Plentywood, Montana
Dear Sirs:-
In a couple of previous issues of
your paper 7 have noticed that you
have said things about the hospital
that were entirely uncomplimentary
to that institution.
| am surprised at your terrible in
consistency as a few years ago when
Doctor Steele was leaving brentwood
you made some very scathing re-
marks in your paper about that gen
tleman. Now you side right in with
him, laUd him to the skies. and even
print articles written by him. Also
your inconsistency further strikes me
in that you are settled in brentwood
yet seem to like things in Outlook
and vicinity better. If you like things
there better why did you ever settle
IN Plentywood, Outlook was only
about 20 miles from there.
In regards to the hospital; the peo-
pie of Plentywood worked hard to
get that much needed institution and
got the best nurses possible. When
was there to get my second son
Michael, ! could not have wished for
any better care. And from what l
have talked to the people of Plenty
wood thew seemed satisfied with the
way the hospital was run and didn't
see what business a drunken, "sport
house edition" of a doctor had to do
with the management, and as for the
nurses stealing his patients you know
man can even dream that he has
seen snakes when he is drunk. AS
for Doctor Campbell the people think
that he was wheedled into taking the
attitude that he now takes and is
more to be pitied, for being misled in
such a fashion, than anything else.
They seem to feel that he has his
family here and is just cutting his
own throat and taking the bread out
of his children's mouths by fighting
an institution which would ordinari-
ly bring him trade.
Furthermore I feel that the money
of this country should be for the
people who are in it and have been
loyal enough to remain in it through
the hard years, and not for the peo-
pie who made a fortune here and
West or East as the case may be and
lost it then come back here to recoup
their losses.
It also seems significant to me that
while Doctor Steele was here there
was always trouble between the doc
tors. While Doctor Steele was here
in former years there was only one
doctor, within the writer's memory,
that he ever got along with. That
was Doctor Lewis who was Doctor
Steele'S partner About a year after
Doctor Steele left the doctors man.
aged to get along fine between them
selves but now that he is back it
seems that they will have to fight
again. This is truly a deplorable sit
uation.
1t also seems to the point to the
incompetency, or unfair methods of
Messrs. Steele and Campbell when
one lady whom Doctor Storkan dag
nosed as having diphtheria and "your
worthless" apparently to discredit
Doctor Storkan, diagnosed the case as
water blisters on the throat died last
week of las taken from your own
columns) diphtheria.
very much desire that you print
this in your paper, if no where else
in the department called "the Letter
Box"
Yours truly,
MILLY FTNKLEBAUM.
P.S.-Please ask Doctor Steele for
me if being a couple of months be-
hind in his rent didn't have some
thing to co with his moving from the
hospital.
