Now I see the flaw in socialist medicine. No bills. So they just let me slip away.
They had a sign at the doctor's office says only 2 complaints dealt with at a time. That's cause they get a flat fee for seeing you, and want you to come back. So I says, "Doc these 2 fingers hurt."

He thinks for a minute, "Why just those two". I said,

"Ill be back next week about the next 2, and after 5 visits you are going to find out they all hurt, but the sign says just 2 complaints per visit."

Bob (my doc) to me.."it's quitting time, lets go for a single malt and see how they are and I'll get an xray."

Single malt was good, xray said "Rhumatoid Arthritis, severe osteoporosis in left and, moderate in the right hand."

Bob says, "your drinking hand is holding up, but the other one might get better if you laid off the booze, and no golf."

There went my one bad walk in the country a year.

Got painkillers. Way more side effects than from them than the single malt, but the government pays for the pain killers. Asked for a prescription for single malt but am not holding my breath.
