    Three reasons occur to me as to why such a practice would be instituted.
    1. So many patients they are short-handed.
    2. Too few qualified personnel because of either death/illness of medical personnel .
    3. Too many qualified hospital personnel have fled the country leaving gaps in MERS healthcare.
    Please do not ask me for medical advice, I am not a medical doctor.
