Is Dr. Richard Ishmael Being Silenced?

Acquired from a source

 

Dr Richard Ishmael (Nation)

As promised, here are the documents – this is the first tranche as the files are large, it took a while to get them scanned and if you don’t act soon? Someone else will as not only Caribbean but every news entity across the globe has been told. This is the background below:

A few weeks ago a story broke but the traditional media hardly seemed interested. Don’t they want the truth? Don’t they care when the innocent is being abused and un-faired? While the traditional media seem totally disinterested, Barbados Underground was running a blog asking: Is the Barbadian Population being properly served by its news media.” But if the truth of the recent issue between Sparman, the Health Minister and Dr. Ishmael are know, the answer to this question would have been obvious.

The question is, does the traditional media want the truth? Secondly, exactly how committed to the proposed Freedom of Information legislation are the members of the ruling DLP government, especially since not long ago, we were being told that government ministers are: “squeaky clean,” now this!

Why would the Director of Medical Services (DMS) of the Barbados QEH be acting on behalf of the Health Minister of that country and seeking to get a heart patient transferred from the QEH, to a private clinic ran by a man, who is not a surgeon?

Is the Barbados Health Minister a director of the said Sparman’s clinic? And why the scare tactics to sue when Dr. Ishmael seems to be asking reasonable questions in the interest of patient care.

Is there a mold in the A&E? How did Sparman know that a heart patient was at the QEH? Why did the DMS call on behalf of the Health Minister to convince Mr. Cotterell’s wife to have her critically ill husband transferred to Sparman’s clinic, knowing full well that Mr. Cott**** (a UK visitor to Barbados) was seriously ill and that he was on non-invasive ventilation and was in no condition to be transferred out of the QEH to Sparman‘s Clinic in Belleville?

And to think that the Barbadians health officials would suspend Dr. Ishmael and then try to silence him to hide this ugliness by threatening to sue him. What an enormous abuse of power? Surely this warrants an investigation and the dismissal of the Minister. Having reviewed all to documents and facts associated with this fiasco, you will agree that it is not Dr. Ishmael, against whom criminal proceedings ought to be immediately initiated.

Corruption comes in various forms. Nude news of television and now being fingered in a serious medical health scandal. And the ruling Democratic Labour Party Government of Barbados says that its ministers are “squeaky clean!”

  1. We have documents involved in this matter. In the interest of fair play we are hopeful this matter can be resolved by 6PM today. If it isn’t we will post the documents. One media house is in possession of the same documents.

  2. Let the truth prevail and justice be served. I wish people would not tear down any individual/s before finding out the truth. Thanks BU for working to bring the info we need in order to determine the truth.

  3. Supposed I told you that Sparman gives doctors here in Barbados a commission – i.e. a kick back – for referring patients to him. These include at least 2 docs in the A&E department of the QEH. THIS IS A FACT AND IT IS MOST UNETHICAL. This practice has been going on for years and only came to a head recently as a result of this case in question. Sparman’s pay offs involves many a doc in private health care. Sparman pays the doc 10-20$ of his fee. Some doctors can make 3-8 thousand in comission 9n any given month.

  4. David
    If what you print is true, then the Min has to answer to this matter. While I can see where Ishmael is very concerned, his only mistake is to use the QEH letterhead to issue his correspondence. This case is getting very intertesting, no wonder Ishamel was suspended on FULL pay.

  5. Great job if you can really post documents for all to see and from which we can determine the facts. I’mnot sure why you want to wait till 6 pm “in the interest of fair play”, because from the above posted it would seem that minister Inniss is accused of corruption. That is not fair to him either, is it?

  6. Let’s suppose that there is some “resolution” before 6 PM and so BU “locks” away the documents. Wouldn’t BU have behaved like the mainstream news media that BU often complains about?

