Family members of former Prime Minister, Patrick John, are expressing grave concern that he has not been allocated a bed at the Princess Margaret Hospital (PMH) hours after he arrived on the island from Martinique where he had gone for medical treatment.
John arrived in Dominica at 3:15 pm on Monday and was transported to the PMH via ambulance and taken to the casualty department. He spent the entire night there and by Tuesday morning, had not been moved.
DNO understands that John was cleaned by family members in the department with little or no privacy.
Reports indicate that family members are expressing surprise and concern over the entire matter.
“It is heartbreaking,” a family member stated, adding that the situation is tantamount to ‘punishment.’
John was admitted to the Princess Margaret Hospital for heart problems on November 29, 2015, and was discharged on December 30.
He was again taken to the institution on January 3 after he complained of shortness of breath. He was subsequently flown to Martinique.
DNO is following this developing story and will publish further information as it becomes available.
Dr. John MUST be accommodated at PMH immediately!!! It is an insult to all Dominicans that this great man who took us to our liberty is being treated in this way.
I call on all Dominicans to voice your displeasure via your political representatives immediately to get relief for Dr. John when he needs it most!!!
“As for the US, if your insurance is not talking they ain’t touching you. some of the poorer citizens actually live with their illnesses as they can’t afford insurance and wait until it becomes an emergency to rush to the hospital when they hope they won’t be turned away from the Emergency services.”(Barbara Sunders).
Barbara, Sunders, everything in the quote above is a lie! First of all nobody goes without medical treatment in America okay! And if you wish to prove that I can give you the telephone number of someone in Dominica, who has a medical problem.
The person never worked one single day in America, they were in NJ, the person got very sick he called me, and told me he forgot his medication in Dominica. I found a county hospital in New Jersey, I gave him the address, his daughter took him, they treated him. To this day he has not paid one dime for his hospitalization and treatment.
He was in the hospital for more than a week. Let me tell you there is a Federal law in America, which prevents all hospitals from demanding money from a patient prior to treating them. Further more there are hospitals right here in California which would treat Patrick John for free.
One Dominica from Grand Bay came here and was treated in that same hospital, okay, okay, so don’t make any unfounded claims which you cannot verify! And as for that crap Facts is talking, I know a man from Wesley who needed a pace maker, his children flew him to Canada, and in less than days they installed a pace maker in his chest.
And this England thing medical treatment is practically free, I never paid for medication, when they give you that prescription there are two boxes, the doctor checks one, pay or not to pay for medication, they usually leave them open, all I would do is check no pay. Facts this is for you.
One day my cousin and I was on a buss in Toronto, I got sick we step off the Buss and walked into a place where there are about two dozen doctors. I visited with one, when I ask him what’s his charge he told me see the lady at the desk, only to find out there was no charge. And mind you I never worked a single day in my miserable or happy life in Canada.
And if you think I lie my cousin is Kathleen Telemaque, the former Dominica and Caribbean Carnival Queen, now a professional Nurse in a hospital in Toronto, in charge of an intensive care unit I believe.
So, watch it when you all decide to make comments that are not altogether accurate you see, and it is simply ignorance to compare any medical system in Europe, and North America to what we have in Dominica, there is absolutely no comparisons!
Facts, I read all of your comments, and I can tell say you are perhaps the most evil, most hypocrite human alive. Now where it pertains to the mother of Satan, evil wicked, confounded Elizabeth, cat seems to have cut her tongue.
I would like to ask her where is the heart of her blessed Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skerrit the one she claimed God ordained to rule over Dominica? How come Elizabeth, you are not asking Skerrit, why they allow John to be discharged from a Hospital in Martinique to be brought back to Princes Butcher Shop Hospital?
Saverin spent more than a year in Martinique, he returned well, making more than a million dollars playing president. Austrie as far as I understand is still out there, out of the island; I am sure his medical bills are paid by Dominica Taxpayers.
