Guyana Watch serves West Coast Berbice

Jul 30, 2010 News

– medical team heads for Windsor Forest today

Hundreds of residents of West Coast Berbice took the opportunity to see the doctors of the Guyana Watch Medical team yesterday.
The Team descended on the Bath Settlement Primary School early yesterday morning and within fifteen minutes had their clinic up and ready. Their arrival was not a moment too soon either, since there were over sixty patients waiting to see the doctors by the time that they arrived.
Within minutes the volunteers were registering patients and ferreting out medical histories and vital information to assist the doctors in their diagnostic sessions. Patients were then sent to adjacent rooms – adults to one, children to another.
A chat with the patients of the clinic while they waited to see the doctors revealed that there was a wide cross-section of persons waiting to see the doctors.
Take for instance Frederick who lives at Referendum City behind Bath. Frederick is a pensioner now, but was a worker at the sugar estate for some 42 years. He says that this is not his first time seeing the Guyana Watch specialists. They treated him last year and he says that the medication that they gave to him for his blood pressure worked wonders. However it ran out and the drugs that were prescribed to him locally haven’t been working as well. He says this year he is back because his pressure is too high yet again and he has been having some pains in his left knee that he wants the doctors to look at.
Twenty-two year-old Bibi, a mother of two from Bath Settlement brought her 17-week-old son, Saif, in for a checkup. She said that he had a cold and a rash for which the pediatricians prescribed medication. Little Saif however was so charming that one of the volunteers who is also a serving Executive Member of Guyana Watch took charge of the baby while his mother saw one of the doctors in her own turn. On her way out, Bibi said that she was sure that the medication would help because she knows the brand is a good one.
Moonia, a 70-year-old retired gardener said that she was pleased with the clinic. She said that the doctors were very nice to her and the treatment was good, her complaint was that she was having knee problems.
Twelve-year-old Maywattie and her three-year-old brother Govin came with their mother from Shieldtown to see the doctors. Maywattie had an ear infection and her brother had the flu but by the time they left the clinic they were both smiling – although six-year-old Anjalie couldn’t say the same. She was in tears after she had four teeth extracted by one of the dentists on the team, Dr. Chiran Reddy.
The team which has criss-crossed the country over the last five days is now ready to wrap up this year’s visit; today marks the last day of the clinic. The Guyana Watch Medical Team will be at the Windsor Forest Primary School on the West Coast of Demerara and they are calling on as many residents as possible to come out and see the doctors today.
