the young man

as you might know or maybe not, i am a doctor and certainly not an usual one, i am specialist in the cardio-vascular field; surely you are familiar with the procedure of undergoing an electrocardiogram of your heart. when you are blessed with an older age, and why shouldn’t it be your privilege, you remember still the fatty feeling of the cold paste from the tube, that was squeezed on your body at particular positions - about twelf pieces - exactly on the spots of the electrodes, eight suckers on the chest and four clamps on the arms and legs. indeed laborious but straight and delicious old-fashioned. what an unsavoury mess, fortunately there was already toiletpaper available at that time.

but good times changes and technics don’t standstill and so the old-fashioned clamps and suckers, who felt down from the body at regular times according to the law of murphy and exact at that time, that the electrocardiogram was running of course - for the more distinguished people under you to registrate - replaced by an advanced sucking and blowing pipe-system and the pasta or cream by an 20%-isopropylalcohol solution with the intention to clean the skin from smear and by doing so to improve the contact between the skin and the electrodes to obtain a better signal and thus a better electrocardiogram. this for the people who can’t read an electrocardiogram.

an electrocardiogram is what they call a standard investigation technic by wich you can diagnose several heart-diseases without upsetting the patients. and so i saw on a certain morning in my consultation-room a young man, who needed a so-called preoperative electrocardiogram because of an approaching teeth-extraction. of course you know for sure that this procedure is obliged by the national secret service, because they watches over your health like big brother. this is exactly the reason why this extractions had to take place under general anesthesia. besides this method prevents medical overconsumption under the condition that the whole set of teeth is extracted at the same time.

they call that prevention. and prevention is better than cure as you know. but if you have to appear in court for the fact that you have used to much prevention in the past, than you laugh at the wrong side of your mouth, because you will punished by the riziv, an effective and repressive governemental health organisation. there you are with your beautiful mouth full of teeth. the riziv is a skilful apparatus to kill honest and hard working civilians with one-person practices for the benefit of the local ocmw’s and universital hospitals, who are almost founded by the riziv itself or brooked by it. the institutions where the only real unalloyed overconsumption take place or had to take place. the reason is that there workes as twice as much officials than doctors.

with self-sufficient clinics the riziv talks behind closed doors, if u understand, what i mean. so that young man with some tooth asked me, after i had him sprayed with the 20%-isopropylalcohol solution and squeezed it on his chest - alcohol is so fluidly and falls so easy from your body – :”are u doing this with all your patients?”. obvious he pointed out to my female patients because of his twinkling eyes and i answered him:”no of cause not, i cut first the breasthair of maroccan and turkish people”. he looked at me amused and asked:”and the woman, doctor?”. i replied astonished:”have they also breasthairs?” and the young man felt laughing loud from the examination table on his mouth with the few tooth, and that i call real prevention;)
