Dear Finnish doctors:

There's nothing cool about pain. It doesn't build character. It doesn't bring you closer to any higher powers. It doesn't lead to philosophical epiphanies. At best, it increases your tolerance. More likely, it interferes with your eating and sleeping habits. All it has to do is keep you awake a few nights to convert you to a semi-useless and extremely unhappy lump of seething resentment. So, you know, if someone comes to you in agonising pain because of some kind of medical problem, and they can't even sleep, then I think that fucking ibuprofen is not really the answer. A good clue would be if they've already been taking ibuprofen and it didn't help. The beautiful thing about your medical degree is that all kinds of options for pain relief for your patients are available to you with the use of something called a prescription book, and many of these are ones they couldn't buy at the drug store without your help! If you want to earn acclaim and admiration from your colleagues and patients, you could even try using something strong enough to actually fight the pain!

An extra-special note to Finnish dentists: Try anaesthetic when performing root canals, oral surgeries, and even just your average cavity fillings! Your patients will like it and they won't become a) weaklings or b) hardened drug addicts, honest! Fuck sisu.

No love,
Cim

P.S. You guys aren't nearly as cool as the Finnish cops.

Trying to get money back from the state here is worse than dentistry without drugs. -___-
