Healthcare workers at the island’s smaller, less equipped hospitals seem to be hit hardest by a reduction of ‘sessions’ and overtime due to the restructuring of patient care caused by COVID-19.
Healthcare workers at the Type B Savanna-la-Mar Public General Hospital in Westmoreland were among the latest to feel the financial distress, after a letter from the hospital’s administration last Thursday advised that overtime work would be cut.
In the letter to divisional heads, a copy of which was obtained by The Sunday Gleaner, it was advised that the hospital had undergone a budget cut and thus a reduction in sessions was necessary.
Yesterday, Carmen Johnson, president of the Nurses Association of Jamaica, and Dr Elon Thompson, president of the Jamaica Medical Doctors Association, said they were both aware of disquiet over the overtime cuts at some hospitals.
Johnson explained, however, that sessions and overtime are based on needs, and some smaller hospitals, like Savanna-la-Mar General and Percy Junor Hospital in Mandeville, may have less need for nurses on overtime than a larger one such as the Kingston Public Hospital (KPH).
Texans may soon start breathing some cautious sighs of relief as the first shipment of the coronavirus vaccine, which includes 224,250 doses to 109 Texas hospitals in 34 counties, are set to arrive on Dec. 14, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services.
[Premium Times] Buhari knows what he is doing. He craves a crisis.
If you can relate to a few or all of the above scenarios, then you may be carrying stress or tension in your shoulders.
To effectively reduce your shoulder tension, you could see a physiotherapist physically or virtually, a few sessions will help to build body awareness, helping you to better identify your tension points and releasing them.
How does a weak core affect your shoulders?
If your core muscles cannot effectively do this, your body will call on muscles close by to assist your core, like your shoulders.
If you do not have shoulder pain, remember, repetitive stress injuries can lead to more serious causes of shoulder pains, such as rotator cuff tears, shoulder impingements, tendonitis, or bursitis.

Kenya Moore and Kandi Burruss got together for Burruss’ “Speak On It” YouTube series since the last episode of the Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion to reflect about the drama-filled reunion and season 12.
“Right after we taped the reunion that day, the very next day, she had her attorney send me a letter and basically said that I was using her likeness without her permission and they demanded that I take the video down that I had posted of her saying on her YouTube clip.
I took the video down at first, I just took her part off the video where it says how to get your own spinoff, I used to have her at the beginning talking and hating on me why I got my own spinoff and all these different shows I’ve been getting…Her lawyer sent me a letter wanting me to take it down because they didn’t want y’all to see it but apparently Bravo wanted y’all to see it anyway and put it in the TV show.”
Moore then revealed that Leakes’ legal lashings didn’t stop there and that she also had plans of suing Bravo, the home of the Real Housewives franchise.
“Nobody is stopping you from getting other work, you’re not talented,” Moore said.

When 49-year-old Marjorie Pearson went into surgery three weeks ago at the Kingston Public Hospital (KPH), it was not lost on her and the medical team that the high-risk brain procedure could go horribly wrong.
Dr Dwaine Cooke, consultant neurosurgeon at KPH, and a team of anaesthesiologists, residents and specialist nurses were about to pull off a first-of-its-kind brain surgery in the island’s public health sector.
As they painstakingly conducted the craniotomy – removing part of Pearson’s skull to operate on her brain – the patient talked to and responded well to the team of medics as they removed a tumour during the hours-long procedure, even bursting into song at one point.
“With the surgery considered groundbreaking, a team of four anaesthesiologists, who worked closely with the neurosurgery team, which included myself and my junior staff (residents), four other doctors, and specialist nurses working hand in hand, carried out the surgery,” Cooke told The Sunday Gleaner.
When Cooke was called, after consultations, emergency surgery was recommended and the medics would then start making their assessments to perform the operation, the first in the public sector in the island.

