I am reading "The Decline and Fall of the Institut: "In the high and far-off times of the Holy Roman Empire - which, as Voltaire once said, was neither Holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire - there was once a medical school. It flourished, at the time we speak, in the days of the good Kaiser Friederich the Benign, of sainted memory. He will readily be identified, by the historically inclined, as the father of Ludwig the Disagreeable, who was the father of Konrad the Bastard, who was the father of Rudolf the Unbearable, who was the father of Otto the Absolutely Impossible. The medical school bore the imposing title of Kaiserliches und Königliches Krankheitvernichtungsmedizinwissensschftserziehungsintitut, which is a crisp and noble word that would have delighted Mark Twain...." And there follows a sad declining of the Institut. The full history has a predictive power over the Brazilian medical schools under the actual government. Vade retro Satanas...
