Union Physicians
As if the thought of having to deal with a socialized single payer government run healthcare system wasn’t enough to keep you up at night, now you can stare up at the ceiling contemplating having to see a unionized doctor.
Are doctors only going to see a fixed number of patients a day since that is what the union rules state? Are they going to go on strike when management won’t cave into their needs? Are incompetent doctors going to be shielded from disciplinary actions by their union stewards?
This is just another step in the insidious march toward a third-world medical system. At least we can all expect the same level of healthcare – albeit lousy – but it will be equal, unless you are a politician or a true progressive believer.
The Mandarin, whose real name is 吏恆, joined the order in 1309, and introduced the Gormogons into England during the 18th Century.
The Mandarin enjoys spending time with his pet manticore, Βάρἰκος, or Barry (who can be found in the Bestiary). When not in the Castle…well, frankly, nobody is quite sure where he goes.
The Mandarin popularized the fine art of “gut booting,” by which he delivers a powerful kick to the stomach of anyone that annoys him. Although nearly universal today, the act of gut booting or threatening someone or something with a gut boot is solely due to him.
