Corruption is gradually finding its way into the medical sector. Very soon we may need our relations to witness operations. A woman may go for CS & the doctor will remove one of her kidneys or liver & sew her up since there is no one observing the process.

You are spot on!!!!! Nigerians look for ways to eat their cake and have it. If his wife was not admitted, he would come and say they(the hospital) let his wife die.

Obstructed labour if poorly managed can lead to complications and the director clearly stated the rationale behind their actions. The hospital should counter sue.

All those blaming Nigerian doctors are fools.

I may not be a doctor but I know that the womb might have been ruptured in an attempt to deliver the child through the vaginal & avoid high cost. The damage might have been done ab initio and Chinedu is only crying foul for no cogent reason

The hospital saved the woman's life.In such a situation,most likely Severe post partum haemorrhage secondary to uterine rupture following prolonged obstructed labour,fast decision making intra operatively is very crucial.There is no time to dilly dally,but its sure the husband was told the situation of things.He probably agreed and signed under tension,but he later realized his wife would be without womb so he sparked after getting his wife back alive.A wife without womb(with children) is better than a dead wife with womb.About the bladder,its very common to have bladder affectation from prolonged obstructed labour,urethral catheter must be in situ for at least 10days to prevent vesicovaginal fistula(a very common condition in the north where teenage girls with underdeveloped pelvis get pregnant) I have Seen a doctor who donated blood to a patient to save his life but stl later got labelled bad.I personally have donated too,thank God they were appreciative.people who dont knw the ethics of medical practice will start blaming the doctors here.

wow!!!!

The treatment for a ruptured uterus( womb )during labour is removal(Hysterectomy)period.Its an emergency procedure that requires huge blood transfusion and we even use the blood lost by the patient to commence initial transfusion(Autologous transfusion).The family should be grateful to God the hospital was able to save her life.Many hospitals in naija don't have skilled professionals or facilities to carry it out.In this case,communication may have been a problem.One of the doctors should have explained to the husband when they realised that the uterus was ruptured and the nature of the surgery.The woman has five children now so they should be good at least her ovaries are still intact and will not suffer symptoms of early menopause.

I agree with you. But the charges should be pressed against the management of the first local clinic that mismanaged his wifes case. Am sure by applying fundal pressure during the second stage of a labour that was already obstructed something easily recognized if there were using a partogram which they probably weren't even using his wife's uterus ruptured into the bladder

I think he shud be celebrating life not pressing charges

What can i say. For those that have babies without any issues be thankful. Sometimes it goes horribly wrong.... God please have mercy on this woman. I

mpu0001:
for those of u who castigate the Dr without knowing the case in question. it is more grievous for the hospital to have a case of severe uterine rupture with complication and fail to do total hysterectomy it is an error without pardon, if the woman dies. so if he want to sue let him sue the maternity where the woman was given antenatal care and labour. no matter how u hate the doctors you will always need them.

Well spoken my dear...and also considering the woman's parity (the number of children), u would just go for hysterectomy.

The pastor should go and rest joor

No doctor would dare remove a uterus without the husbands consent or wife's consent.

The man was told and he agreed now a pastor is telling lies.

He wants to cry foul after making a decision under pressure.


Fool.

martineinstein:
becos he didnt pay fully,they shud remover her womb abi?.....smh for ur ignorance

U got it all wrong due to ur hurry to crucify both me and the hospital. However, I think I should come a bit lower since u couldn't comprehend at the level I assumed u should be.
With a meagre deposit, the hospital commenced services. While in the theatre, they noticed bigger complications, and still went ahead to correct it , not minding the little deposit. Now, it is time to pay, your hero is reporting her saviour to the whole world.
Think about it

am an indegene of ilogbo-elegba were the hospital is situated, but I know this hospital for there standard. so pastor or what did u call urself. don't black mail them for ur negligence and please pay ur bill.

AwesomeHIM:
Receive sense in Jesus name......Amen

You're the one in need of a whole load of common sense, you ignoramus..

martineinstein:
with d way u are defending hospital,it seems u work there...smh

Mr Man, please seek knowledge instead of silly rants on NL, u said ur brother is a Dr so why not ask him and see what he says... Ignorance is the result for not seeking knowledge when it's available... Good day

He never said medical doctors...he said doctors.optometrists are doctors.or are they not?

You were right anyway.You don't have to qualify ur input.Optometrists are DOCTORS. Full practicing doctors of optometry recognized all over the world as such.They are not MDS but ODs.
