Well done, GPHC Male Surgical Dept. staff

Dec 12, 2019 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,

We read ever so often about “horror stories’’ at Georgetown Public Hospital. I do not frequent the GPHC, so I cannot dispute any such accounts. However, I have had recent reason to seek medical attention at that Institution over the past two weeks and my experience has been positive and rewarding.
Dr. Hydar Khan, Dr. Harris and another young female Doctor (whose name I did not retain) and every member of the support staff in the Male Surgical Department were very respectful, attentive in their disposition and willing to respond to concerns.
I felt very comfortable. Dr. Khan kept monitoring my passage throughout the process, for which I am ever grateful. It was very evident to me that, staff being willing and co-operative, the GPHC can boast a positive reputation.
I was impressed with Dr. Samaroo who took pains to explain, in very simple language to a complaining patient, the options that patient had in a particular issue. Commendable!
I witnessed an Afro-Guyanese Technician going “out of his way” to get items to attend to an Amerindian brother. I asked him his name. He retorted: ‘Not important; I am just doing my job’. In fact, 90% of those staff who took care of me were Afro-Guyanese. It made me proud to see “Guyanese-ness” over the past two weeks in that Department.
And I pray that I see that every day; for only that way can this country be truly Guyana.
Additionally, I found the place to be tidy, notwithstanding a need for on-going maintenance/repair of broken items in the washrooms and, I suppose, elsewhere in the Hospital.
Folks all at the GPHC: God bless you all (even the rough ones) and may you have a peaceful Holiday Season and a great 2020.
Pleasantly
Taajnauth Jadunauth
