The POTUS, Donald Trump hit the hammer right on the nail when he said we live in a sh!thole country— that is the bitter pill a lot of people are unwilling to swallow unlike some of us who have long gulped it down our throat and lick our lips afterwards.
At least we have embraced the sh!t hole things—the country’s health care has been sh!tyy for as long as our memories will serve us and the recent death of the former veep has brought the same light we have been shedding on it once again. As if anything better can be done about it after all our raves and rants.
We have heard and read far many stories about many avoidable deaths due to the lack of a facility or the negligence of a health personnel and such is one that happened to young Kunta Kinte of the Bradez fame.
According to Kinte who has been away for years, he had an experience at the initial stages of his stroke which could have saved him a whole deal of trouble and pain.
“Whilst I was being taken inside the hospital, the nurse agitated that she will not understand why I jumped the queue to see the doctor and made me wait till they had finished with those I met there.
“When I entered to see the doctor, he just looked at my eyes and diagnosed me of malaria and gave me some injection. See that now,” he said.
“After I went back to the hostel, that was all. But for me, I knew it wasn’t malaria. If the doctor had given me Aspirin, I would not have suffered from a stroke he told mynewsgh.
