GA video of Hospital manager Martin Dultry at Grand Turk hospital details what his staff have been faced with during the previous three weeks of hurricanes. He speaks of his relief when British troops arrived on the island, and how he was brought to tears at the news that his wife (Hospital manager in Provodentiales, neighbouring island) was ok after hurricane Irma.
Grand Turk lost communications during the storm and the manager was unaware of his wifeÕs whereabouts and safety but Petty Officer Medical Assistant Matthew Rodway, having spoken with Karen the day before, passed on a photo and the words that Martin was longing to hear.
POMA ÔRoddersÕ Rodway and Leading Medical Assistant Baz Gorson deployed as medical support to troops working in the Caribbean in response to hurricanes Irma, Jose and Maria. They have also been key liaisons between the UK military, Local Emergency management department and medical facilities. At times their skills have been called upon to assist civilians suffering from injuries and illnesses.
