NBC’s Cynthia McFadden reports on how this isn’t the first time a staff member has made these allegations at hospitals owned by HCA, the biggest for-profit hospital in the U.S.

Thank you. This is a widespread problem in healthcare. What a brave man.
My two biggest fears are
Death
And the corporations that are supposed to save you from death
Fighting with Corp hospitals is like Fighting the school boards
For profit huh. But it’s part of capitalism so shouldn’t we all except this😉😉😉 gotta love the states and our wonderful healthcare system.
God bless this physician. anyone in healthcare knows the truths he speaks. he is just brave enough to speak them to other people
Nurses have been trying to coming forward about stuff like this for yrs and get fired
There are things that should not be profit driven. Healthcare is #1 on that list.
Good old capitalism
People think politics, walstreet is bad. Nope, you ain't seen nothing till you touch hospital or medical management.
Come on DeSantis! Do better
Good job, brother! Some medical professionals in this country love what they do and actually go to school to help sick people. Americas for-profit system is the issue.
This is quiet firing. It isn't just retaliation. It's the hospital showing that they want him to leave on his own.
The blood of Jesus Christ can and will protect him. Nothing can stand against the precious blood of Jesus Christ. No evil will stand against all who call on the name of Jesus Christ. AMEN
There are SO MANY similar stories coming out about hospitals now. This doctor is HUGELY brave for his action but there are many other doctors and nurses doing the same thing at this time. He will pay the price but I'm sure he knew that when he decided to come forth. God Keep Him Safe!!!
Shame on this hospital!
Many hospitals do this. Shut up, or there will be consequences. It's so sad that the government doesn't regulate this
They are involved with Scientology and Disney and Sherriff Grady Judd stealing my phone and computers and accounts and destroyed evidence and stole identities and inheritance and intellectual property and Veterans Benefits and Social Security and retirement and estate and collected life insurance with Veterans Administration and Interpol and Halliburton Kellogg Brown Root Balfour Beatty Total Security Systems International G4S and BlackWater Spectrum Health and destroyed property.
US health care is terrible. We've got 6 months waiting list for hearing tests through my provider. This is private huge cost care too. Privatized for profit institutions are to blame. For example XRay, invented over hundred years ago still insane cost. A picture invented near same era is pennies.
This is absolutely true. I've worked at them and every travel nurse knows you don't work for HCA. 8:1 patient ratios. No support staff, overworked Dr's. You families ate not safe at any HCA facility and most for profit hospitals
Thank you Dr. for speaking up.
Yay Obamacare
Monsters
This is a horror show, and it’s happening all over the Country. That good Doctor needs to leave and start his own independent practice.
They're covering this up in multiple hospitals across the country.
Any hospital that hires this Dr is the hospital you want to go to. No corrupt hospital will touch him after this.
In christian amerikkka?! What?!!!!
Next thing you know he ends up “dead” because of “unknown cause” or “suicide”
This is the best reason I can think of for socialized medicine.
Why is this news??? It's been happening all over the country for a long time now. SMH.
