I am rebuked in this issue [see Letters page] for my recent column on Martin Luther King Jr./Drew Medical Center by an old acquaintance, Director Mark Finucane of the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (DHS). Actually, Finucane, while defending his operations, takes issue with my accuracy on only one point, which I shall return to later.Otherwise, our local health czar mostly lauds things as they are at the DHS hospital system in general and King/Drew in particular. My contention is that things ought to be and could be better.
