The PNCR members who are supporting Winston Murray’s bid to become the party’s presidential candidate are concerned about what they said is the mischaracterization of his condition in the media, and say he is not brain dead.
According to the release today from the members, “It is regrettable that some sections of the media have taken to referring to Mr. Winston Murray’s medical condition as ‘brain dead’. This description is not accurate. It rules out any possibility of improvement and surgery, however, small the window of opportunity. His medical condition continues to be closely monitored.”
The release said that after Sunday’s evaluation by Professor Ivor Crandon to determine the readiness for surgical intervention, it was concluded that there was no evidence of brain function and based upon this situation coupled with the patient’s unstable cardio-vascular state and blood chemistry he advised that a surgical intervention should not be performed.
The members of the group include Dr Richard Van West Charles, Kads Khan, Gillian Burton, Malcolm Parris, Ronald Austin, Mark Walkes, James Bond, Aubrey Norton, Mervyn Williams, Jeffrey Thomas, Priest Mwanza, Eugene Gilbert, Earl Lambert and Neville Calistro.
