Corruption in the health system
My latest review, cushy, with Dr N. Once we decided that my will is still good, he quickly typed up all the necessaries on a typewriter and happily lounged back in his chair. From his pocket he took a little white metal tin with “Viagra” written on it. He opened it, and nonchalantly urged me: -You want one? Inside were blue sweets. I hesitated a second, and he smiled. He was playing like some bratty kid! Damn it, he wouldn’t give me Viagra, he’s not really mad? Well, you never know, he’s a psychiatrist, maybe it’s catching. I take it back, screw it now. A sweet, blueberry. He just manages not to break out laughing: And so you tell me that I am corrupt, a slave of Sauron and the pharmaceutical industry! He pulled a wise face as if remembering something important. -Wait, that’s not all! I have loads of it. There’s almost no company that doesn’t bribe me! He opened one of the drawers and grilles, and thence pulled a whole handful of chemical pencils, jotters, publicity material… -Aha! Look. All their products! He winked with his eyebrows.
And he handed me a few pencils with the names of medications and jotters. -Take them, take them, dear Ludlud, I have a whole boatload! They just stuff me with them, the buggers!
I took a pencil, a jotter… Gosh, I thought, N. manages To surprise me every time. There I am, the patient, approaching the myth of the powerful doctor.
In the end we concluded that there was no need to see each other for the whole of November. But if he thinks that he has bought me, he’s kidding himself! Here, now I proclaim it, and I willingly denounce the traitor! I will hand over all the pencils and jotters. I just took one sweet, but it was just an ordinary sweet.
Maybe in the end I avoided the hard hand of power, but what I can’t avoid is a visit to Dr O… I had a colleague, long ago, who was a salesman for Viagra. He was a good, kind man, too, but he never gave us blueberry sweets!

Eh, pa to nije ništa čudno - čak niti ilegalno. Farmaceutske kuće se redovito reklamiraju kod svih vrsta liječnika pod krinkom informiranja o svojim lijekovima. Olovke i blokići su još ok. Gadno je kad počnu s "donacijama".

Najslađe su mi bile čokoladice upakirane u plastičnu bočicu nalik na onu za vitamine. Ali to nije bilo mitološki, nažicala sam od uvoznika.
