If Dr's Pickett and Bhatia want to come to Victoria to practice, then LET THEM!! This is a free country and everyone who is willing and able may work how much and where they chose. Too bad if compition stinks for you Dr. Taylor. Be a big boy and just accept it. As for the "Love Fest" for Dr. Chandna, I don't see any letters written from patients stating they are backing Dr. Taylor up, only his office employee is backing him.
I think we just need to leave this issue alone. Compition is better. Does anyone see or hear the family physicians whine or complain to the public about too many of them in Victoria? I think people need to pay attention to more important things happening in this community like maybe taxpayers money going to pay big bucks to one particular cardiology practice to work solely at a certain "medical facility" Hmmm....

This is all truly pathetic. As stated below, the "mud-slinging" is completely ridiculous. Come on people, do you not have anything better to do than belittle someone who has merely expressed an opinion? No one is ever going to see eye-to-eye on this topic, so express your opinion and knock off the belittling bullsh*t. Comment From: Victoriaite  (Report this comment as a violation)

Somebody finally said what I was thinking, no matter the topic under debate this paper and its blogs, letters to the editor, etc. has degraded it’s self to mud slinging sensationalism. I am embarrassed that Victoria has allowed itself to turn this paper into a local version of a trash rag.
Leave Connie alone, she has the right to discuss her opinion and at least she did not try to disguise her opinion as facts laced with sensational untruths. Really Mr. Palmer your grafts were disconnected. Wow that truly is one for Guiness. And no this is not a violation of HIPPA as Mr. Palmer is publicly broadcasting this “information”. And while this love fest for Dr. Chandna has gotten through, you better hope the people who do not share your warm fuzzy feelings for Dr. Chandna and his plans to control Victoria’s medical community don’t start sinking to your level and start mud slinging back.

Palmer’s article was misleading and meant to insult, not address the issue of competent surgeons in the presence of low volume & unavailability, that’s what I got from her letter. She only repeated what the guy said himself. There is no violation of HIPPA here. Mr. Palmer put it out there for discussion, in a public newspaper no less.

I am never surprised, just disappointed at how ready you are to attack people for their opinions, instead of offering a well thought out opinion yourself on the topic.

FYI: Connie is Dr.Taylor's office employee. Now we all know how she has so much info on Mr.Palmer. Can we say HIPPA VIOLATION? Comment From: Norton  (Report this comment as a violation)

You seem to know a lot about this person, as if a friend or doctor, such as age, health condition etc. That seems to me to breach confidentialty between you, whether personal or professional. Comment From: southtexas  (Report this comment as a violation)

Connie....are you a physician, did you examine this gentleman....it certainly sounds like it from your letter. You do not have a clue what you are talking about. The gentleman who went through the episode was there. Having the new doctors is a definite plus for the community....after all, they are getting more experience every day by performing procedures in multiple cities. And the comment about Dr. Taylor taking the "high road"....give me a break! Comment From: ZTER  (Report this comment as a violation)

Actually, I think the point of her story was Victoria cannot support 4 Heart Surgeons, there is not enough business here. Comment From: RRTMOM  (Report this comment as a violation)

Actually Connie, if you have had surgery, you should know that Deral Palmers' post-surgical complications were most likely complications and not "bad genes". Hello!! Did you not have to sign consent for your surgery and were not all of those listed along with DEATH? You should go to the surgeon you trust and that has treated others you know well and respect. No one has the same experiences and cares for the same thing, but I do not think there is anything wrong with a little competition. It's good for patients and bedside manner.
