Dr.king has opted to retire while he still can & enjoy his youthful years. By saying “withdrawn his service” another impression is deliberately being given. Didn’t dr. rhonda sealey retire early too?
c’mon, why try to paint a negative picture when dr.king has done so much and continued to spearhead mental health care in antigua without resources and without an increase in his salary because unlike the medical director at slbmc, he was not one to pander to the monster of health!!
