Joanne Massiah ‘recovering well’ after emergency surgery
June 12, 2024
Following emergency surgery, political leader of the Democratic National Alliance (DNA) Joanne Massiah [56] is recovering well and remains hospitalised, according to sources. Sources say that the surgery to remove a blockage from within her body was successful and she is in good spirits. The operation was reportedly done last Saturday. Massiah, who is also an attorney-at-law, was apparently admitted to the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre on June 7 and an urgent appeal went out immediately for blood donations. The appeal went out via a letter dated June 7 and captioned “Medical Emergency” — from Legal Administrative Assistant Janet Peters at Massiah’s law office, George Solomon Chambers — which notified several officials within the legal fraternity of Massiah’s situation.

Haiti’s new prime minister, Garry Conille, was hospitalized late Saturday after suffering a reported respiratory emergency. The details on what led to the crisis remained scant. But a source familiar with the medical crisis confirmed to the Miami Herald that Conille, 58, was transported to a private hospital in Petionville in the capital where he was talking and his blood pressure had improved. Conille was tapped by Haiti’s presidential council late last month to lead the country’s new transitional government and arrived in Port-au-Prince from Miami a week ago.

June 13, 2024
British athlete Jessica Warner-Judd has been provisionally diagnosed with epilepsy after having a focal seizure during the 10,000m at the European Championships in Rome on Tuesday. The 29-year-old, who competed for GB at the Tokyo Olympics, withdrew with 600m remaining and, while being assessed in the medical centre, said she had a further seizure which led to her being sedated and spending the night in hospital. Judd, who also had a mid-race seizure in March, said she was “not sure what the future holds at the moment. It has been an incredibly tough couple of months,” she said. “I’m not sure what my year will look like but I’m eager not to let this stop me and be back running soon.”
Gee, I wonder what on earth could be responsible for this?!?
It’s almost always “sudden”, isn’t it?
Sad.
