A pregnant woman in labour was taken to a government owned hospital. Labour became prolonged and the nurses at hand were unable to handle the situation. The doctor on call was contacted to save the situation, but he was nowhere to be found. The nurses battled all through the night to no avail and as a result, the lady's strength was exhausted. The reckless doctor came in from nowhere in the morning and walked straight to his office, without conducting ward rounds, turned on the air conditioner and switched on the television to get the latest gist on Israel's bombardment of Gaza. Due to his failure, as a qualified medical doctor to attend to the lady, she lost her life and the baby.
