I had a catscan today. I thought it might be a big deal, so i decided to go ‘small’ and chose the little clinic in Rishon Lezion. I was right – it took me less than a week to get an appointment, and as soon as i walked in I was called in to fill out the papers. Within 20 minutes we were on the way home with the disk in hand. How was the experience? There was a man and a woman in the room – i didn’t have time to see much about them. The man held my hand and the woman told me to clench my fist. Then he said to release, and I released his hand. “Don’t let go of Me!” he said, “You have the magic touch!” The little touch of gratuitous humor was so relaxing that the five minutes or so i spent inside the machine seemed like nothing.

You can’t tell me that the medical system here is primitive. And the humanity of the staff always improves everything.
