For anyone who thinks it's a shame the state drove out a hospital company that was willing to invest more than $400 million here, all might not be lost. A top Tenet Healthcare executive, point man in the Dallas-based chain's effort to take over five Connecticut hospitals, will return to the state late this week or early next week to have a talk with Senate leaders. It's not new negotiations, it's just a conversation. But it's something, and that's better than nothing if it helps revive a deal that could make sense for Connecticut's ailing collection of hospitals.
