'Ere mate, what's it worth to take these 'ere drugs?

Paying patients to take drugs. This is the latest psychiatric methodology to gain more compliance from those who've been prescribed antipsychotic drugs. What about those who are compliant? Do they get the cash too? If they don't, they could always become 'difficult' and get a bit more taxpayers cash.

This is coercion, isn't it? Bribing a person to consume expensive drugs. What if the bribes don't work? What then? I've compiled a list of possibilities that might encourage compliance:

1) Meals out at top restaurants
2) Visits to lap dance parlours
3) Weekends away at top hotels
4) All expenses paid flights abroad

Would you look at that. That's a list of what the shrinks get from Big Pharma. I know, perhaps the 'patients' could join the shrinks on their freebie excursions, sort of like one big happy family, and then the shrinks could definitely check whether they're complying!

There now, working together.
