He was told that his wife could not speak to him because she along with 10 others was bitten about the body by Africanised bees while working in the fields.“She told me that her mother was taken to Leonora Cottage Hospital where she was attended to and sent away although she received the most bee stings about the body… Hours after she went home they had to carry her back to the hospital, because she had a seizure.” Mr Greene explained.“Then we had to spend $38,000 to carry her to Woodlands Hospital for a CT scan on her head. When I called back Good Friday my step-daughter told me I had to come down, I came the following day and when I saw her she was disabled, she couldn’t speak,Asics Fuzex Rush Femme, she was wearing pampers.”Upon approaching the doctor at the hospital for a clear understanding of what the issue was,Asics Fuzex Rush Homme, Greene said the doctor related that his wife was being treated for hypertension.“My wife went in for bee stings,Babe Ruth Jersey, was being treated for high blood pressure, had a tube inserted into her in order to urine which gave her an infection causing her to wear pampers. Imagine the doctor isn’t telling me nothing about the bee stings which was the reason for her being admitted. All he was telling me is she has a slight stroke and she will be alright and would be able to walk when they discharge her.“I had faith and believed in what they said because that is their field, but look what happened.”Underscoring that he visited his wife three times a day along with his step-daughter, Greene said he desperately sought to understand what was really happening “but all they keep telling me is that everything is normal.”The woman’s daughter, Ashanna Greene,Asics Kayano 23 Homme, said that her mother was vomiting and defecating in a way which should have been glaring to medical personnel at the West Demerara Regional Hospital,Cheap NFL Gear, but instead,Soccer Jerseys Outlet, all the hospital staff said was that they were treating the woman for hypertension.According to relatives, it was because of being attacked by bees that the woman developed hypertension and eventually died. “Four bee stings are equal to a snake bite and its more than 40 stings she received and GuySuCo is behaving as if nothing happened; they didn’t even report the matter or highlight what happened. It appears as if this is being hidden although somebody died… They always have GuySuCo roundup on Channel 11 and they never saw it fit to make an announcement.”According to the post mortem result, Corinne Greene died as a result of Hypertensive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. This is a distinctive cardiac condition resulting from hypertension. |
