True! I also said I was told *dont trust someone just because theyre in a white coat, here or in the US* which I guess would qualify as "more prestigious"
Yes they have enough money, but its useless without a country strategy. I recently found out that President Xi is a biiiigggg sports fan and promotes national fitness. If our people were fit, PMH wouldnt have as many challenges. But we have no strategy for "fit". We just jumped up and down because another fast food joint with processed fats and sugars is opening and will employ 600 people. Good for people with jobs but does it fit our strategy? Maybe, cuz we dont have one...
The other non-money element is standards. If there were standards "*dangerous*" doctors could be identified more easily
Had a family member who went through rigors of COVID infection and is today 1 year later still suffering from "*weird*" biological after effects. Noone diagnosed the after effects as COVID related but they're weird and the only variable change was COVID. I dont think COVID bites but I dont want it and try to wear a mask in crowded environments
And you may have missed it but I repeated at COVID's peak that it was only affecting 0.05% of the population . I was against universal vaccination. My cry was then and still is more clarity on who were these 0.05% and why.
But just because the a doctor works in both places, it doesnt mean that doctor will treat you or that they will give you the respect they give a client at the more prestigious hospital. We're all human and subject to biases.
You also have a greater risk of being exposed to treatment by an unsupervised intern. I recall a personal experience with a family member being giving a diagnosis by a doctor at that hospital, when I relayed the information to an individual with knowledge their response was *that's complete nonsense*. It turns out the doctor had no clue of the correct diagnosis that simply required a course of antibiotics but was deadly if untreated. They treated the symptoms but did no analysis to understand, and literally had no knowledge of the cause. When told the cause they said "*that's not it*". And they spoke with authority, that's where the danger is. Me and you with no medical training dont know the difference
The problem is PMH has too many lay people being exposed to bad advice with no expert supervision. I was told years ago that if babies were dying at the rate that adults were, alarm bells would be going off but when an adult dies, especially someone over 60 we tend to say *it was their time*, we dont question/examine if anything unusual happened with the treatment
And I was told by another prominent physician at the prestigious hospital, "*dont trust everybody in a white coat, here or abroad*"
Ok so I agree with you, I dont believe COVID bites either but from what I understand, while you and I walk around carrying COVID unawares because the threat to the population at large is clearly over (for now at least), there are categories of people for which COVID is **extremely** deadly, like delta variant when it first showed up deadly, one such category being pregnant women. (I still say we need more data on how this affects Bahsmians)
I dont believe pregnant women are under the same leveff l of threat from the seasonal flu. That being said, **if** this was COVID, it is a **public* health matter therefore not a secret or a natiomal security issue to be hidden to protect the country's tourism goose, the public should be informed in clear terms, not an abstract "*we had a number of people with "non communicable diseases" flood A&E*"
She was in an *isolation* ward, did she have COVID? Is the min. Of Health giving us a true picture of what is happening? Was the recent 40 person insurgence at pmh covid related? If it was and they said nothing they've completely failed us. Their job is not to cover up for good tourism numbers. Its "public" health. I'm going to bet the solution they come up with is no patient can go in with a cellphone

We need to identify causes. Maybe volunteers don't address the cause.
