It's been a mess for years: June 19, 2015 University Health Shreveport officials believe a medical care competitor is hunting their contracted employees in a play to own the market.
Details coming in lawsuit with BRF, Vantage, Willis-Knighton?
F.King Alexander is on Willis Knighton's side. I'm pretty sure that's why LSU is mentioned in the lawsuit the company that runs the Shreveport and Monroe hospitals.
Willis Knighton-BRF feud boils over
UPDATE: Willis Knighton trustees meet today to discuss CEO
Details coming in lawsuit with BRF, Vantage, Willis-Knighton?
quote:
Sept. 15, 2017 A federal judge is considering which details in the blockbuster antitrust lawsuit involving the operator of northern Louisiana's safety net hospitals, a Monroe insurer, Shreveport's dominant health care provider and LSU Health Shreveport should be made public.
U.S. District Judge Beth Foote heard more than five hours of motion arguments Friday in a courtroom closed to the public, according BRF's Steve Skrivanos, and has scheduled another hearing Oct. 4.
BRF, which operates University Health hospitals in Monroe and Shreveport, and Vantage Health Plan, which insures about 60,000 people throughout Louisiana, filed the lawsuit in 2015 against the Willis-Knighton Health System.
LSU isn't a plaintiff, but it is mentioned prominently in the lawsuit, which alleges the university conspired with Willis-Knighton.

Willis Knighton-BRF feud boils over
quote:
The long-simmering feud between BRF and Willis-Knighton Health System boiled over Friday as leaders from both camps publicly attacked the other in separate guest columns published by The Times.
Longtime Willis-Knighton Chief Executive and President Jim Elrod broke his public silence with his submission claiming BRF sullied the honor and legacy of its founder Virginia Shehee's memory.
BRF's Steve Skrivanos fired back, saying Willis-Knighton has tried to scuttle and undermine BRF's operation of northern Louisiana's University Health safety net hospitals in Monroe and Shreveport since 2013.
Both are already entangled in an antitrust lawsuit BRF filed against Willis Knighton that also asserts LSU is conspiring with Willis-Knighton against BRF, an accusation LSU President King Alexander called comical in a meeting with The Times this week.

UPDATE: Willis Knighton trustees meet today to discuss CEO
The Willis-Knighton Board of Trustees has scheduled an emergency meeting at noon today to discuss a "no confidence" statement in health system Chief Executive Jim Elrod.
A group of doctors on the Medical Executive Committee have asked that Elrod resign or be fired.
USA Today Network will provide coverage of the meeting.
(Original Story, posted Wednesday, Oct. 4)
Willis-Knighton's Medical Executive Committee has issued a statement of no confidence in Chief Executive James Elrod, asking that he resign as leader of northern Louisiana's largest health care provider.
The doctors on Monday sent a letter obtained by USA Today Network to the Willis Knighton Board of Trustees and its chairman, Dr. Frank Hughes, outlining their "no confidence" position.
"Our preference would be that Mr. Elrod voluntarily step down from his position and retire with the dignity and respect due him for his great service to both WK and the Shreveport-Bossier community," the doctors wrote. "Should he prove incapable of graciously stepping aside, you, as the board, must initiate a transition to new leadership."

That is pretty shocking as I know Dr. Nanda on a professional level. I've met with him personally 25-30 times while conducting vocational rehabilitation conferences. Brilliant is an understatement as he's arguably one of the top Neurosurgeons in the world. Ironically I was in the LSU-S building last Thursday 10-5-17 meeting with a colleague of Dr. Nanda's to discuss medical treatment recommendations and patient care.

Dr. Nanda is still seeing Pts as normal, they just gave his position to the OB Dr.

Correct
He is tenured

If Nanda decides to leave over this, it will eclipse LA Tech screwing up the Kim Mulkey hire.

I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but the dude doesn't give a single shite about anything. He could have told someone frick off I'm doing this I don't care.
Couldn’t be further from the truth

I was once at jury duty selection for a malpractice suit against Nanda. I instantly got myself released for going to school with some of his kids. I ended up serving on jury for a double homicide instead.
