Love it.

I have great respect for Orthopaedic surgeons....speaking from experience.

Congrats to Dr.Samantha Tross. These medical professionals abroad cannot work in Guyana under a brain drain management system. These people are much more advance to even think of serving Guyana. Look who we have as Minister of Health? Volda Lawrence, a quack and a racist pig.

 Dr. Samantha Tross: First Black Female Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon in the UK.

 

 

Dr. Samantha-Tross

Only 6% of all surgeons in the United Kingdom are female, and Dr. Samantha Tross is one of them. She’s the first Black British woman to become a consultant Orthopaedic surgeon. Samantha was born in Georgetown Guyana on June 30, 1968 to Sammy and Gwendolin Tross. The second of their four children, she went to St. Gabriel’s Primary School before her diplomat father was assigned to England and the family relocated.

Samantha obtained a Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery degree from University College London in 1992 and entered the male-dominated field of orthopaedic surgery. Her surgical training was obtained at a number of London Teaching hospitals including St George’s Hospital, The Royal London and Guys & St Thomas’s. She also received Fellowship training overseas at world renowned centers in Toronto, Canada and Sydney, Australia, gaining further experience in Primary and Revision Hip and Knee Replacement, Computer assisted Arthroplasty, Hip Resurfacing and Knee Arthroscopy.

Samantha’s practice reflects the skills gained in her general Orthopaedic training, where she has experience in diagnosing and implementing treatment on most Orthopaedic pathologies.  Her success is based on her high standard of providing excellent and efficient service for her patients at all times. She is a surgeon but a doctor foremost with a holistic approach to her patients.

Dr. Samantha Tross

Samantha is also an Associate Editor of the Journal of Medical Case Reports. She has been featured in the Black Britannea exhibition in the London Town Hall in May 2008 and in the Liverpool War Museum in August 2009.   She was also featured in the  “At Home with Dr. Hiliary Jones guide to choosing your Consultant” March 2009 and on the front cover of ‘The Vine magazine’, March 2009,  in their Celebrating Professional Women issue.Samantha is also a featured consultant on the Total Health website and was profiled in The Black Powerlist 2011 and 2012 by JP Morgan and voted one of the 100 most influential Black Britons.

Samantha’s biography is published in a hardcover book titled “Samantha Tross – Surgeon: Black Profiles” written by author Verna Allette Wilkins.

Congratulations Dr. Samantha Tross on your impressive accomplishments.  You Rock!

Well done, young lady.

Congrats Ms Tross.

Her hard work and success should serve to inspire our young people to work hard towards higher goals. You can make a difference in your life and the society as a whole if you work harder.

As with Ameela Singh who is mentioned in another thread.  Tremendous personal sacrifices  are made for a person to achieve higher educational standards.

Some people left Guyana to study medicine in England, but their dedication was lacking  and some ended up as homeless alcoholics on the streets of London, where two died.

Congratulations to these ladies.

About her being pretty. I don't give a shit about Nuff.

Is she single?

Leaving Guyana in 1968, that should make her about 50 years old. She aged good.

Guys, none of the two medical professionals are as young as you may be expected. I would have to accept that they are exceptionally beautiful and intelligent. From here on, you are totally responsible for your actions.

i wonder if she can operate on you change you from a ass to a donkey

I wish her well.

There are many persons of Guyanese heritage who achieved excellence in their respective fields of study. However this does nothing for the people of Guyana who continue to suffer under the leadership of jackass Granger. I doubt that Guyanese still in Guyana are sitting around feeling vast pride at the expats achievements, they are more concerned about the state of the country under jackass Granger.

 The fact that Guyanese can achieve so much outside of Guyana sadly reflects on the successive governments who drove them out in the first place. There was a massive brain drain during the PNC era, during PPP time this continued due to lack of opportunity but those leaving were mostly the uneducated like lilmohan et al.

There various levels of education, in the past, a high school diploma was sufficient to be regarded as educated.  Today a bachelors degree at an accredited university is at the lower cusp of being considered educated. A PHD is the upper limits. 

With regards to the PPP or PNC, both had/have their flaws, the PNC more so based on the massive brain drain that occurred under their watch.  The very nature of the Guyanese economy has much to do with the brain drain as it dictates the opportunities available. An agricultural/mining/lumber economy will not have sufficient opportunities for those with academic aspirations.

In fact the brain drain was just as high under the PPP, but interesting so was the flight of PPP supporters to cut cane in Barbados and St Kitts. And to scrub toilets in Trinidad.

Of note is the fact that East Berbice, the PPP homeland, saw its population decline by over 25% under the PPP.  Why?

I laugh when you pretend that a nation whose largest industry produces people who are waiters, hotel cleaners, taxi drivers, and hotel check in staff will offer more opportunities for educated people than one with a resource based economy. 

Druggie your excuses are deplorable.  There is way more scope for highly trained technicians in the natural resource based economies than in those based on tourism.

Using your criteria then the PPP is a colossal failure.  In 2012 less than 8% of Guyanese over age 15 had completed tertiary level education, and in fact only regions 4 and 10 had levels higher than that.  In the famous PPP stronghold, region 6, only 5% had tertiary level education.

Even if we add post secondary education which doesn't lead to a university degree less than 3% attained this, again with only regions 4 and 10 exceeding this.  

So less than 11% of Guyanese over 15 had completed any form of post secondary education.  Interesting to note that 16% of those in Region 10 had completed this, due to the high numbers involved in some sort of technical training.

