Blood bank machine out of order

Feb 16, 2014 News

A least three persons were sent away after they visited the Suddie Public Hospital with the intent of donating blood to an ailing patient.
Those persons were reportedly told that the machine that was instrumental for maintaining the temperature of the blood bank was ineffective.
According to information, a prominent businessman and a Manager attached to the Guyana Water Authority is urgently in need of units of blood prior to a heart surgery. It was also reported that the sick Manager has suffered a recent heart attack and has four blockages to his heart.
His condition has been described as critical and an operation is pending for the following week.
Prospective donors, including family members and friends, were told that the machine is currently not working and that the Hospital would be facilitating a technician from Georgetown to repair the machine, some time in the new week.
But reports are that the ailing Manager has already gotten a date to undergo surgery in Georgetown sometime in the new week.
Meanwhile, Regional councillors have expressed their disgust with the unbecoming attitudinal  behavior of some Doctors and Nurses at the Hospital.
Councillors are imploring medical practitioners to conduct themselves in a more sympathetic and mannerly way towards patients who visit the Hospital for treatment.
The word now is that by Monday the machine should be back in operation once a report is filtered to a technician at the Georgetown Public Hospital.
