In as much as the OP might have a point or two, it doesn't mean you hav the fact as you rightly said. All I can see is a medical doctor trying to defend on of his own, at the same time claiming to be objective. The husband was on radio today, giving accounts of what happened. After he hung up, a listener called and shared her horrific experience in the hands of a doctor in a big hospital in PH. She was almost killed until she caused a scene and packed her things, moved to another hospital where the procedure was done for her. Also what I see here is that, the health sector, unfortunately is not immune to the decadence that has ravaged the moral fabric of naija. 1 Like |

LagosismyHome: This is exactly what is happening in Naija, someone I know almost lost her life because of phobia for cs, she bled postpartum and had to be admitted in the hospital for days to be transfused. When my baby was delivered through CS you need to see how my sisters were crying because they were afraid I would lose my life in the process. 1 Like |

nice write up sir. I am a consultant OBGYN and the owner of the hospital was one of my ogas during residency. He is well respected and a fellow of the royal college. Even in the government hospital where I trained, he has always been regarded as one of the most knowledgeable, skillful and hard working, managing high risk cases that other consultants are running away from. As such I dont believe he or his doctors would be negligent in His his private hospital. Hypertensive disorders especially preeclampsia/eclampsia remain the third leading cause of maternal death globally. However, my only criticism is that for high risk cases, if the patient/relations are not willing to comply with your management or facilities and manpower lacking, it's better to refer to a tertiary government center. Run awau from litigation and being scandalized by the social media/press 2 Likes |

dominique: The husband obviously refused CS, most likely because wife delivered 2 kids without CS. The hospital should have asked the patient to leave his hospital. 3 Likes |

keepingmum: Unfortunately, a lot of Nigerian women refuse to consent to CS, even after they have been told it could save their lives. One told my sibling "my pastor and I and my husband have been praying, please give it more time". Luckily a nurse was the neighbour to her mum (a retired nurse) so they called the mum and she got on the phone and cussed out her daughter, her husband and the useless pastor till crying, the lady agreed to the CS. Had she died, her husband will wail "Naija Dr's killed my wife and pikin". Her mum employed the entire dictionary of Yoruba swear words and curses to get it through her daughter's thick skull the gravity of her situation. You have never had to leave a delivery room because your hand was itching to slap the mor.on defiantly refusing CS and praying for a miracle whilst losing valuable time. Nigerians will tell you they don't have money to pay for antenatal before 6 months so they will use one "neighborhood nurse/maternity clinic" but they have budgeted money for the Naming Ceremony afterwards. When things go bad and they are rushed to GH or LUTH, it remains to blame Doctors. There was even one popular case on this NL where they blamed Dr's and I found out the truth, it was the lady's negligence (which is why I can never donate any money again). See the blame her family were heaping on the Dr's in an attempt to garner sympathy and money for her, when they knew she messed up. When I asked her supporters, they backtracked on the Medical Negligence angle quickly. 1 Like |

Nweike1:Exactly, it's better to refer to a tertiary institution when the patient refuses your treatment plan and Make the patient sign against medical advice. May God continue to guide and protect us all. |
Re: The Late Chisom Anekwe: Another Perspective by Valobit(f): 5:20pm On May 18, 2017 |
Rheality: I wasn't there, so I don't know the details. But I know this- CS is a taboo. People look down on women who gave birth through CS, citing laziness as the reason. I'm quite sure they objected to CS. I know a senior doctor who gives patient the option to leave if they reject CS. With hindsight, the patient should have been referred to a tertiary centre. But one is not a psychic 1 Like |

If after 24hrs and the husband refused to consent for cs,the hospital should have referred her out to avoid what is happening now. |

OP, quite an incisive, thought-provoking and analytic piece. But your love for sophistry/pedantry would make it boring to an average untrained reader, and make you almost forget it's an essay, not a literary piece. If you put the effort, you'd make a good writer. Sheet, such a lovely woman. 1 Like |

No..i don't agree to your assertion that the rate of CS is very high especially in Nigeria. Statistics has shown that 80%of expectant mothers in the UK anf US prefer CS as the safest method of child birth PastorAji: |

I took pain to read the long defense write up for the doctors, if a proper check is done its obvious the OP is not in Nigeria to know what exactly transpires in our hospitals. I was a victim and I have my story to tell. Although I Survived because God is faithful. |

Great writing from the OP. It is such a joy to read a well crafted piece. I don't necessarily agree nor disagree with him. I'm one of those who has experienced an arrogant incompetent doctor (one of the best, we were told), who managed to leave a surgical implement in my husband's leg during surgery. It was an absolutely dreadful experience that left me with very little faith in the Nigerian health sector, including its personel. It brought home in a very personal way, the horror stories one reads or hears about in the media. That said, I experienced pre-eclampsia when I had my son in 2005 so I know the delicacy of the condition. And I cannot speak enough of the absolute professionalism and care of the staff of National Hospital that cared for me when they had to carry out a CS to bring out my 30 weeks old baby. The great paradox of Nigeria. 1 Like |

The husband also failed to tell the world his wife was a sickler and was advised before term for a CS considering the her medical history, tortuous obstetric history and ivf baby. |
