I currently work at one of the largest hospitals in the country. Can confirm! The corruption in the healthcare sector is disgusting and hard to fight. I blew the whistle and got retaliated against, in complete violation of CA law. Tempted to go to the press.

This is also what I don't understand. Why tempted? You should have done it already
Easy. Doing so is career suicide.
This is indeed what I've learned.
Career suicide would imply that the corruption you're talkin about is the kind that gets people arrested. At least tip off the appropriate agencies off the top of my head I don't know who you are but the FBI sounds like a good one
Nothing arrestworthy, but definitely shameful behavior of a high-ranking hospital official allegedly defrauding a large multinational company and attempting to shift blame to low-level employees that had zero involvement.

MDs no less! Forget the Hippocratic Oath!

Perhaps white-coat fraud is the equivalent of white-collar-crime in the public health world. Nothing matters more than the bottom line. Not even human lives.
