UHS Youth facilities were owned by same group of misfits who now run CSHM and Small Smiles Dental Centers

Much like the DeRose family built their crooked empire then sold out,  the current Small Smiles Dental Centers management created these horribly torture facilities and sold to Universal Health Services.  Current patient advocate for Small Smiles Dental Centers came over from UHS to work with her old friends  - Angela Newberry

Rick Santorum And Universal Health Services: Presidential Hopeful Serves On Board of Hospital Chain Being Sued By DOJ

WASHINGTON -- Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, who announced his bid for president Monday, has spent the past four years serving on the board of Universal Health Services Inc. (UHS), one of the country's largest and most troubled hospital chains.

It turns out Santorum may have had a more personal stake in railing against President Barack Obama's signature health care legislation and beating the drum for less government intrusion in our health care system. Both federal and state officials have routinely cited UHS for a seemingly endless number of violations, ranging from Medicaid fraud to patient neglect and abuse. Investigations have uncovered everything from riots to rape to homicide at UHS facilities.

Kentucky requirement for Automated Electronic Defibrillator (AED) at dental offices a step in the right direction

 

AED REQUIREMENT
201 KAR 8:550, only dentists who perform general anesthesia/deep sedation and moderate sedation would be required to have an automated external defibrillator in their office. 

General Dentists and Minimal Sedation permit holders would not be required to have an AED.

*******************************

General Anesthesia/Deep Sedation - A drug-induced depression of consciousness during which patients cannot be easily aroused, but respond purposefully following repeated or painful stimulation. The ability to independently maintain ventilatory function may be impaired. Patients may require assistance in maintaining a patent airway and spontaneous ventilation may be inadequate. Cardiovascular function is usually maintained.

Chad Youth Center deaths in 2007
Former Chad Employee Speaks Out
Quote from Tennessee Hall of Shame
Death ruled a homicide at youth center

Chad administrator McDuffie assured DHS that Chad was a "nurturing and positive environment." He said the facility had hired more staff and made children's safety a priority. The former owners of Chad also said it was a safe and therapeutic place for children when they handed over the keys to Universal Health in October 2005. "Our goal was to effect treatment in as nonphysical a way as possible," former chief executive officer Michael G. Lindley said. Al Smith, another former top executive with Chad's former owner, said: "Did untoward events happen? Absolutely. But was it a culture? I don't believe so."

DHS staffer Haiying Xi reported, a youngster had been cut on the chin in a restraint, requiring stitches. Chad had not reported this to regulators, DHS learned. Finally, DHS official Stephen Rosenberg wrote to Chad. "The investigation could not determine any pattern for the use of illegal physical restraints," Rosenberg wrote.  But children died.

Your tax money for Wall Street, no not the bailout-Worse!

From WAFF

In 2009 the Richard J. (John) and Leanne Malouf home rated 42 in top 100 most expensive homes in Dallas!  He’s just a dentist!  What did his neighbors think he did?  How did he explain he was screwing his neighbors as well as taxpayers to live like this?  He’s only 45 years old!

Last year, lax state regulations allowed dentists to legally collect nearly $200 million to straighten the teeth of poor children in Texas at taxpayer expense.
That's more than the rest of the United States combined.
Orthodontic treatment for children is generally an elective, cosmetic procedure that many parents spend thousands of dollars on for their children. But Texas pays for orthodontics under Medicaid like no other state in the country.
In 2010, Texas spent $184 million on Medicaid orthodontics.
Medicaid is designed to provide health care for the poor.

Want out of your employment contract with your dental mill? Tell ‘em to shove it! The company is operating an illegal operation, and they know it.

You might want to read up on Penny v OrthAlliance 2003
Corporations practicing dentistry is down right illegal, always has been.  Now, when is someone going to enforce the laws?

Currently, some Dental Boards say they do not have the authority.
Well, what the hell do we need them for?  Monthly dog and pony shows?

Massive influx of foreign-trained dentist and complete take over of our medical and dental health care profession? You decide

Someone found this on the Internet and sent it to me.  I felt it absolutely should be reposted as it is yet another picture of what is happening right under our noses and we all need to wake up from our peaceful slumber:

 

We will soon see a massive influx of foreign-trained dentists. While everything else has been outsourced, the last majorly unaffected areas of the American economy are health care and the service sector. By virtue of the logic that health care not be outsourced, we as a profession were complacent.
