Why Qatar Airways CEO resigned suddenly after 27 years ....

What caused Akbar Al Baker, the CEO of Qatar Airways for 27 years, to abruptly leave? 

The formal statement says that he resigned and that someone else has taken his place.

Nothing about this makes sense or seems right! At a company this size, you would expect a transitional change in management. Many people were shocked when he quit without any pomp or ceremony . Given the fact that he has been the CEO of this company for 27 years and has won a lot of awards.

We might never learn more!

I hope that the standard of the airline stays the same.

Massacre after massacre

What terrible people are leading our world ? How incredibly coward you must be to target a hospital ? 😱🌍 A hospital !

I am absolutely devastated . 😭💔 I have dreamed a more progressive world for myself for our children ! 🌍✨

Can't deal with these backward , retarded power-hungry egoists! 😩💔

Humans got no other perspective than creating societies rooted
in solidarity . 💪🌍
Apartheid, racism, war mongering = major crimes! 💔✋🚫

The tale of the American cave explorer and the Hungarian medical caver

 At the begining  of September  2023  an American cave  explorer  found  himself  very unwell  deep in a cave in Southern  Turkey . At the depth of 1,000 meters !

At the same time  a Hungarian  female doctor  was  about to start  her   workday  in a countryside   town , Ballasagyarmat .Then   she   got a call .

She  had to  leave  at once. A  fellow  caver  was  in very big  trouble .He was in desperate need of a skilled cave rescuer. Not just any rescuer would do, though. They required someone with both experience and medical expertise. 

It was  Dr Zsófia Zádor  the only one at that moment who  had  the  rare quality of being  a doctor  and  a cave  rescuer  at the  same time and ready  to  go ...

I can't express how much I respect the cavers for their bravery. I was raised in a special  town in Hungary where many people had the hobby of exploring caves, and I had heard about it a lot. Caves may be hazardous. Unknown currents swallowing humans in the lake cave's  depths. Such tales from my youth come to mind. 

Still  cave exploring remaines  a popular activity in some areas in Hungary .

That  is how  this  Hungarian  woman took  up   this past time  activity  during her  years at the medical university .

That  was  the luck  of the American   caver .   This  woman was ready to go . She was  at the mouth  of the  cave  within  24 hours . Then  she  climbed 13  hours  down to reach  her patient .

He was more than  just  a  patient . Actually ,they knew each other .  He was  a a fellow  caver  , a friend  for a longtime .

Another incredible  luck of this  American  caver  was  his fiancee  Jessica . She was a paramedic  and fearlessly  climbed up  and down  tirelessly bringing for him  medical   aid  .  Do not   forget  !1000 meter  depths !

Long  story short . The  Hungarian  doctor  set  up  an  ICU   down  there .  She began  the  blood   transfusion .  Stabilized  the patient  and  climbed up .      At the  surface she  was replaced by other doctors . She was a woman  who was  terribly  exhausted ! 

The patient  emerged at the surface  after 9 days  down there with a  bleeding   stomach !   A helicopter swiftly  took  him away to the hospital  and   his    was operated . He luckily  survived .   Against  all odds .

Very profound respect for the Hungarian doctor, the committed fiancee, the three cave rescue team assistants, and everyone else who was willing to descend into the depths of the cave to aid a fellow human being in need.

This story profoundly moved me.It's not only because I was born in a town with lots of caves. However, the hospital itself where I was   born is built over a cave system. Caves that had been investigated.caves with a unique environment where persons with respiratory problems can find relief.

People with the same kind of courage once went into those caves...
