You'd think they would have noticed! China has really cornered the Greek market!

Cough, please

More than 500 imitation stethoscopes are feared to be in use by doctors in Greece, it was revealed yesterday after authorities in Thessaloniki raided a medical equipment warehouse in the city. A batch of 560 of the phony stethoscopes, which are copies of more expensive models but do not work as well, were imported to Greece from China. Only 77 were found at the warehouse so officials have warned that up to 483 of the stethoscopes may be in the hands of Greek doctors. A 59-year-old woman has been charged.

Answer 1

What? Do you really think that these stethoscopes will be found eventually? It's like the incident with the mineral oil. Did they withdraw all the infected items that contained this oil? NO! I saw in the super market just yesterday bottles of mayonese that surely were infected. Markets did not withdraw anything. They simply didn't order new products of the companies. They want to sell everything so that they don't have a loss. Has anyone forced them to withdraw ALL the infected items all over the country? Of course not. That's the irresponsible madness of today's Greece. Noone gets to pay about anything that is wrong.

Answer 2

Interesting Story LOL!

The Chinese are adept at dissecting and creating imitations of any product they get their hands on.  Some knock offs can be very high quality, indistinguishable from the real thing. (GUESS, Gucci & Parada bags)

Here is another interesting story:  During the Yugoslav wars, when NATO was involved, The Chinese Embassey was hit by a US laser guided bomb.  Leveling and destroying the embassy. The U.S. apologise, saying it was an accident. But that is a complete load of bull. Because 4 days earlier, Serbian forces succeed in shooting down a F-117 stealth figher plane.  Even thought it crashed, the plane's weapons systems, controls and stealth techonlogy was intact, and when NATO forces arrived at the site, the wreckage was gone.

How much does anyone want to bet that components of that stealth plane was bought by the Chinese, and stored in the basement of the Embassy.

Answer 3

LOL! I don't think they'll ever find who got them, so it really is up to the doctors now, pray that they're paying attention when they examine you.

Για γέλια και για κλάματα.
