Healthcare Abroad

Papaia travels abroad for a conference, but during his stay he becomes very ill.

Igor takes him to the hospital. Seeing Papaia’s condition, the nurse examines him, but warns him that medical care is not covered.

As they are leaving, the nurse calls them back and hands Igor a box of paracetamol and a piece of paper with a phone number on it.

Igor
“Excuse me? What’s the number for?”

Nurse
“If the paracetamol doesn’t work, call the number and the hospital will come and collect the body.”

Igor
“Ah… I see…”

Papaia, pale and trembling, looks at the piece of paper.

Papaia
“Excuse me? Is the ‘service’ free?”

Nurse
“Basically, yes. The hospital provides the plot of land, but your friend will have to rent a shovel.”
