The former Prime Minister is suffering from heart ailments

Former Prime Minister, Patrick John, was on Monday released from the Princess Margaret Hospital (PMH).

He was a patient at the institution since he returned to Dominica on February 15 from Martinique, where he was seeking medical treatment.

John departed Dominica via air ambulance in early January, one day short of his 79th birthday for the French island for medical care for a heart ailment.

While in Martinique, he also had surgery on his right knee.

On his arrival in Dominica, he was transported, via ambulance, to the PMH for further medical care.

John is Dominica’s first Prime Minister.

    How is he doing? Is he much better?
    PJ take care of yourself. Keep as well as you possibly could. Your wife will ensure that you eat and drink nutritiously and get ample rest.
    Take each day at a time – one day at a time.
    I note DNO is giving you your dues as former PM. :) Some matters cannot be erased nor from the history books. They are there to stay.
