Humor Served Tongue 'n Cheek

During the reign of the current director and the associated Care Line Managers at Canandaigua there have been times when we the employees of the facility have been led down that proverbial garden pathway.

Many times the changes that we experienced were given the sanction that we must ready us for the future, after all change is inevitable but pain is not. 

We watched as our fellow comrades fell on the battle field reassured that their sacrifice would prevent our ship from falling to the enemy as the war progressed.

Sometimes I felt like a sheep being watched over by our Shepard. Oh there were warning signs along the way. But we looked the other way soothed by the sounds of the lyre as it played during the night. Yes there were rumors, stories of past actions, suggestions designed to make us think. But they were just rumors weren't they, or were they.

I guess we never listened to the stories of our elders when at night they would tell us of Aesop and his Fables. You know the story of the wolf in sheep's clothing.

Well live and learn, too late we grow too smart.

The use of a disguise or diversion  to bring about change is not a new one it has been used since the beginning of time as this cartoon from the turn of the century shows so why does this approach seem necessary. After all didn't the VISN pride itself on planning with an open book. Weren't its leaders schooled with telling the truth, no matter what. 

Well it seems that, that was only when it suited their purposes. And now they are amazed at our and the communities response after all Cleveland is in favor of closing Brecksville aren't they? Of course Brecksville blow was softened with the carrot of a $100 million new facility. All we got was a McDonald's "Supersized" Clinic. And not even a soft drink to go with it.
