Doc’s pain

Sir Errol “Mickey” Walrond (File Picture)

A NUMBER of doctors, including a well known cardiologist, have not been included in a new Specialist Register established by the Barbados Medical Council.

And the SUNDAY SUN has been reliably informed that some have written to the council appealing the non-listing, with at least one reported to be contemplating legal action.

When contacted, chairman of the council, Sir Errol “Mickey” Walrond, explained that since the new Medical Act came into force last June, there had been two registers – one for general practitioners and the other covering medical specialists.

Sir Errol admitted that a number of doctors working as specialist physicians had not been included in the new Specialist Register.

Posted by Francis Blackman 9 months, 3 weeks ago: This is interesting. When Sir Errol steps forward to challenge an issue that seems to be excluding him and some of his peers from a Barbados medical specialty list I think that it has to be an error. Finer description may sub- categorize it as conceptual, political, printer's error or any other number of adjectives beyond my pay grade. I anxiously await publication of the opinions of others including those who see this as progress. It does appear that the specialty of divide and rule is alive and well. Unfortunately it also appears not to be the tool of Secretaries and Officers of Something or the Other, OBE, who arrived last week on SS Sailing Ship. It would be wonderful if I am mistaken.
