When we receive the Chinese gift of our brand new hospital, everything will be just fine. Well, just ask the Afghans. <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/shanghaiist.com\/2012\/10\/04\/the_chinese_built_hospital_thats_to.php\">Click here.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I will posit a brief historical analysis. Please correct me where I am wrong. Jump high, jump low, at the end of the day, we Dominicans have to make our own decisions and govern ourselves accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>In the 1980\u2019s and 90\u2019s, the Eugenia Charles government laid the solid groundwork for Dominica\u2019s healthcare system. Succeeding administrations seize the baton and bolt with it. As a result, Dominica\u2019s healthcare is touted as a model for the developing world. In those days of Dr. Bernard Sorhaindo, patients would travel from other eastern Caribbean countries for surgical care in Dominica. Imagine that! Today, many patients fear Princess Margaret Hospital. Those who can, flee on the first flight out, beginning with those at the top. How far have we fallen!<\/p>\n<p>I have publicly commended Health Minister, Hon. Kenneth Darroux on his outstanding personal performance in Petite Savanne in the aftermath of Erika. I have called, written and visited his office on several occasions to discuss matters of concern, to no avail.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Passive or active recipients?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My Urgent Care medical office is located near the Stadium entrance. As I was leaving my office for the day, I was asked to treat a Chinese national who had fallen and seriously injured himself while repairing the scoreboard. I found it interesting they did not take him to Casualty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNi Hao!\u201d I offered confidently in my limited Chinese. The excited patient unleashed a torrent of Mandarin that made my head swim.\u00a0 Okay, let\u2019s stick to English.<\/p>\n<p>I inquired through a translator, which Dominicans were working with him. None, was his reply. I wondered, so long we have the Stadium, why were no local persons trained to do the job? Is scoreboard operations rocket science? Don\u2019t we have the intelligence or is it the old strategy to keep us dependent. Stadium management routinely complains that instruction manuals are in Mandarin, not up to certain international codes, fixtures rusting, cannot source spare parts \u2013 they have to keep waiting on the Chinese. I\u2019m just a doctor so I cannot speak with authority on such things. I pray to God that those blessed with the appropriate expertise will have the courage to set the record straight.<\/p>\n<p>As I said before, Dominicans are very grateful for the Stadium and I routinely defend the rights and contributions of our Chinese friends. But don\u2019t take us for granted. Likewise, the brand new hospital is a fait accompli. Loan or gift, the ink has dried on the agreement. I strongly recommend a board of local architects, engineers and builders to monitor and TO BE INVOLVED IN THE CONSTRUCTION in the public interest. That\u2019s what the Grenadian government demanded \u2013 and got!<\/p>\n<p>Did someone not say this? \u201cNeither do people pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You see that circus atmosphere surrounding the lawsuit of nurse suing doctors for negligence and incompetence in her breast cancer care? For sure, malpractice happens everywhere. But here\u2019s why in developed countries such things do not reach this dismal state. Is it true that the Attorney General failed to respond to a proper request from Trinidad for additional information? I am no legal expert, but it sounds to me this would be tantamount to pleading the 5<sup>th<\/sup>: I refuse to testify on the grounds that I will incriminate myself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The way forward<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I am former Medical Advisor to the Cancer Society in Seneca County Ohio and current Medical Advisor to the Dominica Cancer Society. I have performed hundreds of breast biopsies and scores of mastectomies. I feel for this nurse because my entire training is geared to prevent compounding such unnecessary disasters. Be assured I will never ever trade my right to speak for the ultimate privilege of operating at Princess Margaret Hospital where I was born. No one can block me forever. Having a new structure is important &#8211; revamping professionalism and integrity even more so. This is the new wine that we need.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-153399\" src=\"http:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Dr.-Sam-Jan-23.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Sam Jan 23\" width=\"526\" height=\"495\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Dr.-Sam-Jan-23.jpg 526w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Dr.-Sam-Jan-23-300x282.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 526px) 100vw, 526px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Morale is at an all-time low and malaise is at an all-time high in Dominica. This year\u2019s crop of calypsos colourfully captures that, don\u2019t you think? It is sad that so many have given up on the vision. Such a defeatist, docile attitude\u2026 Brace yourself! In the coming years, our healthcare system will be returned to it former glory. And you will be part of it! Competence and experience will be celebrated, not shunned. We will leverage our medical schools to make Dominica a wellness haven, a tranquil and polite place to live and work, to refresh and recharge.<\/p>\n<p>Thank God for readers like you that give us hope. We will fulfill our national goal of a people strong healthy. We will monitor new hospital construction closely using our collective wisdom. Given the plight of the Afghan Health Ministry described in that documentary, we do not have the option of messing up PMH any further. Where would we go? Marigot Hospital? No way will we allow another white elephant to trample our development aspirations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr. Sam Christian is a syndicated columnist focusing on health-related development issues.
