DISPENSARY CORNER 26 Feb 16
February 26, 2016
WOULD you be tempted by an
annual wage of $400,000 and
12 week’s annual leave with
the promise of no evening or
weekend work?
It seems GPs just aren’t
interested in this offer.
After two years of recruiting,
Dr Alan Kenny in the town of the
regional New Zealand town of
Tokoroa says he still can’t find a
suitable candidate to fill the role.
For almost half a year he hasn’t
even received one application for
the highly paid position.
Why? He thinks its the
perception of a rural GP being a
“dead-end job”.
Any takers?
DO YOU ever think fresh country
air smells so good you could
bottle it?
British entrepreneur Leo De
Watts thought so and now he’s
making money selling “harvested
air” to the Chinese.
Wait, what? Yes, he’s selling
British country air to Chinese
buyers for £80 a bottle.
He says the 580 ml glass jars
he sells under his brand Aethaer
have been surprisingly popular
with the Asian market.
He sets off early morning to
catch air in large nets, sealing it in
glass jars before
shipping it off to his clients who
pay top dollar to inhale it.
Oddly enough some buyers
never open their purchase,
keeping the jar for novelty value.
