[edit] Neutrality - early life

The section about serving wine & cheese in the trailer park is not what I would call neutral. It's playing on a stereotype of what people living in trailer parks are like and what they should or shouldn't serve to their guests. Mooveeguy 19:03, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

The company didn't have rapid growth due to bad accounting, it was actually a very solid company, and experienced true growth. Then, desires such as being the first company to operate hospitals in all fifty states, the company was driven into the red; which is when the bad accounting began. It's a perfectly good company, and very well developed, I don't think its entire existance should be credited as a product of poor accounting. We also need to add the SEC trial, and him being indicted on bribery and conspiracy to give healthsouth control of a state hospital board. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.62.194.58 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Career and HealthSouth

Why is there no mention of his leaving Healthsouth? Or of his refusal for several years to step down as a boardmember? I appreciate that it would be difficult to properly cite such inflamatory issues, but the article just does this weird segue from "growing the company" to "fighting legal battles". --138.26.82.53 (talk) 00:50, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Just plain "making sense" - Legal Battles - Birmingham trial

"Five consecutive HealthSouth chief financial officers had all pled guilty to fraud and each of them implicated Scrushy, but Scrushy was acquitted on all 36 counts that were brought against him.[1]

On June 28, 2007, Scrushy was sentenced to 82 months in federal prison, three years probation, $267,000 in restitution and a fine of $150,000."

So after he was acquitted of everything that he was charged with, they sentenced him to 82 months in prison?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.67.20.49 (talk) 20:37, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
