Beaten prisoner’s hospital chart disappears, found in guard’s bag

May 15, 2014 News

An investigation has been launched at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation into the disappearance of a patient’s medical chart on Tuesday.
This newspaper understands that the chart was found in the possession of a female security guard who was apparently trying to sneak it out of the hospital compound.
The chart in question related to beaten prisoner Calvin Bailey.
This newspaper understands that the chart was discovered missing when a doctor entered the ward to diagnose Bailey’s condition.
An alarm was raised and a lockdown of the ward was ordered.
Searches were carried out on some staff members and the missing chart was later found concealed in the guard’s bag.
Kaieteur News was initially informed that Bailey, who has since been discharged from hospital, had given the chart to the woman with instructions to get it to his lawyer.
He had apparently hoped to use it to support court action against prison officials who allegedly inflicted a severe beating on him after he set fire to his mattress in protest of his solitary confinement.
However, it turned out that it was another person who alerted the search party to the security guard.
He reportedly saw the woman remove the chart and hide it in a sheet of newspaper.
Immediately after the discovery of the chart the hospital authorities ordered that the police be summoned. They considered it theft of government property.
But the guard had already left the compound. She did not report for duty today.
Late yesterday, Chief Executive Officer, Michael Khan, said that the matter is in the hands of the police.
The guard was employed by a private security contractor.
