  1. Same thing when I suffered electrical burns, the doctors were eager to sacrifice me for their internships and academic comparison with other countries, hubris have the doctors and government unwillingness to spend money on less known person. Meaning who you are related to. In my case I had insurance with sagicor who claimed they would fly you out air ambulance, only to learn that they know the law of the land better than you but took your money, because workman compensation govern all insurance which is under the government state insurance, so it’s like they cut into the business and collect big from insurance underwriter who pay out from some big reinsurance company across the globe, but now back to the victim, when he would have eventually get to see medical doctor’s abroad, it will be too late as nerve and tissue damage multiply that could have been saved, needing hyperbaric chamber and grafting of skin, and state insurance will value his humanity so low that he will get pittance. In my case Mr Hadeed and observer journalist came to the hospital and said he would pay to send me Miami for treatment after sagicor insurance and the APUA management fail to give just treatment as they did for Jessie the asian engineer who got burn at crabbs tango power plant. As it boil down is if the management where you are employed like you enough to value your life, they are wicked men and women all about their benefit. So his colleagues at public works got to protest or else it would be them next.

In my case Mr Hadeed and observer journalist came to the hospital and said he would pay to send me Miami for treatment after sagicor insurance and the APUA management fail to give just treatment as they did for Jessie the asian engineer who got burn at crabbs tango power plant. Only then I was sent to Barbados in whatever economizing they can do at you suffering, As it boil down is if the management where you are employed like you enough to value your life, they are wicked men and women all about their benefit.
