It was like she was paralyzed so I took her to the Bartica Hospital,Aleix Vidal Jersey,” the father of two said.He added that it was while going to the hospital, Kennedy confessed that she had an abortion.

At first she went in the ward and then they transferred her to the ICU (Intensive Care Unit).

He said even if I go to the papers, nothing will happen to him, and that me and my family will feel shame,” Leandrew said.Kennedy and her partner, Nathaniel Leandrew, in happier timesHe also said that the doctor even threatened him that if his relatives go to the Bartica Hospital for treatment, no one would attend to them, since everyone follows his orders.On November 1, last, Athina Kennedy was discharged from the GPHC after her condition improved.“I went back into the interior and after I left she got sick again. My family took her to the Bartica Hospital, and a nurse there said they can’t do anything and that she has to go back to GPHC to see the doctor who looked at her there,” Leandrew stated.He said that his relatives subsequently took his partner to GPHC,Cheap China Jerseys, but were told that the doctor was on leave. They gave her a date to return – February 10.“Athina went home back and her body started to swell, and she went back to Bartica Hospital and they said they can’t do anything, and that she has to wait on the date to go back to the GPHC,” Leandrew told this publication.He said that last Tuesday he returned from the interior and after seeing that a large portion of his partner’s body was swollen, he took her to the Bartica Hospital and demanded that they admit her.There, a doctor informed Kennedy’s relatives that her heart was “swollen”.“The doctor said that because her uterus was damaged,NFL Jerseys China, it infected her entire body and her heart,” Leandrew said.The mother of two subsequently passed away while receiving treatment.The woman’s husband hopes that he and his two children receive some form of justice for his partner’s untimely demise.“The doctor clearly said no one can do anything to him, and I lost her because of him.

After she said she used Cytotec, we did an ultra sound and we found no retained product, so we treated her for Chikungunya because of the symptoms she was experiencing,” the doctor explained.He said that he subsequently transferred the woman to the GPHC for further medical attention.“GPHC was treating her for Chikungunya and not a botched abortion. I think this is a set-up, because her ‘child-father’ came to me and said he wanted $1M, and I refused to give him, because I know I didn’t do anything!” the doctor stated emphatically. |
