My family took her to the Bartica Hospital, and a nurse there said they can’t do anything and that she has to go back to GPHC to see the doctor who looked at her there,” Leandrew stated.He said that his relatives subsequently took his partner to GPHC,Cheap China Jerseys, but were told that the doctor was on leave.

After she said she used Cytotec, we did an ultra sound and we found no retained product, so we treated her for Chikungunya because of the symptoms she was experiencing,” the doctor explained.He said that he subsequently transferred the woman to the GPHC for further medical attention.“GPHC was treating her for Chikungunya and not a botched abortion. I think this is a set-up, because her ‘child-father’ came to me and said he wanted $1M, and I refused to give him, because I know I didn’t do anything!” the doctor stated emphatically.
