Benji at What War Zone questions Israel’s medical mores in his latest humorous jibe.

Moving to a new country isn’t easy. There are an endless gauntlet of things to acclimate to: the language, finances, health care. Medical care differs significantly from that of the States. In America, a doctor has been through at least four years of college, four years med school, four years of residency, and possibly a couple more of a fellowship. In Israel? Apparently your success as a medical professional is reliant on your ability to dispense the wonder drug known as Acamol in large quantities.

Headache? “Acamol.”
Fever? “Acamol.”
Severed head? “Do you have to ask?”

Too right you are, Monsieur B. Acamol, for those not in the know, is Israel’s version of Advil or Tylenol. Locals know by heart the 11th Commandment: Thou shalt at all times keep adequate stores of Acamol within your dwelling.
