Frustated by inefficiency Cuban doctor gets fired and his license suspended

HAVANA, November 18 (www.cubanet.org) - Hospital administrators fired a doctor and suspended his medical license for nine months after he loudly expressed his frustration with widespread inefficiency in Fidel Castro's government.

Mario Ariosta, a gynecologist, rushed into an operating room at National hospital in Havana to perform an emergency Cesarean section and found there were no gloves or sterilized instruments available. In his frustration, Ariosta loudly excoriated the government's inefficiency.

Ariosta is off the job, but he has appealed the suspension of his medical license to a labor court.
