@IAMYENDI The safest things to get early are the extra things. Pens, notebooks, sharpeners, pencils, rubbers, paint etc. Everything else bought early will have you crossing your fingers

@LattybooHarris @IAMYENDI Not only that, a 2026 edition will suddenly pop up before the end of July so books are best the last week of July or the first week of August also.

[Dr. Priyam Bordoloi @DocPriyamMD]

Saw a patient today with a hemoglobin of 1.9 g/dL. For context, a level that low is almost incompatible with normal consciousness, but she walked right into the clinic on her own feet.

For three long years, she lived with crushing weakness and since last 6 months breathlessness from just walking across a room. Why didn’t she get help sooner? At first, it was because the kids had crucial school exams and later her husband was reluctant to deal with the hassle of a hospital admission.

Her health was treated as a background inconvenience.
When we dug deeper, it got worse. A year ago, her Hb was 6.4 g/dL. A doctor explicitly told them she needed immediate admission. The family refused, walked out with a basic strip of iron tablets, she took them for two weeks, forgot about them, and nobody in the house ever bothered to check on her or remind her.

She didn't even come to the hospital today because of the air hunger. She came because her periods had completely stopped for months. Her body was so profoundly starved of iron and oxygen that it literally shut down her reproductive axis just to divert what little blood she had left to her heart and brain.

It’s completely heartbreaking. A woman will literally bleed her body dry, gasp for air for years and keep working silently, only to be brought to a doctor when her normal functioning stops.

Please check on the women in your homes. Stop letting them normalize chronic exhaustion.

Happy Teachers’ Day to Christopher Graham, former principal of Phoenix Academy. The impact remains; my children thrived under his leadership. A visionary educator. Today, I reflect on his excellence. I truly miss Phoenix and those wonderful teachers. #1 Aunty Sophie

To the gentleman who saw my parents stranded in St. E on Sunday night stopped helped, towed them to your house, let them store the car there then took them back to my aunt's house so they could get the mechanic the following day to fix the car I thank you. Good people still exist

If Jamaica taxes online purchases to push consumers back to local small businesses, won’t those same businesses still face the same tax burden? If their costs remain higher than the original baseline, won’t prices stay elevated? And if that’s the case, what would be the change?

If outbreaks of polio, measles, mumps, and other preventable diseases start happening, and I remain silent, just know—there’s nothing more to say. Vaccines save lives. My family is protected. Is yours?

Dr. Tasha-Kay Walker-Palmer is my study partner from med school.

The most dedicated doctor I know, at literally any hour at hospital helping patients.

While travelling, she had to be rushed to operating theatre.

Do what you can to help 🙏

I wish someone would compare prices this week, to the 'slashed' prices promised for Black Friday JA.

Turned 40, did my first mammogram and with two GEASO insurance cards I paid less than one patty! It also did not hurt.
