Anthony says GPH has to answer for woman’s amputation after COVID hospital accident

Padminie McRae

Minister of Health Dr. Frank Anthony yesterday directed all questions in the case of the woman who had a leg amputated following an accident during her hospitalisation to the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH), while questioning why she and her family spoke to the media about what occurred.

Fifty-six-year-old Padminie Mc Rae’s left leg from above the knee was amputated last month following an accident in the Infectious Diseases Hospital’s transition ward at Liliendaal, as she grabbed on to an oxygen tank in an effort to break a fall that occurred when she attempted to retrieve some of her personal items from the floor.
