| Message | OOC: You are aware of the fact that superbugs only develop due to doctors giving out medicine when it is not always required, yes? That is the reason why the current British NHS has superbugs, because doctors gave out drugs too readily. A 'superbug' is a virus or bacterium that has become resistant to current medicines. The system also works remarkably well considering that when it is compared to other National systems it is severely underfunded. |
