Say it isn't so! On the Cliff Hughes' Online radio program, he played a tape of a speech from a doctor, I believe it was Dr. Alfred Dawes, President of the Jamaica Medical Doctors Association. Dr. Dawes mentioned that there are no surgical smocks available, so doctors have to wear garbage bags instead. He further mentioned that on a recent occasion, the garbage bag he wore apparently tore while he was performing surgery and the patient's blood seeped onto his undergarments. How could doctors not have proper protective wear to perform surgery in a country where millions of dollars were recently dished out on infrastructure to impress the visiting President Obama? But, then again, Dr. Dawes confirmed that pilfering of medical supplies for use at a doctor's private practice office is quite common. There is never a dull moment in Jamaica!
