When Lindy Richardson Street interviewed in 1993 with then-Columbia Healthcare Co. CEO Rick Scott to be the company’s director of marketing and communications, she was still shaking off the effects of a distressing professional experience. To her disbelief, the federal government had indicted one of her associates at another company.

The ordeal — intensive investigations and depositions and public fallout — was draining. Street was not part of the alleged conspiracy, but its effects consumed her for months. She never wanted to confront a similar experience again.
So when Street started her interview with Scott, she told him: “I have to tell you, if you ever ask, hint at it or suggest to me, or if it smells or feels like it’s illegal or immoral, I won’t do it, and furthermore I will tell people you did.”
Street pauses.
“I never had to remind him of that conversation,” she says today. Street worked side by side with Scott from 1993 until he resigned from Columbia-HCA in 1997.

“This is a very good read and clear insight into Rick Scott and what really happened with the hospitals and alleged medicare fraud.”
He’s a crook in my opinion. I was at HCA when he took over and when he left to ‘spend more time with his family’.
what evidence do you have that he’s a crook? what part of the article is wrong or untrue?
From the article (a quote from the Miami Herald): “Whether or not Scott was aware of his company’s questionable conduct, the breadth of the problems raises questions about Scott’s leadership, management experts say.”
Replace "Scott" with "Obama" and "company's" with "administration's" and calculate the odds of the Miami Herald printing that statement!
If you really worked for HCA then you know who forced him and why not the DNC Lies your peddling here .
I was around and worked with HCA ands know the real story and not the crap your peddling.
Do you DNC trolls ever stop ? So feel free to tell the truth and not this tired Stink
propaganda.
There’s the wrath of Hillary and Frist got his company back.
“Do you DNC trolls ever stop ? So feel free to tell the truth and not this tired Stink propaganda.”
Yeah, I’m a DNC troll and I’ve been lurking here since 99’. Like I said, in MY Opinion he’s a crook. I was at HCA from 85’ until 97’.
Yeah , right.
How was he crook?
If you worked at HCA tell me about the REAL reason for the whistle blower suit and where it was located ????
Scott wanted to fight these phony whistle-blower suits but the Frist family wanted their company back ( Sen Frist wanted to issue to go away) and the Rainwaters wanted their stock price to go so they could divest of their holdings.
And Hillary wanted REVENGE.
