Maybe you have already seen this. Two hospitals are running ads in this week's TIME magazine (the issue with the elephant's a** on the cover
) I've scanned part of the CC ad and will try to upload it for you.
Frankly, I was taken aback by this ad. It's very high end, executive appeal.....2 page. The letter reads
"To: Anyone eyeing my corner office
From: Laurel, who'e just been diagnosed with an aneurysm.
Don't even think about it.
And don't play with any of my desk toys.
I'll be back next week.
Stronger than ever.
And if anyone's been sitting in my new Italian leather chair
there'll be hell to pay.
I'll be checking my e-mail right up to the operation.
And a few days later I'll be discharged.
Don't bother sending flowers or grapes.
I'll see you Monday, bright and early.
Love, Laurel
Below this "letter" it reads....... Cleveland Clinic is recognized internationally for its leadership in the repair of complex aneurysms. Our surgeons have achieved excellent outcome statistics using innovative, minimally invasive techniques. Find the confidence to face any condition at www.ClevelandClinic.org/LettersToTomorrow or call 1-866-244-9746. Then the CC logo is beside that.
WOW.
Then 20 pages later is a UPMC ad (based in Pittsburg and "ranked among the nation's best hospitals by US News & World Report. www.upmc.com 1-800-533-UPMC. This one is one page and has an older woman peering through her hands which are semi-folded in the shape of a heart. Sepia tone. IT reads:
Cardiac research that gets to the heart of world-class care.
"At UPMC, we didn't become a national leader in heart failure care and research by simply perfecting the latest treatment methods. We're finiding new ways to improve and extend patients' lives. We have advanced diagnostic tools to detect heart disease in its early stages and if surgery is necessary, our surgical specialists are highly experienced in valve repair and replacement. Our transplantation program is world-renowned and our researchers will continue to investigate techniques such as gene therapy and tissue engineering to allow the heart to someday repair itself."
What do you guys think??
