From what I hear it has nothing to do with budget cuts, loss of the director or anything they are reporting to the media. This is not something that just happened. The burn unit has not been accepting new patients for about a month. Erlanger is just telling people whatever can cause the least damage to their reputation. My husband was a patient 20+ years ago and we still keep in contact with the past and present nurses and assistants. What you are being told is nothing but lies. There is a much bigger story to tell and the ones that could tell are fearful of their jobs or getting big paychecks that Erlanger won't disclose. This have everything to do with infections that they could not find the source of in patients that didn't have infections when they came into the burn unit. See if Erlanger knows anything about that. The unit is not just closed it's padlocked.