    Are we only to know of the misdeeds of one set of ‘superiors” when it is in the interest of another set of “superiors”? The only defensible reason (if one claims some moral high ground) that some document or other information not be disclosed is if there is doubt about the veracity of the information and reasonable suspicion that it is malicious and deliberately misleading. Information (that may serve the public interest) should not be withheld as inducement to “thieves to adhere to a code of mutual support and silence”.

  7. @Ping Pong & Independent

    The documents are voluminous, we would want to thoroughly reread. No clandestine reason as being hinted. We stand by our past record.

  8. @ David
    I hope the powers that be don’t pull a Julian Assange-esque move on you……lol

    Do what you have to do!

    I hope that you publish some documents from Barbados Light and Power as well regarding EMERA and don’t hide them.

  10. Random Thoughts

    David boy if you don’t publish the documents then Wikileaks will, and then the whole world will know what’s up.

    I haven’t seen the documents and I don’t know all the facts, but in my interactions with Dr. Ishmael I have found him to be an excellent physician, scholar, a gentleman and a loyal Barbadian.

    I’v never met the Minister of Health or Dr. Sparman. However distant relatives who have had surgery done by Dr. Sparman sing his praises.

    As a matter of principle doctors ought ALWAYS to act in the best interest of the patient, even if the best interest of the patient conflicts with the best interest of the doctor’s bank account.

    I see one particular doctor still because many years ago I had a problem and I though that surgery was the best option, the doctor who could have done the surgery for $8,000 put me on medication for 6 months instead. The doctor earned no surgery money off me, I had no surgery and I am still well today.

    There are still a number of doctors out there who are excellent, who are scholars and gentlemen (and ladies) and loyal Barbadians.

    If we are not careful we will end up running them all from Barbados and when our old parents, our children and we ourselves take sick will we have the tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands it takes to get medical treatment overseas?

    If we undermine the capacity of the young doctors at the QEH to learn surgery from the older experts (and if we deny those older experts the opportunity to teach the younger doctors) who will do our surgery when we need it? Ad if we can’t afford Dr. Sparman and other private practitioners what then?

    I have to remind th BU family that one does not become a good surgeon by reading nuff, nuff books. One becomes a good surgeon by practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, praqctice, practice.

    All the research shows that a doctor who has done a procedure 10,000 times is much better at it than a doctor who is doing the procedure for the first time. If the Minister of Health does not understand this (and he may not as he is a layman) we the potential patients must remind him of this and if we need to remind him everyday then we must. Because it is in our own best interest to do so.

    …….and that is the problem with GUYANESE, they corrupt everything and everyone they come into contact with.

    Publish your documents, 6pm or no 6pm.

  13. Barbados Uh Come From

    This looking serious, and I am not glorying in it either! CARSON CADOGAN, ADRIAN HINDS, ET AL, all of you DLP Bloggers who are always quick to jump on the BLP’s back with accusations of corruption at every turn, I look forward to hearing your IMMEDIATE opinions on this matter.

    BU, it is necessary that you give us ALL the evidence so that the people of Barbados know what is going on! As Phony Marshall would say, “LET THE PEOPLE KNOW!”

  14. Carson C. Cadogan

    QUESTION

    “Supposed I told you that Sparman gives doctors here in Barbados a commission”

    Is the paying of commission not the norm in the medical industry here in Barbados?

    Carson, don’t continue to be such an imbecile. Leave the Guyaneese people alone! What we want to know is, “Is Inniss squeaky clean?”

    THIS IS CLEARLY NOT NECESSARILY TRUE. THJINK ABOUT IT.lol
    Watch some idiot challenge me now.lol
    David I think you should publish the information bit by bit. As soon as you go through a piece of it ….release it.

    I read with great pleasure the turn about face in the opinion of one here, who in another blog was rejoicing that the authorities were bringing Ishmael to his knees, and criticising him no end – while admitting thathe did not have the facts. Hilarious!

