An Innocent Life Wasted By Negligence Of Eko Hospital

just saw your post and it brought tears to my eyes. hope the entire family is doing well, keep your heads up, she is with God.

i really feel the pain of the poster.
hes hurt, he's angry and no one can blame him for that.I think the major failure of medical practice in nigeria is failure to educate patients and their relatives fully about their conditions.
Did they explain the possible downsides of the mode of treatment to you/your family before commencement? did they commence with your permission?Did you sign any consent forms?
while not giving a justification for negligience, you'd note that patients need to be aware of their rights, to ask loads of questions from their doctors afterall its their health.
I was just like the poster when i lost my Mum at the lagos state general hospital ikeja years ago, i felt they didnt do enough( i was just in 1st year med school then, only after my 5th year in medschool did i really start understanding what happened then and finally release the 'evil' doctors from my heart.
they didnt carry us along with their treatment then.
what kind of kidney cancer did she have?did they tell you of the histologic finding? knowing the actual type will help you know the possible outcomes of management.
For all those running their mouths about doctors,
its easy to run your mouths about 'young' doctors, try doing their job and see how it goes, i can easily say bankers are theives,that will not only be a falacy, it will expose stupidity from unbelieveable depths of ignorance, because some bankers are frauds doesnt give me a right to denigrate the work they are doing.
the whole sector needs help, need funding and im still of the firm belief that any doctor found erring should be punished.
If you stiil want to pursue it, a court of law will take many years, its beter to report to the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria which has a disciplinary commitee in place.
if you are interested and feel you have a csae then email me at reindeer.antler@yahoo.com
i have contacts with some members of that committee and they will be more than willing to hear your case.
Pls take heart, but lets react from cogent reasoning and not emotions.
peace.

Web junior,
Though its almost a year now that you lost your little sister, I can not but cry out my eyes when I read your story today.
So painful my dear but take solace in the fact that she has gone for the best, to rest eternally.
I feel like rendering help but what can I do about it.
Be stronger than ever for the rest of your family members and in due course,
Sunshine will Illuminate your lives.

Accept my condolence.
