St. Catherine receives stroke care certification - Garden City, KS

The arrogance of those involved in assuming that readers will think this is important rather than being worthless because it doesn't refer to results. Call the hospital president and demand better stroke results than this crap.

Big f*cking whoopee.

You can check out Joint Commission standards here:

 I saw absolutely nothing about what should be done the first week or anything about measuring 30-day deaths and 100% recovery.  God, these people are worse than worthless. Complacent good-for-nothings.

“A hospital must demonstrate strict adherence to guidelines and quality improvement, which includes rapid patient evaluation and treatment,” said Dr. Matt Byrnes, a general surgeon at the hospital. “The Joint Commission is the premiere accrediting agency nationwide, and we have its gold seal of approval. It has rigorous standards, which is why we chose this path to accreditation.” 

This statement is what is so f*cking bad about this. Guidelines NOT RESULTS.

You could probably meet all the guidelines and still have every patient die and that would be counted as a success.
