OK guys I need to vent a little in here...
I was talking to my sister who is a medical doctor. She's currently a resident, finishing up a specialty in internal medicine at "The Morgan". She has six months to go to finish. Well...last week there was a meeting where the press was present, in which they talked about the lack of money and supplies the hospital faces. The head resident was not available to talk, so they asked my sister to represent the medical residents...she told the press a few of the things that were happening at this hospital such as how the food they got was so bad that sometimes they found cockroaches, maggots, etc in it, how patients die in the hallways for lack of basic supplies, etc...Two other doctors also talked to the press.
See the article here: Morgan Declares Itself in State of Emergency
OK great...So then what happens next is that the health secretary call the director of the hospital to complain about the story published in the newspapers and specifically about my sister's comments to the press. Supposedly told the director to control his people. Basically to tell him to keep their mouth shut...Next thing you know the director calls my sister in and basically threatens her. He tells her to not try to be a hero, because all heroes are dead and buried, that the only reason why he doesn't send her packing is because she has the highest grades in her class and it would look too suspicious, to forget about her doing a sub-specialty (something she wants to do), because he would never approve it, that if she continues talking she will never work in this country because the doctors all know each other (they're all members of the AMD) and he would make sure she would never find work, etc...
She's so frustrated and scared because she's been in this program for a couple of years now and only has six more months to go, and they could say she failed one the last two classes she needs to graduate...For now she's being punished with extra long hours and extremely hard schedules...
Those of you who want to come to the DR and find work, take my last two posts as examples of how screwed up things are in the DR...
