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.
