We have been helping terminally ill individuals in the Scugog area for a few years now and in that regard we are in the process of changing our name to Hospice Uxbridge Scugog. There are now over 50 com- munity hospices in Ontario. Strength should be prerequisite To the Editor: Comments on police, ambu- lance, etc. at a vehicle accident. Thanks to good citizen David Murphy of Caesarea. He stopped to help at a vehicle acci- dent and subsequently gave his name to police as a witness. The drivers immediately behind me didn't stop. Were they just too selfish? Did they lack confi- dence? Were they just in too big a hurry to be concerned about a fellow citizen? Whatever it was, we could certainly do with fewer of them and more David Mur- phys. Brian's Towing was just be- hind Mr. Murphy and called 9- 1-1. He and Mr. Murphy went to aid the other driver who was in- jured. Fortunately, my seatbelt and airbag saved me from inju- ry although both vehicles had to be written off. The ambulance arrived quickly, but even before exam- ining the injured driver, who was cut about the head and face, one attendant said "he looks pretty big, do you think we can have help to get him into the ambulance or should I call for another ambulance." I said, "Good heavens, don't call an- other ambulance, we'll get him in." I would estimate the victim to be about 220 pounds. I believe in equal opportunity but I think strength, in this case, should be a requirement. I am sure it is difficult at times to get a person onto a stretcher but I wonder how often two am- bulances have to respond so sist in getting a victim onto a stretcher? Perhaps they too feel that where ambulance atten- dants are concerned, strength should be a requirement. (In this case, the victim walked to the ambulance.) My thanks to the two police- men who responded. One drove me home with personal belong- ings from my car. The other, Constable Mann, provided me with a bandage at the scene and later telephoned, providing me with all the details my insu- rance company would need. A special bouquet to Brian's Towing. Their driver called 9-1- 1, assisted the injured driver and then, after towing my vehi- cle to their yard, went through it collecting personal effects I missed. He even found my watch which had been torn from my wrist. Dorothy at Brian's Towing was also a pleasure to deal with. My thanks to all.

Sincerely, Betty Bignell Doctors'slighted To the Editor: While not universally true, this rhyme seems somehow ap- propriate this week. My father translated it from 16th Century German and gave it to me on entering medical school. "God and the Doctor men adore, When troubles come, but not be- fore. Troubles gone and all things righted | God is forgotten and the Doc- tor's slighted." Sincerely, Doctor Ralph M.
