False promises create the illusion of progress

Last week, I had the ho­n­our to share and con­nect with two good friends and fel­low schol­ars, Pro­fes­sor Yuri Clement, Deputy Dean at the Fac­ul­ty of Med­ical Sci­ences, UWI, and Dr Kirk Good­en, one of the lead urol­o­gists in the re­gion and part-time lec­tur­er at UWI. We shared at a men’s health sem­i­nar host­ed by the AE­BC group of church­es. A suc­cess­ful event in­deed. Hats off to my broth­er Mike Brad­shaw and the AE­BC men’s com­mit­tee for co­or­di­nat­ing and host­ing.
