I wasn't sure whether or not to be horrified by this article in the New York Times, which describes a private surgery clinic in Prague that offers a choice of signing bonuses for prospective employees: German lessons, extra weeks of vacation, or free cosmetic surgery.
I decided, yes, horrified. Horrified that the health care situation in the Czech Republic is so desperate, horrified that plastic surgery has become akin to a free set of steak knives with purchase, horrified that the surgeons offering free elective cosmetic procedures aren't horrified.
Are my standards too high? Or am I just normal?
