…PNCR Parliamentarian’s wife says any decision to take him off life support will be a collective one
More of Winston Murray’s relatives are expected to arrive here during this week, and any decision to take him off the life support machine at the Georgetown Public Hospital will be a collective one, according to his wife, Mrs. Marva Murray.
She told the Guyana Chronicle yesterday that family members of the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) member are still arriving from overseas. “A few more are still to come and only my son Mark is here. His brother cannot be here,” Mrs. Murray said.
It is left up to family to make any further decisions after the neurosurgeon Dr. Ivor Crandon examined Murray and decided that no surgical intervention could be made at this time because of the state of his vital signs, including no responses from his brain.
Since last Thursday Murray has been lying unconscious in the Intensive Care Unit at the Georgetown Public Hospital, and his condition is still listed as critical, with poor prognosis.
A CT scan soon after his admission revealed that Murray had suffered severe hemorrhage in his brain. He also suffers from diabetes and hypertension.
The 69-year-old Member of Parliament was rushed to the Balwant Singh Hospital Thursday evening after he collapsed at Houston outside a lotto ticketing booth, on the way his home at Continental Park, East Bank Demerara.