What happen to Patrick John, is he a dog? Most former Prime Ministers of the Caribbean are paid more than ten thousand dollars per month. Even Leblanc got his cut: Has Patrick John received…
Francisco, I only read one line of your comments. This is enough for me. I will not waste my God-given precious time to read your other crap.
:twisted:…
Did I say anything to hurt anyone? I speak the truth. I will not lambaste anyone.
I know who I am. You do not know me. As a matured, sensible adult, I reason matters out and this is my conclusion which is also based on what I know. Thanks be to God.
I think you are the most evil, most hypocrite human being alive. You are not a fair person and full of pretense.
You have a severe mental problem. Do you have any intelligence? It appears not for you do not utilize it.
How happy and peaceful are you? You consistently criticize and make derogatory statements. It appears nothing good pleases you.
Francisco, your comments project who and what you are. You are not more intelligent than I am. I think nothing of you. I am not bothered by your type of comments. They serve no useful purpose.
We are all viewing the predicament of a man who should never be made a public spectacle. Nevertheless, that is suffering caused by poverty. Her is a man who was forced to accept independence from the British. Hence becoming the first Prime Minister of Dominica!
If anything can be proved from his suffering at this moment, is that he faithful served the nation without staling from the country. Had John been a thief, he probably would have enough money to take care of his medical expenses. It is a shame he left one hospital in Martinique, only to be returned to a butcher shop. To me that is an indication he is unable to pay for continued treatment in Martinique.
In spite of his bad error in judgment a few years ago; our nation should have at least if not respect for the man, we should have empathy, therefore the government of Dominica should be responsible for his medical expenses even to the day he die!
Skerrit gave away five hundred thousand dollars to his boy bishop, he…
Skerrit gave away five hundred thousand dollars to his boy bishop, he recently bought eight families for $250,000.00: Give Patrick John a helping hand! The man is human as everyone else, he is Dominican born, a native son, who devoted his entire life to the development of our country.
First in the field of education where he taught secondary education, he should not be treated like a sack of potato’s which fell of a truck on it way to the market. Had it not been Patrick John most of us would never become aware of the way our people suffer, what happens to all the unknown?
They suffer, and die in silent unnoticed! That’s what happens to people when the exists in poverty stricken backward country!
What has your comments to do with this article? Do you not think you are wasting your time? Stick to the issue!
Facts, no matter what the issue it boils down to Skerrit.
You see facts, government is not supposed to give away to people for free as in this case of the $250, 000.00. you see there is a way to do something like that however, the recipient must must get it in a form of a loan, in order to repay. I am sure I am sure you must have heard the term “SBA” (Small Business Association).
In America anybody who have a business plan, or struggling business apply for a loan to open or improve on a small business. However, nothing comes free, one even have to pay to apply for the loan,and there is no guaranty they will be successful in obtaining any money.
Now there are other situations where one can get a grant; there is no repayment, however, no government official simply go in front had hand money for a show for free.
Only in Dominica!
I ask the Heavenly Father to soften my heart and help me to be more humble and forgiving – Because I’ve noticed the higher we fly, the more feathers we lose. Man is as a vapor which appears for a while; then vanishes away.
I do not live in Dominica, but man, allu bowling about the PM, what he is doing and what he is not doing and yet allu are the ones that put him there, take off the veil over your eyes, allu talking about the country bad, crying it down to its best and still allu give Skerritt another 4 years, so what is that saying..GOD BLESS DOMINICA
You had better try and educate yourself, a little bit before you write nonsense and cause yourself some embarrassment, no wonder the majority of you have no name!
What nonsense are you talking about crying down. There is no such word as “allu.” It is supposed to be ” you all, we all they all or maybe ‘all of them.”
If is one thing computer, or a smart phone will do is exposed the stupidity of an individual. Now if for some reason you are into sarcasm, and you used some broken English to express yourself, I could understand the humor. Nevertheless, the you write dictates you are of the lessor intelligent!
“Nevertheless, the you write dictates you are of the lessor intelligent!” ARE YOU SERIOUS?
The problem is with DLP non-supporters as Francisco. They are the ones who are causing it. They are not realistic and consistently judge what they should not judge.
