A week and two days ago, my friend and former schoolmate Nicole King was involved in a tragic car accident that has left her fighting for her life at the QEH. Amidst the genuinely concerned friends and fellow Barbadians who were worried about her well being and condition...they were a few bad apples who as in anything that deviates from the norm, tried to look for gossip and propaganda to fuel a fire that should have NEVER been started.
I would like each and everyone of you to place yourself in her shoes...in her mother's shoes...all you would want is a fair and fighting chance to be well and out of the hospital and as a mother for your daughter to be back to her old self again.
My advice therefore is to count the number of fingers pointing back at you when you waste time speculating on what would, could, should and didn't happen before that night...instead GO to the Blood Bank at the Sir Winston Scott Polyclinic and donate a pint of your blood, GET down on your knees and thank the Lord for being so good to you and ask him to keep Nicole in his arms on her journey back to health and be supportive to this young woman who has done nothing to deserve the situation which she is faced with!!!
The number at the Blood Bank is 429-4307...if need be call before you go to find out if you are eligible to donate. The following are some points which you should note:
You CANNOT give blood if:
· You had a TATTOO done within the last 12 months.
· You GAVE BIRTH within the last 6 months.
· You had a PIERCING done within the last 6 months.
· You have the COLD or FLU
· You are taking ANTI-BIOTICS
· You have an EXSISTING INFECTION
On that note...I would like to reiterate my initial point...don't believe everything you hear and stop speculating. Those things are minuscule at this time. The task at hand is to get Nicole through these hard times with the help, support and pray from everyone who knows about the situation.
