P.S. I was also born in this Hospital on 2/12/43 and have three bills from
then:

1. Hospital charges
a. Delivery room fee $5.00
b. Special medications $3.75
c. Special night nurses board $.75
d. Hospital care of 12 days $60.00

2. Physician, Fisk Brooks, MD $40.00

3. Registered nurse, Marguerite Baxter $6.00

Wouldn't we all like to pay those bills today?!
