Oh, and a charming touch is that the example patient is diagnosed as
suffering from "St Anthony's Fire", rather than erysipelas as it would
be more commonly called here. I wonder if they were aware that "St
Anthony's Fire" also used to refer to egotism - see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergotism

If you look carefully, one of the other patients in the waiting room is
clearly suffering from scrofula. Those Dutch do have a wicked sense of
humour!
