      What do you mean by "deeds" days? Surely you must be talking about "these" days. Man, our education system failing big time. Myron, you got your work cut out for you. Forget about teaching financial services. We need to teach ABC's.

          All over the world, people learn to speak and write standard English. In our own communities, we use our dialect. But when we write, we must do better, and not write as if we are an escaped mental patient who is nervously scribbling on a piece of paper. It is shameful that you would defend and condone such horrible writing.

    This is a sad case keep happening and the health service authority knows there are a lot of issues need addressing. Just a few months ago, one of these mentally challenge patient beat up a Nurse. No Joke. I donot know why the hospital continue to house these type of patients along with regular patients. Furthermore, until someone get hurt seriously, the government will start to get their act together.

    Quite interesting that a mentally ill could make such a daring escape. What's even more interesting is how such entrance and departure medical protocols that should have been in place could have been breached when in most mental institutions, to leave such an environment requires at least passing through coded doors- 3 or 4 for the public much less the insane. Ronnie, this whole matter presents such an urgency as to why the new hospital should be in it's finishing stages, sooner rather than later. Thankfully, his presence did not present a matter of criminal urgency to the public!

    this hospital always in the news in a negative light..with this latest incident it's obvious to me and I am sure others that the hospital is ill-equipped to handle these types of patients....now we will see some silly press release from the authority denying the facts and blaming the media

    This aint the same mental patient that was back and forth inside outside yesterday at the hospital. A big dude. I saw him doing sit ups...then he was seepsing me telling me come. If he mental he was to be in a room under lock and key or under proper survelience/guard. We need to step up a notch in dealing with these kind of matters. Hon Skelton you got your work cut out there.

    This current hospital is not at all equipped to deal with mental ill patients. I do hope there is a wing in the new hopsital for these sort of patients. I am so tired of these people escaping and I am tired of seeing eggy on the road with heavy objects in his and and searching through the trash bins.

    This man is my brother. I know him to be a kind and gentle and generous man when he is well. Right now his is sick and struggling. He has not been known to try to harm anyone else, only himself. I and my family are eternally grateful to the caring and capable hospital staff in whose hands we entrust him. They all stepped up to help when my family felt hopeless. We know my brother's condition presents a challenge to the staff and we are grateful they are there doing their best to offer him an opportunity to get well so he can join us again.
