Welcome Back Mr. Manning

[toyota2nr]

^^^did your secretary receive my transcripts?

Sorry I can't read chicken scratches........what exactly is your point?

[trini mk5]

It seems some people still haven't cashed their reality check as yet.

A stroke or any type of sickness is nothing to laugh about. It is sad when it happens to any law-abiding, God-fearing, humble citizen.

Ironic though to see his life held in the balance by the very same people he despised and had nothing but contempt for.

your choice of words

Manning flying out for medical treatment (at taxpayers costs)

like the sympathy and prayers not enough for the man noted for telling the population when questioned about Hart
"So be it" and other forms of arrogance

Manning moves to Medical Centre in US
Story Created: Feb 6, 2012 at 9:52 PM ECT
Story Updated: Feb 6, 2012 at 9:52 PM ECT
Former prime minister Patrick Manning was removed from the San Fernando General Hospital during the early hours yesterday and taken by air ambulance to the Walter Reed Medical Centre in the United States.
At the Washington-based hospital he will be treated for a stroke he suffered two weeks ago.
He was accompanied by his wife, Hazel, and a doctor and nurse from the Walter Reed Hospital.
His sister, Dr Petronella Manning-Alleyne, said he would remain at the rehabilitation centre for the next four to six weeks.
He would undergo a series of physio, speech and occupational therapy at the facility, she said.
Manning-Alleyne hosted a press conference at Manning's San Fernando East constituency office, Coffee Street, San Fernando, yesterday.
She said, "It took an enormous amount of effort by people behind the scenes and on the ward to arrange that air ambulance for him and we really did not know significantly what time he would be gone. Air transport is always done in the wee hours of the morning," she said.
Manning-Alleyne said during her brother's stay at the San Fernando Hospital his medical condition improved significantly.
"(He) defied all odds and we are hopeful we will have a positive outcome in the shortest possible time. He has been receiving his medical care in Trinidad and Tobago despite the fact that he has been to Cuba," she said.
Manning-Alleyne said a decision was taken to transfer Manning to the rehabilitation centre, as Trinidad and Tobago has not yet achieved Vision 2020 status.
"So even though we do have services here there is no question the services are superior to what we have to offer," she said.
Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar said last week that she has approved a sum of US$91,000 (TT$585,130) to pay for an air ambulance to transport Manning to the hospital in Washington DC.
Health Minister Dr Fuad Khan said medical bills incurred by the former prime minister would be paid by the government.
Khan said Manning's initial medical bill was estimated at US$50,000.
"But I saw it is now being quoted as US$90,000. I am not sure of the amount. I have not contacted the family, but I expect that they contact me if I am needed," he said.
Over the years, several prominent US political figures have received treatment at this hospital. On July 13, 1985 then-US president Ronald Reagan had surgery at the hospital to remove polyps from his colon. Reagan underwent surgery at the hospital on January 5, 1987 for prostate cancer. –Carolyn Kissoon

even in the state that he is in right now he still taking taxpayers money..........

aite that was stale and uncalled for but still had to say it.....sorry......

[RASC]

I wanna see which democratic country you people are ready to move to.... Where the state DOES not cover the health situation if a former leader. Yeah I'll be waiting... So far looks like your only option is Antartica, but I'm sure you brainiacs could figure it out.


You guys are retards yes. Duh the state would have to pay.

[pugboy]

hey the man was not a former leader, he was an emperor

[trini mk5]

^^damn straight

[Team Loco]

he is a former prime minister. he deserves state funding. wishing him a successful recovery.

btw, allyuh coulda reserve a seat for panday on that air ambulance one time.

So even in the midst of all of this they trying to score political points ?

These PNM sycophants unbelievable.

[Dizzy28]

Being eligible and being deserving is two different things. He's eligible for state funding for foreign health expenses as an ex PM.....whether he deserves it is a next story.

This govt really dragged their feet, when they had the chance to prosecute Manning and Hart. All this time and yet the two of them were allowed to live their lives as normal, until we have reached this sad state of events. Now Manning has been reduced to this and justice and the truth will never be exposed.

Kamla what a waste. You completely blew your chance. It really begs the question as to whether or not the current administration actually DID have a hand in the kick backs received. The second half of the duo is loving life in Miami... We know where he is, yet NOTHING!

Watch and see, if Manning was to pass, it would only serve to galvanize the people around pnm. Mark my words. All this conspiracy talk about the protests, lets see how long they gonna continue drawing for that weak card...

[Habit7]

Now slight condolences and little jabs at Manning, are now turning into attacks at his character and performance.

Is that the purpose of this thread now?

[SR]

allyuh still miss somthing in all of this

mannings sister claims inferior drugs being adminsitered and fortunatly due to his past position he is affroded the luxury of treatment away


what about the rest of the population who are given these "inferior" drugs ....................


i keep saying it NO government is serious about health care in this country

plenty ancient policies that no one seems to be looking at when it comes to purchasing of drugs

cdap program while it has its good due to keeping costs down copies of drugs supplied cheaper are used
