We, the people of Trinidad and Tobago, are the sick man of the Caribbean. Our principal handicap to recovery is our doctors. Five years ago we called in a new team of local doctors to look after us. For five years they have neglected us; they have been too busy growing rich in private practice. and in having tea in the House of Commons, sightseeing in Scandinavia. and not sleeping a wink in Montevideo. Now they are afraid that we might call in another team more able and less expensive. So, aided and abetted by their foreign consultants, they have drugged us for eight months and brazenly threaten even now to extend the period of unconsciousness. It is the biggest fraud in the annals of political medicine in Trinidad and Tobago.
