I was at AGPNY today, and dropped off a doll at the hospital.
I requested that they DO NOT replace the neck strings... please make a note... please make sure... please... GOT IT???!!!

And then the nice lady at the desk tells me: "don't worry, they are not doing the plastic ties any more at the hospital, people did not like them."
So I asked for confirmation, and another of the ladies at the hospital desk confirmed that the plastic ties are being phased out!!!!

Yipee!!!! They listened!!!
(crosses fingers and waits!!!)
