Deceased’s Relations Beat-up Nurse, For Administering "Wrong Medication" by Nobody: 4:00am On Nov 06, 2013
ADO EKITI— A staff nurse at the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital, Mrs Mary Akinniyi, was beaten to pulp by relations of a deceased patient for allegedly applying wrong medication.
The deceased, Mrs Beatrice Adepoju, who was said to be suffering from terminal liver ailment was said to have been kept at a faith-based home for months before she was brought to the hospital
The late Adepoju who was initially admitted at the Accident and Emergency unit of the hospital on Saturday eventually died on Sunday
Also, the hospital guard who would have rescued the assaulted nurse was allegedly attacked and flung to a nearby glass door which gave him some cuts.
However, the guard was said to have called for back up and it was the arrival of the other security men that saved the situation.
Intention was to kill the staff—CMD
Speaking in Ado Ekiti, yesterday, Acting Chief Medical Director of the hospital, Dr Kolawole Ogundipe, alleged that the nurse’s hands were held to the back by one of the enraged relations while another held her by the throat.
He said: “To us, this was not a reprimand by the relatives of the patient but a clear case of an attempt to kill an officer of the state in our employ.
“We are used to verbal attacks and other forms through which patients’ relatives react to the death of their loved ones. But this is different. The intention was to kill the staff on duty and that is the worrisome aspect of this, it was not to reprimand.”
Represented by Dr Kayode Ajite, the CMD said the patient was brought to the Accident and Emergency Ward (A&E) of the hospital where she was stabilised and subsequently taken to the Female Medical Ward on admission.
According to Ogundipe, “the patient’s condition deteriorated which made the nurse to request that the relations should get the necessary injectable that would keep the patient stable while they waited for the prescribed drugs.
“The patient in the process died and the ignorant relations thought it was the injection given by the nurse that caused the death, therefore transferred their emotion on her.
“Two daughters of the patient, who were at the scene, attacked our staff, held her hands, choked her and held her nostril. That was an intention to kill.”
Police are being partisan
The hospital management equally indicted the police for alleged covering up.
He said: “The police are being partisan in the matter and we do not feel comfortable with that.
“Our integrity is at stake and we want the police to investigate the matter and clear our name and we have called for autopsy to determine the actual cause of the patient’s death.

There is precedence, though i dont condone jungle justice or barbaric behavior of any kind but many of our doctors and nurses have been known to administer wrong drugs leading to fatalities. Ive personally lost a sibling in such a way.

That dia "faith based home" couldn't perform....

The title is misleading.The story shows something different.
Relatives can be unnecessarily aggressive when they lose a loved one and in their ignorance blame it on the medical personnel.Someone who has not been receiving treatment for a chronic liver ailment and they think it was the injection that killed her?I'm not saying there are not errors in medical practice but often times the agression is misplaced.
A patient's relative came with a gun to the hospital where i used to work recently to threaten the staff because the sister who had terminal cancer died.

Can they prove that it was the injection administered by the Nurse that killed the woman. If they were that good they should have kept her at home and treated her themselves. I see nothing wrong in relations being angry following the death of their family member but it's preposterous for them to want to kill a nurse for something they can't prove.

That's the problem,most people come to the teaching hospitals when conditions are already critical nd cannot be salvaged,or just to be managed,besides I have nt seen any CLD dat make it out alive or the rest of the terminal illneses.its unfortunate they vent their anger on the nurse,but I thought drugs have to be prescribed before the nurse can administer them in the teaching hospitals policy?

Its a case of assault against Nigerian health workers that's been condoned by the soceity for yrs finally reaching its peak.Health workers have suffered perpertual verbal assault @ the hands of Nigerians and physical assault like this isn't new.

The popular story of the nasarawa police shooting and beating drs who explained they had no space in their morgues and where told to invent space,forgetting they had full responsibilty to protect the bodies they had accepted in their custody,many cases abound of which I really don't care to go into.

Most health workers who have and care aboout dignity of self simply refuse to practice in Nigeria.If she administered wrong medication or not a panel should have been set up and investigated,the medical profession must rise to the responsibility of protecting its workers in the country by ensuring stringent standards and protocols for all matters arising with sanctions where necesary.
