Jobs for the boys

I'm a child of the NHS (The UK's National Health Service). The NHS is publicly funded, so we were always encouraged not to "over-consume". "Got flu? Stay at home, and let the doctor see someone who's really ill...." You get the idea.
Get out of here you contemptible waste of NHS resources
I have to do this every time
Here in Japan, it's all about jobs for the boys.  You can't get so much as a tube of haemorrhoid cream until you've been examined by a specialist, and no repeat prescriptions either!

Actually, that might not be such a bad thing, since the pharmacists here don't have a clue. My wife went to one when she had thrush, and came out with a tube of steroid cream!
