It is amazing that people are still alive after visiting the hospital

Jun 18, 2012 Letters

Dear Editor,
I recently had to accompany a friend of mine to the much talked about GEORGETOWN PUBLIC HOSPITAL CORPORATION. She was in much pain. Due to some innovation, she was given attention promptly.
She was kept in for observation for a few hours and was given a form to take to the laboratory to have an ultra sound done to ascertain further diagnosis on her condition.
To our dismay, the date which she received to have this test done was August 21 2012. It is amazing that people are still alive after visiting the hospital. Does it make any sense to go to that hospital as an emergency case and expect to have a relief to your illness in a short time?
It is clear as crystal that the poor man just dies if money is not available to visit a private medical institution. Incidentally she had her symptoms diagnosed the next day through a private laboratory, not because she had the money (she had to seek assistance from kind friends). The results showed that there would be an imminent operation.
M. Ann Williams,
A Guyanese waiting to exhale
