Re: Embarrassing experience at Nordea

No. Antibiotics work against bacteria. Antivirals are whole different stuff. HIV wouldn't have been that big deal if penicillin would have worked...
That's your only take-away from that story? Show some compassion.

Finnish "free" (what it is not!) healt care is a big joke! Move to the US, get sick, require weeks of hospitalisation and medication, look at the bill they send you, then you'll truly know how much of a joke a nation's healthcare system can be. Hell, just go to the ER for a broken toe and...
