He semi retired several years ago. Just before Summa took over. He stayed in touch with some of his old coworkers. He’d worked in the ER and the other doctors there had formed a corporation and contracted with the hospital for many years. When Summa came in they cut wages 25% and cut the contract with the doctors. They told anyone who didn’t like it could leave and many doctors did leave that hospital had been a teaching hospital and they lost their accreditation. He was glad he left when he did.
