Christchurch Hospital
Sir, — The predjudice of Professor Zeppa towards parts of Christchurch Hospital, however justified, does not excuse the pride he has in his own country’s hospitals. He neglects to mention that whereas in New Zealand people can still afford hospital treatment and patients can still receive free medical and surgical care, in the United States the exorbitant charges of hospitals and the enormous fees extracted from patients must surely mean that the patient is a secondary consideration to the medicos of America, where people per-
haps face bankruptcy when they or their families become ill. if they are not sufficiently covered by medical and surgery insurances. —Yours, etc., ROSIE WITTY. May 9, 1979.
