Check out this International Herald Tribune article about corruption in the healthcare field.
In the States we may have an outrageous system of paying for our healthcare, but at least the doctors are generally honest.
A Serb friend of mine is just two months away from having a baby, and throughout the pregnancy she's had to go to a number of different doctors and pay I don't know how much to get the care she needs. It helps if you know someone in the field.
I heard another story (and this one might be just a story) about someone who was going to visit his wife and new child in the hospital and he stopped on the way to buy flowers. Not for his wife, but for the nurses, to make sure they would take good care of his family.
As my friend Edina says, you have to "show appreciation" to your caretakers.

Dan reminded me that the new dad who gave flowers to the nurses supposedly put 20 euro notes into each bouquet (50 euro notes for the doctors). Truth or fiction? I'd believe either.
