University of Iowa Hospital

We spent most of the day last Thursday at the University of Iowa Hospital. With all the various departments we went to we saw most of the hospital. It was staggering to imagine how many people are sick and need care from there. It seemed like everywhere we went we overheard the word radiology and radiation. So I’m assuming many people were there because of cancer. It was very sobering to consider so many people are much worse off than myself. I feel for them and have no words to help those who are afflicted with those conditions. Say file
Most sobering was seeing the new 10 story Children’s Hospital. It is huge. Staggers me to consider that many children with serious conditions. Children should not have serious medical conditions. Growing up everybody I knew was in good health. One next door neighbors younger child had had heart surgery and was limited. That was that as far as bad health and he had a fairly normal upbringing. I’m glad for the hospital to help but thinking of that many that needed is a little agonizing. God bless all those families so afflicted. I cannot imagine the difficulties that they will face.
