MUMN publishes a nursing journal, Il- Musbieh. Some articles are in English.

I brought it to the attention of the committee to at least ask someone to proof-read and check the grammatical mistakes before printing.

It is better to write in Maltese if one cannot express himself well in English.

Paul Pace, please take note. Sometimes you are the laughing stock of the Nurses’ Union.

In reply to matthew. I think English is beyond the point here, what is more worrying is the content.

In reply to Alexander Ball. They will be soon handing out Brompton cocktails to the terminally ill.

This is exceptionally concerning, I cannot imagine the pain their loved ones are in.

It seems that competence in English is not a requirement for the nursing diploma/degree.

Mmm makes my heart bleed.

Wasn’t Paul Pace the man who issued a directive (one of a zillion) to nurses at Boffa Hospital to boycott a patient terminally ill with cancer?

Didnt seem bothered by patient safety then.

And finally that exhortation to nurses to think “for your own god”….presumably he means himself.

In reply to Alexander Ball. But when you then report the suicides, you're being insensitive.

I’m afraid I had to stop reading half way. The innumerable errors were too much to bear.

The only solution is to confer urgently the MD degree to John Dalli, send all the doctors and nurses on long vacations and leave Dr Dalli alone at the hospital.

Problem solved in one day, for sure.

Sink national entities, then privatise them. It’s an old strategy worthy of the British Conservatives.