One day they will be judged. I would love to be near them when they are judged for their unloving mannerisms, narrow-mindedness and consistent criticisms which do no good. Their criticisms are not even meant for any good. This goes to show.
When the supreme leader hears of Mr. John’s predicament after easter 2016 he will address this unfortunate situation. Have faith. Super Skerrit will be at the rescue.
Shame on the government. No former head of state should get this kind of disrespect. NONE.
This the PM should ensure never happened. Regardless of political beliefst he is a former PM.
Is this what Christ would do?
This is very heart breaking – are you telling me that they gentleman slept at the casualty department, bear in mind this is the x PM of the country. We knew he was being flown into the island on the particular day – it was our responsibility to ensure that arrangements are in place to accommodate the gentleman. This is un acceptable and a down right shame!!!!
I said it before: If God is looking, not many Dominicans will end up in Heaven. With the state of the country, you know He is no longer walking with this country.
As a Dominican, you will be one of them. What have you done for Dominica or other nationals? The pot calls the kettle black.
Maybe they can find a bed for him at one of the three new hotels soon to be constructed.
I keep telling you people that they don’t care Dominica is FLAT out Broke……..Dead Broke they can’t manage, they can’t function, the money train has come to a grinding halt. Venezuela has ran out of Food, Gadafi killed, China is in Shambles. There is nowhere else he can run to. this man is still talking about building Hotels I mean common sunn how many times can this man fool you people. now you mean to tell me a former Prime Minister cannot get a Bed in our Hospital. this can’t be serious and something has to be done.
Hospitals often run out of beds. I am sure if a bed was available he would get one.
So, dose it have to be a gurney, are there no other type of bed sold in Dominica. If they wanted to accommodate Patrick, they could have found a way, even if it is to set him up in the emergency room! So, stop talking nonsense; stop defending the evil that is taking place in Dominica.
The bed he is lying on in the photograph is about or the same size used in every modern hospital in the developed world; they are all adjustable.
You are indeed correct. Some people do not think and love to criticize.
It is my strong feeling that he would never have been treated in that manner.
I would never recommend that he is not given a bed, a proper one and a room.
If one was available, he would have got it as he did in November and January. There must be an explanation for this.
More plans for hotels/resorts but nothing on the hospital yet, maybe they can put him in the childrens hospital, what a country eh.
Dominicans. An Ex Prime Minister should Never have to be treated like that, no matter who you are or what Party you represent. Just imagine if it was a family member of any of you people making those insensitive comments how would you feel. Dominica will never I mean never move forward if our people are so naïve. So Dominicans enough is enough.
Dominicans stop this …..its not skerritt that’s the problem its you Dominican stop bringing your own people and country down shame on your all….. dominica is a peaceful country with kind and decent people hard working people proud people stop this help show the world that it take a village and a country to raise a fellow in need stop posting all this rubbish help your country because when skerritt and linton is no longer in power dominica will still be your country.
I would want to believe that now the story has found itself on DNO, the medical professionals at the hospital would have already received their instructions from the political directorate to just do something. Do we have to wait for that? Does everything rest on the politician. Shouldn’t the medical professional have acted differently before this matter reached DNO? So who should be blamed for this foolish situation. The PM and his Minister of Health? Did the PM and Dr. Darroux tell the PMH professionals to keep Mr. John in the Casualty? Let us run our mouth. We are free to so do.
So if the wards are filled to capacity, where should the medical professionals put him? Must be at ur home
Better off outside that dump than in it.
Where is the hospital chief incharged he is the one responsible to get a bed for John. He was sent overseas he was sent home why bash the PM. You all are not easy.
This is a serious wake up call for all concerned..citizens as well at politicians. Again, I ask, what is the purpose of the 3 hotels being built? Would updating the hospital not make more sense?? Steupessss
I understood Mr. Patrick John has been a deacon in the Anglican Church in Roseau for several years. Is that Church also one of the Religious Organizations which are benefiting financially from the Skeritt Administration. It is very quiet. We are not publicly hearing from the Church, which he has served with honor, a condemnation of the treatment which the ex Prime Minister is presently receiving.
