You cant expect any change , until the thinking does.
Now I’ve been here for ages and I say to you all – It’s not all Kuwaitis who are as such. Infact there are Kuwaitis who are better than our own local natioanals in a zillion ways.

You get a bunch of morons like this who clearly think they own everyone’s bottom and have the need to express themselves with fists.
As far as Im concerned , the doc may/may not have deserved that(sometimes not everything works without being physical ) – i dont encourage it though!

Im not Kuwaiti , but i tend to see a lot of people clearly generalising 50% of the local idiots with the rest of the sane ones. Needs to stop.. Every country has a lot of bs in their own backyard. (politics , religion , corruption and so on..) I would’nt like it if we had a bunch of outsiders generalising me with other retards of my society on the basis on nationality.

All that said , i do wish they legalized alcohol here! ;)

That has got to be the shittiest reporting ever. If you don’t know the facts, don’t do a report on it. The only thing Al Rai had was like a videotape and everything else the actual reporter insinuated on.

1) he mentions that the girl goes to complain, and they found it a simple problem, so they didnt do anything about it. Maybe, just maybe, the girl had a real problem and they didnt have time for it.

2) people keep on complaining how no one did anything. So many people walked in, and tried to break it up.

3) the girl seemed really upset, and the fact that the guy just walks in there and starts beating the doctor, clearly there is a big something we are missing out on ..

4) also, it was kind of scary how he was just able to go in like that.

conclusion – shitty shitty shitty kuwaiti healthcare system. the girl, is a patient, and as such, when she is going to complain, even if she has the slightest complain, it should be taken into consideration. Also, if it is like some people are saying (the doctor asked to examine the maid in the presence of other men who were not doctors, and then when the girl refused, he threw the x-ray at her and called her a shoe) then a lot, a lot of the blame is placed on the doctor. And the girl not only has the right to complain but she has a right to sue. Also, people keep on saying how this was not investigated properly. HOW THE FUCK DO U KNOW THAT? Maybe they called the police, but the doctor decided not to file a complaint, or wanted the case closed. Maybe. Just maybe. But the level of like inferences people are making is just annoying.

With the encounter I had today with a Doctor,no wonder one would want to beat him up.He spoke to me as if he was treating me from his salary.He’s like you come everyday,theres nothing wrong with you.I was like you’re talking as if I love visiting hospitals and sitting in long lines writhing in pain.Its the second time in 5 years.When I asked him what do I do about the pain,hes like take this painkiller but I find nothing wrong with you.Damn it Doc,tell the patient what do you think he should do,find out why is he in so much pain? An adol or ponstan or olfen is not the answer to everything.His reply to me was ,”You’re pain is psychological”.Can you imagine this? Wouldnt you want to thrash his room around for speaking to you like that? No wonder people go to private hospitals…whats the use of paying health insurance here when the doctor degrades you like that!

The girl is obviously lying! She’s probably making up her story cause tuwahigat when she realized it was all on video tape, and she has no excuse!
I am ASHAMED to be Kuwaiti, when we have people like this girl & guy who act in this uncivilized manner, wallah 3aib, but unfortunately, we get more and more of hal ashkaal!
Allah iysa3id dikatrat il Kuwait ilee they have to deal with our society, who unfortunately, think they are above the law, and think doctors work for them and should attend to their every need whenever they feel like it.

@ Security Adviser 3:54 am – If you read my post carefully, I said “I do not want to be a racist”, not you. Funny how you read it differently.

Anyway, I know the US Embassy & hospitals are as different as chalk & cheese, I said such sickos should be treated at such places …

Good day!

very very sad
my personal experience @ Adan Hospital was an Indian male(around 50) who could literally barely breath who had to wait before seeing the dr.
he politely asked 2 kuwaity men who were about to enter the room,if he could enter before them and they looked @ him and snickered(laughed) and said no i am sick too, i have a cold. not all kuwaity are bad, but let us show our brotherhood, especially since we are “muslims”!!! as for this case, it is very sad that it resulted in fighting…

First I want share true story about non Kuwaiti Drs Here in Kuwait I watched my father

Die because sum dr saw how bad his case is and decided to talk to a Kuwaiti guy about wasta

for his driving license he didn’t even turn to talk to me when I was asking him so politely

To please come check on my dad and that he couldn’t breath until it was too late and he couldn’t do anything for him

but I believe in god I didn’t say anything that was in adaan hospital…last year I had a heart failure

After giving birth to my twins and I was taking by ambulance from mowasat hospital to adaan

And dr at adaan wouldn’t check my heart like the dr from mowasat hospital suggested ( la ya madam

inti 3andik nazlet bard w 7atro7i al bayet) I was so polite and insisted that I want my heart

checked and he kept saying no tell I maid aphon call to my friend who her brother is a dr at the hospital

he made few calls and I spend 10 days in the cardio intensive care unit which was thank god

run by a kuwaiti dr and I’m still alive and polite…. 4 days ago we had to rush my mom to the military hospital

and the dr was so busy with a swine flu case when he finished he came to check my mom and I

asked him so POLITLY to change his gloves ( inti 7t3alimeni shogly ana 3aref ba3mel ehe)

and then he saw her medication he paused for a few seconds then asked ( heya betakhod aldawa deh 3alashan ehe)

I told him for her veins pressure and he said (ahh sa7 ) I lost it I just maid that word up I know the medication

was for her cholesterol and he said (sa7) I really wanted to kill him I just toke here out of there and to a privet clinic

tell me people how do you stay polite ..who is the hamaj and w3 and all the bad names u gave that

guy if u gets sick here in kuwait and goes to a government hospital and u don’t have wasta u r on yr on

and expect the worst no mater how polite u r.

most kuwaitis dont care about this.. they dont advocate change at all, hitting someone is nothing to them.
