Clearly #OHSU customer service is playing the pass the puck game with regards to my reaching out fed up with them not changing my name. I wrote to the email that I was given only to get an automatic response that it's some sort of care team referral service huh? About right now I'm just about ready to walk away from OHSU and all my medical records- it's been nearly two years and multiple attempts with documentation. There's no excuse good enough any more.

Did you know: if someone at OHSU goes above and beyond, you can nominate them for a ROSE Service Award. I'm putting my mammogram tech in because it was painless, educational, and she was a joy. I felt uplifted in more ways than one. :) Link: www.ohsu.edu/health/rose-... @ohsunews.bsky.social #OHSU

Everyone loves the story of an underdog, and Dr. Luiz Bertassoni shared part of his remarkable story of perseverance in our latest podcast episode! He covered his academic training spanning 3 continents, his research applying engineering tools to biology to study cancer and regenerative medicine, his favorite scientific travels, building an innovative new research center, his love of surfing and music, and more.

We'd love to see more #unions and their members move to #Mastodon!

Well. Sounds like some things haven't changed much. I remember non-union CRA's (nearly all were non-union) with masters degrees in bioscience would be making less than specimen labeling assistants at the hospital who had only high school diplomas or GED's.
“He was sent an offer letter by #OHSU offering him 25% of his current salary,” Druker said. “He was kind enough to call us back and say, ‘was there some kind of a mistake?’ Unfortunately, there was not.”
OHSU Doctors Start Letter-Writing Campaign to Gov. Kotek Seeking Leadership Changes
Anthony Effinger for Willamette Week, Aug 22 2024
"Monfries should no longer be chair because he strong-armed the board to extend Jacobs’ contract and increased his retirement package by $700,000 during a budget crunch that will ultimately cost more than 400 workers their jobs. Many employees, in turn, blame Jacobs for poor performance and low morale at OHSU."
When even non-profit, state supported #hospitals rely on and make decisions based on profitability, both patients and communities suffer the consequences: In Oregon, #OHSU leaders warn crowded emergency room is hurting finances - “…the emergency department has become, in effect, an overflow inpatient unit for the hospital, with people needing care stashed in conference rooms, hallway beds and exam rooms.” #MedicalCare #Medicine #Oregon #PublicHealth #HealthCare https://www.opb.org/article/2024/04/21/ohsu-hospital-emergency-room-overcrowding/
"Switching arms between vaccine doses could dramatically improve immune response, OHSU study shows" 😲
