Promote The Good People And Send The Evil People Packing

I am blessed by the love shown to me by various people. Over the weekend, several things went wrong. The stove died, and so did the washing machine. This is just after a good samaritan expressed concern about how I was getting things done. The gentleman who called about the stove to fix it said he would come by soon.

I said to him, "You have not greeted me, and you have not told me your name." He apologized profusely. 

Oh yes, he came on time and explained to me what was wrong with the washing machine. His name is Darien Priestman. You can see that he was well brought up, went to JC, and is busy trying to carve out his piece of cake.

Thanks to those others for the kind gestures. There is a schoolmate of mine who sent a package of sugar-free items for me. Can you imagine that if you have diabetes, there are enough things to help kill you? I enjoyed my sugar-free biscuits and jam. We need to make and import these sugar items into Jamaida. It seems like everything that we purchase in Jamaica is packed with sugar. Probably that is why it seems that diabetes is on the increase.

Dr. John Scott

This morning I had to do another ECG before I undergo the operation since the last one was done a long time ago. I got a referral to see Dr. Paul Scott at 1c Braemar Avenue in New Kingston. Dr. Paul Scott is an accomplished expert in pulmonary medicine, critical care, internal medicine, haematology, and oncology with over 30 years of experience.

On arrival, I was told that I did not have an appointment. The receptionist called his other office. I explained to the receptionist that I had sent a fax copy of the referral, which I got from the office. While I was talking to the receptionist, another staff member came up and butted into the conversation. I explained to the staff member that she should have said "Excuse me" and "Good morning" before interrupting like that. She was ready to take me on, and she gave me a look that could destroy the largest US warship. Dr. Scott, you deserve to have distinguished staff working with you.

Professionals like Dr. Scott should ensure that their staff are properly trained because they are an extension of the medical team. "Good morning." "Thank you," "Excuse me," "I am sorry" and "It was good to have you visit us" are some of the terms that should become a part of your medical support staff vocabulary.

Dr. Scott, you need to take action so that this incident never occurs again at your office. Mr. Dante and another receptionist were very helpful.

70,000 Murdered Since 1962 - Who are we Killing?

Contributed

Michael Spence

The untimely death of Buju in St James and the untimely troubles facing the policeman are reminders that stress from life itself can cause untimely deaths/occurences. 

I offer my sympathies to both families and to the entire Jamaica family.

Since the so-called independence in 1962, we have killed at least 70,000 of our own. Over 50,000 have been ordinary citizens. Another 20,000 have been killed by police and the army.

Jamaica is 98% Black, yet we are engaged in Black-on-Black killings. 

Approximately 1 million Jamaicans live in squatters' poverty and squatting conditions. 

Afro-Jamaicans comprise 98% of the population but own only 5% of the economy. The remaining 2%, mainly non-Black, control the other 95%.

One must ask if we were better off before 1838. The system is now blurred. 

The government and those in Parliament have black skins but appear to operate with white minds. This crisis is global. In America: ICE and deportation. In Argentina: efforts to white-out (Racial Erasure). 

In South Africa: expulsion. Black people are being pushed into a corner, off the planet.

Fire On Mandela Highway?

Bark Di Trute just got a message that there is a fire on Mandela Highway and a vehicle is now on fire. Let's hope we get a report from the Fire Brigade Service or the police soon. If you are in the area, send me an update by WhatsApp at 876 816-5216.

A Leading Politician Has Passed

 

Mr. Dean Peart

Mr Dean Peart, MP and minister in the PNP government, has passed on. The following was posted on the PNP Facebook page as a tribute to Mr Peart.

The People’s National Party mourns the passing of Dean Alexander Peart, former Member of Parliament for North West Manchester, Councillor and Mayor of Mandeville, as well as former Cabinet Minister.

A proud son of Manchester and of the PNP, he carried forward the legacy of his father, the Hon. Ernest Peart, and served alongside his brother, former Speaker Michael Peart, in one of Jamaica’s great political families.

Dean Peart won the North West Manchester seat five consecutive times, serving his constituents for 22 years with unmatched dedication. He built 13 community centres and numerous basic schools across the constituency, championed education for young people.

In Government, he served as Minister of State or Minister with responsibility for several portfolios, including Labour, Environment and Lands, and Local Government.

Known for integrity, hard work and straight talk, Deanie was loved by the people he served and respected across the political divide.

