Hours after being discharged, Sydney Kingston, the elderly man who was struck down by a speeding bus in East La Penitence, was yesterday re-admitted to the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) complaining of severe chest pain.
Kingston’s niece, Annie Thomas, told Stabroek News that as she was preparing to visit him at the hospital at about 4:30pm yesterday, her uncle arrived home in a taxi, saying he had been discharged.
He had been admitted as a patient to the facility in an unconscious state on Tuesday.
Thomas claimed that her uncle was given Panadol as medication and sent away by a hospital official before he turned up at her home, where he started crying out about excruciating pain. His chest was also swollen, the woman said.
Meanwhile, Kurtis George still remains in a coma in the High Dependency Unit (HDU) of the GPH. On Tuesday afternoon, at Houston Public road, George was struck down by a car, which was allegedly speeding at the time of the accident.
