and so important, I should wait to post it on Friday, when you have the weekend
to read it. But here it is anyway.

Read it. Forward it to your doctor. Bring it to the attention of the personnel
department if your company buys health insurance.
Know anyone who
sits on the board of a hospital?
A lot of money –
and lives – could be saved.
