Many of you do remember the popular radio program “Sharing Life Issues With Chaz-B”. A program which was hosted by Charles Bruce Chukwuma, popularly known as Chaz-B, who passed away last year November.

Now, there has been a shocking revelation as regards his death. Chaz-B ‘s wife, has pointed accusing fingers to the doctors of the St. Nicholas Hospital in Lagos, saying if they knew their jobs and handled it well, her husband would still be alive.

According to Sahara reporters, this was what Chaz-B’s wife had to say;

“My husband called me at about 6:40 AM, Friday the 21st of November 2014, from work. He asked me to come and pick him up because he was not feeling too good. I left with the driver to get him. When I got there, he was in obvious discomfort and he asked me to take him home. On our way home, I noticed that he was in severe pain, so I asked the driver to reverse the car and head instead to the hospital (St. Nicholas Hospital in Lagos).

On reaching there, we met Judith, the receptionist. I asked if there was a doctor around. This was around 7PM. She said yes and after some time we were asked to go into Room 2. Right there we met a young doctor called Dr. Ogidigben Kevwe. He asked a few questions that I answered while my husband was wallowing in pains. He (Dr. Kevwe) opened an emergency file because according to him, my husband’s file was locked up in Dr. Bamgboye’s office, and no one had access to that office. I told Dr. Kevwe that my husband had incisional hernia surgery done a few months back –August to be precise– at the same hospital, and it was performed by one Dr. Mohan an Indian man, and Dr. Balogun at St. Nicholas Hospital. He started to examine him. He then left us in his office and said he was coming back.

He came back after some minutes and said he was unable to reach Dr. Balogun from the reception, so I dialed Dr. Balogun with my husband’s phone and I and got through. At this point, I gave the phone to Dr. Kevwe, and he began explaining what he thought the problem was to Dr. Balogun. Dr. Balogun asked if my
husband was in pains, and Dr. Kevwe said yes. Dr. Kevwe told Dr. Balogun that he suspected
intestinal obstruction. Dr. Balogun asked if there
was any swelling around where the incision was
done, and Dr. Kevwe said no. He then asked if
there was any reddish sign around the same area,
and Dr. Kevwe said no. Dr. Kevwe suggested
giving him antibiotics, but Dr. Balogun said that
they had to be careful what they gave him, since
he was a post kidney transplant patient. Dr.
Balogun instructed them to give him a particular
injection twice to ease the pains, and he said that
they should observe him till the next morning. So I
left to go get him what he had asked for (his tea
and his stockings). On my way home around
Bonny Camp, I got a call from a strange number
and when I answered, it was Dr. Kevwe. He asked
me to turn back to come pick my husband up, and
I asked why.

He (Dr. Kevwe) said that my Husband was feeling
much better, and wants to go home. I asked the
driver to reverse and head back to the hospital.
On getting there, I went in and asked the Dr. again
why he wants me to take him home. He repeated
once again that he feels much better and I asked
Dr. Kevwe if he was asking me to take him home
because he thought he felt better or because the
hospital did not have a bed for him. I asked this
because the nurse had mentioned earlier that she
needed to check for bed space. Dr. Kevwe at this
point told me that my husband would be fine and
he asked me to take him home and bring him the
following morning. Meanwhile, before then, Dr.
Kewe wrote a prescription of drugs for my
husband which I took to the pharmacist and when
the lady there saw it, she asked which doctor I
saw. I told her that it was Dr. Kevwe. She moved
over to the other side and called the doctor’s
office. They both argued about the drug that he
wrote, and then she gave me just one tablet of
Exforge. When my husband got up from the
hospital bed, he staggered and I held him and
asked if he was fine. The doctor said that it was
the injection that was given to him and he would
be fine. So I took him home.

Just about 15minutes after we got home, my
husband said he felt like throwing up. I brought a
bowl to him and he vomited, after which he felt a
bit better. He slept for some time and then got up
in excruciating pain. Immediately I jumped into my
clothes and then called Dr. Balogun, to say that
we are on our way back to the hospital. He said
no problem, that a doctor will be waiting for me. I
asked him which doctor and he said the doctor is
their senior surgeon by the name Dr. Fadiran. Dr.
Balogun said that Dr. Fadiran was the doctor on
call. We got to the hospital in less than 20
minutes and my husband came down from the car
himself. He walked into the hospital by himself
before he was wheeled into the ER. Then came
Dr. Kevwe, and I asked him about the senior
surgeon. He told me that he would be coming
very soon. I wasn’t too happy with that, as I had
mentioned to Dr. Balogun that my husband was in
serious pains. I expected to see a consultant like
he said. Dr. Kevwe attempted to place him on an
IV drip and this took forever, as he was unable to
successfully find a vein while my husband
languished in pain.

