There is so much deceit and insincerity in this COVID 19 palaver.

This pandemic has exposed our unpreparedness to manage emergency situations, the government and health workers in government hospital are culpable. My experience in the hands of the public health workers is a bitter experience I don't pray to encounter again.

I do experience some occasional respiratory discomfort and mild chest pains especially when I'm indoors. This illness started 5years ago when I was a student at Unilag. I went to the school's Health centre and got better . No test or CXR was ever done.
I use ventolin inhaler on my own each time I have the episode which may not come for a year.

I called a relative who is a doctor 2 weeks ago because I needed his opinion with the complaints. He directed me to the Ikorodu General Hospital for proper evaluation. At the hospital I was nonchalantly and unprofessionally treated. Without any examination or simple auscultation of my chest they had already condemned me as a COVID 19 patient giving me a list of drugs to buy:
hydroxylchoroquine, vit.C, Zinc tab. , Cefuroxime, which are drugs they use in isolation centres in Lagos. Thereafter, I was refereed to LUTH for COVID 19 screening.
Meanwhile, I had no fever, no cough, no itchy throat, no sneezing, no weakness. At LUTH I was tossed up and down for 2 days and then sent to IDH in Yaba. My experience at IDH was worse than what happened at Ikorodu and LUTH. I saw a lot of very sick patients sent away on the excuse that they are out of testing materials. After another 3 days I was again referred to NIMR where the samples were to be obtained. After 2 days at the NIMR I was directed to go and generate some information electronically before they could obtain my swab specimen.

After several times I couldn't succeed and was told that there were no materials for the tests as they were expecting some from the NCDC.
At this stage I gave up the quest and went back to my family in Ikorodu.

Aftermath of my experience, my doctor whom I earlier contacted asked me to do a CXR ,ECG and other basic tests.

In the meantime, he prescribe these drug which I'm taking and there is much improvement as I'm doing very well.

salbutamol, prednisone, paracetamol

Hopefully I will come for a review when my results are ready.

This narrative is to highlight the decay in our healthcare system.

Everyday they continue to churn out statistics of how many they have cured, discharged etc. It is a charade.
If I really had CORONAVIRUS I would be dead by now. Why can't doctors do normal or basic examinations again.?

There is a need for total rebirth, attitudinal change in the way we do things.

Most nations aren't prepared but ours is a little bit peculiar.

you are very lucky bro. A friend of mine with a little bit of asthmatic issues (episodes) long before COVID-19 died as a result of this nonchalant attitude of health workers, stigmatisation based on their prejudice, foolishness, and inability to conduct and treat basic human illness as common as headache. He died right there in an hospital where they refused to attend to him on time.

All he complained of was shortness of breath and how he managed to take himself there was a wonder, and a simple inhaler could have saved his life.

I was very angry when I heard the news because we grew up together and he was planning his wedding soon sef. We are far from each other now (different state) and I really wish I was there for him that day
