Watcher's DMH BS Ad of the Week 3/28/06
This BS Ad of the Week goes to the radio commercials DMH is putting out talking about cancer patients.
I don't know about you, but the first thing *I* would think of if I wanted screened by any type of cancer is not a hospital! (And especially a hospital being investigated by the FBI, mind you!)
The first person I would think of would be my FAMILY DOCTOR. After that, it would be the cancer doc and maybe a surgeon. BOTH OF THESE SPECIALIST PHYSICIANS PRACTICE AT BOTH HOSPITALS.
DMH being responsible for patients' success in cancer treatment makes as much sense as saying WalMart is responsible for your ability to eat supper tonight simply because they sell groceries. Cancer care, before and after the surgery, ARE IDENTICAL AT BOTH HOSPITALS.
The other thing that is laughable in these commercials is the patients' statements saying they were glad they "chose" DMH. More than likely, their DMH financed surgeon probably steered the patient towards DMH or perhaps "cancelled the surgery at St. Mary's because they wouldn't have an opening for a month."
It's kind of like the land-slide election results Soviet Premier's used to get in their "elections."
If Ken Smithmier is trying to make DMH look like they are God's gift to Decatur, they are way off the mark.

Does anyone know any of these people who appear on the billboards or on the radio ads? How much were they paid by DMH to make the ads?
Sounds like old-fashioned advertising to me. I don't believe a word of it, but it sounds just like advertising.
I think the Karate instructor guy is real, but I don't know about anyone else.
Whoever staged his picture didn't do a very good job; you NEVER wear a watch during martial arts.