This is surprising. Was he ever an Anglican? I thought he was a Catholic.
The princess Margaret hotels are coming soon. Okay, back to sipping my tea. Magwasay. Aieeee Dominique. Smh!
Dominica became a communist state in 2000… It just took skeritt to take it to the full state. All dog have their day… And God does not like evil.
Much less if Eddison James or any member of the opposition get sick?? Yes I…. Well the Bible says “children shall rule over them”
And is really a child that is ruling Dominica… If you not singing his song or kissing his … You are in deep ………!!
Former PM or not, this is sad. I would be in Dca kicking up a storm if that was my family member.
He is probably better off staying home than in that hospital. He should have a Dr. or nurse do home visits.
Soweto has now to take up the day to say management of the hospital. Eh las PM. You have enough on your plate. Where are the “Florence Nightingales”? Where the “medium sans frontier “, without political business. Yet you hear them on radio pledging to partisan causes.
Allu good der with allu Skerrit
Everybody has their turn under the sun. One day all PM\’s will get old!
So will you, if you live long enough. Pray that the new hospital will be built by then.
No rooms in the many of hotels either? We need more hotels.
Is this how a past Prime Minister should be treated? Dominica is really becoming a communist location. Look sea salt for people to suck!!!!
The $38000 raised by Dominicans for Linton irresponsibility could of gone to worthy cause as these. I’m sure they could purchase a few folding beds to be kept in storage for when situations like these occur. ALL of us are responsible for the development of the country and not only the government. Let’s out our hard earned dollars to causes that will actually benefit us.
Really?? I thought it was the |GOVERNMENTS responsibility to build health facilities…..next thing you going to tell us to use the money we have to buy our salt to fix the roads too?
I suppose you reside in D/ca which is why you have this mentality. What do you really know?
Nationals should help in constructing a hospital. Sadly, everything falls on the government because some nationals who may be able to afford will never assist or may never consider it. They expect the government to do everything. You should know this and be considerate of the PM. He has a lot on his shoulders.
I reside in a country where hospital management are responsible for constructing as much as a wing of the hospital. Much of the funding is provided by some rich people. The government donates a certain amount which is on behalf of taxpayers’; their money.
They consistently fund-raise and have lotteries to raise funds. Some stores have a box and customers are asked to donate be it their change. They are asked if they would like to donate, be it $2.00. These few dollars could later amount to millions. Hope you learn something from this.
Your lazy no brainer,go and work…UWPites got their money from hard work, you are grovelling and stretching your hand…GO WORK HARD,then you will get money.
@Interesting , the $30 + millions could have done much ,much more .
Yes. all of us should help in the development, but not all of us are paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in salaries and allowances to actually do it!
Go figure…!
Every little count if everyone gives what they can.
The millions spent by skerrit to give allu free sewo in the 2014 elections cud have build a few more rooms and bed and basic things like paracetamol for the hospital…..where was ur conscience then? Didn’t u have those concerns then?
People donate their personal monies government squandering our tax dollars..take that red shades u wearing of ur face..
Folding beds are not comfortable and the hospital does not have enough staff for the patients that it does have. Hospitals are not safe places for patients. You are better off staying at home in bed and having a Dr. come to you as long as there is some family that can take care of you.
“The Honerable Prime Minister Patrick John” Allu forgetting allu history???? He was once PM… While you people trying to blame the current administration for everything.. maybe allu should interview, poor, poor, poor “”The Honerable Prime Minister Patrick John””. Damn you hypocrites.
Don’t understand why DNO’s stories are always misleading or ambiguous.” No beds” simply means that the ward has reached its bed of capacity of patients. It does not mean that there are no beds to lie on
The bed must be in the room which should be available to place him. Having stated that, was he offered a room with some other person and he refused? Is he waiting for a private room? In all fairness, we need to know these matters.
Hospital in the Sky…….
Yet one on the ground……
Dont mind me…..
