A recent article in Consumer Reports giving low ratings to Wood County Hospital aren't telling the whole story, according to a hospital administrator.
"One of the things that has become very fashionable now is for parties to try to evaluate hospital care," said Wood County Hospital President Stan Korducki. "I can tell you it's not a simple thing."
"So, while I have a great deal of respect for Consumer Reports and have used it myself, I can tell you we have pulled apart their methodology for doing this one, and it's really, really inadequate."
The article, entitled "Your Safer-Surgery Survival Guide," appeared in the September issue of the magazine.
