LETTER

EDITOR

Dear Sir: I have a few remarks to make concerning the tizzy that some people have gotten themselves In about the (so called) doctor shortage in Graencastle. I am not informed on this subject at all but I do have my own opinion, and judging from the calibre of some of the "Letters To The Editor” that have been printed on thin subject it would seem that having an opinion is about the only requisite condition for a letter. Now in the first place I say: "What is there to holler about?” Seme towns, admittedly smaller that Graencastle —but etUI towns—have no doctor at all. And other towns have me or twq doctors for a time and then they move on some place where they have a greater opportunity to use their training and skill to the fullest advantage, both to them and to humanity as well. To want to batter one’s position is human nature and doctors, whether sqme people have the ability to appreciate It or not, are human beings. So, as I have said, I am not Informed on the subject, and certainly do not have knowledge of nearly as many facts as some of these people claim to have in their letters, but I do honestly fed that Greeneaatle will survive this (so called) doctor shortage if the people will just use the good judgment that God gave them and think positive instead of running and sticking their heads in a hole in the ground like the Ostrich. On second thought perhaps some of our disquieted and uneasy citizens could be helped if another doctqr would come to Greencastle—a qualified psychiatrist Then the rest at the doctors could utilize all of their knowledge and skill helping the sick and injured. In closing, for the benefit of the really concerned people, I would like to mention son^thing they may be overlooking. Greencastle has a very excellent emergency facility in the Fire Department Rescue Truck and Crew. These dedicated men have saved many lives and are to be earnestly praised. We all should have the greatest admiration and appreciation for them. They are always willing and able to be of assistance in administering aid and comfort and helping people reach medical help in times of critical emergency. I think we should all consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have a good hospital, good doctors, the rescue truck, and other emergency services including the Physiciar* — Surgeons Exchange, and the ambulances. Edgar S. Boatright
