After fighting for his life at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), motorcyclist, Quincy Greene, 26, of 116 Sideline Dam, Mocha Arcadia succumbed to the Injuries he sustained in a smash up Sunday night.
He was involved in an accident in the vicinity of the Princess Hotel, Providence, East Bank Demerara.
According to reports Greene was struck off his motorcycle by a car allegedly driven by a doctor who remains unidentified.
Dexter Greene, the dead man’s brother, said that the anonymous doctor played a disappearing role on family members and the taxi driver who had initially taken the injured man to the GPHC.
Greene explained that when he saw the doctor at his brother’s hospital bed the night of the accident he had no idea that this was the person who was involved in the accident with his brother. He said that he asked the doctor what had happened to his brother as he was still trying to make sense of what had transpired but was greeted with silence.
It was not until the doctor disappeared that the taxi driver informed the family that his customer, the doctor, was the driver of the car that struck the motorcyclist.
He said that he was liming at a barber shop in Mocha when his brother joined him. After sometime of “chilling” he suggested that they leave for home because of work the following morning, but his brother opted to remain at the location a little longer.
He recalled that shortly after arriving home, a friend of his brother’s came to the house and broke the news of the accident. The family immediately rushed to the Diamond Diagnostic Centre where they saw their relative in a critical state. His condition was beyond what could be treated at the Diagnostic Centre. He was subsequently transferred to the GPHC.
At the GPHC, doctors informed the family that they had to pay for a head scan, which they did. The surviving brother said that the family arrived at the hospital sometime after 11:00 pm and left about 3:00 am and his brother who suffered severe head injuries was still in the Accident and Emergency (A&E) Ward waiting to be thoroughly attended to.
He said that about 5:00 o’clock yesterday morning, his mother was heard fretting about why Quincy was not taken to do the scan after so many hours. When the family arrived at the hospital they were told that they needed to pay an additional sum of money to have the scan done, which they once again did.
Yesterday at the GPHC, family members swarmed the GPHC compound just outside the A&E unit as doctors broke the news of the youth’s demise. Loud wails were heard as the mother and other relatives had to console each other.
Quincy Greene the second of five siblings is survived by his four siblings and parents.
