The Bayonne Medical Center has ended it's lockout

In what can only be described as an utter failure on the workage and PR side of things, the Bayonne Medical Center has decided to end it's ill advised lockout of nurses and other health care workers.

Seeking to minimize the damage done to their reputation, the BMC allowed CEO Dan Kane to utter these words: "We are thinking about the needs of the community "We are civic-minded and were are ending the lockout in the interests of community."

Uh huh.

It had nothing to do with the fact you constantly needed to call back locked out employees to remain open. It had nothing to do with ham handed and botched testing and patient care from replacement workers. You keep telling the public whatever it is you want to BMC. The rest of us out here in a land called reality know what happened.

A cautionary tale of proving a point over providing service

As Johnny fights a blistering migraine headache this morning, a quick medical story, and we mean quick. The Bayonne Medical Center has locked out it's unionized staff in a labor dispute (only to find themselves short staffed and having to call in some workers they themselves have locked out). They are also running the Medical Center with replacement workers.

Then comes this story about what's happening as a direct result to the patients who count on the BMC.

Nice.