  17. Random Thoughts

    But Carson C. Cadogan Guyanese cannot corrupt Bajans unless Bajans are willing to be corrupted.

    As they say it takes 2 t tango.

  18. Random Thoughts

    Question for BU family:

    If we punish those people who do the right things…how then do we sanction those who do the wrong things?

  19. Georgie Porgie

    David
    It is clear that the traditional media is not interested in the truth, and that they care little when the innocent is being abused and un-faired?

    I know this for a fact! When the member for St James North ran over the foot of a young policeman who stopped him for a traffic infringement at Trents in the late 90’s, and he sought to have the youngster fired, the doctor who examined the young policeman circulated certain information to the Leader of the Opposition, the media, and the COP with the TRUTH. No one published anything!

    When a certain female MOH held sway she fired a certain doctor from Government employ simply because he had destroyed her in debate in the District A court a few years previously. I can go on with similar examples. The case of Richard Ishmael is certainly not an isolated case. It is not the first and it wont be the last.

    Just as the traditional media is totally disinterested in the truth, the recent issue between Sparman, the Health Minister and Dr. Ishmael reveals that the members of the ruling DLP government are not very committed to the proposed Freedom of Information, and that all of their government ministers are NOT really : “squeaky clean.”

    The Director of Medical Services (DMS) of the Barbados QEH will act on behalf of the Health Minister of Barbados and seek to get a heart patient transferred from the QEH, to a private clinic ran by a man, who is not a surgeon, BECAUSE HE HAS TO DO THE MINISTER’S BIDDING OR LOSE HIS JOB AND WORK PERMIT- he is after all an expatriate- a hireling, who has no care for the “sheep” .

    If the Barbados Health Minister is a director of Sparman’s clinic, and you have evidence to that fact, you have a duty to EXPOSE HIM IN THE LIGHT OF HIS ARROGANCE AND ACTIONS TO SUPRESS WHAT EVER INFORMATION ISHMAEL WROTE ON THE QEH LETTER HEAD!

    If the Barbados Health Minister is a director of Sparman’s clinic, and you have evidence to that fact, you have a duty to EXPOSE HIM IN THE LIGHT OF HIS ARROGANCE AND ATTEMPTS at scare tactics to sue when Dr. Ishmael seems to be asking reasonable questions in the interest of patient care.

    If it is true that the DMS call on behalf of the Health Minister to convince Mr. Cotterell’s wife to have her critically ill husband transferred to Sparman’s clinic, THEN HE SHOULD BE FIRED AND SENT OUT OF BIM. THIS IS CLEARLY NOT HIS ROLE! We do realize that he is between a rock and a hard place, but does he have no pride or ethics? Must he do the Minister’s bidding for the price of a mess of pottage?

    I am not one who is anti Sparman, because I don’t know him, but you ask some good questions. How did Sparman know that a heart patient was at the QEH? Why did the DMS call on behalf of the Health Minister to convince Mr. Cotterell’s wife to have her critically ill husband transferred to Sparman’s clinic, knowing full well that Mr. Cotterell (a UK visitor to Barbados) was seriously ill and that he was on non-invasive ventilation and was in no condition to be transferred out of the QEH to Sparman‘s Clinic in Belleville?

    There is a breach in confidentially of patient”s information and privacy at the QEH, WHICH IS BEING LED AND FOSTERED AND ALLOWED BY THE DMS AND THE MOH ACCORDING TO YOUR INFORMATION, AND THE “PRIEST WITH BALLS” IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT THE PERPETRATORS………….BUT IS GOING AFTER A LOYAL BAJAN DOCTOR THAT HAS GIVEN STERLING SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY.

    If it were not so heinous, it would be hilarious “ to think that the Barbadians health officials would suspend Dr. Ishmael and then try to silence him to hide this ugliness by threatening to sue him.”

    This enormous abuse of power warrants an investigation and the dismissal of the Minister. PM Stuart needs to intervene here! THIS IS MOST EMBARRASING

    Can you tell me more about this “nude news of television” business, Sir?

