When I read the letters to the editor on Aug. 29, and noticed comments made by Patsy McNutt Morgan of Richland regarding Kadlec Regional Medical Center, I felt compelled to add my comments in support of hers.

I have lived in the Tri-Cities since 1955, 30 of those years in Kennewick. Never, in all of those years, have I ever known Kadlec to be anything but the greedy, grasping conglomerate that it is. Kadlec is like the spoiled child who has too many toys and doesn't even want all of them but can't bear to share them with anyone else.

If it weren't so disgustingly pathetic, it would be funny. Grow up, Kadlec, and accept the fact that you aren't, and never will be, the only medical care facility in Tri-Cities. "Get outta Dodge," Kadlec, and while you're at it, take your clinic in south Kennewick on Highway 395 with you.
