Wednesday July 11

OK...so here is an update for the week.

Wednesday was pretty much status quo. Trying to learn the system. To tell you the mentality of some of these supervisors, basically they have 2 supervisor positions that could have the most effect on staff. They have a supervisor that is for the city of Doha and surrounding stations and one for the northern regions and rural regions of the country. The have others on as well, but these two could have the biggest impact. However, they want to 'help' the other supervisors do their jobs for them. So when I asked the city supervisor if he wanted to go drive around he said "no, we are not busy, and I am tired" So basically, none of the stations are going to get checked or show up on scenes or anything. Also, the supervisor that was up north was in station because his vehicle was in the shop. No one thought to send him up north in another vehicle. Its not going to be a land cruiser or suburban, but they have PLENTY of ambulances, support vehicles, etc that they could have taken. The supervisors just didn't have the initiative or motivation to make that decision and make it happen. They definitely have a problem with critical thinking...we will work on that.