    David I look foward to your disclosures at 6 PM today.

  20. Georgie Porgie

    Instead of going after Ishmael here is an issue that the MOH should be sinking his teeth into.

    Teenage pregnancies is a serious potential health issue!

    By Sanka Price | Wed, December 22, 2010 – 12:04 AM
    BIRTHS TO TEENS are on the rise again in Barbados.

    In fact, for the last eight years, there has been a steady increase in the percentage of teenage births. And this worrying trend has prompted one social worker to call for a comprehensive sex education programme at all levels in the country.

    According to provisional figures for 2009 from the Barbados Statistical Department, the last year for which official statistics are available, 525 teens between the ages of 15 and 19 gave birth last year, the highest number recorded since 2002.

    This number represents 16.4 per cent of the total number of births recorded – the highest percentage increase of such births since 2002.

    According to George Griffith, executive director of the Barbados Family Planning Association (BFPA), this increase in teen births can only be effectively tackled

    “We can only see on the record the number of births to teens.

    What we don’t know is the precise number of pregnancies. And I wouldn’t want to hazard a guess as to . . . how many they are [but] there is every reason to believe that the number of pregnancies far outnumber the births,” he told the DAILY NATION yesterday.

    Griffith was speaking after his overview of the BFPA’s Family Life Education and Peer Counselling Training 2010 Programme at the course’s recent graduation ceremony, in which he calledfor its expansion as a way of rebuilding community relations nationwide.

    The BFPA head said because the majority of those having children were lacking in the most basic parenting skills imaginable, “this country is in need of this programme multiplied all across these fields and hills we proudly call our own”.

    “It is my hope and prayer that this training, which is so necessary for the support and development ting and for the guidance of individuals, families and communities, will not be a casualty of any austerity measures now or in the future.

    “As difficult as it is, we cannot afford to lose ground in the area of sexual and reproductive health. To do so would set this country back, and the cost of recovery would be too daunting a thought even to contemplate,” Griffith said.

    He added: “As a boy I heard that what you don’t know can’t hurt you. In today’s world of sexuality what you don’t know can kill you.”

    “Is Inniss squeaky clean?”

    We will know after DAVID posts his documents.

  22. Carson C. Cadogan

    I agree with Georgie Porgie, the traditional media in Barbados never appear interested in helping people who are being unfaired in Barbados.

  23. It will be very interesting to see how the new PM deals with this case.

  24. @David. In my view you are quite right to check the documents carefully before posting them. The main characters have no right to privacy. However, there may be some references in the documents that need to be redacted before you publish them as they might involve the privacy of persons not central to the case and the public’s right to know.

    I also believe that these documents deserve to be published, as the allegations impact directly on our move towards a full national health service.

    As for the role the so called “legitimate” press plays in Barbados, well I think my views on that are very well known.

  25. While i don’t know all the facts my questions are,

    1) what did the sick children do when Dr. Ishmael was at the bedside of PM Thompson when he was sick both here and abroad.

    2)Was their health compromised in any way.

    3)If Sparman is not a surgeon, how is it that he did operations

    4)If all that is being said about Sparman is authentic and not a continuation of the tussle to oust him out of Barbados, why has they been no investigation into his qualifications. Isn’t there suppose to be a medical board which approves the certification of medical personnel.

    5) Wasn’t this thing of drawing patients away from the QEH to private practice always going, so that the consultants could make more money.

    6)Why are we surprised that Donville Inniss is alleged to be part of this corruption, don’t we know his history

    7)Why is the Barbados Labour Party voiceless on this issue. Do we have an opposition that speaks on the behalf of the people.

    8)When will the people of Barbados insist on putting CLEAN politicians in parliament and when we find out that they are corrupt agitate to get them out.

    When will we take back our power.

  26. Georgie Porgie

    full marks Amuse!

