Friendship accident boy discharged from hospital

Accident victim Vishram Persaud was yesterday discharged from the Georgetown Public Hospital after three weeks there, two of which he remained unconscious.

The 12-year-old, who only opened his eyes last week, cannot remember his accident and his mother is worried.

Yesterday, Saymaa Persaud said she does not understand why her son was discharged since he still experiences dizziness whenever he tries to stand and has to be assisted around the house. “The doctor say he medication time over and that is why he was discharged,” the woman shared over the phone.

On November 8, Persaud was going to purchase a drink when he was hit by a car at a bridge on the Friendship public road some time between 4 pm and 5 pm. The driver was subsequently held and released on station bail.

Meanwhile, Persaud said she will be informing the police that her son has been discharged today but she worries what will happen to the matter since her son is asking her why he was in the hospital.
