This is a BIG VENT. Atul Gawande wrote an article in The New Yorker Magazine about chain restaurants and medical facilities called Big Med, praising the way chain restaurants provide good food and service. He made the following comment and then proceeded to denigrate hospitals and medical facilities. Grab your chairs:

I wrote my own letter to the Editor that will go out in the morning mail!

In the letter I wrote, I admitted to being a maniac - I GIVE FREE ROOMS to my City and the Lord's Pantry when they need them.
