After a series of tests on Opposition Leader Robert Corbin, his doctors have now determined what his ailment is and they have made a decision on what needs to be done, according to General Secretary of the PNCR Oscar Clarke.
Robert Corbin
While Clarke did not disclose what Corbin’s ailment is he said that the doctors will be doing what needs to be done today while adding that the opposition leader is not in a serious condition.
He said that Corbin was discharged from the cardiac hospital he was admitted to in New York but he was later admitted to another facility where a number of tests were done by doctors.
“The doctors have decided what they are going to do, they know what needs to be done,” Clarke told Stabroek News.
“I would think that whatever they are doing is not serious,” he commented.
And Corbin’s brother, Charles, told this newspaper when contacted that his brother is out of “crisis management” and that the doctors are continuing to “home in on what is the problem.”
“They have a fair idea as to what the problem is,” he said. He said he is expected to have a full report on his brother’s condition sometime today.
Corbin had driven himself to the Woodlands Hospital two Saturdays ago after he began experiencing chest pains.
He was transferred to the Caribbean Heart Institute (CHI) the same Saturday evening where he remained until he was air-dashed to the US. His wife, Carol, accompanied him.
It was initially thought that Corbin had suffered a heart attack but tests run by the hospital reportedly proved otherwise.
The PNCR in a brief statement on the day of the incident said that Corbin was hospitalised after complaining of feeling unwell.
Meanwhile, Clarke said that Corbin’s absence is not affecting the functioning of the party as its work goes on.
He said while there are things Corbin as leader would have done if he was there, the party is still functioning.
“Of course he would have had a role to play as leader of the party but we are getting on with much of the party work,” he said.
He confirmed that in Corbin’s absence, the party’s acting Chairpersons Basil Williams and Volda Lawrence would act as joint leaders.
what is there to run, a non-functioning organisation that has no goal or clear horizon.
the blind leading the blind.
freespeech ur comment provides a clear description of the present administration, a clueless bunch.
So why so secretive about his ailment, wouldn’t it be wise to share it with the public in case it happens to someone else they would know what’s the symptons are and seek treatment that may save their lives.
Amen-ra, this is simply another insult to the tax payers of Guyana.
Is it not our dollars paying his expenses?…………. So why all the stupid beating around the bush about his condition?
Ahhh grow up PNC!
Well said
I think its a political thing. Corbie don’t want his rivals to know his weakness, them might use it against him. ie. if its high blood pressure, President Bharat and company might do MORE things to stress him out and further raise eh heart rate…hehehe…..If its high blood sugar, dem might tell persons serving coffee at parliament building to sweeten Corbie’s brew with 1/2 lb sugar…heheheeee
question, how many guyanese know the symptons of an heart attack, how many knows the signs of diabetes, or prostate cancer. Many guyanese at home dies from ignorance not knowing the symptons of a serious illness, so in this vein i wish these people share with the public what the diagnoses are, which will leads to an educated population, forget about what jagdeo and his cohort may think it’s about saving a life.
why u all freting, the man get headache, and chest tingling. all u join in wishing he well nah.
ok how wimpy is this reporter to allow clarke to get away with this. He knows but wont tell you, while the tax payer foots the bill? This is the kind of total disrespect for the media. Could u imagine the new york times or any english newspaper running a story like this? please
I know no more substantively about Mr. Corbin’s condition after having read this article. I hope his recovery is speedier than this article is less informational.
Probably has a bad case of acid reflux – hope he is alright. Stress can kill, so time for him to start looking at his retirement.
poor journalism….didn’t the journalist learn not to repeat his/her self in one sentence?……Make a summery…..short and saucy PRACY (if spelt correctly) and then you keep repeating the old thing of how he drove himself to the hospital
BORING MAN REAL BORING!!!! no wonder NO COMMENTS UNTIL NOW
HAVE A NICE DAY
precis
We should know because it is our hard earned incomes which were taken from us by the State without our consent in the form of income taxes which is paying for his medical intervention.
I may be wrong but I don’t think that our tax dollars are paying for this.
Mr. Corbin should be contributing to and as such is entitled to benefits from the NIS. I think that is where the primary benefits would come from. The rest of it should come from his pockets!
Ankoko the Guy gov sey they footing the Bill.
Clarke while they are looking at corbin’s heart can we get his head checked up at the same time?
Lets do a complete review top to bottom maybe keep him under eval for another 3 years.