    I also believe that these documents deserve to be published, as the allegations impact directly on our move towards a full national health service.

    In 1985 Government listened and set up our NHS via the polyclinics, instead of along the lines of the British Health Service . They did not listen from the point of view that my propsals were to benefit the elderly [ who deserved it because of thier stirling contribution to our country] and to the children- as thier health was related to our future. Special disease groups were to benefit also.

    [Note that unlike what the medical illiterate Hannity spews out on Fox news nightly that,the BRITISH system works and is a good model that served its time especially when there were few drugs and no costly drugs as we have today.

    Our politicians erred at the time by bringing in a free for all in the attempt to win an election which they still lost in 1986.

    The move towards a more advanced and comprehensive Health Service was presented on BU since early 2008.

    I read the power as recorded in the NATION as uttering some MORONIC MOUTHINGS on this matter. It seems that those about him does not know how to show him how to involve Bajans in bringing this about, seeing that its implementation will involve even the teaching of school children certain things.

    Instead we have “priests with balls” trying to “bring doctors to thier knees” as one poster points out, and we have figurehead administrators totally ignorant.

    Its HILARIOUS!

  27. Georgie Porgie

    Fran | December 22, 2010 at 2:06 PM |

    You ask some good questions.
    1) what did the sick children do when Dr. Ishmael was at the bedside of PM Thompson when he was sick both here and abroad.
    2)Was their health compromised in any way.
    THEY WERE OBVIOUSLY WELL TAKEN CARE OFF
    HIS STAFF COULD COMMUNICATE WITH ISHMAEL

    HE HAS NO INFLUENCE ON PATIENT CARE AS IT IS KNOW. THIS IS A BIG DIFFERENCE. BELIEVE ME. I know that this is difficult for some of you haters and skeptics to comprehend

    3)If Sparman is not a surgeon, how is it that he did operations

    You have to define operations?
    I am sure he is not doing open heart surgery in his office.
    But he must be capable of putting a catheter in a vein or artery to do certain tests. Are not these procedures simple operations?

    4)If all that is being said about Sparman is authentic and not a continuation of the tussle to oust him out of Barbados, why has they been no investigation into his qualifications. Isn’t there suppose to be a medical board which approves the certification of medical personnel.

    Yes there is a medical board which approves the certification of medical personnel.
    So there is no way that Sparman could practice medicine in BARBADOS if his qualifications was not previously vetted by this board. Who else do you want to investigate his qualifications Sir. He has been practicing in Bim for 8 years because he is registered to do so.

    5) Wasn’t this thing of drawing patients away from the QEH to private practice always going, so that the consultants could make more money.

    Never heard of it in this way. I know that certain things are done very elegantly by a certain group of class mates…but not as cited above.

    6)Why are we surprised that Donville Inniss is alleged to be part of this corruption, don’t we know his history

    No I don’t. Can you tell us more?

    7)Why is the Barbados Labour Party voiceless on this issue. Do we have an opposition that speaks on the behalf of the people.

    Since the toppling of Mottley the opposition seems to have gone dead, and its supporters on BU,LOL

    Maybe they see this matter as a matter between Donville and Richard rather than a matter of Public Health

    8)When will the people of Barbados insist on putting CLEAN politicians in parliament and when we find out that they are corrupt agitate to get them out.
    When will we take back our power.

    Well David is trying to give us a voice hear on BU.
    LETS ORGANIZE A TEA PARTY ON THIS MATTER AND GET RID OF DONVILLE AND REVEREND BALLS!

    hOPE SOME OF THIS EXPLAINS A FEW THINGS

  28. Alla this waiting to 6:00pm shite. BFP already beat you to the punch and it is very evident from the letter posted that Dr. Ishmael is being unfaired. There is a conspiracy to protect certain individuals who have been making a hella lotta money to let Sparman know that there were cash paying patients in the A and E. Sparman could never practice medicine anywhere in the world if he didn’t have certainn people in Barbados allowing it. The man is a phacking criminal and has non of the credentials he claims to have.
    Dr. Ishmael should be lauded and rewarded for blowing the whistle on this greedy ass meglomaniac!