By Luke Tamborinyoka The census scheduled for later this year will yet again confirm that the youth as a demographic group constitute the majority of the country’s population. As we stand on the cusp of the decisive phase of our democratic struggle, this generation whose future has been squandered by the clueless and corrupt elite in government must stand up and play a more prominent role in positively shaping their lived circumstances and their future. Throughout history and across jurisdictions, it is the youth that have stood up to the mediocrity of their time and engendered truly new dispensations that infused a renewed sense of hope about the future. Across the world, young people have always been the torch-bearers in the unstinting quest for freedom, democracy, decency and dignity. It was the young people in Zimbabwe that took up arms and confronted the colonial Ian Smith regime. But times have changed. Today’s youth may have to robustly use other arsenal such as the soft power of their Twitter and blog universe to express their utmost revulsion against the deteriorating human rights and governance system in the country. In Tunisia in 2011, it was 26-year-old Mohamed Bouazizi who ignited the revolution that reaped a democratic dividend for an entire sub-region. On January 14 the same year, dictator Ben Ali had no choice but to flee to Saudi Arabia. It was equally these young people that led similarly popular but morally legitimate protests in Yemen, Jordan, Algeria and Oman in what became popularly known as the Arab Spring. On January 25 2011, droves of mainly young people numbering about 50 000 poured into Tahrii Square in downtown Cairo in a huge mass protest against Hosni Mubarak. It was similarly audacious young men and women who perished for a legitimate quest at Sharpeville in apartheid South Africa. It was the same revolutionary generation that tore down the Berlin Wall. It was young people that stoically stood before the armed taunt at Tiananmen Square in China in June 1989. The youth have always been a revolutionary generation; a generation that neither accepts nor tolerates killer regimes such as the illegitimate lot in Harare — a regime dripping in the blood of innocent citizens. An autocracy that has captured all institutions of the State as part of a wicked, sinister and morally reprehensible plot to decimate the legitimate opposition in the country. In Zimbabwe, the young generation of short skirts and sagging jeans must step up to the plate. The short skirts are reflective of the shortened life expectancy and the short-sightedness of their leaders, if not the abundant opportunities that have skirted the young generation. And it is not just their jeans that are sagging, but their hopes and aspirations as well! For the youth of this country, the horizon has been misted by a clueless government that couped its way into office amid a false clamour of creating jobs under the equally false mantra of “Zimbabwe is open for business”. Yet the country is shut for hope — with the only jobs created being tho

An incident that occurred during a discussion between two congressmen, Rep. Cedric Richmond and Rep. Matt Gaetz, got especially testy but Richmond handled it quite smoothly.
Gaetz, a white Republican representing Florida, took offense at Richmond’s concern for the life of his own son and pulling out of thin air that Richmond was suggesting that white people don’t raise or protect their non-Black children.
Gaetz began by saying, “Because you reflected on your black son and you said none of us can understand…” before Richmond cut him off by replying with, “”Matt, Matt!
Things got testier after Richmond reclaimed his time, but Gaetz was determined to escalate the debate.

The Supreme Court has awarded damages of more than $9 million to a woman for negligence in the removal of her womb at the Spanish Town Hospital almost nine years ago.
The defendants, buttressed by evidence by Dr Sherika Pearson, then junior resident in obstetrics and gynaecology; Dr Kingsley Ford, then senior registrar; and Dr Leslie Samuels, fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, argued that the procedure – “evacuation of retained products of conception” – was executed because Chambers’ life was in jeopardy because she was bleeding heavily.
But the claimant argued that although she signed three consent forms, Pearson did not sufficiently apprise her of the three options available – vaginal insertion of a tablet; dilation and curettage (D&C); and the vacuum/suction curettage procedure – and that the latter was the least risky.
Pearson acknowledged not informing Chambers of the vacuum curettage procedure because that service was not accessible at Spanish Town or any other public hospital.
“Patients are now taken to have rights, including the right to be an active participant in the choice of treatment to be administered, having been made fully aware of the known risks,” Justice Lawrence-Beswick said.
