I wonder how Jeffery Sterman is going to get another job? He was there pretty long to be a whistleblower.

Even if they silence him, at least this is out t”here:

“The lawsuit details how Kaiser Foundation Hospital and Health Plan created a culture where employees are physically harmed and patient care compromised.”

So, so true!

Ouch. Ask him what happened to my boss, Dr. Louis Lehman. He had HIV since residency and as far back as 2002, his 50th birthday, he was not well - mentally competent which is documentable. His departure was according to a doctor that I know unpleasant. HIV at Kaiser SF is political issue and probably a concern of the majority of male nurses at K-SFO. The homosexuals were and are the power elite in the organization and if this man worked 80 hours a week as he claims, he was more concerned with the issue and his brethren than he was with his own health. Kaiser SF has a thriving gay culture and I am sure that he was happy there until they found him to be incompetent. Dr. Lehman was forced out because he lost his sanity and was at issue publicly and obviously he was allowed to practice for years with advanced HIV dementia in the ICU and on the governing board of the hospital in SF. I wouldn’t want anyone with dementia directing my health care or instructing medical students. This lawsuit is only going to be the first of many anyhow … all the gay people at K-SFO are such and such’s “lover” and this is only a sickening twist on the subject. I hope that the guy finds out what a cruel employer the Permanente is as I have found …

After his many years pushing the big lie that is Kaiser Permanente, without regard to the massive number of people his “voice” and actions contributed to harming, I’m more inclined to label Mr. Sterman’s experience as well-deserved karma.

I’m always glad when someone on the inside speaks up, but I don’t have a lot of sympathy for someone who thought it was perfectly fine to fully participate in and support KP’s corrupt corporate culture as long as it wasn’t happening to him. My prediction is that Kaiser will settle and pay him off to keep him quiet, and Sterman will accept. And as a condition of the settlement he’ll have to agree not to say anything negative about KP in the future.

It’s about time someone on the “inside” stepped forward.

I think this website is testimony to the bogus “Thrive” campaign.

Apparently, no one is “thriving” at kaiser.

Thank you, Jeffrey Sterman, for speaking on behalf of the many KP employees, past and present, whose health has been destroyed by KP’s work environment and policies. I am one of many in a similar boat, and am only now, almost three years after leaving KP, starting to regain my health.
