The Port Mourant doctor who was under probe following a “wind” misdiagnosis, reportedly claimed during the investigation that the patient displayed no abnormal signs and had not complained of experiencing pain.
The investigation that was launched after a Corentyne resident diagnosed with wind pain at the Port Mourant Hospital had to undergo emergency intestinal surgery at the Georgetown Public Hospital the next day, has since been completed.
The patient, Oneil Jordan, 32, of Kiltairn Village, Corentyne was diagnosed with a Perforated Hollow Viscus (ruptured gastrointestinal wall) by doctors at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) on April 9.
Jordan is still hospitalised at the city hospital in a stable condition and relatives said that he underwent a second surgery. It was related that Jordan is only able to consume liquids at the moment.
