One of Gov. Jeff Landry’s appointees to the LSU Board of Supervisors flew into a rage at LSU Health Shreveport when its staff would not perform a house call for her husband, threatening to fire multiple employees, according to a whistleblower complaint. She’s also the subject of other complaints that allege she harassed several employees and meddled in the day-to-day operations of the medical school.
Esperanza Moran, who openly rallied for the dismissal of former LSU Health Shreveport Chancellor David Guzick, is the subject of an anonymous whistleblower complaint, at least one Equal Employment Opportunity Commission complaint filed by top LSU Health Shreveport employees and a separate complaint filed to Landry by a top administrator.
According to an anonymous whistleblower complaint filed with LSU, Moran went to LSU Health Shreveport just days after being appointed to the board and “[caused] a public scene in outrage” that an employee was not permitted to treat her husband at Moran’s private residence.
“While causing the disturbance, Ms. Moran threatened to terminate staff and said she was the new chancellor and in charge of LSU Health Shreveport.”
Wow…
I’m not shedding any tears for med school students. You have to be rich to pay for it, and when they become doctors they’re going to be milking the system that denies care to the rest of us or overcharges for life saving surgery and drugs.
I hope they lick Ms. Moran’s feet.
I worked in a free clinic with some lsu people providing care. There are plenty of legacy med students who are like the 5th generation of doctors in their family, and in it for the money or just bc it was expected of them to go to med school, but there are some med students that actually care about helping people.
I ended up having to bring my own family to the clinic, and they actually received better care than they had anywhere else. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without their help.
Perhaps Ms. Moran could have taken her husband to that clinic with all the homeless and indigent patients being helped rather than a house call, but unfortunately over the last few months that clinic has come to a screeching halt for some reason. Even before the GOP admitted they would be making it harder for people to qualify for Medicaid. Almost seems like the healthcare systems in Louisiana were ramping down Medicaid acceptance in advance or something 🤔
Anyway, you can read about some of the going on in Louisiana healthcare here: Louisiana DOGE Secret Meetings May Have Involved Plans to Cut Medicaid-Updated

Oh fuck off, you’ll still expect care when you go to the hospital, and who do you expect to give it?
You can be mad at the system all you want, but this is a really stupid take. You’re also ignoring the large number of those students who are not rich and take on massive amounts of debt to go to med school.
