@BClounded@chenae876 Allergies can make nasal obstruction worse. Reducing the nasal obstruction and the crooked nose, will help the allergies and make the patient breathe better. It’s very unlikely allergies is the only issue.
@chenae876 If the Doctor recommends a sleep test they should do it. There are several places that does it. They don’t have to go that specific Doctor. Undiagnosed sleep apnea can lead to sudden death, heart attack , stroke. And sleep apnea is much more common than people think.
🔘 DEVELOPING: Scotiabank to take full ownership of Scotia Jamaica
Scotia Group Jamaica Limited is to be bought out by its Canadian-based parent company through majority shareholder, Scotiabank Caribbean Holding Limited. This means that the bank will no longer be publicly listed, but will instead become a private entity.
▫️The sale, approved by the bank's directors, will be at a cost of J$61.50 per share or about J$56.7 billion.
▫️Scotiabank Jamaica says the sale of the shares will not materially affect its Jamaican operations. In fact, president and CEO Audrey Tugwell-Henry says the transaction is intended to help the entity to better focus on long-term value creation and core business growth.
▫️The purchase price of $61.50 per share works out to a 13-per cent premium of its 30-day average trading price on the Jamaica Stock Exchange.
▫️Scotiabank's minority shareholders are to vote on the proposed shares sale before there can be court approval. The process is expected to close in the fourth calendar quarter of 2026.

@thelaymansdr Doc it’s not right though. The instruments that she asked to get should be readily available for an emergency. And it was not always like that. And that’s incorrect about not readily available in public.
I find it funny how t**ton is at the center of every breed and baby tweet all when he’s not summoned but somehow him social media manager clock out when we a talk bout hospital me and health care situations…hmmm interesting
Happy Nurses’ Day to the backbone of Jamaica’s health system.
Today, we honour every nurse across our island for your skill, your sacrifice, and your unwavering commitment to care. You carry more than patients. You carry families, communities, and a nation.
We see you. We value you, and we will continue advocating for better working conditions, fair compensation, and the respect you deserve.
Former @UHWI_JA board chairman Wayne Chai Chong has maintained that he resigned in December 2023 after Health Minister Dr Christopher Tufton overruled a board decision to replace then acting CEO Fitzgerald Mitchell - who has since been confirmed as CEO.
Doctors have to be reassigned to Linstead hospital as the Cubans are gone. AC down in operating theatre at KPH. People really don’t know what’s going on in our health sector.
He overrode the expert determinatiom of the actual regulator to grant a permit for mining in one of this island's critical watersheds. But tell me again why NaRRA isn't dangerous.
@NationwideRadio You have heard one side of a story and have concluded that the doctors are at fault and are bad actors. Very irresponsible rhetoric. The CT scan machine at KPH is frequently out of commission. It is the only scanner in the public health sector in Kingston and is overworked.
@NationwideRadio@TaunaThomas there is only one CT machine at KPH which serves the entire island. The next available date is next year. Therefore patients have to do it privately if they can’t wait a year. We need more CT machines. Please investigate lack of resources in hospitals
@RoshedoWilliams You clearly don’t know how the people of portland were suffering under Ann marie and her husband. Especially the fishermen who couldn’t get access to the beach. Isat did this as a challenge to get beds donated to the hospital. And now we have specially designed beds.
