Ely needs an MRI
Ely's hospital (Ely-Bloomenson) is in serious need of a new MRI...but these suckers are 'spensive!
Fortunately they're in the running for a new machine, but here's the catch: there's an online contest to award some lucky community hospital the new machine.
it runs on votes (of course) so naturally, the hospital with the most votes wins...
SO...community conscious PDDers...head on over to WELY.com and click the link, watch the vid and vote...
please.

The video is very funny, but...hospitals entering a contest to win needed equipment? Since when did health care become a game show?

Why does one community deserve adequate health care equipment more than another? I don't understand.

What, do you want adequate health care in every community, regardless of patients' economic status?
That sounds painfully close to socialism, redigu ... OK, nevermind ...

game show or not.
a small hospital like that could never afford to purchase an mri. I think it is a great idea.
keep voting!

I've voted a few times, but in discussing this with someone elsewhere they mentioned that other places that have received MRI machines under similar circumstances have had difficulty in paying for training and upkeep. I wonder if this would be an issue here as well?

if that comes to be the case, I'm sure Ely would whip up a couple of pancake breakfasts and have it done in no time. They're kinda like that up there.
