This week, leading up to Doctors’ Day, we celebrate the extraordinary people behind the white coats. Their stories remind us that medicine is more than a profession—it’s service, sacrifice, and no ordinary job.

Professor Emeritus Sir Henry Fraser
When, as a teenager, inspired by the great Bajan, Dr. Harry Bayley, who reputedly saved my life when I was 9, I decided to be a doctor, I was morbidly afraid of both blood and injections. I therefore directed my goals towards research and teaching, although I finally overcame my youthful fears! But the result was the huge honour and privilege of building an amazing Chronic Disease Research Centre and a new Faculty of Medical Sciences in Barbados.

Reflecting on the international theme for Doctors’ Day, I appeal to us all to recognise our heroic caregivers, especially those caring for patients with dementia, and to exhort the government to work to strengthen the approach to providing better care and support for both the carers and the cared for. In response to our local theme, I exhort everyone in this age of fake news and distorted facts, now more than ever, to be sure of our facts, but to exercise patience with the gullible. More than ever, we must base medical care on evidence.

Dr. Trevor Shepherd

You’ve just graduated as doctor T
Years of pressure, nights of hard study
You’re full of diagnoses, bursting with solutions
Just waiting for patients to practice your options

First patient walks in, limping and pale
No problem you think, I will prevail
Presenting complaint, past history and all
You got it covered, you’re walking tall

You examine the tongue, you sound the chest
You take the pulse, brain working its best
Checking for murmurs and strange hidden signs
You’re even percussing the cervical spines

Then, exam done, you’re back in your chair
Patient sitting and waiting, feeling your fear
‘Cause, tell the truth, you ain’t got a clue
Seven years of cramming, and you feeling blue

Now, forty years later, you’ve learned how to listen
Books are okay and fancy papers may glisten
But hearing the patient, really hearing his story
Is far more rewarding than seeking for glory

So now you wait on the patient telling his tale
Watching, learning, no longer worrying to fail
Time has lent you patience, you’re no longer a snob
For the work of a healer is no ordinary job.

Dr.Kéo Forde-St.Hill - Consultant Psychiatrist/Psychiatric Hospital- Community Mental Health Services/1st Vice President, BAMP

The decision to go to medical school was not an easy one, and neither was the journey. Coming to the end of my studies, a Consultant told my group in the clinic that this profession is a noble one and not to let anyone tell us it was an ordinary job because it was not. There were a few specialities that I was interested in, and one of my mentors told me the reason I liked those particular ones was because I want to help people who are most vulnerable and cannot help themselves in their current situation. As a result, I went into the speciality of Psychiatry. I have had the privilege of caring for patients from very diverse backgrounds and have learnt a lot from them as well. So it may seem surprising to them that not only do I help them, but in many ways, they have helped me too. I do not take for granted the trust and respect that my patients and their families have in me to treat them, comfort them and answer questions at their most desperate and vulnerable times. When tragedy strikes in our line of work, we are not immune, and our emotions are challenged as well.
Working in the Community Mental Health Services, I get to see many aspects of my patients’ lives beyond just the clinic visit when my team does home visits. I see how my patients live, learn their heritage and become embraced in their communities. This allows me to treat the whole patient-biologically, psychologically and socially. Mental health promotion activities get us in touch with the average Barbadian and impart the importance of wellness and illness prevention.
We see you at your worst and are just as happy as you when we see you at your best. We are committed to the health of our nation, and we know this is no ordinary job.

Dr. Greg Padmore - General Surgeon, Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgeon, Surgical Oncologist

My career began with 5 years of medical school (2006-2011), internship at QEH (2011-2012) where I was awarded intern of the year, General Surgery residency training at QEH (2013-2018) followed by two subspecialty fellowship training at the University of Calgary, Alberta Canada in Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery (2020-2021) and Surgical Oncology (2021-2022).

Retrospectively, this 16 years of training has been one that has been quite challenging, but extremely rewarding. This has afforded me the opportunity to give back to my country in areas which are challenging but of great importance, such as colorectal cancer, liver tumours, breast cancer and pancreatic cancer, just to name a few.

Public education on screening, awareness of the incidence of cancers such as colorectal cancer and preventative strategies is one of my priorities. A career heavily dependent on multidisciplinary care from anaesthesia, medical and radiation oncology, pathology, palliative care physicians, rehab, gastroenterology, and interventional radiology, it clearly shows we all work better together to achieve a common goal for our patients who entrust their lives with us.

This is no ordinary job; it’s a passion and a selfless career dedicated to caring for others.