Only here for the tea!!!
Dominicans all is not a bed of roses every where,,in england many patients are placed on easy chairs when there is no bed,before or after surgery.put someone who is less sick than mr. john on an easy chair and put him on the bed,there is no problem with that,very only people in england sit on easy chairs when there are no beds and still receive adequate treatment ,,,the hospital also should have in provision extra foldable beds and easy chairs in order to welcome emergency cases,what about if there in a major accident e.g bus,volcano or house fire where many people needs treatment at the same time…Are they waiting for a serious emergency to occur in order to prepare the needs of the public?This is not an emergency case and the gov’t cannot supply one bed for one man who is counted among the population? We must take this example seriously my country dominica is in a real mess,,,When will this end?We need a change now.
In England they have to either bed admitted on a ward within 4 hours or the hospital will be charged. On compare England with Dominica. The patients in England must be given that respect and dignity that they deserve. In Dominica they are treated like rubbish.
I am now letting you know that this is what you think,every hospital in england have bed and extra easy chairs to put people to lay down,whether you are white or black.
That none sense you just spoke about saying they must be bed admitted or they will be charged that is not true at all,someone can remain so long awaiting medical help after they are taken into the hospitals some die because they waited too long on a stretcher,ambulance driver when they are called ,some of them park the vehicle with the sick patient and go to the shops to buy food,this is happening in england,,there is a box which is ticked on an old patient file because when you are old most times they do not pay much attention to you they rather see you die,no the politicians are talking about it so that they can un-tick that box,even babies mouths a scotch taped to prevent them from crying,doctors rape children that are not far from dying,there is more evil things happening in UK than any where..
cb, why don’t you shot the hell up. Do you think that Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher would be treated that way in England. Just shot up.
FEDUP you read but don’t understand ,i never said that this man should be treated that way,this is not what i said,i am not the one who left him where he is ,if the gov’t did not make any provision for extra beds that is the way it should be…nonetheless easy chairs take less space than a bed,,thats is why i said why can’t they take some else who is less sick and give him the bed,,,read because you surely have a reading “difficiency”
i made many mistake but i am certain that intelligent people got the point…
The same in Canada – Toronto. It is a grave concern.
I have heard some stories as also relayed through the Media.
I pray God that I will never get sick, if this is possible.
Some people are in a passage for as much as three days.
The hospitals are told that they should decrease the waiting time in Emergency.
As I have stated, we should do our utmost to take proper/better care of ourselves so as to avoid certain illnesses. I reiterate, if that is possible.
But we getting 3 more hotels………..smh………Sominica not ready yet.
Good point ,3 more hotels and only one man cannot get a bed to rest in the hospital, what a shame…hostels are not a priority in a country ,health is above all a priority…
Look at it this way. Hotels, if successful, bring in a lot of money.
How much money will the hospital generate?
The money from the hotel will help build and maintain the hospital.
How about that?
No love, no care, no respect what do ever
Why,what is this country becoming? Load of crap if u ask me
Are you implicating it is going to the dogs?
I would doubt that. Have confidence.
You should do what you can for your country. Helping it should give you a sense of satisfaction.
Filled with confidence, this would make you think positively; not negatively.
I sincerely believe that Dominica is not making real, meaningful progress. Right now, the effort is to prevent Dominica from slipping into the precipice. But those efforts are little. Where there is no vision, no national consciousness and the absence of good governance, the people will perish.
Did you mean Dominica? By itself? Or would it be certain nationals, those who talk more and do less or nothing at all and criticize and debase their country as you.
So if no beds are available at the hospital should they make one magically appear because he is a former PM?Until we have traveled to other countries to see what others endure we will not stop crying down on our own.In certain countries patients are to sit outside of the emergency room for more than 24 hours sometimes two days before beds are made available.Here, we at least give patients a bed at the emergency room leaving no room for actual emergencies.We talk too much in Dominica when we know nothing.We simply need to begin taking better care of ourselves so that the hospital can have beds available for when patients need to be admitted.The hospital is facing a great ordeal where all wards are filled to capacity with center beds and no space to put additional patients.So, what should be done in this case?If there is no space, what do we really expect the administration to do?We need to be reasonable, he at least has somewhere to lay his head while they await discharges from a ward.
