That’s the number of vacancies in the LSU Hospital System, the entity in charge of Louisiana’s charity hospitals.
Unfortunately, those vacancies cannot be filled at this time because Piyush Jindal has imposed a hiring freeze on all state agencies, regardless of need. I suppose it’s a matter of ethics, don’t you know.
I imagine since he couldn’t finish dismantling our healthcare system during the time he was Secretary of the Department of Health and Hospitals under Mike Foster, he’s going to do what he can to lower the census now. The man has the empathy and soul of a rock.
No, that’s unfair to the rock.









Makes me glad it doesn’t look like I’ll need any in patient care…..
We were just talking about this at lunch…..and how O’Keefe had resigned right after the freeze was announces so LSU wouldn’t be able to hire a replacement without getting a repreive from PBJ….which they’ll get eventually. But, it’s the little people who get hurt from this.
Isn’t it always?
