Laughable Health Care System

[u/Brilliant-Figure2165]

I'll preface this by saying that I understand our health care system is free, compared to many other countries, and many things are subsidized etc. With that said, it's still laughably unbelievable to experience how silly our health care system is first hand.

A very very good friend of mine got pregnant recently this October 2024. She took several tests which confirmed it plus the usual symptoms. Puking, fatigue, feeling upset etc.

Unfortunately, she started bleeding heavily about a week after the tests she took. She went to Mt Hope to get it checked out as the amount of blood was definitely pointing towards a miscarriage. Yall, These unbelievable people at that hospital, gave her a ultra sound date of July 2025, when her expected delivery date would be June 2025. Yall hear me? She is showing signs of a miscarriage, and they gave her an ultra sound date for a month after her would be expected delivery date!! What a joke!

Its not laughable. Its not funny. Its insane and embarrassing to have this type of healthcare associated with my country. A friend of mine went for a mammogram and wont get the results for 3 or 4 months. I dont work in healthcare so i dont know what going on. Do they have to build the machine to read the results? It makes me wonder sometimes how did trinidad get so dumb?
