The Corruption Within

I woke up and after a short while I was having my morning cup of tea while reading the newspaper. There was an article about how the new temporary government is going to give compensation to families of the martyrs of the Egyptian revolution; those heroes who gave their lives to the freedom of this country, who gave their lives in order for us to live in an Egypt free of corruption, and oppression. Those pure people who died in order for Egypt to live…. The article stated that their families will receive 50 thousand Egyptian pounds and a monthly payment of 1500 Egyptian pounds. “That’s good amount money” I thought to myself, but I don’t think it would compensate for their loss. What really would compensate for their losses is getting the people responsible for their death behind bars and eventually executed. Anyway, I finished my cup of tea and went to my work. I was going on sales visits in Asr Ainy Hospital (A well reputed Teaching Hospital in Cairo).

After a few visits I decided to go see where the people wounded from the revolution where being kept. I asked some of the young doctors and they showed me the way. I went into a hallway with lots of what seems to be patients’ wards. There was a horrible smell, mixed with the smell of blood. Suddenly there was a guy talking in a very aggressive, high tone.
