You are feeling better and okay does not mean you are now okay because so far so good the hospital is yet to get to the root of your sickness , I know u are tired but you should have exercise patience , going to the hospital from home shouldnt have being an option and I see no reason why tehn team allowed you. People are ready and are already footing the bills and by God grace will not stop till you get better

Have you for once considered the stress of coming from home regularly? Have you also considered the hold-up in lagos? Have you considered the stress of going round for further test? Have you considered the fact that once u are home people will surely come and visit and so deprive you of good sleep?

I have an elder brother that had almost thesame problem with u and despite the fact that the hospital (federal medical center) is just a stone throw to my house we still decided to leave him in the hospital , we spent lots of money , lots of test upon test was conducted and at the end he was fine and discharged , one of the result showed he had tb , drug was giving to him and the doctor ask him to use the drug for 6month , he did and by His grace he his totally okay now

We cannot know more than this doctors

Get well soon

Thank you for your well composed post. We totally agree with all you wrote and share same sentiments with you. But we decided to let him go home while paying close attention to him for the following reasons;

1. The doctors treating him have no objection to him being an out patient

2. In the light of many questions and suggestions here, we think it might be easier to have another doctor/consultant go through the test results we have and examine him for a second opinion. This we know they might not find easy to do if Ahmed is still on admission with the hospital treating him.

3. All in all, if we have any reason to send him back on admission we will do so promptly.

Thank you.

babyosisi:


Thanks for this response here
But please so I get something clear,how did this decision come about.
Who initiated it and what was the conversation?
Did they make him a follow up appointment( check up)
When and what for?
Is there a discharge plan and what is it?

OAM4J:


Ahmed initiated it, though we initially opposed it, we later took it up with the doctors treating him yesterday and this morning and they have no objection to it as long as he will be taking his medications promptly and come for his check up regularly. Ahmed agreed to those conditions and he was discharged today with his drugs and an appointment for a check up in few days.

babyosisi:


Thanks again
What did they say about the " elephant in the room" as busybody2 puts it?
Anything?

OAM4J:


We are yet to be briefed on that and on the test report they got yesterday, we are waiting to meet with their CMD later in the day to get the briefing and ask questions raised.

Well I totally agree with you on point 2 and 3 .my brother ,my fear is that of complications and I am talking from experience , after spending 31days in fmc my brother said he his okay and tired of the hospital and he which to go home , we ask the doctor and they said he his free to be coming from home , all of a suden my dad called and said capital NO they should not discharge him until he his totally okay , days later he develop some complications and we had to rush to call the doctor, thank God the doctor was close by but I pray djdola will not develop any complications

I love doctor giving time and chance to do their work

Thanks to the team

Let the brotherly love continue

babyosisi:


It bothers me that there was no opposition from the doctors about his returning home
Have they come to the end of what they are capable of doing? if not why wouldn't they insist on the laparoscopy they had earlier indicated and wait to interpret the result already in their hands ( according to our team) before discharging the patient.
If the answer is that this is now beyond them,why not tell the patient this since Nov 17 or thereabout when an abdominal scan showed a mass they confirmed a few days later was not in the colon.

aisha2:
Kai, Babyosisi I must commend you, you are very patient, even when there was temporary relief and people got excited throwing snide comments at you, you didnt fight back.
When the reality of what you have been saying is setting in now they are still making comments and making you out as satan because you are being realistic and seeing the real situation instead of what we would want it to be.

Now, as the test results are being awaited for a definate diagnosis we need to go back to square one that is raising funds to get him to travel if need be but we are not over 500k short and so we need to start raising funds again.

Lets try to listen and not get excited rejecting and rebuking, God works through doctors. Its because Babyosisi is a nairalander hence the "see finish" do you know how much we would have paid for this free consultancy she is giving? Even involving other doctors.

OAM4J:

What realities ma? What should we have listened to and treat without proper tests?
All the diagnosis that were being thrown up on Nairaland before tests were conducted have been ruled out. At least now we know his kidneys and liver are ok which was the reason people were suggesting we fly him to India and look for donors in the 1st place.
If we had listened without conducting these tests we would have wasted more money. The tests carried out are not conclusive yet but fact is progress have been made and we are closer to getting to exact problem than all the guess diagnosis we had on Nairaland before now.
We are dealing with someone's life here, we cannot run with guess diagnosis ma.

The way is what I suggested. TEHN needs a respectable doctor or 2 within its ranks to be on the ground to avoid these sorts of issues. It is simply capacity building to meet emerging challenges

Update from this morning post

We have been asking for steer on this case for a while.

Please practical steps are needed


Which way

We need clear steps forward on the following

1. A doctor on ground to help with making sense of all the tests n ask probing questions
This is pending

2.Hamed wants to become an outpatient..He has been discharged but will be an outpatient

3.further tests may be required to identify the primary source.

This is still pending

TEHN:

We are yet to be briefed on that and on the test report they got yesterday, we are waiting to meet with their CMD later in the day to get the briefing and ask questions raised. R231 will post an update when we have it.

babyosisi:


Thanks again.I really do appreciate all your efforts.
Eagerly waiting to read that report when posted

Can someone explain to me...how can medications be prescribed without a diagnosis? ...I hope he takes none. Bgusybody been talking a lot but nobody listening....just responding based on emotions. Like I said before....when the funds run dry the hospital would declare the tests are not conclusive. I am just sick and tired of DJ being exploited by this hospital and so many can't see it....30 plus days in a hospital and the problem can't be diagnosed? Even if it's a case of juju...within days any hospital worth its salt would declare treatment is beyond them and have the patient discharged...30 days and counting? DJ is not an invalid nor suffering from anything that should have had him as an inpatient ...maybe a few days max for tests and observation. But then why should they discharge him when he is a cash cow?.....to lose money through boarding and feeding? Now that he is discharged they will fill the boarding gap with medications....the billing shall never cease....talks about more unnecessary tests but no talks about results. Because they are doctors and we are not we cannot challenge their decisions? It is this same mentality that allow so called MOG to exploit the masses. I hail Hamed for discharging himself....it is the very reason he cried out for help and now is back to square one. I know he is grateful for the support...but then why should he be wasting away and be unnecessarily confined?...and I know his conscience is bothering him since he knows the contributors are being exploited...but it would come off as ungrateful for him to voice that opinion. His condition is not new....and like Busybody suggested earlier....help should be sought in the North. Sorry...but I do not have sugar to coat my thoughts. For so many that have sacrificed a lot for this cause....I am saying this so that your efforts shall not be in vain. "You can fool some of the people some of the time but you cannot fool all the people all the time".

That's the problem with these medical institutions.....some are like vampires....will bleed every kobo out of you then watch you in the eyes and say they have done all that is medically possible.

You have said sooo much but at the end of the day, nothing of value was added. What solutions are you proposing to all the highlighted issues? I couldn't find any. We need solutions at this point, the problems have long been identified. Thank you Sir!

Busybody2:



I "would" suggest, you kindly read between the lines, go through her previous posts on this issue before arriving at your own equally unhelpful conclusion, and if you still don't get her posts, remember it's a forum she posted on to express "her opinion". Not forcing you though, hence reason I used the word "would".
