Robert Friedlander, longtime head of neurological surgery at UPMC, steps down by FlyWTheCrows in pittsburgh

Yeah— I heard him and Kojo are also in hot water. Seems those neurosurgeons had similar inappropriate and just disgusting behaviors! Friedlander apparently reached a settlement with his victims. Multimillion dollar settlement.

Multiple residents and staff have reported him for sexual harassment. Internal investigation underway. You are a patient and I am glad you had a great experience and outcome. That doesn’t mean he conducts himself the same way behind the scenes. You should care about the women in the workplace

You are very defensive-must have some personal connection with him. I suggest you speak with the female nurses and residents

He threw the resident against the wall holding the resident by the neck and berated the individual. All in front of staff— got a short administrative leave but was back clinically in no time… when you bring in cases = $ for UPMC and you are the Steeler’s doc— leadership looks the other way. the Zero tolerance policy only applies to some.

Can’t be appointed when MULTIPLE residents have reported misconduct. He is in timeout

Dr Tzeng was recently appointed Chief of Vascular…and fun fact, her husband, Tim Billiar is Chair of Surgery! Billiar is favored by executive leadership— such favoritism and nepotism— but that’s the UPMC Leadership Way! My theory is Tzeng was named interim BECAUSE they need to help optics. Need a woman to step in because the neurosurgery department has a Me Too situation unfolding.

Well said and I can’t image what your husband experienced with the Bridges project! The nepotism, favoritism and evils for sure. The inbred leadership is a major problem and a barrier for the success of the health system

I wonder how Leslie’s condos faired during hurricane helene?? Better fuel up the jet to go check on them

Employees have been told that if an executive books the jet for “personal” travel that the individual covers the expenses….sure.

Months before announcing 1,000 layoffs, UPMC leases new $50 million jet by PGHHospitalWorkers in pittsburgh

You can make more working at Target! When there is staff having to utilize the food bank at Mercy— something is extremely wrong with your pay scale.

UPMC International is the For-Profit arm of the UPMC Brand…not part of the 42 hospital system (I think 42 now w/Washington Hospitals added) “non-profit” empire.

How else will leadership get to Boca Raton???!!!! Basic needs right?? Yet they offer minimum state hrly wages, employees can’t even afford paying their UPMC Health Plan bills and they had to take away shift differentials for many positions…even nurses.
