I've actually been put in the position of bribing doctors to deal with more difficult issues.

This isn't neccessarily true.. It also really depends on just how good your personal physician is. I know that my doctor in Alberta was PHENOMINAL at working the system to get his patients exactly what they needed, when they needed it, no matter HOW big or small. He saved my life, and my grandmother's more than once.
