Haiti - Doctors at Hospital General Leave a Journalist to Die because they're on Stike

The Haitian media is pissed off after one of their own was left to die on the floor at Hospital General... Doctors were on strike and they wouldn't touch him...

KREYOL: Haiti - TOUT Jounalis Fache... Doktè Lopital General kite yon Jounalis MOURI atè a paske yo nan Grève... 2 heures de temps, misye rete ate lopital la, yo ma mande l kisa l pot pou vann jouk li mouri... Kisa ou panse de sa???

Jefferson Michel Casseus, a journalist for Haiti's National Television station TNH, was rushed to Hospital General in Port-au-Prince after he suffered severe trauma from a traffic accident.

Tamara Orion, a journalist for Radio Signal FM, was heated in her daily program Haiti Aujourd'hui.

How can these doctors let the journalist die when it is us they call when they are on strike and need the media to get their message across, Tamara wondered.

The doctor knew Jefferson was a journalist, she said, because there were other fellow journalist who accompanied him, including his information director.

"I would accept his death with an IV in his arms at least," Tamara said, "But for him to die on the floor after lying on the floor unattended for over two hours..."

What do you think about that?

Mesye dam fok nou gade ni aksyon an ni koz la. mwen dako ke dokte yo pat sipoze kite pesonn moun mouri pou mank de swen, a koz de seman e angajman ke yo te pran;men fok nou chache rasin pwoblem yo tou. si anpil nan dirijan ki ni nan leta oubyen nan sekte prive yo te ayisyen tout bon, yo te renmen peyi yo e yo tap fe travay yo jan yo te sipoze fel, Ayiti tap miyo, peye taks, peye anplwaye, respekte la lwa, sispan pran avantaj youn sou lot, investi nan elektrisite, sante, edikasyon, agrikilti mete moun nan pozisyon a koz de konpetans yo, pa paske yo se zanmiw oubyen ou vann yo yon pozisyon.

Je ne comprends pas pourquoi on insiste sur le fait que c'est un journaliste...Cela n'aurait pas dû arriver à qui que ce soit. Point! Qu'il s'agisse de Ti Mamoun, de Ti Joël ou de Jefferson ils doivent recevoir des soins.

Mes condoléances à la famille éplorée. Etant médecin, je ne peux que déplorer cet état de

We need a better country with more human beings.

These doctors are heartless, cold blooded murderers and inhuman.

Which I could revoke their licence and put them in jail for failing to provide care as they should.

They aren't doctors.

I'm not sure what they are

As a professional and a nurse educator, I strongly condemn the actions of these doctors.

They violated the Hyppocrates oath, which is sacred.

They should no longer practice
