One last "gasp" - pun intended??  List readers, if you missed this post go
back and read it!

Tess, thanks for the laugh!  This reminds of what else has been posted along
these lines - when you put the justifications into any other health context,
it seems ridiculous!

May I have permission to share this with friends?  I think this should go up
on some pro-bfg websites.

thanks,

Michelle Bentley CLE

Subject: One last gasp about sample packs


All the discussion about sample bags got me to thinking about what kind of
response the hospital would get if other floors handed out "gift/sample
bags"
.....
"Healthy Heart and Lungs Success" gift packs will be handed out on the
cardiac and respiratory floors.  They lovely red bags will be emblazoned
with the logo "M---oro" and contain Nic----te gum to help smokers stop,
free samples of cigarettes, literature from Phi---p M---is on how to stop
smoking, coupons for bacon, cigarettes, fast food plus a card to join the
cigarette company "Healthy Heart Club."  When post-MI patients join the
club they will receive a monthly newsletter with stories and articles about
quitting smoking, exercise and living a healthier life as well as coupons
for free and cents off of tobacco products.

   Tongue
planted very firmly in cheek. ;-P
