Dear Editor, “The ideal is full time doc (doctor), that’s the ideal” said Rude, Director of Health Management Services (HMS). Sooo if that is the ideal, why would Saratoga want to hire HMS to provide less than the ideal when Saratoga CURRENTLY HAS THE IDEAL DOCTOR. So what will you get from HMS? Rude said, “If a provider, doctor provider, is available to cover the time and if the patient load can justify the expense of a doctor to cover the time and we can break even and make profit, then I’m absolutely good with that.” A possible translation...
Dear Editor, My congratulations to the UPRSWDD (Platte Valley Landfill District) for winning the Wyoming Solid Waste and Recycling Association (WSWRA) award for recycling for populations under 5,000 for 2018. Congratulations also goes to the citizens and businesses of this landfill district for making this award possible with their support of our recycling efforts in Saratoga and Encampment over the last 10 years. We have come a long way in 20 years, from no recycling at all in 1995 when I arrived here, to a new recycling building equipped...
Editor: It is official. Plastic bottles along with glass are no longer being recycled at the Saratoga landfill/transfer station. At the August 1st monthly meeting of the Upper Platte River Solid Waste Disposal District, its Chairman, Randy Raymer, said; “Glass is being put in the roll off to be put in the CD … pit … and so is mixed ridges (plastics)”, according to the Saratoga Sun article of August 8. If you want your plastic containers as well as your pop and beer boxes recycled, your must take them to the Rawlins Recycling Center. If you lea...
Editor, It is with great horror that I read about what’s going on with the medical clinic! Even though both my husband and I have lived in Rawlins for close to 25 years now, we have always doctored in Saratoga. We’ve always had excellent care, able to get in to see the doc with a short notice, etc. I was very impressed when I met Dr. Kaiser and felt good about him being my new family doctor. He was very easy to talk to and he actually listened! It will force us to find another doctor if you do indeed run Dr. Kaiser off and I would hate tha...
Editor, My heart is heavy with sadness as I compose this letter. I think the powers that be could have been more sensitive and forth coming to the public with our health care provider issues instead of the way it was handled. However righteous you may have wanted it to be, in the end, you treated us as school children and left us feeling something shady was done. I am publicly mourning the loss of a great doctor this little Valley was blessed with, Dr. Brian Kaiser. For the very short time he was here he made a huge improvement to so many...
Editor, After many questions by several different people, I thought I would help clear up what the difference in a PA (Physician Assistant), NP (Nurse Practitioner: may have different first initial depending on specialty, for instance FNP is family nurse practitioner, PNP is pediatric nurse practitioner), MD (Medical Doctor) and a DO (Doctor of Osteopathy) is. In basic form: a DO has medical school training including a focus on the muscular and skeletal systems to treat problems throughout the body. They regard the body as an integrated whole,...
Dear Editor and readership: In my years living in this Valley and elsewhere, which includes several working in administration at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston, I have encountered few physicians like Dr. Bryan Kaiser. His combination of attention to current research, and to patient input, and sheer will to find solutions to patients’ problems is uncommon and to be respected and treasured. He has made a tremendous impact for the better on many residents’ lives in the short time that he has been here, with a genuine interest in diagnosis and a pa...
