    Call back Dr King! This dude jus come from Dominica and want to come into an institution and change things without considering why things were done that way. He did away with social outreach programmes and took over matron office without any respect for his predecessors. He bring shame to DA pple. I say good riddance. Antigua has their own homegrown psychiatrists.

    Dr B you sis nothing we ng as far as I know. Just keep doing your job. Had you not been good at your job they would not have hired you in the first place.
    Some people don’t like change and they don’t like to be challenged. I know you not hungry for their money

    Where is the superintendent in all of this? Isn’t she a part of the management team? I am happy that we are now seeing what this doctor and the one before him are accustomed to do! Purge all of them!

    Why don’t we call up on the hospital as well? So much going on at the hospital why not get rid of Dr. Belle? Or doctors who’ve dealt with persons who end up and die? Hmmmm picking on other people?

      This is what U called it. Drama. The man is doing his damn job n leave politicians where they belong. They always want to tell someone how to do their job and they are not specialists in no damn field. What about Lateefa? Her life did not matter? I did not see any urgency when she lost her life. But an American complains and all hell bruk loose fu give satisfaction. What Atiguas life do not matter in any way at all? #Chaman!!!

    Banning someone from government health facilities is drastic.

    Wait a minute!!! So heads roll only when Americans are allegedly adversely affected? So only Americans lives and persons matter? So why aren’t heads rolling when young Antiguan mothers die in childbirth in this day and age? When a mother whose child has a hemorrhage due to a head injury is turned away after waiting for hours in the emergencyroom? When healthcare ” professionals ” display the nastiest attitudes towards patients? No head a roll because Antiguan lives don’t matter! It’s a sad state of affairs.

    This man was anxious to administer drug to a young man he only heard a story about, he is delighted in getting people moving like zombies once he medicates you. It’s as though he makes more monies if he can inject you with those medications.
