Those nutty Europeans and their socialized medicine
OK, this is someone whose expectations went a little too far:

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/dutch-man-tried-to-fire-nurse-who-wouldnt-provide-sex/article1497574/

A union representing Dutch nurses will launch a national campaign on Friday against demands for sexual services by patients who claim it should be part of their standard care.

The union, NU’91, is calling the campaign “I Draw The Line Here," with an advert that features a young woman covering her face with crossed hands.

The union said in a statement on Thursday that the campaign follows a complaint it had received in the last week from a 24-year-old woman who said a 42-year-old disabled man asked her to provide sexual services as part of his care at home.

The young woman witnessed some of the man’s other nurses offering him sexual gratification, the union said. When she refused to do the same, he tried to dismiss her on the grounds that she was unfit to provide care.

1. Pretty high expectations is an understatement.

2. So they think healthcare involves screwing
And we think it involves getting screwed.

3. I was wondering what to do if my levitra ever gave me one of
four hour erections. The commercials say seek immediate medical help but just what would they do about it?
Maybe that is what was going on there?

4. Health care decisions should
be between a patient and his nurse. Keep governments hand out of it.
