Sometimes I think I’m obsessed with the new hospital, but I do want to see the vote be successful. I’m concerned about the negative comments about bills, etc.
I have been in Iola for 50 years, so consequently I’ve been in and out of the hospital for several reasons, and believe me I’ve never been more pleased with the care and kindness shown to me and my family. I’ve also been in other hospitals, and I think the care here was as good or better than those places.
I remember one night I got real sick in the night and drove myself to the emergency room. (Now that wasn’t a smart thing to do.) But the point is, it was wonderful to know I didn’t have to go 30 to 50 miles to get attention.
I agree with Mr. Lynn that some people are just negative with life, but we need to get a positive attitude and make sure Iola gets a new hospital. It is very needed and the way they are paying is the most fair tax possible.
Thank you and vote YES for this on Nov. 2.
