The health lottery

[eek]

My local shop has a sign outside that says 'the health lottery. Play here'

I hope this isn't a reference to any of their varied edible delicacies.

Its owned by a Mr R. Desmond. That should give you a good idea of its likely success rate. Wait for adverts to only appear on C5 and the Express ala Big Brother news stories this time around.

The small print, in case you don't get a chance to read it:

The Health Lottery: Contact your GP today, you may win one of the following prizes in hospital:

- A doctor who can understand more than one word in three of the English language
- A hospital stay without catching an unnecessary infection
- A nurse who doesn't remind you at least once a minute that she has a degree while complaining that changing your bandage is beneath her
- A wheelchair ride through the private part of the hospital where you're shown what you could afford if you weren't ill
- A debilitating illness that allows you to sue for at least £1m

There is also a special prize for those living in Inner London where you're given the choice between a clean bed or food that hasn't been spat in by the immigrant consultant neurosurgeon who is having to work as a hospital porter because he can't get a certification.

All yours for your national insurance payments. (Purchase not necessary if you've never had a job)

Could make a killing at kabab shops.
