I agree somehow with the comments of everyone; however, I must add something. There is no perfect system in the world. 'A perfect system' could only exist in our mind in the present day. May be sometimes in the future, we might have one, but not now at least.
I have experienced some of the best medical centers in the world including the United States. None of them is perfect, and I could recount more harrowing stories than the one told here about any of those places where I have lived and worked.
In terms of professional competence, let me admit, I do find inadequacies more in the ER staff at Hamad, than any other specialty. However, that in no means we should generalize, or we should blame the hospital.
The hospital, and its top management, is toiling its best to bring their services at par with the best in the rest of the world. However, this would take time.
As for as the waiting thing is concerned, this happens everywhere in the world. Obviously, if there is more work load, there would be delay in the delivery of services. Someone may ask here, "but why dont they just expand their services?" Well, again nowhere in the world do we have limitless resources. Although Qatar is rich and its government is generous to ensure fullest services to its people, there are still limits to resources whether it is money, time or personnel.
I believe this act of voilence which happened is a purely isolated event and should be regarded as such. I am never saying it should be condoned though. If there is a mistake, or negligence on the part of a doctor, the doctor himself is to blame, not the whole hospital, unless it is a hospital policy which is at fault.
Let us pray to Allah that Qatar grows and its health system grows along with it. Ameen.
