No Worries! CCF Says "Cessation of Inpatient Services" at LKWD Hospital "Not Discontinued Operation"

Post by Brian Essi »

Summers: "Healthcare is Changing" ...and so is the meaning of the English language and reality.

From CCF's annual Audit Report:

"The cessation of inpatient services at [Lakewood Hospital] is not considered a discontinued operation since the System provides inpatient hospital services at the Foundation and its subsidiary hospitals in the Northeast Ohio area."

Great Christmas Gift Idea: Reserve a hospital bed at Fairview so in case the flu epidemic gets out of hand your loved ones will be covered.

A classic example of corporate "soft language".
This 1990 George Carlin routine comes to mind.

So typical of CCF double talk.

They pay lawyers good money to come up with this kind of nonsense.

As they say, “If you can’t dazzle them with your brilliance, baffle them with your bull$hit!”

I appreciate your post and Mr. Carlin's directness.

I think I will resolve in the new year to try to be more direct instead of using such soft language.
