Country Medicine




What the mouse saw.

How many farm families are served by small medical facilities?   Does anyone think about that?   One such not quite so small facility is the Borgess Pipp Hospital in Plainwell Michigan.   It was in the emergency room of this medical facility where a serious case of pneumonia was diagnosed to require admission to the main hospital twenty miles away.   Without the links between the small facilities and a major hospital, it is questionable whether proper diagnosis, and treatment would bring about the desirable result of recovery and return home.

So, once again home, recovering from a most memorable experience, there is the opportunity of viewing the silhouette of the Christmas Tree against the full misty winter moon.   A Christmas that will, though delayed, once again be celebrated with a most treasured family.
