((JON NESS/LEWIS GALE CLINIC EXEC. DIRECTOR: WE CANNOT COMMENT ON THE REASONS FOR THESE RESIGNATIONS AS THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT LEGAL IMPLICATIONS.))
[RUNS=05]
[OUT Q=LEGAL IMPLICATIONS]


Under pressure from patients and doctors to explain why hundreds of patients might lose their doctors, the Lewis-Gal
e Clinic would only say that it's concerned --- and that as long as Lewis-Gale, its doctors and its parent company are

in deep legal discussions - that's all anyone can say.
(/////SOT/////)
[SOT 2:26:30]
[IN Q=it is not]

((NESS: IT IS NOT THE INTENTION TO SAY THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE - THE PURPOSE OF THIS MEETING TODAY IS TO SAY THIS IS AN ISSUE, AND TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT.))
[RUNS=08]
[OUT Q=ACKNOWLEDGE THAT]
Legally, doctors say they can't talk about it either --- with their patients or with each other.


18 doctors are leaving, privately telling News-7 that the Lewis-Gale parent company PhyCor won't let them practice me
dicine the way they want --- and steals too much profit.
It's a complaint echoed in Internet chat rooms, where investors say the company is mismanaged --- that nationwide, "W
e don't know how many docs are leaving" PhyCor-operated facilities --- and that hurts stock value.


But at Lewis-Gale, the executive director insists the problem isn't with PhyCor, but with the health-care industry nationwide.

[IN Q=reimbursements]

((REIMBURSEMENTS WENT, COST OF PROVIDING CARE WENT UP . INSURANCE COMPANIES STARTED DICTATING WHERE PATIENTS COULD GO AND WHAT THEY COULD RECEIVE.))
[RUNS=09]
[OUT Q=COULD RECEIVE]


The Lewis-Gale clinic remains in what it calls "sensitive" talks with PhyCor AND Columbia - the company that owns adjoining Lewis-Gale MEDICAL CENTER.
The clinic wouldn't say why Columbia has entered the talks.
(/////SOT/////)
[SOT 2:31:28 ]
[IN Q=it doesn't]

((Scott Goldberg: It doesn't have something to do with doctors going from the clinic to the hospital? NESS: THAT'S POSSIBLE))
[RUNS=05]
[OUT Q=THAT'S POSSIBLE]
(--------------------)
[Live=Scott Full/Newsroom]


There's speculation Columbia is involved because it's talking about ways to buy out the doctor's contracts.
That would release them from a year-and-a-half noncompete clause that says they can't practice medicine in this regio
n --- and would let them move to the hospital.


But there are satellite clinics far away from Salem.
And if doctors can't get out of their non-compete clauses to work there ... as one doctor told us: "We just might have to pack up and move."
And we should note, Keith, there are 117 doctors at Lewis-Gale who HAVE not resigned --- who apparently don't have th

e same beef with PhyCor.
