Another example of “what goes around comes around” is evident in the latest ad campaign for Overlake Hospital Medical Center, saying “we think getting to a top cardiac center shouldn’t invocationlve 3 freeways and a toll bridge.”

Those of us ancient enough to have been here during fundraising to build Overlake Hospital (without “Medical Center”) back in the ’50s remember the influential ad showing an ambulance stuck in traffic trying to get to Seattle on the only floating bridge across the lake at the time, also a toll bridge then.

The number of roads and bridges has changed, but the rest of the message is pretty much the same.
