TEEN GIVEN WRONG SURGERY

A mother and her teenaged son plan to file a lawsuit against the South West Regional Health Authority after an alleged mix-up of similar names, led to the child being given the wrong medical procedure at the San Fernando General Hospital last year.


The family is being represented by Attorneys-at-Law Prakash Ramadhar and Ted Roopnarine, who during a press conference at their San Fernando office Wednesday morning called the incident a cataclysmic failure.
