Gastro on the ward

Gastro on the ward

Sat, June 23, 2012 - 12:00 AM

People in the know say there was an outbreak of gastroenteritis at a certain medical institution a few weeks ago that resulted in a ward being quarantined.

 More than a dozen patients and staff were so sick that visitors were prevented from entering that ward.

Three nurses returned to work only last week while two diabetic patients are now resting more comfortably after a severe stomach bug.

Stale reviews for news

Viewers of Channel 8 have been complaining bitterly of having to watch outdated series such as Prison Break, CSI Miami and The Game.

One woman said that the 2008 Antiguan production Paradise View has been televised three times while some viewers are outraged at having to read caption lines from Jewel In The Palace.

Some have asked why the CBC Late News never seems to carry sports items and why it is a rehash of the 7 p.m. main news bulletin. It should really be renamed the Stale News, they say.

Wolf on the hunt

Call him a wolf in sheep’s clothes. He is a professional working in a particular Government department, a married man with a family and someone who boasts about being a Christian with high moral standards.

But some say he misrepresents  his work place and manipulates a situation  to his advantage by using whatever means he can to encourage a woman who visited him for counselling into a sexual relationship with him, although he knows she already has a family.

This woman has been hurting and pleading for help, but instead  she got seduced by the so-called professional who pretended he cared.

Look out at home

Who is the middle-aged, very malicious woman whose phone was disconnected last week?

The woman, who peeps through her kitchen window from 6 a.m. until 10 p.m. every day, takes a short break only when she has to visit the doctor.

She should gossip less and try to help her hard-working man who has been taken for a ride for many years.

Rude awakening

An outspoken woman who works in a boutique knows everybody’s business, but only recently found out that the ex-convict she likes is really gay.

The woman, who has been exposing her bosom for years much to the annoyance of some customers, has been romantically linked with a rebel who has done some strange things in prison.

Her ex-boyfriends and many of her buddies are very disappointed by the puzzling choice she has made for a lover.

One man said the other girls are in no position to laugh at her as nearly all are dealing with “rude boys” and big-up women.

Disappearing act

Pwople want to know what has happened to the woman who dumped a man a few months ago.

They say the shameless woman, who is married to a sportsman, was hurrying to get back home when she caused trouble.

Her neighbours want to know why this sly woman is going to work every day like nothing ever happened.

People feel it’s a disgrace she pretended not to have a clue about what she did.