I don’t make a fuss about people like you because one day you or your family will be in the same soup now I wonder how you’re gonna enjoy the gravy?
you seem to know it all Mr. Annoyed so feel free to enlighten us in the meantime let dominicans speak!!!! while Democrasy still reigns!! AA
Democracy! Emeh palay eveh toujour wrong
That’s is certainly bullocks…That does not happen in the UK. Never do patients be sitting outside an emergency unit…They need to been seen within 4 hours…The problem is no beds…which is quite a sad situation. ..someOne needs to take responsibility. ..It is just bad management of Dominica.
Family
Don’t come with that uppity nonsense about what doesn’t happen in the UK. I am not defending any inefficiency in Dominica or anywhere else, but I’ve been in the UK for some time too and I can tell you some choice stories which made me pray every day never to get sick there, free national health services notwithstanding.
As for the US, if your insurance is not talking they ain’t touching you. some of the poorer citizens actually live with their illnesses as they can’t afford insurance and wait until it becomes an emergency to rush to the hospital when they hope they won’t be turned away from the Emergency services.
I’m fed up with some Dominicans in the Diaspora who are more miserable than some of us here could ever be, then run their mouths about Dominica!
A little country with less than 78,000 people. An election campaign that spend millions in 30 days. You making excuses for that nonsense? Annoyed you annoying me right now. We should be able to take better care of our own.
Only in Dominica, Mr john is a former PM of Dominica and should be treated better than that once and for all, this is a disgrace and shame on the so call Labour Party Skerrit and his boys, just remember that there are billionaires and millionaires putting guns to their heads, cannot enjoy the wealth etc and dying like rats in caves and other deplorable state, also remember that there is a season and time for everything in life, just take a lo8k at your fingers and you will see what I am talking about
Or are you ridiculous Dominicans proposing that someone be placed out Iin order to accommodate the pass PM. Come on people we to often take things out of context . Take the story as it is. The hospital is to its maximum capacity with patients hence no space that’s the issue nothing more nothing less. For weeks all types of people have stayed their entire admission course at the A & E department. Come people this barge of honor IGNORANCE, we wear so proudly in the name of FREEDOM OF SPEECH, put it down already . STUUPS. ..Only a fool speaks not knowing all the facts…

Consider this. I would also state, a few of those beds are taken up by those who were attacked by lawless people. If only they didn’t attack them. Due to this, their victims needed a hospital bed/room. In this case, there probably would have been more empty beds and rooms.
OMG ” family member stated, adding that the situation is tantamount to ‘punishment” this statement sent shivers thru my body, when i think of all PJ contributions too Dominica and chalo is president today rushing first on the American health ship, i ask myself if there is a GOD!
There is a God and He is not asleep.
Do not blame the hospital management. It may not be willful.
I do not think it is their fault. I am certain they want a comfortable bed and also a private room for PJ.
Did Charlo plot a coup on Dominica? Tell me what wrong has Charlo done to his Country
While I understand how the family feels, I have been a patient at two of the top ranked hospital in Manhattan New York. at one I waited 13 hours before a bed was assigned and at the other I waited two whole days. The reality is if all beds are filled, the staff has to wait until someone has been discharged to take him in, especially with our limited hospital spaces.
We hope however, considering the fact that he served in one of the highest capacities in the country that he would be given priority treatment. I want to wish Mr. John and his family the best. I will pray for your family.
well said; one of the few comments that made sense. no beds does not mean no beds on the hospital compound or in the storage; it means no physical space to accommodate any more beds; go take a look; there are beds all along the passageway; DNO stop the sensationalism and stop misleading people.
I believe you. They cannot throw out/discharge any of the patients prematurely. They will have to wait until one becomes available. May it be soon. In the meantime I hope he is comfortable.
