So....I wanted to know what everyone's experiences were with these 2 entities. Is there one that is preferred over the other? If so, why? And is there only 1 doctor that performs the medicals in either place, or are there several & you get to choose?

I'd say it's where you live too, Mrs. P. A trip to Kingston from Mobay is usually not feasible for most.

Life's just a crazy ride on a run away train

You can't go back for what you've missed

So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right

You only get one trip

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast

You only get one trip

sorry you ladies had so many problems with the MoBay Hope center. A sailed through with no issues at all. Actually, I called and spoke to a very delightful woman beforehand...and she looked out for him...gave him a lecture about being good to me because I was special...she could tell. I know what YG went through...and that is really horrible...he should loose his license behind filing false records...what happened with you Ells?
