Chicago has many, honest, good people but at UIC there are some great examples of dishonesty, corruption, and nepotism associated to stellar careers. Even more disturbing is to see what happens to the people that decide not to go along with them. Their life becomes miserable, their salaries are reduced, their positions terminated and their reputation destroyed. <br /><br />Maybe it is time for some cleanup!<br />We, honest people, appreciate what you are doing! <br /><br />Note to Anon: I edited this to remove names of people.

He is also responsible for the hospital privileges given to Dr. Giulianotti to practice not only general surgery, but also thoracic, vascular, urologic and gynecological surgery. Does UIC have surgeons in these special areas? And if so, why is this unqualified surgeon performing such a broad spectrum of procedures? The AMA and the ACS must be involved, as they need to shed light on this deplorable situation and discipline the responsible persons. Knowing the MO of UIC, I am afraid that the medical school might do absolutely nothing. I hope the Chicago Tribune launches an investigation, forcing UIC to take action.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-26642147902449575962014-01-24T12:29:32.287-05:002014-01-24T12:29:32.287-05:00Anon 11:21
