Last night, my sis in Trinidad got a bad pain in her lower back and side. The family called an ambulance and it was there within 20 minutes. The paramedics sorted her out, gave her vomit bags etc… and then took her to A&E at San Fernando General Hospital (SFGH).
From 5 pm to 11 pm, she was not yet seen. But that is not the essence of my story.
My other sister who accompanied her was horrified to see ‘big juicy maggots’ crawling under the doctors’ table of all places. Apparently, there wasn’t anyone changing the garbage. As my sister put it:
“Home maggots are kinda malnourished; these were really big, fat and well-fed!”
I didn’t believe her so she sent me the following photo taken with her cell phone.
The black is the wooden trim at the base of the wall, and the maggots were all the way down the length of the room.
This is in the emergency room of the second largest general hospital, a place where mopping and sterilising are done routinely… or are they? This is a place where patients come with all kinds of open wounds, infections etc.
Come on Stephen Ramroop, what kind of place are you running there? Get your staff working. As head of A&E and Hospital Medical Director, this is your direct responsibility!!!
By the way, I also had it that the clerks were doing BP and other duties that are rightfully the job of nursing and medical personnel. You may want to look into that too.
Let’s see some action, just not this type.
Expect to see related pests and vermin at other Gov't Depts.

oh gosh Jumbie .... now I need ah vomit bag!!!
You and me both...
Nah.. ah doh t'ink yuh could hol' Dr Ramroop fuh crap like dat. Come nah man - he not in charge of janitorial services (or wha'ever dey call um dong dey) . No - ah not joking. Dr Ramroop is in charge of medical/clinical services. There is usually someone directly in charge of non-clinical services.
In fac' i's for Dr Ramroop to gih dee non-clinical services manager some stick, because the overall hygiene of a hospital can affect infection rates etc.
Maggots mean the place is rotting!! Quote meh on dat.

Wrong. The buck stops with him, even if he is not directly responsible for day to day inspections/management.
If he exerts his responsibilty by 'giving' the Domestic Supervisor some stick, then he is still doing his job, but no way can he claim this is not his responsibility.
The buck does not stop with him for such contemptible rubbish. And jes to clear t'ings in advance, me and Stephen Ramroop is not bosom buddies. And allyuh done know dat I does gih anybody presshaah when dey do and talk rubbish, or neglect dey duty .. fr'en' doh get in dee way.
So eef a drain outside a SFGH casualty block you go blame dee man fuh dat? If a toilet bowl block, overflowing and stinking in the SGH causalty you go say Dr Ramroop responsible fuh dat, because dee buck stop wid him?
Nah yuh outta yuh depth on this one, boss. The ultimate responsibility for all services rests with the Chief Exec (or equivalent in Donkey Rock language). Dr Ramroop is responsible for clinical services.... and daize it. Ah doh mind yuh givin' people anybody getting preshhaahhh but gih dem when dey neglect dey duty. Ah really cyah see how it reasonable to hold Dr Ramroop responsible, even indirectly for dat maggot shit.
OMG! This is just unacceptable.
Vision 2020 is a joke...
Vision2020 was always a joke for numerous other reasons. The presence of a few maggots - real maggots on a hospital floor does not, for me, bring home that point.
The presence of maggots at a shop floor level is symbolic of 'maggots' in management and political circles. Daize what it brings to me. But I didn't really need to see the real t'ing, to know dat.
