Mr. Perez resided on a small island with less than 1,000 people. He was NOT in the capital that has Tertiary health care services. Why not direct your rage at the person that shot him in the first place.

One would think that the family of the victim would be more concerned and place more effort in trying to find the perpetrator that killed their relative. Mr. Perez was shot multiple times in the chest which contains the aorta, heart and the lungs...he likely exsanguinated ie. bled out. It only takes minutes to bleed your entire blood volume out. Bimini is a small island with a small population. There is no tertiary level hospital there as the population does not demand it. Mr. Perez required surgery if he had any chance of survival...shot six times in the chest...he likely wouldnt have survive whether he was in the Bahamas or the US. Flying a victim of a shooting out before the police can conduct an proper investigtion and collect forensic evidence isnt proper. If the family had 100,000 to fly out Mr. Perez as they claim why didnt they take that same money and fly him to Nassau to Doctors Hospital for emergency surgery? Doctors Hospital is a Level A hospital and closer than Florida and would have required less paperwork. Not a word about the perpetrator instead criticism of the medical staff in Bimini...I smell a rat.

A death in PMH does not automatically equate to negligence. This article is presenting a very one sided and medically inaccurate view of what transpired.

An attempt to bias how we view the victims...i.e. good girl gone bad...good girl who got caught up with the wrong fella etc. For all we know she may have been knee deep in nefarious activities. The school she went to doesnt matter.

What was the purpose of emphasizing that the female victim who is approximately 12 years out from having graduated high school was a former student of Queen's College? What does that add to the story? What school did the male victim attend?

I am with the government on this one. The shift change is in no way unprecedented or new in anyway. Nurses are upset that this shift change will cut into their ability to work at other jobs..simple as that. The outcry that it would be unsafe and that they need time to recuperate is garbage. Do you know how many shift workers we have in this country? Police officers, defense force officers, customs officers, security officers, hotel workers, who at most will have one or two days off a week if they lucky. Physicians that work in PMH on those busy wards may get 1 or two days off in a month depending on patient load. Nurses get two 15 minute breaks, an hour for lunch, four days off during the week during which time they can rake in the overtime, or work other places and yet still the health care system is crumbling. In this country paying people more money does not equate to greater productivity unfortunately. While these nurses strike and protest and walk off the job, their filipino and other foreign counterparts are holding down the fort which is usually the case on any given day. There are hard working Bahamian nurses and there are lousy ones, but there is a serious sense of entitlement in that nurses union.

The level of slackness in this country is appalling. Nobody has a sense of responsibility and obligation anymore. If you cannot or will not afford to pay, make room for someone who can and is willing. How can any reasonable thinking individual expect that they can go through life and not pay their bills.
