required to sit on the board of OlyCap. The requirement comes from a resolution that he signed in January. Essentially, "I'm required to serve on the board because I require myself." See the full exchange in yesterday's comment section."
Here is today's email to the three commissioners and Dr. Berry:
Dear Commissioners and Dr. Berry,
You were sent an email indicating that xylazine (“tranq”) was likely already showing up in Clallam County. Dr. Berry acknowledged that. But the public didn’t hear anything about it for roughly six weeks—and when it finally did come out, it was through the Sheriff’s Office, not Public Health.
Isn’t notifying the public about emerging drug threats like this a core responsibility of Public Health?
Why the delay, and why did it fall to law enforcement to get that information out instead of your department?
With how quickly the drug supply is changing, getting that information out early matters. People are making real-time decisions that affect their safety.
I've had two ER visits to OMC and was shocked on the first visit after cleaning and sutures in my hand the doctor came in to tell me the good news that I could get some oxycodone for the pain!
I had to tell him "no thanks, I'll see how the pain levels are first". 7 years ago when the MAT clinic was looking for patients to start the place right ...
The second time was like a torture chamber and I'll leave it there. Two doctors to do a small nail extraction taking 45 minutes each. Ouch and swollen for 5 weeks.
Thanks for the article Jeff and Doggers. I wish you all a great day...
When doctors come back to this area because they grew up here hoping to help change things for our community, they have now left because they received road blocks I’m sure because people wouldn’t change their ways.
Just like our county, we need to drain the swamp as people say in DC.
There was a doctor in our area that went back to learn administration so that they could help but they weren’t even looked at by the board.
I’ve had nothing but bad experiences at that hospital, I could write a book on it. Misdiagnosed life killing disease, if it wasn’t for me fighting for my late husband his life would have ended long time ago, but by persistence I got him to Swedish who saved his life and he was able to live another 6 years.
I to have worked in small local hospitals and managed a clinic, this place is a joke. I’ve filled out surveys but not once did anyone contact me about it or were concerned
Well, that wonderful in term CEO that they decided to stick in there was known for killing another hospital in another state so why in the hell would you hire this guy over here? And his salary is obnoxious! But yet they need more money didn’t they just ask for more money for that atrocity of a library? Dr. Barry don’t even get me started on her when you know something that could be this catastrophic to a whole county people need to be informed quickly. I am a retired surgical nurse so this is not the first time I have seen this in my career.
Martin Luther King Jr. Hospital in California was one such hospital. They were able to turn it around, however, but it took time. They actually got in a CEO that turned the place around, but you have to hire the right people for the job.
I have moved over to Jefferson County because my doctor left OMC to go over there and I can’t really do without him. He saved my life. Honestly, I wouldn’t take my dog to OMC
OMC/OMP could start by tossing its management -- and I don’t mean the CEO or his office. I’m talking about the numlocks who worked in Registration and were suddenly promoted to management roles with no clinical background at all. The entire HR Department has to go so the organization can get serious about hiring the most talented people instead of favoring those with PAHS diplomas. Some of OMC’S best and brightest are bailing, like CPO Dr. Allen Chen, whom many wanted to see as CEO. Pulmonologist Dr. Kevin Chong was treated badly and was moved from one building to the next until he finally bailed and went to Jefferson Healthcare. Now we hear that orthopedic surgeons Dr. Dustin Larson and Dr. Loren Larson -- both PA natives -- have had enough of the zoo and they’re getting out. On the hospital commission, it sounds like former urologist Dr. Carleen Benson is speaking up. Word is that the board is not happy with her so she must be doing the right thing.
The complications and corruption in our healthcare system are so many and so endemic that I have surrendered to only what decisions can I best decide in my behalf, regardless of professional council. It has now been only six years ago when anyone with flu symptoms was subject to being hospital, ( not just OMC ), killed via Remdesivir and other equally lethal practices. Our own best of the best Allison Berry mandated that we inject unsafe and ineffective toxins in order to keep public access, travel, work, etc.. How to destroy a country and/or a civilization without firing a single shot or bomb; addictive illicit drugs. The social consequences of illicit addictive drugs are too many for society to fix, cure or even cope with. Among the many treatments for cancer, physically removing and disposing it remains a long steadfast option. Call it tough love, capital punishment or flat out dispassionate, but physically removing and disposing of any and all involvement in the manufacture, distribution and use of illicit addictive drugs would positively change that entire landscape. Take the recent example of the Venezuelan drug boats being blown up and expand that example from manufacturing to using. It would be both hard and harsh, but the result would ultimately be compassionate. No more wrist slaps or even life in prison. Be complicit in illicit addictive drug manufacturing, trafficking or use and be removed from the gene pool. Economically efficient, compassionate and innumerable lives ultimately saved.

I'm glad that Mike replied and clarified. We get bupkus from the others.
