The take home message is this. If you are feeling ill and you wait until you're passing out sick, you may have benefited from seeking help sooner. Bless her soul but too many people take their symptoms lightly. Often these stories are those when patients present late and there is nothing else that could be done. So to everyone out there. If you are sick, it is better to spend the time to call or see a doctor than to end up at the end of your rope. And for God's sake stop blaming PMH doctors and nurses who work 80+ hours a week on a salary less than a garbage man's at an institution nobody pays to use but always complains about when they don't get their way.

You don't know anything about the system but yet like an empty barrel you're making the most noise. No.....new doctors cannot just find a job in the private sector if they are good. You have to work in the public sector and complete requirements before being given a private license. And the government doctors save more lives with minimal resources working 90+ hours a week without overtime or compensation. But no you would expect them to be paid less than a garbageman, taxi driver or teacher? So would you work 90+ hours a week for 30K having to deal with ungrateful persons like yourself who are in hospital mostly because they don't accept their diagnosis, don't even know their medication much less take the medication? And then there are persons who would spend 200 dollars on a hairstyle for a party/wedding but find it hard to pay the $15 a visit to see the doctor if they're sick or $<200 surgical fee if they need it. Educate yourself before you become vocal about things you don't know. Because all you do is confuse the issue.

Why is this even an issue? Why do you need an apology if your stats are sound? Just show him the numbers and if he insist that they aren't correct tell him show you the correct values so that you could take them into account. There is no fault in casting doubt on a scientific based organization, because if we accept anything blindly we would be even greater fools.

Tal you must be stupid. Let someone enter into your hotel room and get caught with your jewelry. When they say we were only dusting it I hope you let them off the hook. All this only shows our tourist is that Bahamians will go into your hotel room and go through your things.

@Rory you are one pretentious ignorant bastard of a man. The sad thing isn't even that you're an asshole but the fact that you are an asshole that believes the bullshit that you are saying. Thinking in one dimension is a gift only special people such as yourself possess; I pity you. You argue like a crack head or child, without facts or knowledge but by loud name calling and jeers. I hope you find that yellow bring road and ask the wizard for the brain you obviously lost a while ago.

As I read your comments it confirms that those most ignorant of a situation make the most assumptions. The cameras cover over 80% of all parking facilities at Pmh... may be over 90% at this point and being as Pmh is a public facility they must aid even the homeless... Who knew. And many of your statements are just plane wrong... I would like you to attempt to walk into Pmh and access someone's medical record and see what that gets you.

And furthermore you need to understand that Pmh with its 32 plus specialties represents one of the most concentrated areas of medical knowledge in this part of the world... all within one one 400 bed facility supporting 350,000 persons. It might not be ideal but you need to understand the burden placed on the public health system is great. We as a nation are killing ourselves because we are a fat nation who instead of walking two blocks we hop in cars... Eventually having that stroke or heart attack... Then look at the doctor to save you. And the worst thing is that they give you your medications, inform you about your condition and needed lifestyle changes and those people same persons don't take their own health as priority and take their meds. These persons don't even take the time out to remember what they sick with. Then they turn around and complain that they wait X hours to get serve at Pmh after feeling bad all week when they could have gone to a clinic, but now they feeling terrible. And still not taking their medication. And did you realize this is one of fifty persons all who getting medical attention free or dirt cheap. So before you condemn the work of pmh and the public health sector educate yourself. I invite you to go to any free health care facility and get the service you get at Pmh. Or go to these other places you go to with ten dollars in your pocket and watch them turn you around.

Ignorance and fear of change leads to anger. The truth of the situation is that you rory simply do not know. Backwood is one of many ways someone uses weed. Some stuff cigarettes, others unroll cigars, some use papers, pipes, vaporizer, tea or cakes. If The Bahamas continue to clench onto outdated laws, which we never understood to begin with, while the counties where we adapted it from realize their mistake and legalize it we will be left behind. Let me ask you why is marijuana illegal? This plant which has been proven over and over through proper research that it is less physically addictive than cough syrup which you buy in the grocery, and people overdose on yearly. This plant which has a mortality rate of zero that you cannot ingest a Lethal dose of. This plant which reduces your risk factors for medical illness. The truth is it makes no sense. If legalized the Bahamas could farm hemp for its fibers and oil and create a booming export business, or even boost tourism. The fact is the illegality of marijuana has only served to burden the Bahamian community by fostering the gangster lifestyle and place financial strain on the people by keeping persons incarcerated, tying up the judicial system and police force. Keeping its illegality simply makes no sense. And before you get angry and call me a criminal... just know that I don't smoke. I just realize that not all laws make sense and this is one of them and not all laws should be upheld. There is a woman who was raped in the middle East and was sentenced to 200 lashes across her back and jail time because it is the law... So do not just be the sheep, stop and ask why and educate yourself before you condemn and curse your fellow man.

Demons! She should get the maximum sentence based on that stupid response alone. I don't know why people can't just own up to the things that they do. The judge should feel insulted that she would even propose such a stupid lie to tell him/her.

So...if I got this straight. Man marries woman, man separates from woman, man marries second woman over 30 years later. Original woman hears man was remarried, decides to get her "husband" locked up and now the man claims that he is mentally unstable. This matter could have been handled out of court instead of wasting the tax payers money and the courts time. The man should be fined and a mandatory divorce to the wife of his choosing should be made.

The Big Red Machine running the tracks yet again....
