Re: Quick
all i know is it is alot of money. last year my aunt was treated for throat cancer and each visit to a private hospital, it was over 20 thousand Ja$ (roughly $300US) for a visit. This did not include prescription/drugs, surgery, treatment and hospital stay.

I can ask my cousin who's getting her masters while also a nurse at UWI - I know she'd want more specifics tho ... age of the person, what's the illness and extent of it, etc.
We skype every night - let me know.Comment

Re: Quick
So my mom fell and about 3 to 4 weeks ago. She went to her doctor because her foot became swollen and hurt like hell. She was told that it's just a sprain, she should stay off it, and was given a prescription.
That was the last I heard of it. Til my sister just called to let me know that Mom is at Public Hospital with her foot broken in three places!!!!
Say wha...????? I can't even get the story straight.
The short of it is that her foot was sprained, when she'd fallen at home, she'd broke her ankle but her doctor...
soon come back...Comment

Re: Quick
Finally get through to her. She sound scared but is in relatively good humour. All a mek joke. Lawd...
So tomorrow is public holiday in Ja? Dad can't fill the pres til Thursday. Then Fri they may be able to operate. There're apparently concerns that her body may react negatively to the metal because of her diabetes?
Lawks...
