“You're full of shit my dear. I'm the first to be critical on my country. But this is ridiculous.”
“As an Englishman who lives in France (Montpellier) I am constantly impressed by the their health system. For myself (having torn my groin playing rugby) and for my baby (hip problem). Sure, one pays for it in taxes - and they can be a bit neurotic at times - but give me the French system any day over the shambolic, antiquated, dilapidated chaos that passes for the NHS. I would be scared to go into a British hospital these days - for fear that I would emerge again only in a body bag courtesy of MRSA”
“My poor nephew had the incredible misfortune of breaking his arm in France 2 years ago.
I must say the hospital was ok really, not much complaint there. It was all IV lines and tubes up the nose for the little lad.
Anyways… what would you feed a kid who hasn't eaten for 48 hours, when the doctors say he can go back to oral foods and fluids?
hmmm… let me think: "je connais… a plate of cold ox tongue"
Poor kid, his parents had to sneak in cake and crisps.
On the way out, he asked his mum…
"Mummy, if i just broke my arm, how come my bottom hurts so much…?"
You've guessed it…every painkiller, sedative and antibiotic had been shoved up his nether region.”
“The French are obsessed with their health to the point of hypochondria. One observation I have made is that in any French town of any size you can ALWAYS see at least 3 pharmacies. The one you are standing outside off, one 100 metres to your right and one 100 metres to your left. They obviously hate to be too far from a ready supply of suppositories.”
