Letter: University Hospital has some explaining to do, too

(Scott Sommerdorf | The Salt Lake Tribune) Gordon Crabtree, CEO of University of Utah Hospital speaks at a press conference held at the U of U Medical Center regarding policy changes resulting from the arrest of nurse Alex Wubbels, Monday, September 4, 2017.

I’m glad to see that Gordon Crabtree said University Hospital is doing everything in its power to support nurse Alex Wubbels. He stated that, “As the CEO of this hospital, I take this very seriously.”

Where was Crabtree back in July when this incident took place? Does Crabtree want us to believe that he was just made aware of the incident after the video was released. And, during the incident, was there not one hospital administrator or executive who could have come to the ER to intervene and support nurse Wubbels? The university police/mall cops were a joke.

University Hospital has almost as much explaining to do as the SLCPD.
