...We are inundated with it. We cannot get away from it, and seemingly, we cannot do without it.
But hospitals?
Why do hospitals advertise?
Shouldn't they be spending their money on other things besides advertising?
I mean, if I am sick, perhaps sick enough to require a ride to the emergency room, then I suppose I don't really care to which hospital I am transported, so long as whichever one I end up at has competent people who will work hard to fix me.
I mean, if I am sitting in front of my TV, and see an advert for Hospital X, and then I suddenly fall out (a Southern term, for all you Yankees looking in) do I tell the Paramedics that I want to go to Hospital X because I just saw a commercial for them?
Really. If my Doctor recommends a specialist at a particular hospital, I will likely take his advice, and not because I saw that hospital on TV.
Sure, one hospital may birth babies better. (Don't know how, but some claim they do.) Some may be better at helping you after your heart attacks you. Others can offer superior stroke care.
Doesn't matter to me. Just get 'em off the air. One less thing I gotta' watch.
Next up? The local (and national) auto dealers spots. I hate 'em.
See you tomorrow.
