  1. This was a busy and productive 15 hour day that started with a 6:45 AM meeting. Again, I believe that the meeting could have been done electronically. Noted 8 of 19 people at the meeting who do not take care of patients ... hired to shuffle papers. That is a large number of folks who could be providing at least SOME patient care. This is a problem. Lots of $$$ going to administrative cost that could be used to contribute to better patient care.