Barbados had 17% with university degrees and 11% with other post secondary education. 

Meaning that just under 30% of all Barbadians have completed some form of post secondary education, vs. less than 11% of Guyanese.  Antigua, which does NOT have a university available to locals (it does have off shore medical schools for Americans), has 22% with some sort of post secondary education.

Note that the PPP had been in power for 20 years when the 2012 census had been completed.

And what is a lie.

1.  the East Berbice population did implode under the PPP.

2. Loads of PPP supporters did flee to cut cane in Barbados and in st Kitts. In 2005 the PPP was still in power and over 60% of the cane cutters on that island were Guyanese.  The same article that you cite also makes mention of it, but I note that you don't show it.  Even now in Barbados cane stays in the field unless PPP supporters cut it.

It seems that ever since you stopped wearing dhoti and singing bajans, you have become delusional. 

You really expect us to believe that a cane cutter, chainsaw operator, combine/tractor/dredge operator all should be educated people?

Do you even know how many UG grads are currently unemployed under jackass Granger? In fact Guyana has a glut of educated people with no jobs.

1. Incorrect about the reference to PPP.

2. Guyanese as a whole - from all ethnic backgrounds - indeed left Guyana for other parts of the world for various reasons.

3. The exchange of inhabitants from the islands to Guyana and Guyanese to the the islands existed for years and is nothing new.

4. Particularly from the 1930 many of the "Islanders" moved to MacKenzie where they were primarily employed at Demba, the bauxite company.

Face it your PPP reduced its own supporters to becoming the Mexicans of the Eastern Caribbean.  Doing "slave" work that the locals don't want to do.

Bookers used to have a whole school providing post secondary training that the MTA respects highly.  For that reason they also respect Trinidadians and Jamaicans whose skills were developed in the bauxite and oil industries.  

I can recall MTA having any respect for taxi drivers and bartenders.

I can see why Jagdeo destroyed Guysuco as he doesn't think that educated and skilled people are needed to build and maintain factories.  No wonder the Skeldon factory doesn't work!

Some one with only primary school education can be a taxi driver, landscaper, hotel cleaner, or bar tender. With basic high school education some one can function very well in a front office hotel position.

Druggie there is a reason why Linden traditionally had a higher % of people with post secondary education than elsewhere in Guyana, with only G/T having more. 

But you see the PPP doesn't respect this so squandered the opportunity to make Linden into an export processing zone. And don't scream that this isn't possible as other Caribbean countries with the same source of energy has Guyana has have succeeded in this.

 Daily I can see why you adore Jagdeo the fake doctor.

Do you even know how many UG grads are currently unemployed under jackass Granger? In fact Guyana has a glut of educated people with no jobs. 

These people were also unemployed under Jagdeo. Even as many fled to volcanic peaks and coral reefs.  There was a time not that long ago when most of the professionals at the Caribbean Development Bank were Guyanese.

Why don't you suggest that these unemployed grads find work in some hotel in St Lucia if you think that Guyana is uniquely unable to employ its educated people?

Here is the problem with Guyana. No one gets out of school knowing what to do.  They need further training and exposure under people with experience, but none of these remain in Guyana. They began to flee in 1962 and have been up until today.  They fled the PPP and also flee the PNC.  

Guyana has the most incompetent set of governments since then, which is why what should be the RICHEST country in the Caribbean only manages to beat Haiti.  And this will not change as folks like you worship Jagdeo. Not because he is any good, but because he is Indian.

As a result Guyana has a dearth of people with both education/training and experience so its economy remains backward. Its industries are uncompetitive as it doesn't have the people with the skills to reposition them. 

In fact there are a whole battery of people with advanced training in aspects of agriculture, some even Phds.  Please don't tell me that you think that Exxon has a bunch of illiterates.  In fact their operations will be Trini dominated with Guyanese confined to cooking food.  This because the Trinis have the education and the Guyanese lack it.

For natural resource based economies to compete they need to employ the most modern technologies and management systems. One cannot attain this with only a primary school level education.

But I see illiterates from China built the Skeldon factory, and we now see the results.

2. Guyanese as a whole - from all ethnic backgrounds 

PPP supporters fled a PPP government even though they remain loyal which is why my focus. In addition cane cutting isn't known to be an occupation with huge numbers of PNC supporters so we can easily guess who went to cut cane on those islands.

The big explosion of Guyanese migration to the Caribbean began after 2000. Now some Afro Guyanese went to those islands as their grandfathers came from their so qualified to become residents with an opportunity to acquire citizenship by descent. Yes the grand kids of the same people who mention.

Indo Guyanese obviously lack this opportunity except for Trinidad and Suriname.  They don't have relatives in Barbados, Grenada, or St Lucia, yet many are there.

I am glad that you point out that Islanders once came to Guyana and under the PPP huge numbers of Guyanese, including those with no ties to these islands, fled there.  In fact over 60% of the Guyanese living in Barbados arrived after 2000. 

Prior to this most Guyanese in Barbados were black, but after 2000 Indians began to outnumber them, raising the ire of many Bajans who were disgusted with the racist attitudes towards blacks many brought with them. Islanders from Nevis, Tortola, Grenada and elsewhere had made the same observation, and in fact it is said that the Antigua gov't deliberately made it difficult for Guyanese Indians out of the same belief, based upon complaints made by others.
