Chapter:

Remember, your blood pressure may go up as well as down. Your kidneys may be at risk if you do not keep up the payments.

I suppose this comic is nothing new in places where there’s no free, national health service. But in the UK we used to have one, that all of us were proud of (excepting the present government, of course.)

And I don’t usually do political satire. But I did so much want to use the sentence “your illness is important to us.”

*Sir David kindly sat at the opposite end of the restaurant to us, to protect our anonymity.

↓ Transcript
No, Sir, I regret to say we do not have the wild mushroom risotto today, Sir.
