All Those In Agreement Say Yea!

It's been a while

Been busy with work. Busy calls, not much time off even after work. Trying to spend whatever spare time I have communicating with real life rather than typing on a keyboard, not that being online is of any less importance, it IS a way of life. But I'd turn crazy if i dont leave, smell some "fresh" air polluted with the daily contributions of diesel and gas, and talk to people and relate to them.

But anyhow...

What the hell is going on with this country. As interesting as it IS, i'm sick of reading the newspaper these cause all there seems to be is someone bitching about the government, or someone interrogating a government representative, or trying to demoralizing something.

Now I'm not saying the government is any better, but i have a feeling those under interrogation by members of the parliament are the ones who "unfortunately" try to do good. One person told me, the past Minister of Health underwent the enquiry by the PMs during the era of the last House of Ministers because he stopped providing health services to Kuwaiti citizens to receive abroad, even when PMs approached with him the magical vitamin W...

PS... Vit. W = Was6a

but again beside the point. Do you feel the point to which corruption has reached in this country, that when someone tries to stop a flawed system, he gets stopped by the PMs! (the foreign health service availability was corrupted because people who knew people started going, and not people who really needed specialised medical care. Like when some girl goes to London for an allergy treatment, WITH 7 companions, staying in a top-notch hotel costing 1000 pounds per night per bed!!!)

that's barely the tip of the ice-berg.

The financial stock market is on an sy high inflation of profit margins. Everyone is talking about stock markets. EVERYONE is investing in stocks. What the hell? suddenly everyone is a hedge fund investor in JP Morgan & Stanely.... Lemme give you a hint, ever heard of INSIDE trading?! But then everyone is justifying it: "But surely everyone else is doing it! So it's OK!" Just because everyone is doing wrong, doesnt mean wrong is right!

I'm not gonna pretend I know everything in this world. But atleast I know how much the Health System in country stinks!... WHY is no one held accountable? If anything, doctors should be held accountable first and foremost in this country so that they can start working properly. Unfortunately whether some of these doctors arrive to a correct diagnosis or not, it won't matter. The patient can become debilitated, permenantly handicapped, or even die; what's the reason? God's will. Even when family members do realise something was grossly wrong, and they complain about it formally, nothing is done. The decide to sue the doctor or the hospital; Sir / Madam do you have special Vit. W ? Nop? ok please just go to the back of the line. Oh you DO have vit. W? ok let's skip the procedure, here's a compensation of x00,000 KD written off by the M.O.Health, it'll be just be written off as unavoidable medical error due to variaty of co-factors, and that'll be it. Where's the doctor? oh, he has Vit. W too and he's STILL working as a doctor! Oh or worst still, he transferred from medical to medical management dept and is Vice Director of the hospital in 2 years where he's responsible for more lives. Hahaha! I love this system.

Too long of a post...

More to come...