  29. Ya see all this bolicks and bull piss?There is more in de mortar than what’s in de pestle.Somebody needs to read the wyfe of Bath Tales’To His Mistress Going To Bed’.Dr.Ishmeal can tell his enemies that he is under the rock. Full stop!BU can tell anybody the facts as presented.That is why nobody can stop reggae cause reggae STRONG! Figure that one out! Call the election! I voting fa David Thompson and Lenin of Russia and Mrs Ram and……..

  30. @ Carson C. Cadogan: I hope you are wrong on the claim that kick backs are the norm in the medical profession here in Barbados. Although I must admit that I recently heard that a well known clinic on the West Coast is becoming famous for this. Apparently the refer anyone with any type of chest pain to the Sparman Clinic.

  31. Carson C. Cadogan

    Question

    Wake up and smell the coffee.

  32. Carson C. Cadogan

    Why are all the comments awaiting moderation all of a sudden?

  33. @Question et al… To share…

    I’m asthmatic.

    I get a prescription from my Doctor. I fill it at my Doctor’s pharmacy. “That will be $17 sir”.

    I then go back to the same pharmacy and buy the same drug “over the counter”. “That will be $15 sir”.

    I then go to Knights Pharmacy and buy the same drug over the counter. “That will be $10 sir”.

    WTF???

  34. Carson C. Cadogan

    I am backing Ishmael on this one.

    He was good enough for David Thompson, he is good enough for me.

  35. well it will be a firestorm afterall. wonder whats Carson read on all this ?

  36. Georgie Porgie

    LOl
    You are paying a dispensing fee for the prescription ! LOL Quite legal since around the 80′s, if my memory serves me right . lol

    Question
    kick backs is certainly not the norm in the medical profession here in Barbados.

    re Although I must admit that I recently heard that a well known clinic on the West Coast is becoming famous for this. Apparently the refer anyone with any type of chest pain to the Sparman Clinic.

    IT IS VERY REASONABLE AND GOOD PRACTICE TO REFER PERSONS WITH CHEST PAINS TO A ‘CARDIOLOGIST”. THEN YOU ARE NOT LIABLE. YOU HAVE TAKEN THE RESPONSIBILITY OFF YOUR HANDS IF PATIENT HAS A SERIOUS CARDIAC PROBLEM.

  37. Georgie Porgie

    Ishmael got the fellows balls in a vice! These fellows having all sorts of chest pains now from “referred pain” (pun intended). As you know the testicular nerves descend from T12 the dermatome from which the heat develops. So squeezing thier balls will give them chest pain in the heart. (remember when you played foward defensively and missed where you used to feel the pain?)

    This is bare fun.
    Headline PRIEST WITH BALLS GETTING HIS BALLS SQUEEZED BY CHEST PHYSICIAN

    Wonder what the fellow who has the same name as Tonto’s horse is saying now that he has the facts, about the need to “bring Ishmael to his knees.” ?
    I HOPE HE COUNTER SUES

  38. Questions that need to be answered:
    1. How did Sparman become involved in the management of this visitor in the first place?
    2. Was he called by a mole in the A&E?
    3. How come the patient’s NOK seemed unaware of Sparman’s purported involvement in the management of her husband’s case?
    4. Did the Min of Health overstep his bounds by giving directives that the patient should be transferred from the QEH to the Sparman clinic?
    5. What is the MOH’s involvement in the Sparman clinic? Is he a shareholder?
    6. Is it true that the Sparman clinic was given duty free concessions and tax free exemptions?
    7. Why has the Barbados Medical Council allowed Sparman to practice here in Barbados even though he has such a checkered pass?
    8. By suspending Dr. Ishmael prior to the conclusion of the investigation, is the board not jumping to certain conclusions?

