shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked OMG!!!!!!!

So the doctor didn't even see him today? Chai!

They seem not to realise that with each hour that passes his case is worsening. sorry all the faith pundits but I need to say this. The OP does not understand what faith is all about so we need to speak realistically now. How would u rate a hospital that does not have a doctor on call for 24hrs? a doctor that closes by 6pm with no substitute? so the OP has to "hold on" till tomorrow or even Thursday? So this hospital cannot differentiate between an emergency and one that isnt? I wish I had gone with the OP to that place. They would have known that naijadeyhia is in the house.

Dats naija for u.

U might think health is wealth, but not in Nigeria. If two pple don manage buy jeep dat means the whole country is wealthy.

Dat was wat killed my cousin's bf. He collapsed at work and went into a diabetic coma, he was rushed to specialist hospital in Benin and the immediately fixed a drip for him. With 4hrs he was dead . They later discovered he was given insulin overdose which killed him.

No enquiry was done, no questions asked, no compensation .

This is the singular reason i dont like going to the hospital. Because most hospital workers are supposed to be carpenters and bricklayers.

I repeat,only by a biopsy with result read under a microscope can one arrive at a definitive diagnosis
This is how how medicine is practiced stop telling me what you read off a book
Scans are diagnostic tests just like radiographs and blood work
They are not definitive.
Definitive diagnosis can only be made by histopathology



Sighs. I don't even know book cool


You are the one who left your medical ethics at the door to diagnose an online patient you have not seen nor examined, with Cirrhosis and end stage liver failure and has recommended liver transplantation...


Whereas the tests/scan/result, CEA, CA 19-9, etc, of the Clinician who examined the patient uploaded on this thread, so far, points to the Doctor investigating cancer as the underlying etiology of the diagnosis of malignant ascites he stated in his notes... And this is why the further scan is required to ascertain whether it's the Big C, and whether it is metastatic cancer or malignant hepatoma, and to find out its origin, stage, where it has spread to, etc...


And where have I ever stated a liver biopsy is redundant? Did I not ask Olu4life earlier on in this thread to find out how much it costs at LUTH!


I am tired of this coulda, woulda, shoulda argument. You win undecided All I said to you initially was you and naijadeyhey should keep asking the patient further questions about his symptoms, etc, biko before assuming the worst on his matter... Hopefully all this will be a FALSE positive and ALL the patient will only need is lactulose or milk of magnesium or probiotic and all will be well and he will be free to go home sad

As you are mixing prayers, be mixing money for him too. All these peeps that just pray and leave, do you know that even if it is hundred naira that you deposited in his account, it will go a long way to help raise more money?

So much has happened in the past few hours and also a number of misconceptions.

Seun . . . . . caracta and another nairalander confirmed the case. Caracta was there first and other nairalanders have also been to his home to visit him. Your FP header makes it look as if my mum was the only person who verifed the case, besides my mum is not a nairalander lol. . . . . Just to clear up that point.

As regards the situation of things as they stand now, like many I am not comfortable with DJ not being in a specialist unit at the very least & no proper diagnosis, but we have to understand that when people/famiies are under stress they sometimes make not too clever descsions, which someone not under stress will not take. They have a sick relative and they are trying everything within their own understanding to get help for him
Looking in from the outside, they havent chosen the best option, but to them they think they are doing the best for him.
At the very least the doctor should have been informed and waiting for them rather than the other way round.

Ideally, This whole effort should have been co-ordinated, and funds sent directly to the hospital that offers the best treatment, however unfortuantly due to the urgency of the situation and the lack of a dedicated team upfront on ground, this could not be achevied

However all is not lost and people can still "monitor", "support" and "advise" the family
Already I am sure that deep in them they know that their coming to Abeokuta and the doctor not even being able to see them today is not too good for DJ, however I pray for strenght for him and most importantly healing

I dont think its a good idea to bother the doctor, he is already busy from the sounds of it and disturbing him and pressurizing him wont help the situation. Our prayer is that God sends capable and competent people DJ's way.

