Home News Stabbed woman claims Diamond Hospital refused to treat her
A woman who hails from Leopold Street, Georgetown, is claiming that she was refused medical treatment from the Diamond Diagnostic Centre after she turned up at the medical facility with a stab wound.
The woman, who goes by the name “Princess Wade” on Facebook, said on Wednesday evening she was stabbed in her face while trying to part a fight. She claimed that after the incident, she immediately made her way to the Diamond Hospital to receive medical treatment.
While there, she said she was put to wait for more than three hours in excruciating pain, and no one bothered to attend to her.
“It was 3 hours without treating me…when I go to ask the doctor when will he attend to me because I’m in pain he responded and said that I was not from Diamond I’m from Leopold and he have to treat the people that live in Diamond before me,” she said.
Wade said the statement made by the doctor was shocking to her because she went to the hospital with a stab wound.
“I saw people come after me and get looked after but I wait for 3 hours in pain and nothing was done to even stop the pain… to tip it off they collect all my info and still didn’t treat me,” she explained.
She said after waiting for hours with no medical treatment, she left the hospital and went home untreated.
“I came home without treatment, without the stab wound getting looked at, but far as I am concerned the doctors at the Diamond Hospital aren’t qualified. How are you gonna leave someone with a stab wound just because that person is not from Diamond.”
“But I’m a blessed child I still got looked after at another hospital and I’m still alive thank God but that doctor doesn’t have no mercy on humans. I was in so much pain and he sat there talking about blow is a must with the rest of his colleagues.”
“Before he does his job…he made me question myself to know if I’m not human,” the woman explained. Attempts to get a comment from a health official proved futile.
