Just something I have noticed recently that really highlights the welfare society we live in and the 'grab-all' attitude of our citizens. These citizens are the same ones that cry foul at every single whisper of a rumour about corruption.....
A patient comes into the pharmacy. They have had their medical card recently withdrawn and are now a private patient and have to pay for everything (up to a max of €100 of course). But now that they have to pay they will tell you that "I don't really need the first two" or "It's only the fourth one that I actually take". Basically what they are saying is that when someone else (ie the taxpayer) is paying for their drugs they are more than happy to get everything and anything, even if they don't need it. And if they don't take it they will stockpile it in a cupboard.
It never seems to occur to them that the money that they are now 'saving' by only taking the drugs they really need the state has effectively been wasting for the last number of years. But hey, since it wasn't their money why give a shit? And lets not even get started on the future health problems, and costs, that they may be open to by not taking their prescribed drugs.....