GOOD MORNING NAIRALANDERS. I WENT TO SEE THE OP THIS MORNING AND THEY WERE PRAYING WITH ONE ALFA,I HAD TO LEAVE BUT CAME BACK 20MINS LATER,HAD ONE ON ONE TALK WITH THE FAMILY. THEY ARE ALL SET TO GO TO ABKUTA,WAITING FOR A TAXI THEY HAVE PAID TO COME.I MET THEIR ELDER BROTHER(SECOND CHILD IN THE FAMILY). HE SAID,THE REASON THEY OPTED FOR ABK IS because,THE HOSPITAL HAS TREATED SUCH CASES OF WHICH IS CONFIRMED BY FAMILY MEMBERS, BUT IF THEY GET THERE AND ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH IT,THEY WILL LEAVE FOR IBADAN STRAIGHT AWAY.
THE COMPLAIN HE HAS NOW IS FEELING PAINS ON HIS STOMACH AFTER EATING LIGHT FOOD.HE CAN STAND FOR A SHORT TIME AND HE CAN ALSO SIT
NO FEVER AND HE TALKS VERY WELL WHILE BREATHING HEAVILY.
THE FAMILY ARE VERY GRATEFUL FOR WHAT YOU ALL HAVE DONE FOR THEM.MOST ESPECIALLY HIS AGED FATHER SAID THAT I SHOULD THANK YOU ALL.
AS FOR THE MONEY,DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT because WHILE I WAS THERE I HAD THIS FEELING THAT THE ELDER BROTHER WILL NOT EVEN ALLOW HIS KID BRO TO SLEEP AWAY FROM THEM.
PLS LET US ALL PRAY FOR THEM.
PEACE
God bless you Jane...

It's unreasonable to expect every single cry for help thread to graze
the FP. These cases if and when alerted usually go through rigorous
verification process so as to protect funds donated as well as ensure
donations are used for the intended purpose.
Hindsight is very easy to stress but please let's apply some sort of
reason to the case at hand[/quote] but every tonto dike topic grace the FP.
Re: I Need Help by lookmangiw(m): 7:04pm On Nov 10, 2014
It still surprising to me that the OP and his family can be taking this risk. With the way he was begging why he was still in luth over funds, it was only when the funds starting coming in that his families decided not to go to LUTH again using the embarassment they went through as an excuse not to return there. No life is worth any embarrassment, everybody here knows that when it comes to chronic medical cases, LUTH is the first point of call in these country. My humble advice is that hamed and his families should do the needful as soon as possible and stop all this charade.

Can people know definitively what is being done before more money is sent?

When it is known what the family plans to do exactly and what the doctor is actually doing before sending any more money. I am saying this because people may get heartbroken if this hospital Abeokuta / Oyo turns out to be money down the drain and may negatively affect others who need help in the future.

People are contributing money and emotions. The initial request was for Luth and others suggested other good hospitals suddenly its a rural medicine specialist who obviously runs a one man show that is the option.

Please no more money, let us know what is being done, how much is needed and a way forward

Yes o. Even said its possible it extends till Thursday cos of the crowd there.
IMO we should bombard the doctor with calls so as to rush up his case. Or if anyone can help go see the doctor or got link there,would be helpful

Hmmm, who knows how many others on that queue are also having emergency situations, even more critical than the op. Bombarding the doctor with calls may not help his cause.

Please dont tell me.what to say. I have been a social worker for years, playing on peoples emotions is wrong because not everyone is strong. If you take your case to the public then be accountable to the public or else you ruin it for people who will need help in the future

This is not sentiments this is serious, see people investing their time, energy and travelling up and down to ensure the op gets what he needs treatment wise.
So tell me if all the money raised is spent in this rural clinic then when money finishes they say they cant handle it and send him back to juth will you go and beg these people to contribute again?

I wonder why They decided to take him to abeokuta of all places.

Just praying his condition doesn't worsen.

May God heal him.


Maybe they didn't know he'd get as much help and planned to work within realistic budget.

It is very clear dat majority of us are angry at the decision of the family. Please and please, those who can speak d language should call the elder brother and inform him of our displeasure. Tell them in clear terms to take him to UCH as was suggested. Based on this and further tests we can work on plan B if need be. #flydjtoindia. With the way things are unfolding, this anger will turn to loss of interest soon. Though i put him in prayers during this evening mass.
100k from me if it comes to plan B.
My last bullet as i watch from the sides.
