Bill, Your opinion piece is so thoughtful that residents would benefit by reading it again. Too bad the El Camino Hospital Board didn't agree with many of your suggestions - increasing the size of the Board, making some agreement with Camino Medical Group, which continues to grow and siphon business away from the hospital, and taking a strong stand over conflicts of interest.
