  1. Register at the UWI Sickle Cell Unit is the place to go.
    Solution is that all Hospitals need a Sickle Cell Unit or special space.

  2. What that’s a damn shame on the staff member do they know people’s feelings 😢😢😢. Punishment for any staff who behaviour is unacceptable period 😢😢😢😢😢.

  3. It is a shame for the health workers to treat sickle cell patients like that. The pain that they feel is very, very bad .

  4. Imagine people go to the hospital to get treated and instead face discrimination. What has our profession become?😢

  5. If you don’t have a heart which is sensitive to another human being’s pain, then you should not work as a nurse or doctor.

  6. I’m living with that disease and trust me it’s not easy the pain is terrible at times..

    1. I am also a sickler but thank God I don’t really have crisis. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

  7. He is telling the truth i experienced this alot at the cornwall hospital . I can write a book when ever we have to go she cry the only department that treat them well is the pediactric they were caring from lyear old until 12yrs from then a pure dis respect and mind you i dont go tgere often it is horrible the treat ment they get

  8. I sympathize with him. I understand his pain. I have a niece that suffers from it., sleepless nights I spent with her, when her pain got unbearable she bit her knuckles. Black marks are all over her knuckles.

  9. Do best for these types of patients some of them don’t have much time on earth left so take the best care of them because they are suffering their pain is unbearable

  10. This breaks my heart. It should be investigated and all of them should be reprimanded. Very disgusting!

  11. Now you all know that not only Sickle Cell patients but asthmatic goes through it too i was so happy when K.P.H SEND me to the NATIONAL CHEST HOSPITAL WHERE i was treated with respect thank you Jesus.

  12. I have heard so many horrible stories about Spanish Town hospital the way patients are treated its a disgrace,the ministry of health needs to take a closer look so many people can’t be telling lies.I know people who went there for care and are dead now ,don’t know what really happened.

  13. I had been through that same treatment some years ago where a nurse told me that next time I came down there they would not look at me so I know what your feeling
