I was driving my ambulance on Al-Rayan road with a patient and I was generally chatting with him. When we reached the hospital,the patient suddenly woke up and gave me a tip of 26 QR. I took it and hid it in my tunic. No one found out so far.

... reward for it, why should it not be acceptable? You are not taking a bribe, you are taking a 'gift' for work well done and if the patient appreciates it and wants to show it, if I was you, I would take it.