My husband kept telling them (Dr. Kevwe and the
nurse) that he wants to throw up or use the
restroom, and he would be fine. He kept saying
that if he throws up he will be fine. Meanwhile,
Dr. Kevwe was taking instructions on the phone
from Dr. Fadiran. This was when I asked when the
Dr. would come. I kept asking, “when will the
doctor come?” And Dr. Kevwe said Dr. Fadiran
asked him to get my entire husband’s information.
Dr. Kevwe told me that they are waiting for the
Radiologist and the Anesthesiologist, and none of
these people showed up.

My husband kept on saying that he wants to
throw up. But then, Dr. Kevwe asked the nurse to
give him an injection, I asked what the injection
was for? And he said it will stop him from
vomiting. He became so uncomfortable and was
losing his breath. They put him on oxygen, but I
guess he was already choking.

Meanwhile, Kevwe was still taking instructions
from Dr. Fadiran on the phone. At this time, he
started gasping for air. Meanwhile, before then,
another doctor showed up. I don’t know his name,
but he’s average in height and dark complexioned.
He inserted a suction tube into his mouth, but I
guess he was two hours or more late with that.
Because if that was done when I brought him to
the hospital that morning, he would have been
here with me today.

If Dr. Fadiran were at the hospital, even after he
was told that it was an emergency; my husband
would have been here with me. If the
anesthesiologist was at the hospital, he probably
would have been here with me. If the radiologist
were around on that morning to at least see what
was happening inside of him, he probably would
have been here with me. If Dr. Kevwe knew exactly
what he was doing that morning without taking
instructions from Dr. Fadiran on the phone, with
an emergency case right in front of him, my
husband would have been here. My husband died
of total negligence on the part of St. Nicholas
Hospital, and I know it. As I mentioned earlier, the
doctor was 2 hours plus late with the suction,
because, at this time, the nurse was already
calling my husband’s name, shouting “Mr.
Charles, Mr. Charles!” He was given four
adrenaline injections. The drip wasn’t going at all,
all this while lest I forget. I watched my husband
struggled to breath. I watched him fight for his
life, and I was right there when he died. Even
though they were busy with CPR, I knew when he
passed on because immediately he stopped
struggling, fluid started gushing out of his mouth
and nose. I knew that was it. That was the same
fluid that was choking him. If there were a senior
consultant or surgeon at the hospital as at when I
brought him, he probably, would have been
helped. In between all this, Dr. Kevwe at a time
said to Dr. Fadiran on the phone that he should
come now as the patient is in a critical condition.
He said to the same Dr. Fadiran that 11 O’clock
might be too late. I brought my husband at about
6 AM to St. Nicholas Hospital and he died at
about 9.30AM without receiving prompt and
adequate care.

Human life cannot continue to be lost so cheaply
in Nigerian hospitals. People must be made to
account for their actions as professionals, hence I
have contacted my Lawyers to investigate the
cause of death. He has died with our dreams,
visions, aspirations, and planned future together.”

May his soul rest in peace. Just like Sly of Classic FM, both deaths were shockers for me.

So painful. . I feel her pain . Some NIGERIAN doctors re just demons .

The news of his death was something that up till today, I can't just believe it. Anytime I remember him, my normalcy is being lost. This was a great man that changed the lives of many (me inclusive). He was a man loved by all.

May his soul continue to rest in peace, Amen.

this is a clear case of negligence!

the action of these doctors reminds me of one person here on Nairaland dat claims to be a nurse - he openly confessed to watching a suspected gay die bc he hates gays. after reading his story, i cant help it but be suspicious of these doctors and nurses!

only heaven knws how many people they allowed to die maybe bc they dnt like their faces or maybe bc they felt they should be allowed to live!

How are we sure they didnt intentionally kill him bc they wnt his wife to be single again!

its only in Nigeria that so-called professionals get away with murder bc there is no active body put in place to check their excesses!

Madam pls sue them to highest heaven! if possible claim damages that after they finish paying, the useless mortuary called a hospital will be closed down for good!

so much evil people pretending to be angels!

So sad!

*wipes tears*




D worst pain anyone can av is loosing someone

Nigerian doctors are probably the worst in d world... Most of them have no compassion for human lives...

For one to study medicine, one motivating factor should be PASSION, doctors should know they dealing with human lives and it calls for extreme carefulness, atimes I do wonder, if they actually know what they are doing, its good to always question their prescriptions and google everything they say. Sick and tired of Nigerian doctors.
