lawanson44: [b]Some folks here in Nigeria are blaming doctors for incompetency and other bladadash...Goldie's death was inevitable and there was nothing that the doctors would have done to save her even if it was in America. Goldie died of a medical case called Deep Vein Thrombosis or DVT. It usually occurs when there is a blood clot in the deep vein. That is why it is very important not to sit down for too long in a place without stretching and moving about esp in long-distance travels by air.It is presumptive for a doctor to annouce that the cause of death was pulmonary embolism without an autopsy. Apart from prolonged sitting in the long distance flight there are other risk factors for the development of deep venous thrombosis/pulmonary embolism like pregnancy, cancer, an hereditary blood clotting disorder, obesity, a family history of DVT, a history of smoking or use of contraceptive pills or hormone replacement therapy. It is unprofessional to release the cause of death to the public before a detailed case history is obtained, post mortem examination & investigations concluded. 1 Like |

stonebridge: Embolism is a blood clot that forms in any part of the body and travels anywhere in the body. If it travels to the brain undetected, it may cause seizure,stroke or instant death. Her one was pulmonary meaning that the clot lodged into her lungs and caused the damage. Sometimes the clot is more than one and they can only find out if they perform autopsy. That was what happened to Hilary Clinton late last year and that disease has been linked to flying for a prolonged period. Women are more susceptible to blood clot when they sit on a plane for a period of 6 hours or more. As someone who has had at least six episodes of pulmonary embolisms and one episode of Deep Vein Thrombosis, my heart goes out to this young woman and her loved ones. If there are going to be any prolonged travel it is advised to walk around every 2 hours and wear T.E.D. hose. I've been blessed by GOD to be able to tell my story. GOD enabled me to walk into the emergency room and get diagnosed. The scary part is when a P.E. occurs most of the time they are misdiagnosed because the symptoms are not always as one would expect. I could go on about this terrible ailment but know that it is through DIVINE intervention to survive. I thank GOD ALMIGHTY for having the right people, at the right place, at the right time for me. Thank YOU LORD in JESUS' name. 1 Like |

Good Girl: Good girl: much as I identify with ur viewpoint on the annoying habit of some people to deflect responsibility rather preferring superstition, it is ABSOLUTELY WRONG for you to say "Nigerians resort to juju"! Yes, some might, but as long as it hasn't been proven publicly dat Nigerians all do this, I think the wise option'd be to keep YOUR opinion direct at the particular people u want to address and NOT GENERALIZE.. |

richie-x: My boss always flew first class... At least I always got the invoice for his tickets. That SHIIT is so scary that I have made it a point of duty on all long distance flights to walk around that aircraft every 1 hour. I learnt from his case that that altitude pressure coupled with the sitting tends to affect circulation of blood quite badly. Luckily for my boss, he had good local doctors that were able to stabilise him just long enough for us to prep a medevac for him. My advice to all long distance flyers is always walk around and stretch your legs every hour at least on the flight. This phenomenon is a real secret killer. The first doctors that responded to him we're busy treating him for pneumonia.. |

jennykadry: Australia is like the "end of the world "so when I am travelling down to Nigeria I go prepared. I have seen some blacks wear expensive heels on air just to prove what in Nigeria? [size=13pt]Same here. I don't need to look cute on a plane. Usually I travel in sweatpants or jogging pants with slip on shoes. I carry change-over clothes in my carry-on and change once I arrive. I take flights seriously o. No way I'll sit cramped in there for hours, trying to look cute lol.[/size] |
