Dear Editor
Recently, a local queen show was staged and it was a bit unfortunate that Ms. Asheila Pluck did not placed in the top three. Ofcourse the judges decision is final.
It is not my intention to declare that the competition was unfairly judge, however, I will admit that I was sincerely touched by her performing talent & the message that was advocated about sickle cell patients & moreso her mother with the dreadful disease.
Now the thought popped up, was her mother the primary reason or motivating factor as to why she entered the competition? If not, I am sure she had apart to play. Ms Pluck’s advocacy during the show of the sickle disease & her mother’s personal experience was timely, explicit, touching, and to the point.
Sickle cell patients do have a very painful experience. Their lives can be like a roller coaster with the excruciating pain they endure. Today they are up and then tomorrow they are down.
We the public including the medicare practitioners need to be alot more empathetic for them. The same also applies to patients who are suffering from other dreadful chronic painful conditions. Immediate care is their only saviour… No one knows when their time will come to experience these type disease with such excruciating pains. Today for me, tomorrow may be for you.
Of course, it is extremely good news to hear that a sickle clinic will be open to accommodate these sickle cell patients. Hence primary & immediate attention can be given to them.
Other patients with frequent ongoing chronic painful conditions need to be taken into consideration also. They should be assigned an ID card so that they can get the immediate attention they need, when they arrive at the ER dept.
Thumbs up to Ms Pluck! Unfortunately, you were not a winner on the stage that night of the queen show but you certainly did justice to your percormance and for what you were advocating for and as a result, you won the hearts of many of us that night of the show.
Alex.

I was not at the competition, but I saw it on the social media platform and yes, I was quite impressed with her message and performance …..
Her message was very deep and should not be overlooked.
Blah blah blah sore loser like Richard Lewis
She was awesome and consistently through out. The only development area I see that she could
Improve a bit in is her speech. Other than that, she was great 👍🏾 so proud of her
Why would you make that comment and try to tear down one of our Antiguan buries. Are you a dunce head or What?
Her speech was indeed touching. However there are no sympathy votes on offer in the criteria. She did well, yes,, they ALL did but there can be only only one winner and it was not Ms. Pluck!
Let us all as a nation begin/continue to fully support all programs and initiatives aimed at overcoming this horrible illness.
I was on the grounds and I can surly say I, along with the people around me were touched and impressed with her performance.
The author is so right. ” We the public & medical practitioners need to be more empathetic. No one knows when their time will come. Today is for me and tomorrow may be for you. ”
Several months ago, the airwaves were blasting on a certain radio station on a well-known radio personality’s program, about the treatment that his loved one received at the hospital. Yet during his normal daily program, he never found it fitting to extend support on his program on behalf of others who complained about their medical state of affairs….. How Ironic.
It is only when it reached home, then the decibels of his voice extended …..
