Milliollaire Percy Ross is known for his philanthropic work. He offers help
and encouragement for those in need. He has earned a fortune and a
wealth of knowledge during his lifetime and wants to share both.
His motto: " He who gives while he lives,., also knows where it goes. "
Backside Exposure Is No Laughing Matter
Dear Mr. Ross: Recently I was very disappointed
by a comment that you had written in a response. The
letter was from Ms. Y. L. of Tempe, Arizona. She had
requested money to purchase robes and nightgowns
for her disabled mother. To quote you, "Hospital gowns
were designed as a cruel joke, allowing the nursing
staff to have a cheap laugh." What an outragel I have
been practicing nursing for five years and that state-
intervened. I'm now on medication and can see the
proverbial light at the end of the tunnel. I've missed a
lot of work in the process, let bills slide to a screeching
halt and pretty much made a financial mess. Wouldn't
you know my car insurance had lapsed when I got in a
minor fender bender. I count my lucky stars that the
police didn't need to be invblved. But it got me thinking
how dangerous it is to be without insurance. Finan-
ment really took me aback, especially coming from cially, it could ruin a person for life. So, I'm appealing

readers who are nurses. I know in this day and age of
political correctness that it seems like we walk on
eggshells with virtually everyone, but in some cases it
is not a matter of a currant fad-it is a matter of choosing
your words wiselyl
Ms. J. B .... Community Newspapers, Wayne, MI
Dear Ms. B.: lapologtze. Itwasn't myintentlon
to take a cheap shot at the nursing profession. So
many nurses wrote to explain the practical design
of hospital gowns for administering care, etc. So I
had a bid experience years ago and was humili-
ated. Get over it, right?
The bulk of you gals and guys are wonderful at
your profession and are to be applauded. Funny
thing, thought, I didn't hear from one doctor, physi-
cal therapist, registered dieUcian, X-rsy tech or
ph lebotomist in defense of you nurses. Could it be
that perhaps they also had a good laugh at your
expense? Again, my apologies,
Deer Mr. Ross: i don't quite understand how I got
to this terrible place, but some time ago I arrived at the
station and can't seem to get back. No, I haven't
chafiged physical locations. I've fallen into a terrible
depression and in my fall I've brought everything down
with me. Thank God for a concerned co-worker who

Dear Mr. J.: Now that the grips of despair have
released you, welcome back to reality: the land of
pay the freight. Let me share an insight. When
financial troubles begin, this is how people who
write me prioritize expanses from least to most
important: car insurance, dental work, medical
attention, clothes, utilities, phone, rent and finally
food. Some people approach me at the beginning.
Other people's pride goes before the fall and they
wait until they are homeless. Congratulations on
pushing your pride aside because you are now
insursd-vehicle wise for the next year.
Dear Mr. Ross: I would like to be on the bone
marrow donor list. One small hitch--a $70 charge to the
potential donor for the initial blood work. All other
expenses are paid by the recipient if I am fo~Jnd to be
a match. I just don't have the $701 Could you help?
Mrs. F. R .... The Enterprise, Lynnwood, WA
Dear Mrs. R.: A small request, but such a life-
giving one. By way of my modest $100, please
register yourself as a bone marrow donor. May the
lucky recipient step forward to receive your mar-
velous gift-truly a gift that keeps on givingl
