G: STOP all reviews, we will sign ourselves
CEO: ok here's the stuff I've found so far, meeting w the Auditor General in a couple of days to discuss concerns
G: your fired, we'll take it from here
AHS BOARD: we didn't agree w the firing of the CEO, and we have a duty to protect taxpayers, so want to see the forensic audit
G: your fired, we'll take it from here
AHS BOARD: we didn't agree w the firing of the CEO, and we have a duty to protect taxpayers, so want to see the forensic audit
G: AHS Board, all our handpicked people AND a bunch of active deputy ministers, "YOU'RE Fired". We will appoint our own DM of health as AHS CEO and BOARD!
Fired CEO: tells lawyer of concerns and thinks she's been fired for doing her job and finding corruption
Fired CEO: tells lawyer of concerns and thinks she's been fired for doing her job and finding corruption
Lawyer: sends concerns to the govt, and that letter gets leaked to the public
Govt: nothing to see her public, own team will take a look see. had to fire the CEO and Board because everyone knows "AHS SUCKS", their minds musta been poisoned by AHS to have any concerns w govt
Govt: nothing to see her public, own team will take a look see. had to fire the CEO and Board because everyone knows "AHS SUCKS", their minds musta been poisoned by AHS to have any concerns w govt
Public: wow this looks serious
Govt: don't worry we're looking into it, AHS SUCKS
Public: we really should learn all the facts, can we get someone independent do a public inquiry?
Govt: nothing to see, we will appoint an independent review (3 wks later still haven't)

Public: what up with for-profit surgery and pressure to sign top-secret backroom contracts?
G: everyone knows AHS didn't want to care for ABs, these for-profits are cheaper and faster and better
Reporters: but here's a bunch of your OWN HC data to say that isn't true
G: everyone knows AHS didn't want to care for ABs, these for-profits are cheaper and faster and better
Reporters: but here's a bunch of your OWN HC data to say that isn't true
G: nope for-profits are cheaper and better
R: but when you compare apples to apples (cost of same day low risk same type surgeries in hospital versus for-profits) it looks like some of these are REALLY EXPENSIVE and they seem to have added costs for services not provided

G:nope. everyone knows AHS sucks. It's true we've had our own handpicked people running AHS for the last 2yrs, but you can't trust their findings, their minds have been poisoned
R:looks like there are major conflicts w some of the owners, and they got other huge deals w govt
R:looks like there are major conflicts w some of the owners, and they got other huge deals w govt
G: nope
R: looks like the same people investing in the for-profit surgery centers got paid up front 70M for some medicine and delivered less than 20M in product. Also they might have got nice land deals? Also they might have done more than 615M is other deals?

G: everyone KNOWS AHS sucks
R: there's allegations that the top contract people you were using might have had major conflicts, and maybe some of the most senior govt staff members got involved inappropriately... shouldn't we have a public inquiry
G: look we will look into it

G: look we will look into it
UCP MLA: wait, there might be major issues with many secret govt for-profit deals in other places too, if there's corruption we should weed it out, we should remove anyone potentially conflicted and investigate this
G: nope, we've put MORE of our own people in again
G: nope, we've put MORE of our own people in again
HCWs: we don't feel safe in this environment anymore, AND worse, people are suffering and dying from really long waits for surgery, cancer care, hospital care, and emergency care
Govt: you're just being resistant to change, we will name an IND investigator some day
Govt: you're just being resistant to change, we will name an IND investigator some day
Reporters: looks like there's evidence that the fired-CEOs was right that these for-profit deals might impare ability to care for pts in hospitals, why are there empty ORs, and why are ED waits so long
G: look, EVERYTHING AHS sucks, we will continue firings/"refocus"
G: look, EVERYTHING AHS sucks, we will continue firings/"refocus"
Public,HCWS,Reporters,MLAs: what about a public inquiry?
G: nope, lets focus on how NOBODY that has ever been put in any position in AHS could ever be trusted. Once we move everyone into govt, and have bureaucrats run 4 seperate unconnected Agencies, everything will be better

Public: did this kind of stuff happen in Recovery Alberta?
G: asked other Ministers, they are confident it didn't and there's no need to look... so we aren't going to look into any of that
.... and I guess to be continued
still no Independent reviewer named btw
