PennBF, I accept that this is your reasoning, just as I am sure that you will accept that my reasoning is different and that I cannot fathom yours. If what you said were conceivably true, which IMHO I doubt, then the POA WOULD have had the courtesy to respond to my email to them (after all, they were the ones who asked for stories about experiences with the hospital) and WOULD have been happy to acknowledge my story while taking credit for it. But no, to have done so would have detracted from their agenda of beating down the hospital and implying that there is not a single positive experience to be had there!
All one has to do is read the stories that the POA selects for publication and the headlines about the hospital in the
POA Newsletter. They claim to want ALL stories, but this is simply not true; all they want are the negative ones. We have a fair number of friends in TV who know of my accident, my hospital experience, and my sharing the story with the POA in response to their asking for stories of personal experiences at the hospital, and who, like ourselves, have carefully examined particularly the last two issues of the POA Newsletter looking for any reference to my positive experience, only to have found nothing but what was referred to during the cold war as “the party line.” My wife and I are joiners and activists, but the overt negative agenda of the POA is totally alienating to us....
