interesting group dynamics there. almost everyone feels utterly alienated, but then they come together. like one flew over the cuckoo's nest, but less crazy.

It's a bit funny: a couple of weeks after you go to one, they send you a letter in the mail asking for money.
No, I don't know if that happens everywhere. But it did here, twice.
Mom's letter from the Jewish General: "You had a biopsy here. Was a tolerable process? Were you treated well? If so, please donate to our foundation!"
Dad's from Lachine Hospital: "We bandaged up your arm. The bandages were good. Now it's time to give us money!"
...Okay, so these appeals weren't personalized. Nor so direct.
And you can't really blame them when Quebec is what it is for health care funding.

Pah, I'm writing like everyone's from Montreal. I mean Jewish General *Hospital*.
I guess that's obvious from the context. Still, I remember hearing the phrase without "hospital" attached and being confused for a second. Then I imagined someone thinking, "Who's he and why does it matter that he's Jewish?"
(Weird, the "he" - I guess I still assume men higher up in military hierarchies.)
And then my mind jumped to the Dreyfus that Emile Zola wrote about: was he a general? Some officer, anyway. It mattered that he was Jewish because bigotry motivated the people who falsely accused him of treason (prompting Zola to write "J'Accuse" in response).
In sum: if hospitals' appeals for funding DON'T help you recall half-remembered bits of 19th-century French history, they're not doing it right.
