My sympathy to Mr Bain over the loss of his Mother. I do know the heartbreak of medical mistreatment or as in the care of his poor Mother- grossly inadequate treatment.

While blood loss can be common after pinning for a femoral neck fracture, the need for three transfusions seems excessive.
The terrible and very painful third stage bedsores, the UTIs, the onset of Pneumonia all indicate a fundamental failure to address and follow a proactive treatment plan (like constant repositioning & providing bed equipment to prevent/alleviate bedsores & the pain), as well as providing basic physician & nursing care required for such patients as Mrs Bain.
Her MD should have ordered a CT scan & complete blood work after the first transfusion, followed by more bloodwork & an MRI after #2 and #3!

Basic adequate nursing care includes monitoring patient vitals and given all that befell this poor lady at PMH that seems sorely lacking here.
The fact the nurses reported to Mr Bain that his Mum was sleeping when it sounds as if she had already been subsumed by shock is very telling.

One can only assume that Mrs Bain needed a hip replacement and her doctors, the PMH administration did not intend to provide such because of her age and/or it was contraindicated. Instead of being straight with her, her family they just waited for the inevitable.
The very least they should have done was to ensure the short time she had left on this earth was not one of excruciating pain.
And unfortunately given her Syphilis diagnosis it adds to a picture of a fundamental moral problem in this particular hospital.
We all experience the small embarrassing indignities that come in hospital, but the loss of one’s humanity is an entirely different plane of abuse. PMH didn’t respect Mrs Bain enough to care for her medically; worse, worse, they didn’t ensure that an elderly woman held bound in her bed by traction protection from rape.

Oh please! These jokers have been promising Bahamian women a shelter since the day they were elected: the money was allocated, oops not yet!
The purchase was made…nope that was a lie, the facility was being constructed…nope it was to be leased… and still no allocation of funds, no construction plans…nothing out for tender.
No such facility exists, and they think they have the perfect cover-the secrecy for security.

So let’s be real here, NP is an island of gabbers, there’s no secrets here.
Foolishness, like ignoring the purpose of these shelters, to shield from violence and care for the women and children of these islands has put lives at risk. Get it?
And the ones praying for God’s protection?
Those same traumatized women and children for they know Davis&Co have no will to make Bahamian lives better, least of all these women and children

Oh for Pete’s sake!
Is there anything Davis&Co has accomplished purely for the sake of Bahamian people?
I thought not.
And why isn’t this building raised above the flood levels reached during Hurricane Dorian??

Mr Bhatti has certainly mastered the language of Davis&Co’s gov-speech.
They’re always fashioned as improving ie. “insert gov-affiliated and/or controlled venture here”
“Is poised”, “will generate”, “he predicts” (but without any evidence is always a perquisite for this statement), “is evolving”, “you’re going to see”, “will now start”, “going forward”, “is going to kick in”, “start to see new revenue streams”.

We get the added hilarity of “lumpy revenue”, and “it’s not an actual decline but an apparent decline”.
I surmise from this presser like so many others of the same ilk that the more leaden with Davis&Co hogwash wrapped in honeyed superlatives, the steamier the pile at the center!

Why should Mr Pintard offer additional evidence to that already presented by Mr Thompson?

“Mr Davis said that the Parliamentary Commissioner Harrison Thompson stated that approximately 15,000 names had been removed because they were confirmed to have deceased. According to Mr Davis, Mr Thompson indicted that from 2017 to the present date about 15,000 had been removed. He added that even before 2017, there were names in the register of persons who had died but had not been removed.”

So there you have the evidence.
However why is such a list secret in the first place?
Shouldn’t the changes of every year’s voters list be made available for the public as well as the subsequent up-to date voter roll be available to ensure the transparency this ‘new day’ has supposedly sought for all Bahamians?

I am curious about Mr Davis Freudian slip regarding errors that Mr Thompson may have made. He states “if you have the evidence the law provides the Parliamentary Commissioner- he’s human right? And like every one else, WE’RE prone to error”

Dr Davis makes sense, however the application of good sense in the Bahamas requires the will to make this palatable to Bahamians. That carrot has never worked here.

Davis is extending his slippery seal act by mocking his own citizens’ intelligence in claiming they’re comparing their current power bill to that which they paid in January, “consumption is up!”.
Does he really think Bahamians are so dumb they can’t figure out it’s hotter in the summer so they use more power?
Or they cannot see that comparing their July 2024 power bill to this year shows they’re paying more for roughly (so far) the same number of days over 90*?

That sort of contempt only makes the boot a surer bet!

So this entitled SOB rapes a woman with full knowledge of his HIV status, what his act would condemn her to and he’s whinging about the prison’s capacity to maintain his meds, ie. keep his miserable self alive??

Ms Lightbourn’s opinion, based on the reality of her experience within the Bahamas health systems and supporting her fellow nurses is one that needs to be heeded.
And besides she’s not telling us anything we do not already know.

And if some miracle occurs and this hospital isn’t built, that $300M (less the usual ‘gratuities’ to Davis&Co & cronies) wouldn’t be enough, far from enough to bring this government’s health facilities to a passing grade of effective services for this nation.

And I’m sure the nurses hired as well as other professionals are part of the deal w/China to bump their data on employment.
Private hospitals need to be funded by private interests and certainly not this government!

Well given all the skullduggery and payoffs to the Christie PMO and all his cronies, the Chinese have good reason to make hay while Davis&Co are still in a position to pick the pockets of Bahamians!
