Arguments for a home town hospital urged by Dr McGrath

He outlined dangers of long travel, fear of strangers, isolation in large hospitals, infection risks, and legal liability. He argued a local facility staffed by familiar physicians and nurses reduces suffering and costs, and should be built in every town as large as Algona.
