Dear Editor,
I went to the West Demerara Regional Hospital just after 4 p.m with a patient [Mr.Nazir Ahamad] who was helpless and barely conscious. There were no porters to take him to the Emergency Department. Further enquiries yielded the fact that the hospital is short of porters. I had to take the patient in myself was told.
I struggled with the patient; the door entrance is very steep to push wheel chair on…I had to haul the wheelchair while the patient’s wife helped to keep patient in chair.
Just outside of Emergency Room is a cupboard standing in corner with lots of electrical cables loosely dangling all over the place overhead.
The emergency room was awfully hot; the doctor was sweating profusely as well as other staff members. There was no air conditioning; there was only one small solitary fan that was unsuccessfully trying to keep doctor cool when she sat at her table. There was no screen hence no privacy for the patients.
Mr. Ahamad was placed on a bed while the sun was caressing him brutally. Other patients were caressed likewise.
Nurses and doctor really nice people don’t want to give information because they will be victimised. The conditions they and the patients have to endure is totally inhumane, depressing and outright outrageous!!
The Emergency Department of this hospital leaves much to be desired. I believe there are other areas that are equally bad.
Latiff.
