It is unconscionable that Geisinger nurses are not guaranteed quality health care by their employer.
Geisinger: do the right thing. Get back to the table and give your nurses the same quality of care that they provide to patients.

But his total lack of empathy? Is that relatively new? Curious if that is another long term effect or just a personality flaw he has had for ages.
