Recently, Dave and Kelly Dominguez awoke at 3 a.m. to a nightmare. Their only daughter, Kaylin, had suffered a massive, life-threatening seizure and was rushed to the hospital. Kaylin remained at Stanford for five weeks, fighting valiantly for her life. Dave and Kelly never left her side. Once Kaylin was stabilized, she was moved to a care facility in Marin County, where she remains today with her parents beside her watching for any sign of their beautiful daughter’s smile or return to normal.

I have been in the Health Care business for over 20 years and have worked at a number of hospitals in this state and abroad. Every time the surveyors, State or Federal, inspect a facility they find points of "non-compliance" and “deficiencies”. In fact it's their job to find these issues. Just as a driver risks losing his/her right to drive if they do not comply with the rules of the road, hospitals must follow their own set or rules or risk penalty. When a surveyor finds a hospital out of compliance on something, there is the threat of Federal/State funds being pulled. This is nothing new. It happens all the time and at every hospital in the country. This is all part of the process that helps a hospital achieve excellence in patient care and safety. Why don't your reporters report these facts? Why does the local paper here not support their only hospital? The reporting is so negative and full of doom that I believe you are doing your readership a disservice. Do you ever consider celebrating the good work Saint Louise does on a daily basis? I see it from the front row. I’ve seen lives saved here. I see people made well here every day. Do you think we will see a front page story on one of the very many wonderful successes achieved at Saint Louise?
