New month..
Can you believe March is here already? It seems like just yesterday that we were enjoying Christmas to me. Another thing I find, is that when I was a yute, time seemed to move more slowly. Maybe that is a direct result of having been cushioned by parents….as a child we don’t have to go out to work, when you turn big man now is a different business dat. You have financial responsibilities and ting. Still, though childhood days were nice, when you are a grown up, one definitely has more clout…though I sometimes say I wish I was fifteen again….knowing what I know now, I think I will stick with manhood.
BTW, this is just another ramble. Last night, when I left private practice, I remembered to go easy on the press as I did not wish to get stopped for speeding again. So, there I am going real slow, I pass the area where the Police had stopped me two weeks before….no sign of them. A C&W van passes me in the next lane at bruck neck speed and sure enough, as him buss the corner so, out jumps the Babylon beckoning him to stop. I suspect he was doing 90-100 km/hr. I continue on my slow press and when I see the driver being told to come out of the vehicle, I think to myself, “Hush rude yute, I know how you feel. Maybe you can tell dem seh you a Doctor on call and dem might let you off!” 
Speaking about Doctors….my boss calls me this morning from her car…dropping her children to school…..it is 7 AM…bwoy, when you don’t have nuh pickney you don’t have to wake up at the crack of dawn….I had only just got out of bed and was stumbling to the kitchen in boxers to boil water for the Earl Grey….Anyhow, she asks me if I heard the news? News? No. 
She is hearing on the radio that a ‘Senior Doctor’ at a Kingston based hospital has been suspended for sexual assault of TWO female patients! 
She asks me if I have any idea who….Nope! I know seh a nuh me! (Poor me and senior anyhow!) If indeed he is guilty, this sheds a bad light on the profession. I guess in time I will hear more about it.
Anyway, I probably have bored you to death already, so since I can’t afford to bury you, let me hope you have a happy and productive day filled with laughter, excitement and all that is good, and leave it at that for now. Tek it easy. 
March 1st, 2005 at 8:22 am Good morning Dr. D. I left a comment on your Monday blogg. I thought I had left one yesterday. Sexual harrassment from a senior dr. Really not good for your profession. Well, when you have children you life changes 360 degrees. It’s not about you anymore-but it’s all good. They keep you young and add such a richness to your life. Have a great day.
March 1st, 2005 at 8:30 am Hey Sunshine….I not bashing the having of children at all, just saying how different your life becomes when you do have them. You have a nice day.
March 1st, 2005 at 12:24 pm Yeah life changes after children in more ways than one. You get more stuff to do. They keep you on your toes. Bad Doctor!!!
March 1st, 2005 at 7:40 pm Cho! Is just that you people up at the UHWI are not keeping up with modern medical practices… Is just a new kind of injection that the Doctor give the woman dem, thats all… Bwoy, everybody fraid on a little stick doah eeeh?
March 1st, 2005 at 9:21 pm Yes indeed Mad Bull. I know that you would have had a rather short lived medical career had you become a doctor…the Medical Council would be only too happy to stike you off the register faster than you coulda seh ra$$!
March 2nd, 2005 at 5:07 am Doc, When I first heard the alleged sexual assault report against the doctor, I was not only surprised, but found the story quite strange. First: how could the doctor have raped all of three women in his office at different times over the course of a week and none of the women made an alarm in order to escape his advances; secondly, why did they wait an entire week to make a report. And, thirdly: if it’s only an allegation at this stage, why was it leaked to the press. At least someone could have considered the potential damage to the doctor’s reputation if the whole thing was contrived. The whole affair stinks and I am sure it has everyone in the local profession nervous and embarrassed at the same time. However, whomever the alleged doctor is, I hope his colleages will allow the investigations to be done before condemning the man all out. I am in no way excusing such unprofessional behaviour, but have you ever had a truly vindictive person despise you for something and is determined to ruin you no matter what the cost? Let’s watch for the outcome. In the meanwhile; I pity the poor doctor who is being fingered in this;who is to tell that he may have a medical problem himself if the allegation is true.
March 2nd, 2005 at 7:20 am I wonder if he’s guilty of the charges? if so as you say it just put a bad spin on ya profession. regarding the time thing boy i swear that the earth is moving faster and/but our concepts for the basis of time have remained the same. days fly by like nothing, weeks, months, years. why you blink one day now and its easter, next thing ya know its october.
March 2nd, 2005 at 7:39 am Well Kruger, I don’t think anyone can say whether he is guilty or not unless they were there. A case of his word against hers/theirs. The Ministry thought that the severity of the allegations warranted that he be suspended from duty pending the results of the investigation. If indeed the patient(s) involved are malicious and really trying to destroy his career, she/they may well be successful and should have charges brought against them. I saw in the Observer this morning a short article which reports that the woman was an alleged rape victim who attended hospital for help after being raped, and she alleges that when the doctor who was seeing her had her alone, he raped her!? BTW Kruger, you should know that the press does not need to have the full details in order to print a story….scandal sells newspapers! So far, the name of the medic has not been released.
March 2nd, 2005 at 6:00 pm As much as I am female, and as much as I am aware that there are predators out there… I am skeptical EVERYtime I hear these stories - I am STILL in total and absolute horror at that woman and Mike Tyson - these women have NO clue what sexual assault is… and being in a man’s bedroom alone with him at 4am canNOT constitute sexual assault…. nah tell no lie, if she seh no, she seh no - but geez man - whey she ah do deh inna him house inna de wee hours fa ef ah nuh said ting? Mmmm? But den dat is jus’ me….
March 2nd, 2005 at 11:17 pm Next year will be 10 yrs that I have been in the medical profession. I can tell you all that some patients (I would say around 3-4 over the years) have tried to get familiar. 1 I would say tried to trap me into some shit.. Doctors must remember to : 1. Have a nurse present during the examinations. 2. Be careful of women that smile up with you. 3. Trust your instinct. 4. Trust no patient.. All that said.. If the youth quilty .. bun him.
