What's the deal with hospitals advertising weird diseases on billboards? I was driving today and caught a billboard about Brain Attack from some stupid hospital in the Seattle area. What's up with that? What the hell is brain attack and why should I be worried? Should I visit said hospital on the billboard and get checked out to make sure I'm not suffering from brain attack ? Why do hospitals feel the need to cause hysteria about weird diseases people might not have ever heard of? Are they so desperate for money or new patients that they have to advertise something obscure on some billboard? Or am I just being weird?
