class CanadianFamilyDoctor extends Doctor
I am not fond Canadian family doctors at all. Because Canada wants to provide public health care for everyone and private health care for the (slightly) rich, the entire system is screwed up. As a result, regular family doctors perform very poorly as professionals. Here is a generic class of a doctor and a Canadian family doctor, in pseudo OOP language.
Not all doctors are like this, but some unfortunate ones I’ve met are.
Doctor
class Doctor {
var degreeOfEducation;
function Doctor (determination) {
if(determination == "strong") {
degreeOfEducation = 1;
startBusiness();
} else {
degreeOfEducation = 0;
exit();
}
}
private function startBusiness () {}
}
So far so good.
Canadian Family Doctor
class CanadianFamilyDoctor extends Doctor {
var fund;
var salary;
function CanadianFamilyDoctor () {
super();
degreeOfEducation = 0;
}
function startBusiness () {
fund = Government.borrowMoney(INFINITY);
City.openBusiness(this, fund);
while (1) {
salary = Government.borrowMoney(9999999);
Sleep("one year");
}
}
function bookAppointment (dayOfWeek) {
if ((dayOfWeek >= 1) && (dayOfWeek <= 7)) {
if (isSummer) {
this.onVacation();
} else {
this.currentlyFull();
}
return 0;
} else if (dayOfWeek == null) {
return (date() + rand() * 30 + 5);
}
}
function appointment (symptom) (
if ((symptom == "running nose")) {
informPatient("You have a cold, here.");
chickenScratch("Tylenol");
} else {
informPatient("Here.");
chickenScratch("L$d7@doFD#");
}
if (symptom == complaint || symptom == nonstop) {
referToSpecialist();
}
collectMoney();
}
function referToSpecialist () (
printf("Phone number: %s-%s",
floor(rand()*999),
floor(rand()*9999));
}
}
And if you noticed, srand() is nowhere found in the code.
Bubble Tea is Overrated
It wasn’t until yesterday that I noticed how incredibly of rip off bubble tea is. For $5 / ~500ml of sugar water and artificial balls that they call pearls, I could get a frappuccino at Starbucks, which is also a rip off.
Think about it — going into a cheap Chinese place, ordering a cup of sugar water looking like you are on drugs, waiting for five minutes while the sugar-addicted drug addict who works there pours sugar and balls into a cup, seals it, and shakes it right in front of you — is that healthy? Not to mention the money you pay, the expense of your health from drinking pure sugar water and eating balls is significant considering you paid $5 for it.
So for the sake of your health, don’t buy bubble tea.
