Guyanese doctor Lyndon Lord who was shot in Jamaica on Friday is in a stable condition and according to reports from the island he had been receiving threats.
Lord was shot in Mandeville and the Jamaica Gleaner today said that it had been reported that Lord had received threats to his life.
He was pounced on by armed men who shot him in the head as he reached his house in Ingleside, Mandeville, just after 7 p.m. He was taken to the Mandeville Hospital then airlifted to Kingston. Subsequent checks revealed that Lord was conscious and in a stable condition.
Meanwhile, the Mandeville medical fraternity has expressed shock at the shooting of their colleague.
“We are bothered by (attacks) all around but when it gets so close it is disturbing,” said Dr Clifton Reid, general practitioner at the Hargreaves Memorial Hospital.
Lord works at the Mandeville Regional Hospital and has a private practice at Grove Court in Mandeville.
