Survivor Of Associated Airlines Crash To Have Her Fingers And Toes Cut Off by psalmdave(m): 11:27am On Oct 18, 2013 |
Unless the Federal Government urgently intervenes to fly Mrs Quinneth Owolabi abroad for treatment, she would have her toes and fingers amputated due to gangrene infection. Mrs Owolabi is a surviving cabin crew on the ill- fated Associated Airlines plane that crashed in Lagos two weeks ago. But for her husband's resistance, the amputation would have been done yesterday or today at Nigerian Air Force, NAF, base hospital in Ikeja, where she had been hospitalised since the crash. Mrs. Owolabi survived the crash alongside six others, although two of the survivors later died at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, LASUTH. The husband of the victim was making frantic efforts to reach the Federal Government for his wife to be flown abroad for treatment to stave off the amputation, especially as the government was said to be responsible for her treatment thus far. National President of Nigerian Airlines Cabin Crew Association, NACCA, Mr. Charles Onuoha, who confirmed the development, appealed to the Federal Government to urgently come to the rescue of the crash victim. According to him, Owolabi's 10 toes and the five fingers of the left hand have been marked for amputation because of the infection that had set in. He said: "We are calling for referral for overseas treatment, a post-trauma stress assessment and de-briefing for Mrs Quinneth Owolabi, and her colleague, Miss Toyin Samson, currently on admission at Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, LASUTH, Lagos. "We are appealing for government's intervention because that is the only thing that can stop this amputation." Onuoha also called on the Federal Government to beam its searchlight on the regulation of the aviation sector to stop the frequent crashes and deaths of cabin crew that had trailed the industry in the last 10 years. Onuoha said though Toyin Samson's case had been stabilised at LASUTH, she needed further medical attention overseas. He noted that post-trauma stress assessment and de-briefing were a necessity for crash and hijack victims, and lamented the attitude of the management of Associated Airlines to the plight of the two cabin crew since the crash. http://m.naij.com/news/49944.html |

They should try and do something about this, because when Feyi and his Inlaw's case were out of hand, they were flown Abroad. If the FG can't do something on that, Agagu's family should be able to help |
