‘I Don’t Get It’
To the Editor:
I don’t get it!
On the front page of last week’s paper I’m smacked in the face with “MMH CEO leaves abruptly” then turn the section over and find the "Business of the Year award went to Morgan Memorial Hospital."
To read all this, all at once in the same little county paper was no doubt ironic, but the more I thought about it, it was also no doubt crazy!
I felt like I had fallen right down the rabbit hole and out of Madison altogether. Just when it seemed we were actually getting close to a hospital of our own, undoubtedly because of Mr. Jolley’s tireless efforts, I could envision the County Commission and Hospital Board, all dressed up like characters from Wonderland, running around willy-nilly screaming, “Off with his head, off with his head!”
I admit I’m confused and don’t know what’s going on. But whatever it is, it’s getting “curiouser and curiouser” and we, I fear, will end up back in the real world still driving 30 minutes to Athens (or Lake Oconee perhaps?) to go to a real hospital.
