Your remarks seldom offer sensible insight and obviously the new year brings no correction!
Dr Sands has consistently spoken out concerning the dashed expectations of Bahamian healthcare patients under Davis&Co.

And it matters not how many cataract surgeries were performed under his stewardship but rather how the false healthcare promises, and the quality of healthcare under Darville’s leadership have negatively impacted lives.

For myself I’m confused as to Dr Darville’s explanation in this matter.
It doesn’t make sense.
When a doctor refers their patient for cataract surgery surely his/her medical record is forwarded to this program? Is that not being read?
Are they not contacting the patient with the needed protocols?
Or is Darville implying that Family Island residents are stupid?

And why would Family Island patients (or any patients) who are ready for and healthy enough for surgery be left waiting and/or sent home etc?
Surely if the person at the top of the appointment list is found to have a condition that forbids their surgery wouldn’t that mean the next patient gets taking care of ahead of their appointment ie. no waiting?

If a patient presents as noncompliant with their meds etc. there is no way they’d be told to come back tomorrow but instead need to be seen by an MD as soon as possible.

Or as one suspects, are these common administrative tasks beyond the capacity of this program for lack of qualified staff and/or funds?

It is unconscionable that this poor woman was treated so horrIbly by PMH.
They knew right away of her dangerously white count, she was clearly in terrible pain yet they stuck her in a chair for days in the ER??

And worse it took them 14 days to make a diagnosis that still demanded a host of invasive tests that it sounds as tho she never had. And all the while she suffered in pain from her symptoms which cried out for immediate action in order to save her life.
And it’s not shocking and thats is the tragedy of the Bahamas.

And Darville has confiscated her medical file, “ which cannot be changed”, there’s a Freudian slip for you!
And this Chief Bozo along with the rest of the looters Davis&Co would have us believe they want to build another hospital to serve the Bahamian people, but not another Davis&Co cash cow/slush fund?
They cannot provide care at PMH they don’t have the staff or the money, so…?
And Darville says he awaits the Chinese go-ahead, ie.to get their hands on the loot.
After that there will be a lineup of supplicants out tbe door at the OPM!

How about the facts? Since Mr Mitchell’s explanation for his government failure to contribute to to progress in the Bahamas for its citizens (the fortunes of it’s politicians are doing much better tho!)
Nor can anyone, least of all this person point to any meaningful investment in this nation’s people nor its children.

The Bahamas’ inflation rate compared to that in the US.
The past five years as per tradingeconomics.com
‘20 us-1.4%/bs 04%
‘21 “. 7%bs 2.91%
‘22. “. 6.5%/bs 5.61%
‘23. “. 3.4%/bs 3.06%
‘24. “. 2.9%/bs 0.41%
‘25. “. 2.7%/bs 0.45%

The last Keystone Cops comedy movie of bumbling, and inept police was made just over 100 years ago in 1917, and no police force realizes those incompetents at work like our own RBPF.

Unfortunately for Bahamians unlike the silly antics portrayed, our police rampant with corruption and ineptitude ruins the lives of its own citizenry.

I just read the story of Anastasia Johnston diagnosed with ovarian cancer and unable to cover the costs involved that could save her life, then this man’s story.

Roker was able to cover his medical costs always more expensive when dealing with metastatic prostate cancer, for his hospital stay, his chemo and then radiation therapy.

And while its likely true he had a health plan through the RBPF, the co-pays for these expensive drugs, treatments, and hospital stays, even at a 20-50% reduction is still a huge blow to any budget especially given the pay for a Chief Petty officer.
And yet Roker was able to continue his treatments to recover and to return to work which leads one to question his contention this was his first criminal act.

One Mother will likely not survive her illness for lack of money; one man survived his because he had an additional source of money, yet he squandered his reprieve.

Also kudos to the young Mr Pinder and his friends for their efforts to save this baby’s life!

I don’t know if the Bahamas follows the same law as the UK in cases of infanticide or it’s attempt for babes under 18 mos, but the baby’s Mother isn’t charged if she’s found to suffer postpartum depression.
The Father is another matter altogether! Obviously someone was wise enough to keep his own children from harm by removing them from his home.
So why hasn’t he been charged for aiding and abetting in the attempted murder of his own child?
It’s been acknowledged that it takes alot of work to change the prejudicial nature of Bahamian ‘justice,’ far longer than four years. And yet despite all their promises the current gang of thieves Davis&Co have only worked at undermining any inroads made by the previous government.

Who’s overseeing the allocation of funds and/or their use in scheduling the regular maintenance that usually prevents this incompetent management?

And who’s preparing the additional power generation for service?
Given BPL’s record one can likely assume this overhaul hasn’t begun and will not until this scheduled crisis of mismanagement finds another temporary fix.

There are a few facts known of the circumstances of this unfortunate man’s death that make the police response to his grieving family dubious at best.

We know the RBPF is experienced investigating hit and runs this being a too ready response by many Bahamians when they mow each other down. And given the plethora of evidence this particular murderous motorist left behind, this one hardly seems onerous!
For by abandoning Mr Gibson to his fate pinned underneath his vehicle, the suspect left a a ready made trail to his identity and whereabouts.

So why isn’t he/she incarcerated? Why the lies? While Mr Gibson’s sisters are likely not puzzled (neither are we) as to why the suspect in their brother’s murder was held without charge for 2 days until a ‘suitable’ lawyer was found to slip him out, again without charge such perversion of the law even if typical must feel intolerable.
For they’d likely read here of similar cases and suspects with less damning evidence charged and adjudicated within days of their crime and/or arrest but without “a Coroner’s Court”.

It’s gratifying to at least read here of their frustration and grief at being lied to and their insistence glaring injustice aside, that this criminal be held accountable.
Just as these pages have given voice to all other victims of ‘judicial misconduct’.

So again the RBPF is culpable of an unjust and criminal act, ie. obstructing an investigation in order to prevent a killer brought to justice. Allowing yet another dangerous criminal to prey upon us, in this case a murderous motorist is literally given the license to use his weapon of choice against unsuspecting victims.

This continual refusal to abide by the laws and regulations governing this country is the de facto system we the ‘unconnected and unfavoured’ must live under.
That cruel reality is we send our children off to school, put them in our cars and/or set off to work by walking, jitney riding or driving without knowing who’s driving the vehicles round us. Are they someone of murderous indifference or intent?
We’ll not know until he/she commits their crime, we’ll likely never know if they’re a serial criminal and the odds of justice??

Lil Chester is now giving Bahamians assurances that Davis&Co will protect their right to hold fast to their birthright?
Haven’t we seen this roadshow before?