It is indeed embarrassing that the hospital has run out of beds. This happens all the time. However, PM or not the hospital cannot put someone out of the hospital before he’she is truly ready to be discharged. Because then that person’s family might end up grieving the loss of a family member because he’she didn’t receive full medical care because space had to be made for someone else simply because he is a former PM. We have to be fair. As long as he’s getting the attention he needs for the short time he’ll be at the casualty then we just need to have a little patience. Our hospital is not the best but it’s what we have. Hopefully our new hospital will be commissioned as promised.
stop leaving in a fools paradise tell me which government minister would come into hospital for them to say they dont have bed teelll me please i really wana know… plz stop being naive cause if they had to get a bed they jolly would.. this is the kind of rediculous country we live in and you saying have patience.. patience does run out in the meantime hospitals flying in the skies till 2018 2019 we as citizens have to suck salt nd who cannot travel to make the grade to seek attention further when needed left to mourn hmm i think it have more wicked dominicans in the mix up than the athorities responsible schm!!
The PM and his associates don’t do any business at PMH, they all fly out of the country they have put in turmoil, it is not good for them or their family but it is what the citizens have and yet still we do not appreciate the hard work the Nurses and Doctors to do to provide the health care we need!!!!!!
what if the Nurses and Doctors decide they are not working for 24 hours, what will we Dominicans say and do????????????????
Until it is a total dictatorship the government in power represents the heart of the people. For every corrupt politician elected there are a bunch of corrupt people who voted for him.
You my dear friend are not looking at the situation wisely.. they are not implying that preference be made for him .. it is just ridiculous that someone has to wait that long knowing their condition to get a bed at yhe hospital. If we are so boasting our heath care systems beda should be readily avaiable.. because I’m sure if it was the Prime minister roosvelt skerrit , a bed would have already beeb there days beforw he arrives. Ooops my bad.. he would mever even think of visiting the hospital because it is too poor for him.. stop being so heart less.. this is a sick man we are talking about.. i
If only the critics would think beyond. There were beds available prior to Carnival which was only last week. Think of those who were attacked by criminals who needed a hospital bed/room.
Are the two elderly ladies who were attacked by the rapist still in the hospital?
This may account for the lack of beds.
Now most of us who did not understand what Alix Knight meant when she said, ” it is better to be Red then dead, ” I hope we understand now. If Mr. John was singing from the same hymn sheet as Skeritt, he could never be languishing in an emergency ward for hours. Savarin was partly responsible for the demise of the DLP under the leadership of Mr. John, though embarrassing, they found an uncomfortable area in the hospital to house him, but he had his privacy. It is rumored, Mr. John is a supporter of the UWP, therefore, he must be punished for not being Red, he has to pay the price.
Thou shalt not judge that ye not be judged and two-fold.
Do you have a thinking cap? Put it on and contemplate on why there is a shortage of beds/rooms.
Oh dear! If that is really the case, I think the hospital administrator could have stepped in to find a place in the hospital for Mr. John. The ward is probably full, but alas, there must be some ward with at least a bed, perhaps Stronach or somewhere else in the hospital. Casuality staff will not put him in the hallway but magway sar.
KARMA
when will it end dominicans when,? the opening of our eyes is there for us to look and see make sense of what little you get. ALL I SAY TO THE MASSES TAKE GOD AS YOUR LEADER FOLLOW HIM THINGS WILL BE JUST FINE
If u ask me this is a disgrace, this is torment OMG i mean how can we talk about committment and support to a former PM and yet still treat the man in such a disgraceful and disrespectful manner i pray to god that he keeps u and watch over u mr john because the hospital and its staff its sad to say stand for their own because i have never read or witnessed no government minister reaching or being admitted to this institution and passing or experiencing such horror treatment its better if u could have just stayed martnique and recouperate.. sighss Mehn WE REALLY HAVE HOSPITALS IN THE SKY.. JUST ONE ON THE GROUND AND HE WHO GOES THERE SURELY DIES.. SHAME!! I pray for my self family and others to be protected and shiedl us from this hospital cause god alone knows!!
