Coss http://www.tvhe.co.nz/2008/02/24/caps-on-healthcare/#comment-952 Thu, 06 Mar 2008 05:05:18 +0000 http://tvhe.wordpress.com/?p=255#comment-952 While working as an Emergency Room RN In 1982, a man came in with a unique request. His father was back in Poland and had been retired. He had a prescription written in Polish for Cimetadine, (Tagamet) a now over the counter pill for ulcers. On that prescription were three numbers 10%, 50% and 100%, and the last one was circled.

The gentlemen explained to the ER Physician and I that because his father had been retired from the Communist government all his drugs were free (hence the 100% was circled meaning that the Government would pay 100%, the only problem was that there was no Cimetadine available.

Doesn’t sound much different to me… By the way, the doctor wrote him a prescription for 500 pill’s to be filled 50 times.

Isn’t choice wonderful?
