Samuels Morris, the country’s latest novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) victim, was a diabetic who was “very ill” and was admitted to the public hospital in a “bad shape.”
In a telephone interview with Sunday Stabroek yesterday, his sister, Wendella Morris, explained that Samuel made several visits before he was admitted to the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH).
“He was just diabetic. Well I believe—it’s my opinion, I am not the doctor, I have been a nurse— but because of that, other things kicked in, because you know diabetes like friends. The kidneys, the heart and all those things. But then the COVID might have spiked those things also because the weakness…You know what his words to me were? ‘In all my life I never felt like this…’ He was sick, he was very ill, very ill-looking. He was admitted to hospital in bad shape,” Wendella said.
