Almost six weeks after being rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) with a broken leg, a man is yet to have corrective surgery to the limb.
The life of Charles Flavius changed on November 28, 2018 after he was involved in a motorcycle accident along the East Bank Demerara roadway. Flavius, a father of three, suffered injuries to his right leg, just above his ankle. He was rushed immediately to the GPH and taken into the emergency area.
Flavius told Stabroek News yesterday that he knew his leg was broken because it was dangling and he could not stand. He added that he was in quite a bit of pain. Shortly after arriving in the emergency room, Flavius said, he was seen by a doctor who took blood samples, an x-ray of his leg and later informed him that they would have to put his foot in a cast.
