A sign at the entrance of the University Teaching Hospital in Lasaka, Zambia, after a series of confrontations between angry patients and over-stretched nurses and doctors:
"Kindly take note that members of the staff at UTH work under very strenuous and demanding conditions due to the increase in the disease burden and critical shortages of man power. It may take a bit of time...Assaulting any member of staff is a criminal offence." (Lancet)

(1) I Motherfucking Swear That I Am Not Just Pissing Away My Life by Going to Medical School but Finding Every Spare Moment I Can to Sit in a Library Corner to Read John Rawls
(2) Stop Asking Me About my Thesis Topic

Cheers.
