Thanks for the story, Ditord, and glad you are better. I think it may be an interesting distinction in the minds of various fields of work, what IS corruption, since it doesn’t seem that those doctors and nurses weren’t necessarily against corruption, but think of it as something different than what they were doing… Is it paying when you’re not supposed to have to, period? Do some individuals consider corruption to be only applicable to government, police, army, etc?
I have heard some doctors in Armenia say that they are payed so little by the state that they cannot live on that alone… If this is the case, then maybe those doctors and nurses do not consider taking money corruption if they are not living extravagantly because of it… maybe other fields have similar distinctions… and justifications.
I sure as heck don’t know, but just an idea…

They didn’t make you pay for medication?! WOW! I ended up paying for absolutely EVERYTHING, and I mean everything, including every single piece of medication and every single supply (cotton, needle, syringe.. you name it), even though it was supposed to be covered by the state. I mean EVERYTHING.
