[StBernard] St. Bernard Parish Hospital to have one-time 30-mill tax on April ballot

[Westley Annis]

>he [DiFatta] emphasized that it would help

hire specialists so that residents would no longer need to be transferred to
other metro New Orleans hospitals for procedures that the hospital currently
cannot handle<


That's a ridiculous statement.  He's saying hire specialists but then he
says "procedures the hospital currently cannot handle".  


This is supposed to be a community hospital.  Go there for broken bones, an
appendectomy or maybe gall-bladder removal or something.  No one is
expecting this place to be one where they perform open heart surgeries.


And why would you *hire* specialists?  To put them on the hospital staff?
Does DiFatta

expect there to be a boatload of some type of unknown special procedures
that will be done there?  Someone should have done a follow up question and
ask him to clarify his statement.
