So my child used to do tracks. I collected him after a track meet one day and he started screaming in pain. Went Andrews and they rushed him through, doctor says he may need emergency surgery but it a go bruk you pocket, here's a letter, run go UWI. Sped like a mad woman
go uppa UWI, tun the cyar crossway inna de ambulance bay, literally lifted this muscular teenager into A&E, a nurse attended us and say doctor soon come. All I'm seeing is my pickney a bawl and hearing the words emergency surgery. 10 mins later no doctor no come,
But me a observe at least 3 doctor a socialise at the station. I go and inquire politely though I am burning up inside. I got a flippant remark re if me caan wait. Que? I am a nice, calm, peaceful girl - but not when my child is in play. I was literally in the
process of climbing over the station to grab that doctor when my aunty walked in. I ain't saying I was right. I ain't saying Ms Douglas was right. All this to say, I sure as hell understand.

That being said. The healthcare system is inadequate and it needs urgent attention.
