X-Message-Number: 30031 From: Subject: Review of SA News Bulletin Number 11 Date: Mon, 19 Nov 2007 12:48:33 +0000 --NextPart_Webmail_9m3u9jl4l_18941_1195476513_0 I have posted a review of the SA News Bulletin Number 11, on my sorely-neglected blog, here: http://cryomedical.blogspot.com/2007/11/sa-news-bulletin-number-11.html The last paragraph reads: "It's time for Ms. Baldwin to show us what she is made of. Is she a manager, or a mouse? Ms. Baldwin knows the salaries and consulting fees being paid by SA are inappropriate; she could have qualified personnel for the same price, (actually, for much less). She also knows the selection of personnel and consultants is inappropriate. The SA personnel are extremely underqualified to perform medical procedures, yet some of them are being paid more than three times as much as paramedics, and ridiculously more than what they should be paid for the tasks they perform, (building Platt's designs, basic bookkeeping, text-messaging their friends, etc). Finally, if Ms. Baldwin approves of the equipment SA is using, it could only be because she is unaware of existing, more professionally constructed, less expensive alternatives. When are the REAL changes coming, at SA, Ms. Baldwin, or are your hands tied?" Are you the REAL manager of SA? Do you actually have the power to change things, or are w e going to keep getting more of the same foolishness in regard to unqualified personnel, lack of progress and total fiscal irresponsibility?" I've been reluctant to criticize Ms. Baldwin, but all I see from SA is more of the same, with just a few changes, most of which Aschwin de Wolf and I suggested a long time ago. Unfortunately, I believe our suggestions bruised Platt's fragile ego, causing him to retaliate with no small amount of subversive tactics that I believe were intended to drive us away. At least he was successful, in that regard, as both Aschwin and I did resign. (And, don't let Platt get away with saying he resigned before we did, he was still managing SA, even after his resignation, everyone who was there, knows this.)
