On Friday afternoon Sanae and Cian went down to the local hospital for anti-flu shots. On Sunday morning Sanae returned to the same hospital where she was diagnosed with the flu (type A for all you pathologists out there). Now the paranoid conspiracy theorist in me suspects there is something afoot here. You get an 'alleged' flu vaccine costing close on 6o euros yet within 48 hours you are spending over 100 euros on a doctor's diagnosis and the medicines he's prescribed.
Coincidence, eh?
Nah, me neither. I reckon the massive medical-industrial complex is behind all this, the same shadowy enigmas who unleashed the ebola virus on us, hooked an entire generation on prozac, and convinced the world that smoking causes cancer.
Yeah, right. I'm onto you people now. Big pharma you'd better watch out. The Muroran Mulder is coming after you....
