Dear Editor,

This letter is about a gift of life given to my family by the doctors (private and government), nurses at the Rand ICU and the remarkable EMS in Freeport.

Over the years, people have been heard to say: "don't get sick in Freeport"; "medical care in Freeport is non-existent". For the most part, this is from foreigners, ex-pats and, yes, sometimes Bahamians.

My mother came to Grand Bahama Island several weeks ago to spend the holidays with her family. We were so pleased that this healthy 93 year old woman would fly here from New York City to spend this time...
