farouqzaib: @knotty Nice report, you remind me of Teju Cole, a US based Nigerian writer. He reports news that way also, using metaphors( I don't even know which is which) and all that.
As for the news, sad story. I hope justice is served and RIP to those who (lemme try my own Teju Cole) bought a one way ticket to the great beyond.
NOTICE: To trolls, I mean no disrespect, really sorry about those who died.

OK/2/NV:
Grew up in Apapa. Is that whare house for whores still in existence?

nanoken: lord have mercy......alomo+natus+igbo+dumb policemen = 2 deaths

knotty: If the story had ended there, sad as it would have been, not much lessons would have been learnt.

[b]LAGOON HOSPITAL

The other person that died was someone I knew passingly.
He was hit on the back and did not die on the spot. He held on to life, as though his life depended on it, of course, it did.

His friends around were able to spirit him to LAGOON HOSPITAL, a distance of 500meters away. Seeing his condition, the hospital hurriedly admitted and put him on oxygen. His friends at this point were relieved and in high spirit that JAGABAN was going to pull through, once again. They never knew LAGOON HOSPITAL takes care of the bare necessities and not a penny more, not a penny less.

The hope of survival dimmed when in no time LAGOON HOSPTITAL flashed a deposit bill of 1.3m on the friends, on a Sunday morning. The terse message was pay this deposit before further treatment can be administered. In a cashless Lagos, and on a Sunday how were they, in Jove,s name, going to raise that kind of money.
Well, they scurried hither thither and raised 800,000 which was paid to the Hospital. That money did not touch the right cord, it did not melt their hardened heart. All or nothing was their stance.

The friends were still running from pillar to post to raise the balance 500,000 when the man died at 6pm right in the hospital without receiving Panadol Extra.
When the family members requested that the deposited 800,000 should be returned since they did not provide any treatment, LAGOON HOSPITAL reminded them that on the receipt issued to them is a clause: ANY MONEY PAID TO THIS HOSPITAL IS NON-REFUNDABLE.
Dem no get cutlass ni ?

One4me: i think those sa
l think those same MOPOLS should be re-armed, given double-dose of Alomo+Paragah and let loose within that Hospital, especially around the Doctors Rest areas!
Dont know who is a worse criminal, btween the 'stoned' Mopols and the heartless Doctors!

Mutherfuckers!

obviously think wt yr a$$, and know next to nothing about insurance scheme.
The hospital is run by administrators who employ doctors and allied workers.
The patient was stabilized way past d 1st golden hour of severe trauma and eventually died. The required surgical fees could hav been guaranteed by d patint's insurance cover or the usual out-of-pocket payment routine in 9ja.

I'm very sure the doctors themselves cannot afford d fees and would hav suffered d same fate and tragedy.
Do u expect him or her to use is minimum wage to foot d bill ?. And u come here to rant and vomit rubbish and display ignorance. eediot

As for d 800k, how much do u think is d cost of life-support machine, ct scan , mri investigations done on the deceased? I really don't know and i think d friends shud find out and reconcile wt d accounts dept.for necessary refund later.

Another option available was Gov Fashola's Hospitals who cud hav operated for less than 200,000 but alas he already sacked d doctors.
I hope d drunk mopol were let loose on yr a$4$hole.

Beaf: God! Death, just like that?!
Left to me, 90% of the police force would be lined up and shot.

Temistatics 007: Your statement is contradictory,the victims family were able to raise 800000 out of the 1.3m,but the hospital asked for full payment,they were still hustling for the remaining 500000 when the victim died,(MEANING:THE 800000 WAS STILL WITH THEM SINCE THE HOSPITAL WANTS A COMPLETE FEE OF 1.3M)SO HOW IS THE HOSPITAL GOING TO RETURN A MONEY THEY DID NOT COLLECT)I STAND TO BE CORRECTED,TO THE DISEASED,RIP.

ilugunboy: Lagoon Hospital that I know very well will not take a penny less than the required deposit.

They must have insist on the full deposit or NOTHING!

texazzpete:

Why are you so ignorant?!

As someone said, it's the hospital adminstrator or owner that charts such rules, not the doctors who are mere employees on a barely adequate salary. I know its fashionable to hate on doctors these days...but still!