The Party extends deepest condolences to his wife Vynette, his children, the entire Peart family, and the people of North West Manchester. May his soul rest in eternal peace. 

You can add your comment as a tribute to an outstanding Jamaican politician.

Bark Di Trute Supporters Helping To Change Things

 

Bark Di Trute reporter Roy Rayon reports sewer water running on the road in St. Thomas.

Roy Rayon made it public a few days ago on Bark Di Trute that there was this uncovered manhole. More than likely, someone removed the original cover. This could have caused a major motor vehicle accident, or someone could have fallen in there and suffered serious injuries.

Thanks to those who were responsible for getting it fixed. Anyone who removes a manhole cover, if caught, should spend a year cleaning the gully.

This is a fun video, but there is a lot to learn from it. We should incorporate lessons like this in schools.

It's A Big Word, Neuropsychology - Learn About It

I am sure that you have heard of ITTAR-C, and their tagline is, "Your mental health is our priority." Many of us will jump to the conclusion by saying only mentally ill people dem deal wid. The Ministry of Health and Wellness site has this to say about mental illness:

Depression is one of the common mental health diseases that affects our population. The prevalence of depression in Jamaica in 2016 was 14.3%, or 1 in every 7 persons.

Note that matters affecting the brain and mind cover a wide area. You might not have heard of the term "neuropsychology" or the need for a neuropsychological evaluation. Neuropsychological screenings are an experience that starts with a cognitive screen to help physicians detect signs of impairment outside the norm for a patient’s demographic and are clinically indicated in the following situations: 

1. When there are mild or questionable deficits on standard mental status testing or clinical interview, and a neuropsychological assessment is needed to establish the presence of abnormalities or distinguish them from changes that may occur with normal aging or the expected progression of other disease processes. 
2. When neuropsychological data can be combined with clinical, laboratory, and neuroimaging data to assist in establishing a clinical diagnosis in neurological or systemic conditions known to affect CNS functioning. 
3. When there is a need to quantify cognitive or behavioural deficits related to CNS impairment, especially when the information will be useful in determining a prognosis or informing treatment planning by determining the rate of disease progression.
4. When there is a need for a pre-surgical or treatment-related cognitive evaluation to determine whether one might safely proceed with a medical or surgical procedure that may affect brain function (For example, deep brain stimulation, resection of brain tumours or arteriovenous malformations, epilepsy surgery, or stem cell transplant) or significantly alter a patient’s functional status.
5. When there is a need to assess the potential impact of adverse effects of therapeutic substances that may cause cognitive impairment. For example, radiation, chemotherapy, and antiepileptic medications, especially when this information is utilized to determine treatment planning.
6. When there is a need to monitor progression, recovery, and response to changing treatments in patients with central nervous system (CNS) disorders, in order to establish the most effective plan of care.
7. When there is a need for objective measurement of the patient’s subjective complaints about memory, attention, or other cognitive dysfunction, which serves to determine treatment by differentiating psychogenic from neurogenic syndromes (for example, dementia vs. depression). 
8. When there is a need to establish a treatment plan by determining functional abilities/impairments in individuals with known or suspected CNS disorders.
9. When there is a need to determine whether a patient can comprehend and participate effectively in complex treatment regimens (For example, surgeries to modify facial appearance, hearing, or tongue debulking in craniofacial or Down syndrome patients; transplant or bariatric surgeries in patients with diminished capacity), and to determine functional capacity for healthcare decision-making, work, independent living,  and managing financial affairs.
10. When there is a need to design, administer, and/or monitor outcomes of cognitive rehabilitation procedures, such as compensatory memory training for brain-injured patients.
11. When there is a need to establish treatment planning through identification and assessment of the neurocognitive sequelae of systemic disease such as hepatic encephalopathy or anoxic/hypoxic injury associated with cardiac procedures.
12. For assessment of neurocognitive functions for the formulation of rehabilitation and/or management strategies among individuals with neuropsychiatric disorders. 
13. When there is a need to diagnose cognitive or functional deficits in children and adolescents based on an inability to develop expected knowledge, skills or abilities as required to adapt to new or changing cognitive, social, emotional, or physical demands. 

The next time you go with someone to the doctor with some of the challenges mentioned in this article, mention neuropsychological evaluation. This could make the difference in the patient's life.
