Why wasn’t a swab test done earlier?
DEAR EDITOR,
Kaieteur News – I was surprised to read about the patient that died at Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation after being very sick in Woodlands Hospital for over 10 days. She died of COVID and her symptoms while at Woodlands were highly suggestive of COVID.
Apparently, Woodlands Hospital claims that she tested negative with their tests.
Did her physicians not think of doing a swab test on her?
Also, how good is their test? Has it been validated by running some patient’s tests who have tested positive with the swab test? In fact, an audit must be done on their test to see if anybody has tested positive on their test.
Lastly, they should refund the family for having misdiagnosed and mismanaged their patient. She may have lived if she had a timely diagnosis, which would have led to timely treatment.
