Oct 08, 2011 News

 

Less than one week after the tragic accident at Airy Hall, Mahaicony, the survivors who were hospitalized at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) are on the road to recovery.
Kaieteur News understands that three of the five victims have already been discharged though they have been given dates to return for check-ups while the remaining two are showing improvements in their conditions.
Zahir Yassin, 13, had suffered a broken collar bone, fractures to his ribs and experienced problems breathing. He was discharged along with 11-year-old Fazil Ali, 11, and Shiraz Alli, 18, who was a patient of the High Dependency Unit (HDU).
Meanwhile, 10-year-old Sameer Shamsuddin of Cane Grove, East Coast Demerara, is still warded in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the GPHC. He is said to be in a semi-conscious state.
His father told this newspaper that his son, though not fully conscious, is responding to physical touches.
“When he gets a pinch on his hand you can see him reacting to the pain. He is responding slightly and his mother is happy now,” said the young boy’s father.
As for 34-year-old Asif Hack, the driver and owner of the vehicle involved in the accident, he is warded in the Male Surgical Ward and is also showing signs of improvement.
Hack sustained injuries to his neck and spine and already underwent surgery. His treatment is expected to be continued as his prognosis develops.
