Quote:I like to refer to the picture of a Canadian billboard I saw for their health care system. It showed a doctor with quotation below which said, "The common cold lasts about a week. It lasts around 7 days if you see me."

It is possible to make a good thing too accessible.

 

Indeed.

 

Also, you can't get an appointment with your GP/Doctor here within a week.. there's a joke by one of our comedians which goes along the lines of..

 

Patient phones Dr's surgery and asked for an appointment..

Receptionist replies: 'our next available appointment is in 9 days time'

Patient replies: 'I'll be better by then'

Receptionist: 'well why are you botherting us then?'
