United National Congress Political Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar is doing ’much better’ after falling and fracturing her left shoulder in Parliament in the Red House, Port of Spain, on Friday. Speaking with the Sunday Express via telephone, moments after leaving the St Clair Medical Complex yesterday, Persad-Bissessar said she fell directly on her left shoulder causing it to fracture. The Siparia MP added that she was told by doctors at the institution that she could either operate on the shoulder or go about the healing process the conservative way. ’I haven’t decided as yet,’ Persad-Bissessar said, adding that she did not suffer any injuries to her head as a result of the fall, and she was ’okay’ other than the fractured shoulder. UNC member and MP for Caroni East Dr Tim Gopeesingh, in an interview with TV6, said Persad-Bissessar may have to wear a sling for the next four to six weeks. He added that UNC members Jack Warner, Wade Mark and Chandresh Sharma visited the political leader last night. Gopeesingh added that Persad-Bissessar was looking forward to continuing her parliamentary duties. Persad-Bissessar tripped and fell on a railing during the tea break during the debate of the Prison (Amendment) Bill 2010 at the Red House. At the time of her fall, Persad-Bissessar was on her cellphone trying to organise a meeting with the Public Services Association (PSA) which she was supposed to chair. (Trinidad Express) |
