Leave Pride at Hospital Door

This woman seems to have been insulted, and her husband angered, when she was told she was too big for the hospital MRI and she was directed to consider the Kansas City Zoo for the procedure.

The NC Zoo's well-equipped Frederic Moir Hanes, M.D. Veterinary Medical Center too has some equipment which can handle a "larger specimen"...and it has helped the local hospital.

If you are not well and want to get better, it is best to put pride aside. [I too had to wear one of those "backless gowns" into my little surgery (rotator cuff) in mid-December. It wasn't even "my color"!]
