It is very surprising to me that this is the same fellow that campaigned for the elections in December 2009. This new person in his suit seems to be very cold and calculating. I mean I know people of whom this guy went to their homes and sat with them like friends and I actually happen to know of one case in particular right now where a guy is in a life and death medical situation and not even a phone call this guy will return. Dam !! Anyway, people may forget the good you do for them sometimes, but they never forget the bad. That’s just sad to see this guy act this way. I am surprised. I’ve defended his actions many, many times in the past, but now I’m just tight lipped when people have to say what they have to say.
Sorry, but my comments do not relate directly to this story being covered here.
This morning I heard over the radio this guy’s comments on the accident that took the young lady’s life 2 weeks ago and the whole fiasco with the emergency room situation.
I mean, where the hell they get these caliber of guys and make them leaders over people there nah? All time we have motor cars on the roads accident must and will always happen. Your responsibility is to make sure that when the accident do happen that there are up-to-date and adequate resources at the ER to deal with it.
Doesn’t the Police HeadQuarters and the Fire Station have policemen and firemen on call sleeping in the buildings? When there is an emergency don’t they jump straight from their bed into the situation? Do they have to wait for police and firemen to come from their home or personal business, while they are on call, and tend to a house burning for example? That same situation should have been implemented in the hospital long time ago.
You talking about the response time was a little slow. That is no excuse man, the young lady lost her life. As the man in charge somebody should be suing your bumbo cl@@. Instead of there talking all that egotistical rubbish laying blame on everybody else but yourself, go sell insurance and groceries and let somebody more qualified and serious look after the healthy welfare of Dominicans.
And as for this story being covered here, let me take the opportunity to wish all fellow Dominicans bright white teeth, nice breath and good Dental hygiene.