  39. So seriously, is it that The Medical Board did not check Dr. Sparman’s credentials and do a criminal check on de man or was nuff money passed to the relevant people to turn a blind eye?

    IN either case, Bajans need to be outraged! Would you take your daughter or wife to this man? Jesus peace!

  40. @ Georgie Porgie – When this clinic is referring 8, 9 and 10 year olds who arrive at Sparman and are subjected to an EKG, ECHO and a barrage of other test, come on. Even persons like me can work out when my nieces and nephews and their parents have been duped, “something strange is going on here.”

  41. @Dr. GP: “You are paying a dispensing fee for the prescription ! LOL Quite legal since around the 80′s, if my memory serves me right . lol

    Agreed. And you’ve said exactly what another medical doctor (not my doctor, but a friend) said to me privately.

    So then the question becomes…

    Why do not Doctors advise and facilitate their patients to the best way (read: lowest cost) they can get their required medicine and/or treatment?

  42. @Outrage

    It was never a race, if we wanted to we could have posted the files this morning when we posted the blog, first.

  43. Georgie Porgie

    They ought to CH.
    Not to do so is actually is bad medicine really.
    If you were a poor single mother with a number of children in an epidemic you would have to chose big time between buying medicine and doing something else.

    Question
    Re Porgie – When this clinic is referring 8, 9 and 10 year olds who arrive at Sparman and are subjected to an EKG, ECHO and a barrage of other test,

    I AGREE WITH YOU SIR
    THIS IS BAD MEDICINE IN BOTH CASES ACCORDING TO THE HISTORY YOU GIVE ABOVE

    I was referring to if I had an adult with chest pain I would refer them to a reputable cardiologist. You can see that in such cases one would legitimately pass the buck to a specialist. note I did not practice in Barbados in Sparman’s time.

    ome on. Even persons like me can work out when my nieces and nephews and their parents have been duped, “something strange is going on here.”

  44. Seems The Nation wants no part of publishing the letters.this doesn’t come to any suprise.

  45. Georgie Porgie

    Question Says:
    Questions that need to be answered:
    1. How did Sparman become involved in the management of this visitor in the first place?

    HE WAS CERTAINLY NOT OFFICIALLY INVOLVED.

    HE WAS CALLED IN
    HE GOT A REFERRAL FROM DR OR NURSE MOLE OR DR KICKBACK lol

    2. Was he called by a mole in the A&E?
    SEEMS IT WAS A GOOSE…………whose jackass will soon be cooked. Can our officials get bank records of A& # personel

    3. How come the patient’s NOK seemed unaware of Sparman’s purported involvement in the management of her husband’s case?

    CAUSE THE NOK DID NOT KNOW SPARMAN OR INVITE HIS “INTEVENTION OR “EX”- PERTISE

    4. Did the Min of Health overstep his bounds by giving directives that the patient should be transferred from the QEH to the Sparman clinic?

    SEEMS THAT THE MOH IS A REFEREE not sure if a FIFA one (fee for) LOL He does not refer himself, but he can check that potential refers be referred lol
    He is a fee for supervisor

    5. What is the MOH’s involvement in the Sparman clinic? Is he a shareholder?
    WE SHOULD HAVE THIS “INVESTIGATED” THOROUGHLY! LOL blood tests cat scans and all
    we can send the imaging abroad cause Ishmael is on suspension

    is it true that the Sparman clinic was given duty free concessions and tax free exemptions?
    WE SHOULD HAVE THIS “INVESTIGATED” TOO

    WE MUST “REFER” THIS TOO lol

    7. Why has the Barbados Medical Council allowed Sparman to practice here in Barbados even though he has such a checkered pass?
    See above

    8. By suspending Dr. Ishmael prior to the conclusion of the investigation, is the board not jumping to certain conclusions?
