🌟 This Week’s Patriot: Dr. Goldenheart Perseverance

The Healer Who Never Bills Twice

Every week, Uncle Ramesh searches high and low for Guyanese who exemplify the True Patriot Spirit™ - that special combination of unwavering government support, photogenic community service, and the ability to appear at ribbon-cutting ceremonies on short notice.

What Makes a True Patriot?

Dr. Perseverance understands that being a Guyanese Patriot means more than just doing your job. It means:

✅ Always finding something positive to say about wait times

✅ Never questioning why the X-ray machine has been “coming next month” for three years

✅ Smiling in photos with visiting dignitaries even when you haven’t slept in 36 hours

✅ Believing that “challenges” are just “opportunities for growth and photo opportunities”

The Patriot’s Pledge

“I pledge to serve my country with dedication, to attend all functions when invited, to clap enthusiastically at announcements, and to never, ever ask where the budget went.”
