- Former UTMB President Stobo defends proposed cuts to inmate care
- Conflict of Interest? Stobo under the microscope in Califoria
Reamy points out that when Dallas County contracted with UTMB under Stobo to provide medical services at the jail, it led to a series of successful lawsuits that ultimately cost them the contract. It's also interesting to me that Nuphysicia was hired as a cost-cutting consultant; when they were launched, the project was pitched as being a telemedicine service provider.

When people in the Galveston County jail are beaten up by officers, or when police officers beat civilians, UTMB does its best to avoid documenting the medical damage, and tries to scare the victims.
Sleazy organization. There's a particular place in hell for doctors who try to profit off of something like this. Here's hoping they are already there.
Want to clarify that many docs at UTMB are wonderful - it's those administrators in charge who will deny the requests for photographs, et cetera.
May God help the CA inmates if they run health care like UTMB does in TDCJ. Been there, done that, got the scars to prove it.
UTMB is a flawed system equally as the prison system. However, I agree with Grits that under his eye - many lawsuits resulted. What the running theme is that it appears that he "takes the money, destroys on the way, and runs".
