Hospital politics and the blogosphere

The Boston Globe reports the chief of anesthesiology at BI-Deaconess being dismissed:

Dr. Carol Warfield, chief of anesthesia, sent an e-mail to colleagues on Wednesday, saying that hospital chief executive Paul Levy had dismissed her as chair effective immediately.

“To say the least, I was shocked,” Warfield wrote. She said that she was planning to return from sabbatical in two weeks and that Levy, whom she said notified her by e-mail, gave her no reason for the dismissal.

This is an interesting intersection between hospital politics and the blogosphere, since CEO Paul Levy writes quite openly in his blog. So far, he’s silent on the issue.
