A Pathetic Experience of being "SICK". Idiot Doctors.

that's really sad to know but good to know that you now doing fine. I had experience with my wife as doctor gave her wrong medicine but she was honest enough to call and admit after 5 days. I totally agree that most of the doctors are not competent to come n work here as its serious issue

I really doubt about the selection procedure of the medical personnel out here. I've heared that they have to undergo a MOH written and verbal tests. I don't know on what basis these sort of so called doctors clear those tests and get hired. It might be the influence of the several man power agencies who just have thousands and thousands of people (Specially south indians) in que in the waiting list. And once they're in, they're free to play with us.

I am also equally appalled at the shockingly pathetic quality of these numerous polyclinics in Muscat.

I've been to a few and I know how terrible they (all) are. No clinic is really dependable and no doctor can be trusted.

I feel most of them are total failures in their professions back home and to avoid being unemployed, they manage to find themselves some job, at bargain prices for the clinics who hire them, and land up here. Unfortunately, it is the common man who has to pay the price.

I particularly hate Badr Al Samaa in Ruwi. They're the worst of the lot.

P.S. schaz, you owe your God special thanks for pulling you through :-) !

Dearest Mr. Sumitran!
Thanks for the wishes. I was literally thanking God while being discharged healthy. Just imagine when you realize that you had a medicine of malayria while the infection is of throat. My fever went to 105 degrees and i was out of my mind for many hours.

This is a serious matter and the recruiters of the doctors have to be matured and professional enough. Its all about people's lives and noone can play with it. When they have a very strong recruitment system from Shell and PDO to appoint engineers, why don't they have the same for Doctors ??

You've mentioned Badar Sama (Which is the worst among all). The one which i experienced is Muscat Private Hospital (Considered to be on a higher rating).

Hi schaz,

Shocking to know you had to endure the trauma at Muscat Private Hospital (MCH) ! Yes, indeed it is supposed to be one of Muscat’s best hospitals ! Sarah White (of Zubair Museum) died during an operation there, because of post surgery compilations just a few months back.

The problem is polyclinics and hospitals invest a lot on their equipments and so they do all they can to recover their costs – through hook, or by crook. So, medical services have become pure businesses. Money making ventures. Add to that incompetent and cheapy doctors and the common man suffers.

I have no absolutely problem in mentioning ‘Badr Al Samaa’ by name, as the worst of the lot. Yes, they indeed are undoubtedly.

Agree with you Mr. Sumitran.
I would also like to specifically alert all the new comers to Oman to please stay safe and select the right doctor as your health is even more important than anything else.

Specifically mentioning "Badar Al Sama" as the worst among all.

God bless all!
