Doctor, no

In the UAE, do not visit a doctor. You go in with a cough and come out in a coffin. There are enough stories about malpractice here to make feeling sick the number one item on a prayer list of things not to happen.
Hospitals here are not places where trained individuals perform a service for a fee, but, medical malls, where you could get ripped off (die). As I write this I have a bad cold, fever and a broken finger. And you couldn’t drag me to the doctor here if my life depended on it.
