Our call to the JC Sentinel Event Hotline confirms our previous reporting about the ruse that is the Joint Commission International. “The standards are not the same. The standards are different. It’s a totally different manual.” What’s so wrong is that the JCI cleverly set up a different set of standards than what JC hospitals are beholden to in America—a fact confirmed through our call.

It was a republic—which has now mostly been bought and sold into oblivion—and is still called a democracy...
