A young mother is calling for justice as she alleged doctors at the Georgetown Public Hospital are responsible for the death of her almost 1 month old baby. She said while the child was rushed to the hospital in a critical condition, she was made to wait until the doctors ( in particular a Dr Kissoon) finished texting before they attend to the infant. Listen to her story here...

Dr. Kissoon should be sanctioned by the Minister of Health.
Severe actions, perhaps leading up to being unable to function in the field of medicine, should be applied to all individuals.
SHIT HOLE Guyana, that will be business as usual. Sad, real SAD what my Guyana turn into in 3 years!

When my brother visited the hospital under the PPP (2009) he saw a little baby died due to the barefoot Guyanese doctor prescribing exactly the opposite to what the baby needed. The attitudes of those local doctors is not an overnight thing.
Dont cuss the Blackman for everything wrong in Guyana.
Bhai, where did I mention " B1234617"? Your word not mine

You blame everything on the present government. I heard these horror stories since early 70s if not earlier. Neither PPP nor PNC has done enough for these institutions.
I agree Cain BUT the PNC promised to FIX the ills. It is now 3 friggin years, I know their heads HAAAAAAAAD but come on!!!!
What happened here is unacceptable.
I remember the outrage and blame on the PPP when events like these happened. The PNC is getting a free pass here. The Minister needs to sanction Dr. Kissoon and chop his Ball* if he is found guilty.
I donât want to get personal but this comes close to my heart. I will relate my personal experience and why I get peaved reading this shyte.
At age 11 I developed an illness that almost killed me. I was rushed to PHG and lying in admissions waiting for the doctor to come and officially diagnose and decide.
While waiting the nurses already knew and felt I was not recoverable. In the meantime my mom was bawling ð like crazy asking them not to give up. The nurses kept debating and I am laying watching and listening to my fate being debated. My dad was out of his mind.
One group of nurses felt I should be medicated and placed in a room to die. Others felt there was a chance. Then the doctor arrived, a Korean doctor (Dr Kim) who officially diagnosed and admitted. He never questioned whether I should or shouldnât.
It was a long recovery, one month in PHG and another at home before returning to school.
This experience drives my attitude when I read such negligence. Local Guyanese attitudes towards each other have not changed that much. This is why Guyana needs diaspora involvement.

This MORON Nehru expect 50+ years of dysfunction, racial politics and rampant incompetence and corruption by BOTH parties to be fixed in 3 years and Guyana become a paradise. Clueless, fking idiot!
You are a CERTIFIED MORON and AHOLE. Your head stuck up your Kakahole so I can forgive an IDIOT like you. It is not your fault you were born with shit in your head!!!

I have found Guyanese people of today to be very cold and callous toward their own. I grew up hearing about Guyanese "hospitality". Yet to see it. Uncouth, amoral, corrupt people who do everything for their own expediency. Very different from the generation of my parents and earlier.
Exposure to many races and cultures in America, it is my opinion that we Guyanese are sorely lacking. We are our own worst enemy, and this selfish, predatory nature of ours will eventually lead to a takeover by others. Soon Guyana will be no more as the Chinese, Venoes, Brazilians take over and the nationalities mix. Perhaps they will do better.

Nehru, shut up.
He's doing a monumental disservice to Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. He's also shaming his people and the PPP. He needs to change his fighting strategy if he wants his party to win.
Nehru, constructive criticism. Don't bite my head off now.

My experience was the total opposite. Fell on a zinc fence in 1985 and sliced my hand. Two tendons severed. Rushed to georgetown hospital. Five cuban doctors and a young Dr. Guy low operated on me. Everything well well. I supposed I was one of the lucky ones. However, according to what I've read, this Dr. Kisson had to finish his texting before attending to this child is totally unacceptable. He should be fired.
Sheik, Dr Lee ever cut yuh Godey?

One monumental difference, five Cuban doctors. After the Korean doctor decided, it was all hands on deck.
As I said, my brother witnessed the death of a baby in 2009. He said pure negligence and gross incompetence. No foreign doctors were involved.
This Doc. should be fired. Is he related to AH&L Kissoon? I know one of the sons who is a Dentist and was trained in the US.

Nah...probably Freedy Kisson...
Everybody hollering the Doctor should be fired. Many of you forget that poor medical condition and doctors/nurses negligence existed under the PPP and nobody was cussing up like Baseman. All you frighten to speak the truth? The PPP/PNC are in competition to win the trophy to the hall of shame.
Regardless of the working conditions a doctor has a responsibility to be dedicated and serve the needs of the medical profession.
Hippocrates Oath for doctors ...
Source -- https://www.medicinenet.com/sc...asp?articlekey=20909
Hippocratic Oath: One of the oldest binding documents in history, the Oath written by Hippocrates is still held sacred by physicians: to treat the ill to the best of one's ability, to preserve a patient's privacy, to teach the secrets of medicine to the next generation, and so on.
There are many versions of the Hippocratic Oath. We here present two versions. First, the "classic" version (or more precisely, one translation of the original oath). And then, following it, is presented one of the fine "modern" versions of the Hippocratic Oath.
Classic Version of the Hippocratic Oath
I swear by Apollo Physician and Asclepius and Hygieia and Panaceia and all the gods and goddesses, making them my witnesses, that I will fulfil according to my ability and judgment this oath and this covenant:
To hold him who has taught me this art as equal to my parents and to live my life in partnership with him, and if he is in need of money to give him a share of mine, and to regard his offspring as equal to my brothers in male lineage and to teach them this art - if they desire to learn it - without fee and covenant; to give a share of precepts and oral instruction and all the other learning to my sons and to the sons of him who has instructed me and to pupils who have signed the covenant and have taken an oath according to the medical law, but no one else.
I will apply dietetic measures for the benefit of the sick according to my ability and judgment; I will keep them from harm and injustice.
I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody who asked for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this effect. Similarly I will not give to a woman an abortive remedy. In purity and holiness I will guard my life and my art.
I will not use the knife, not even on sufferers from stone, but will withdraw in favor of such men as are engaged in this work.
Whatever houses I may visit, I will come for the benefit of the sick, remaining free of all intentional injustice, of all mischief and in particular of sexual relations with both female and male persons, be they free or slaves.
What I may see or hear in the course of the treatment or even outside of the treatment in regard to the life of men, which on no account one must spread abroad, I will keep to myself, holding such things shameful to be spoken about.
If I fulfil this oath and do not violate it, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and art, being honored with fame among all men for all time to come; if I transgress it and swear falsely, may the opposite of all this be my lot.
A Modern Version of the Hippocratic Oath
I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant:
I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow.
I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures which are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.
I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug.
I will not be ashamed to say "I know not," nor will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of another are needed for a patient's recovery.
I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty. Above all, I must not play at God.
I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person's family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick.
I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.
I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm.
If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected while I live and remembered with affection thereafter. May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who seek my help.
The classical version of the Hippocratic Oath is from the translation from the Greek by Ludwig Edelstein. From The Hippocratic Oath: Text, Translation, and Interpretation, by Ludwig Edelstein. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins Press, 1943.
The modern version of the Hippocratic Oath was written in 1964 by Louis Lasagna, Dean of the School of Medicine at Tufts University.

...has nothing to do with negligence of the medical system. Kissoon is a doctor and a child is gravely ill and dying while he texted instead of attending to the child. People (and I use the term loosely here) like him got into medicine for the money and prestige alone.
Fire him and make sure he never works as a doctor in Guyana again. A message needs to be sent.
