BASSETERRE, St. Kitts, Sept 3, CMC – Prime Minister Dr. Terrance Drew Thursday said he remains in “good spirits” and is continuing to “getting fully active, fully conscious and in stable condition” as members of his medical team in the United States continue to evaluate his illness.
Prime Minister Drew, with tubes and plaster attached to his hands, in a five minute broadcast to the nation did not disclose the nature of his illness, but said that he had been treated first in the French island of Martinique and is now in South Florida.
Earlier media reports in Martinique had said that the prime minister had suffered a stroke, but that he is not expected to suffer lasting effect.
“ My wife and I travelled here on the advice of medical specialists in St. Kitts and Nevis as well as specialists in Martinique so that further investigations could be conducted. At this stage there is nothing alarming to report but the doctors are continuing their investigations and I believe it is important that they are allowed to be thorough,” said Prime Minister Drew, himself a medical practitioner.
He recalled that last Sunday he began experiencing persistent nausea which progressively developed into episodes of vomiting.
