SIX days after a woman diagnosed with chronic renal failure plunged to her death from the third floor of the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH), another patient with end-stage kidney disease, accommodated on the floor just below, is no more.Thirty-eight-year-old Cyril Nurse of Linden, Region 10, passed away quietly on Wednesday night at the Male Ward which accommodates persons with kidney disease. Nurse, who was admitted to the Ward on the evening of Wednesday, January 21, died on Wednesday January 28, exactly one week after his admission. He died while waiting to be prepared for dialysis.

Nurse, who was walking when admitted to the institution, had become immobile and bedridden a few days later.
Ironically, patients in the Ward claim that on the night that Sheniza Farouk of 61 West Meten-Meer-Zorg, West Coast Demerara jumped off a window sill and plunged to her death, Nurse was also at a window in the Male Ward ‘taking breeze’.
