i really do not understand the press release by LUTH.

1- They said Mayowa is an old patient of theirs already on treatment for another ailment??

what i understood from this is that she was misdiagnosed and was treated for different ailment instead of cancer for a very long time.
The family discovered it was stage 4 cancer after getting diagnosis from another hospital.

2- This 31year-old lady came into the Private Wing of LUTH on Monday, 25th July, 2016 with a history and clinical features of an intra-abdominal mass. The family and the patient brought along some results of laboratory investigations ordered and done from outside LUTH.

They only knew she had cancer or "mass " after she was diagnosed by another hospital.

Why in the holy hell would the family continue treatment with luth if they weren't able to diagnose the right disease in the first instance?
Now they are saying they wanted to conduct another batch of test?? I believe this process will take another couple of months and its obvious every second is crucial for mayowa.

3- the family however requested to fly Miss Ahmed outside the country barely 24 hours after her admission in LUTH,
So, basically they have been treating her for a mis-dagnosed ailment for a long time and only admitted her after they came with test results from other hospitals.

Nigerian public hospitals are a disgrace.


Come on guys, let's be real here. Most of us will go above and beyond for the people we love. I wouldn't wait for any quack doctor in a public hospital to give me diagnosis before making my own moves.

I don't see any scam here.

banttieman:


Never will you find a quack doctor in LUTH. You will need them soon.

anselm791:
So linda was right afterall. Now that is investigative journalism, why she no go hammar?

Kennedymac:
yeye dey smell we go soon know who is to be blamed( and I know is not gonna be linda ikeji ) cuz from the onset she wanted the best for mayowa by using her platform to bring to the public mayowa's condition not like the agbero Stella dimokorkus who neither donated nor published mayowa's. health issue bt was so quick to judge someone who helped in her own little way



modified: linda ikeji never said mayowa's claim of ovarian cancer was a scam rather it came to their notice that some family members were trying to divert the money made for her treatment , toyin raised the alarm and linda notified the public we need to remove sentiments in our judging of this case the person who we ought to think about now is mayowa who needs medical care now nothing else .


the family keep saying toyin and Co wanted some percentage from the money donated Wat is the big deal in it, as long as u've gotten more than the money needed for her treatment I myself will gladly give u some percentage before u even ask of it as long as it doesn't cut through the estimated amount needed for her treatment cuz maybe witout ur help our plea won't have been heard a lot of people are in that condition with no body to hear their cries

sammhi:
Taking her to LUTh was the first mistake
LUTH is a death zone better at LASUTh than LUTh
So called private ward are just means of taking money into the pockets of LUth Mgt and the doctors
I can never refer anyone to LUtH so disgusting a place
The family is right by taking her outside and they better do fast
Toyin and Linda are frustrating the case and raising all these dusts because they felt cheated out . Period

desmond2pk:
So it was just 3 days ago they went to luth, to give the matter credibility

ephi123:


Which whistle?

If the family cherishes Mayowa's life, they had better make arrangements to take her out of LUTH the death trap asap. Just imagine the state of this nation, citizens can't get access to quality healthcare, na wa.

MOFAZIT:
where is the scam in this story....?? Do the family need any confirmation to fly their child abroad?

Chanchit:




Try read comprehensively, the disclaimer also never said she's going to die as reported, but its obvious the lady is in a bad shape, so I still believe it's not a scam.

Sheggy13:

Linda may mean well for her but she spoilt it all by lying in her blog that the doctors at LUTH said her condition is so critical that she has only few days left to live and would still die regardless of anywhere she's taken to, when in actual sense the doctors have just confirmed with this Press release that they're yet to ascertain her problem definitively.

rufdan:
That is how Asokoro general Hospital, Maitama general Hospital and gwagwalada teaching hospital could not diagnosis that my mum was having kidney problem for good three years . If, not for kings care hospital Wuse Zone 4.we all would thing she died of hypertension. Rip mum

ventilation:
If I get a copy of the bc I got about the sickness i'll post it here ,there's nowhere it's written that Luth refered her abroad.

Atimes it's good to withhold comments, especially when one is ignorant of the subject matter. We read your comment aloud in the hospital here, and people have been cracking their ribs. It obviously shows you know next to nothing about Medicare, and I advise you keep your mouth shut, and stop making yourself a laughing stock.
All the interpretations you gave to LUTH Press Release are warped.

This is what it means:

1. She's an old patient who came with another ailment means, she's a regular or known patient of the hospital who had been coming for certain treatments; but this time around she came with another complain of abdominal swelling. So, being an old patient does not mean she had been coming overtime and they have not been able to diagnose what's wrong with her.

2. That her family requested to fly her abroad does not mean her condition was wrongly diagnosed. LUTH is a tertiary institution. Most patients who come in are either referred from another secondary hospital or have been treated in another hospital, and might have undergone some laboratory investigations in those hospitals. And she might have been told she had cancer. But usually LUTH would insist on doing its own investigations to be pretty sure. The family might feel they already knew what was wrong with the patient, and hence requested to fly her abroad. This does not suggest incompetence on the part of LUTH. Patients have the right to request to be discharge from the hospital at any stage of their treatment, even against medical advice. That's why DAMA (Discharge Against Medical Advice) form is available in the hospitals. The patient or the informant would be asked to fill the form before such discharge is granted.
The patient in question had not even spent 48 hours in LUTH. Some of you come to the hospital, and tell doctor you have typhoid, and you expect him to commence treatment straightaway. Only quacks in chemist or drugstores do that.

3. That LUTH doctors are quacks is laughable!
It's obvious some of you out there don't even know what quack means.
No quack can work in LUTH or any teaching hospital.
Funny enough, when you even travel to abroad for treatment, you might be surprised that it's Nigeria-trained doctors who would attend to you.

4. If LUTH had not arrived at any diagnosis, and had not in any way indicated that the condition was life-threatening, i wonder why the hush hush for overseas treatment. I also wonder where the referral letter to overseas emanated from. This makes the whole issue suspicious.

Besides, why should a hospital disclose patient's case to the whole world?
Where is the doctor-patient confidentiality?
Bunch of quacks!!

realestniggah:
Linda was like "yay am going to burst this exclusive"

but It backfired right into her face

I hope she learn from this

Onegai:


I think the referral letter came from one of the hospitals who diagnosed the cancer. Though I'm confused: I thought I read a report that her sister said it was 3 consultants who studied her case and eventually started suspecting cancer and that happened at LUTH. But she's not been there long enough. I'm rather confused now. I believe what happened was that some medical person from one of the hospitals she went to, saw the online social media financial drive and contacted the people organising it that her case was actually very bad and probably not operable. So those organisers then felt the family was trying to scam the public by raising money for a case that was not going to end well, most likely. The public erred because they read the initial broadcast, didn't understand she had stage 4 cancer which had spread plus sickle cell anaemia and assumed all she needed was surgery and care to recover.

If I knew all those, I would pray for her but assume the worst. Sickle cell and cancer is like having a car accident and then having another car accident in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. Only God can help her and the family can do what they can, but truly this is not one of those issues throwing money at will solve.
