Subject: RE: BS: Eric the viking leaves Orkney
We have helicopters for that Charmian. They whisk them off to Raigmore hospital in Inverness. Anywho, Orcadians are hardy fowk, an tend to take an aspirin for a broken leg. Then go back out in the howling gales herding seals.
As a BTW, I am always totally amazed at the proliferation of antibiotics and painkillers there seem to be across the pond. Most of them have names I never heard of, but I ready to bet that many of them are the same thing under the coating. That's one of the drawbacks of privatised medicine. Change the name, up the price, maximise the profits. yes I know you have a good health service in Canada, I'm thinking more of south of the 49th.
