    "content": "surgeries over a 24-hour period without a rest. Those are persons showing dedication beyond the call of duty. We come here, sit and after browsing through the Report, the first thing we say is: “If you go to KNH, you are likely to even be taken to the maternity ward.” We are joking with the matter and trying to show the world that we have zombies and nincompoops at KNH who cannot tell between a man and a woman and that you are going to end up in a maternity ward as a man. There are some jokes we should limit to the political rallies, not in this august House. We owe our doctors and our professionals some respect and we should be fighting to ensure that they gain respect on a global basis, rather than come here and start lambasting them and showing how incompetent they can be. I believe Members who have spoken have said clearly that no professional gets up to do what they are called to do with the intention of harming anyone. I have seen doctors being woken up and taking risks to go and save lives. I believe that is, perhaps, what we need to first of all look at, that all the staff we have, be it the nurses or be it the doctors at the KNH, do it basically because they are guided by one intention: To save that life. But we also know that life is not finite. Some people will get healed and some will die. That is why we have mortuaries in hospitals. It is a standard. It is known that not everyone who gets in will get out because life is not finite. Let us not say that when mistakes occur, they were designed. When you look at this Report and look at the number of surgeries taking place within KNH on a daily or annual basis, you are talking of thousands. But who is remembering the 30,000 plus surgeries that took place in KNH that were successful? Because of this one small mix-up, all of a sudden, KNH has become the institution that we demonise, that we show it does not work and yet, it has been there for us and working for all those years."
