C. in writing, pleate refrr to Ad Ao. &W other day that the word "hospital' sprung front the Greek word "hos pitality," and'she orlrr know what! she's talking about. It you'll think about it. those words do sound like they have the same root and de rivative. But when I went to the hospital a lew years ago 1 wasn't shown the kind of hospitality that I under- j stood was common among common folks in the country. The first I thing they did to me was simply astounding. If not surprising. They made me shed all my nice clothes, and handed me a little old shirt with no tail to It, and minus a back, and It had to be tied hi the rear with strings instead of being buttoned in front with buttons, f never felt so undressed In ail my life when I had to wear it in front of all them good-looking nurses. And the next thing they did to me wfl.s -Jerk me out of the bed. shirt and all, and load me on to a cot with wheels on it, and roll me d^wn the hall at about US' miles per hour, and ooze me into a room full of doctors, nurses, and bone Inters They razored me and knif ed me and sawed me and cut me all to pieces, and when 1 woke up a few hours later I weighed 23 pounds less, and felt like a gum boil. Aboyt 450 dollars worth of my diaphragm had been severed and released. And that's what they call hos pital hospitality. The only thing that didn’t r.clte about me for the next 10 days was a vylmkcr on, my neck. 1 felt like i hnd trim run over by a caterpillar traetqi and soaked in ITcd Dcvsl lye. The first thing I missed was my back-1 bone. It had been cut out^lrom Dan to Beersheba. but that war hospitality A few days later. I; began to miss some of my in- j nards. I hurt so bad from my knees up 1 thought once of calling a lawyer. Of course, nobody w.>uld think! ol doing without a hospital. I dear ly loved the place alter X got where I could hold the nurses hands while they were taking my temperature. and I think there's where hospitality begins—and fre quently ends. I found the rates a little high, and have alwdya thought that if the hospital would make tjargain rates that there wqhld he a great deal more sick- ’ ness. When a man has to pay from 10 to 20 dollars a day to b sick, he simply gets well and i goes on back to work. J Hospitals are emanators of i I much conversation. People gen I crally, and women especially, de 1 light to tell about the gall stones ' they have parted with, and the I ! appendixes they donated, and the . liver and lights they hired a fel | low to cut out, and then there are j wons to be measured that are no more, and various other things. But after all, I've got my doubts | about the word "hospital” spring ing from the verb "hospitality.'’ i'Financial rehort of no n I F NI) FROM JANUARY 1ST .'FIST, 1928.
