A cruel twist of fate last month drastically altered the life of Padminie McRae forever when an accident at the Infectious Diseases Hospital forced the amputation of her left leg from above the knee, after she was mistakenly admitted as a positive COVID-19 patient.
“I am just depressed right now… it is because of the hospital negligence that make this happen to me… It is like I went in hell…,” a weeping McRae, 56, told Stabroek News yesterday, almost a month after she became an amputee.
“Right now, I am very emotional because I went in there with both feet and I come out back with one…,” she said as she continued to weep.
