Cay Hill:--- The Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the St. Maarten Medical Center (SMMC) Clarence Richardson resigned from the Supervisory Board on Saturday. According to reliable sources, Clarence Richardson was given a consultancy position on October 10th, 2011 when he turned 70 years old. Sources close to the St. Maarten Medical Center said Richardson was collecting $1,500 per month before his 70th birthday, which was October 10th 2011. Richardson was supposed to resign on that same day and turn over the helm of the supervisory board to someone else since it is stipulated in the bylaws of the Supervisory Board of the St. Maarten Medical Center that board members cannot be older than 70 years old, but Richardson and the other members of the board found a loop hole by making Richardson a consultant as of October 10th, 2011. Sources close to the St. Maarten Medical Center said that Richardson's consultancy fees skyrocketed when he was appointed by the supervisory board as a consultant. Questions are now being raised if Richardson also submitted a check amounting to the monies he paid himself since October 10th, 2011 when he delivered his resignation letter to the remaining members of the supervisory board. "We want to know if Clarence Richardson will give back the monies he received illegally for almost one year. We are also questioning if the contracts and other commitments made by management and the supervisory board will be revoked by the new board because the board that Clarence Richardson headed was illegal."
SMN News also learnt that each member of the supervisory board of the St. Maarten Medical Center has to be approved by the government of St. Maarten but that did not happen over the years. The sources said government basically allowed the supervisory board to do what they wanted and did not supervise the institution. Medical staff at the St. Maarten Medical Center said that Richardson ran after pressure came from Inspector General Dr. Earl Best and government and it was clear that medical care at SMMC was in jeopardy because several persons lost their lives at the St. Maarten Medical Center over recent years. SMN News learnt that questions are also being raised about the liability the SMMC will be facing for the negligence that resulted in deaths of several people. According to reliable information reaching SMN News, the late Ruth Olivacce's family will be filing a claim for her wrongful death and already SZV has indicated that they will not be shouldering that expense. It should be noted that the doctor who operated on the late Ruth Olivacce last week to remove the catheter left the island the following day and the Inspector General is busy trying to locate the doctor in the Netherlands to interview him on how he managed to puncture two of the victim's main arteries.
SMN News has also been reliably informed that the medical and specialists committee that is scheduled to meet with parliament on September 3rd, 2012 already took an unanimous decision over the weekend to inform the supervisory board that they want the management of the SMMC to change forthwith because there is too much chaos at the St. Maarten Medical Center and if the situation continues Inspector General Dr. Earl Best will have no choice but to apply the law and call for the closure of the institution.
Some persons such as legal advisers have said that the Supervisory Board of the St. Maarten Medical Center has chosen to sell the Cay Hill pharmacy to one of the interested parties that are operating at the medical institution. A concerned onlooker said that the Cay Hill pharmacy was sold in June 2012 and if the "illegal" supervisory board committed such an act then government should revoke the contract and sale of the pharmacy.
The Parliament of St. Maarten is currently holding several hearings to determine their next step and course of action when it comes to the St. Maarten Medical Center.
I have blogged about all the illegal happenings going on t the SMMC under the management of Dr. Scot.
Dr. Scot doesn't care what is going on at the SMMC. His only concern is that he gets his big fat salary and travel allowance to travel to Holland about 5 times a year.
We all know that the board members are a bunch of money hungry **tches. They are like a bunch of prostitutes, will do anything and go along with Scot just to continue collecting the board members fees for doing absolutely nothing but help Scot cover up all their dirty deeds.
The SMMC needs to be cleaned up. Scot and all his cronies need to be fired. Every nurse, every doctor and the administration staff all know what is going on but they are cowards to stand up united and expose Scot.
Nurses that cannot speak Dutch or even proper English working without resident papers. Doctors that was banned from practicing in Holland and from where else they came from are administering to our local people that can't jump on a plane like the privilege and run to the US, Puerto Rico, Santo Domingo, Holland or where ever.
Scot's salary straight forward for years. Ask him to show you his pay slips over the last 5 years. He can't because he don't have none. His family is employed upstairs with him to cover up his dirty deeds and every body know that Scot lies like Judas with a smile on his face.
Scot laughing at all ya dam fools because for over 10 years he is fattening his wallet. He now have more money than Theo. And remember what he said to all you nurses some months back, no body can't move him from his position. He is so confident because he have a lot of rope on who put him there in the first place.
LEH ME TELL ALLYA THIS LIL INSIDE SCOOP. The selling of the pharmacy is true but don't put all the blame on the crooked board members, Scot was sitting at the table with all of them when the deal went down. You will be surprise to know who now owns the pharmacy.
Nurses, watch ya all mouth with Brunilda, Julian Lynch and Gregory Arrindell. Scot's secret puppets. How you all think he know so much after you nurses have your private meetings?
I moving to holland because the SMMC is a big crooked mess, I don't even trust my own to put a band aid on my toe. So glad to be out of that big shitty mess.
If NA/DP care about St. Maarten people and is not Scot suck a**es too, they better do something about that SMMC. A lot of skeletons in the SMMC closet. The shit going hit the fan soon.
