They kept him. He made some changes that IMO helped. Though he dropped the idea of eliminating the waiting room and instead focused on things that could help reduce the time needed to be in one. The people aspect was harder to change. Ex: A patient arrives early for an exam, employee is in the break room or chit-chatting and knows the patient has arrived early - but rather than going out to get them, they wait until the appointment time or shortly after. I personally could never understand the purpose of making them wait. Decisions in healthcare - the hospital I worked at added a new CT/MRI suite. I think during the design process every architect needs to try pushing a cart into a CT room. After it was built, we had to raise the CT bed and do some fancy cart driving maneuvers to get one in there.
And - on a totally different design note - they also need to use the design created (before it's built) for public bathroom stalls. Good lord, some places it's like playing twister to get in the stall, shut the door and use the toilet.
I have had periods of post-surgical "non-weight-bearing" twice that required me to first use a wheelchair then a scooter. Even the stalls designed for wheelchair use are a struggle when you have to get the chair in there and leverage yourself around. The ones at Hilton look huge...until you try to use them.
I can't believe how some places are so expensive for like a burger or wrap that's mediocre, and then other places are way cheaper with better quality.
Went to a place for lunch yesterday with my foreman and his family, they have a limited menu on Saturday afternoons because of all the youth softball and baseball teams that come in. $14 for a wrap and $15+ for burgers, comes with a side at least, but still ridiculous.
Then I met the gf for dinner last night at a little bar that's down by where GM used to be. About $7-$10 for burgers and wraps, depending on what you get, and then you can add fries for $3. And it's really good food.
After that we went to go see some fireworks. Parked in a random parking lot and put a blanket down on the terrace, sat and watched.

Yeah the bathrooms in the hospital are huge. Plus they have the emergency pulls in case people have an issue, the amount of olds or mentally altered people that pull/push it is honestly wild
I'm 70, and due to repetitive motion damage from my work, have severe arthritis in my hands. Just try leveraging up without the use of your thumbs! Yup. Us "olds" are a real problem...
So been putting off building out this presentation for a job interview. Due by 8am tmrw or I get cut from the candidate list.
Think you’re projecting but could also be me not explaining correctly, I was referring to people using the emergency pull/push when it wasn’t necessary my not for actual need.
Kids and their electric scooters today. They'll never know the pain of taking a razor scooter to the ankle.
Well it was family picture day today. 1st time since the current parents of little kids were little kids. Good thing to get done. 
Or using the break on said scooter without wearing shoes. LittleWx recently did that on his Razor scooter and I instinctively yelled out "no!" and he looked at me like I am crazy. Of course it is all plastic now so the heat transfer from the friction is much different.
