NEWS: Click for Cooper Green

By Glenny Brock

MRIListen, people. If thousands of you can vote for Ruben and Taylor on American Idol, then you can take four effing minutes to sit through this silly music video about Cooper Green Hospital and cast a vote that means something.

Here’s the deal: Siemens is hosting a contest for one hospital in the United States to win a MAGNETOM Essenza 1.5T. That’s a fancy but affordable MRI scanner, a machine that uses magnetic resonance imaging to look (for lack of a better word) inside the human body and determine if tissue is healthy or pathological. The public hospital doesn’t have one but sure could use one and will get one if you vote here.

If you don’t care for the cause, let your sense of competition guide you: There are 100 hospitals in the running, and at this point, we’re in about 30th place.

You can vote once a day until Dec. 31. Go to www.winanmri.com for complete details.
