Bros i can come and condemn the action of the hospital as i said in a earlier post that they could have handled it better...but it will not change the reality on ground that,... Most Private Hospitals in Nigeria will not treat without deposit

Yes you did but you also blamed an innocent victim.

NwaAmaikpe:


I don't blame the hospital
The man is too dirty to be treated in that clinic. His presence alone will make the clinic lose clients.

you try to be funny but end up being stupid

Like what helping hand is he suppose to give in this case?

some people are daft woz dis ode saying!!! illiteracy is a disease

thesicilian:
But Segun Arinze is big enough to cross the street to the hospital and find out what is going on and if possible pay the patient's deposit fee now.
Besides that doesn't look like an unconscious man.

Having a haircut. How? Abi na shaving stick dem dey use for him haircut? This dude is Practically hairless

Doren Specialist Hospital Ajah: A tale of woes, tragedies and death | Victims speak
4 years ago0 Comments

One of the men who inspired me in my University days and now a major supporter of my works and today a dear friend lost his pregnant wife to Doren Specialist Hospital’s carelessness and nonchalant attitude to their patience. Those who traits would be a enough to cause a pregnant woman’s death but add their incompetence and you have something close to a murder-network in your hands. Adekunle Sanusi is young Nigerian, widely known amongst Junior Chamber International, JCI. He lost his young, promising, pregnant wife to the above named hospital. Listening to a tape of the meeting between the deceased family and the hospital, I could already sense the I-don’t-care attitude of the medical head. Kunle in his own words to me said;

As I write you this the hospital is yet make any form remorseful apology or even any condolences to me or my family, also my wife’s wedding band and engagement is yet to be returned or handed back to me despite the fact that we had requested for it. As a matter of fact we just renewed our vows and exchanged new sets of rings we bought this last August during our summer trip to US and Dubai.

I choose to give you the exclusive right and mandate to write about the ills of this hospital because there are many persons who had fallen victim to their callousness and negligence, some of this person had personally come to me after they heard about the tragic event, and I am pretty sure they will give their account of their experience with the hospital.

I plead with you take this with attention and seriousness it deserves, I believe in your wide reach and I know by the time you start writing on this story people will come out to add their voice, I do not wish to drag legal issues with the hospital but I would love for the hospital to show remorse and humility and in all, clean up their acts in other save other people from the grief I am experiencing at the moment.
From the tape I listened to, the hospital bluntly refused to take responsibility. No sign of remorse neither did they act like two lives which had been lost due to their negligence were being discussed. I decided not to hear Kunle alone, I asked to hear from other people who had something to say about this Ajah, Lagos based hospital. Their testimonies are shared below. Except for Kunle’s name, the names of the other people have been edited for security reasons.

Mrs Umweni’s Testimony

My name is *Mrs. Umweni, I want to share my experience in Doren Specialist Hospital, Ajah; it happened in the year 2012. My two sons were brought back from school for being sick, that they were running temperature and vomiting so, when I took them to Doren Specialist Hospital, Ajah and the doctor we met was Doctor Felix (Now revealed as a Senior Medical Officer).

Upon meeting Dr Felix, he told my first son Dayo by name to open his mouth and Dr Felix said the red thing in my son’s throat is red and a little bit thing, he said the same thing of Dayo’s brother (my second son), Dr. Felix did not carry any test nor detail examination and I brought it to his notice but he said there is no need for any test.

Before we knew anything we had already paid over 20,000Naira without any particular test was being carried out and Dr. Felix prescribed some drugs and injections for my sons; right there in the Hospital before we left my sons were vomiting again and I called the attention of the doctor who said the drugs haven’t started working yet and he (Dr Felix) gave them another injection.

When we got home my sons condition worsened and I called the hospital on the phone to complain but I was told to calm down that the drugs will soon take effect and they will feel better. My son never felt better, my husband and I had to keep vigil over them because my first son Bayo was not even dilating anymore.

We were fortunate that a relative recommended another clinic of a doctor who was trained abroad, upon getting there ran some tests on my sons and came out with food poisoning diagnosis, the new doctor also made mention of the initial prescription made by Dr Felix has been wrong and dangerous to my sons.

This experience made my family really scared of going back to Doren Specialist Hospital. I would also like to state the hospital has very nonchalant and has a care free attitude towards attending to patients They are not thorough in their job and I learnt from similar victims of their incompetence that most of their doctors are youth corps members or students still undergoing medical houseman ship!

*Mrs. Joy Akpabio’s Testimony

My name is Mrs Joy Akpabio, I had cause to have my first baby at Doren Specialist Hospital, Ajah on October 2nd 2007. I was admitted in the early morning of 2nd October 2007 for induction but the induction did not take place until about 3pm later on the 2nd of October 2007 and I delivered my baby between 9 and 10pm that day.

After delivery, since it was my first baby; I didn’t know what to really expect but after cleaning my baby and all other things done, I noticed that if I get up to stand a pool of blood will gush out from me soaking my legs and private area, I feel very scared and I called the attention of the doctors but there were only nurses around and the nurse that came said it was because of my being stitched in the private that is causing the flow and it will stop, I was not convinced more so the nurse wanted to check the stitched area and I declined because I was feeling pain there.

I snapped at the nurse that if there is anything I should be given that could have stopped or control the blood flow should be done rather than guessing what the problem was; after a while the nurse came with an injection, which I was given and the blood flow stopped.

The medical director of Doren Specialist Hospital came during the time I was in labour; another lady shared my ward and she was in labour as well. When the MD came in he wanted to check our level dilation by inserting his hand into our private area, I declined seeking for the matron to be the one to do mine and to my utter surprise the MD said he was going home leaving us in the hands of nurses with no other doctors available.

I had my baby safely to the glory of God but not without being scared by the hospital, when I wanted to my second baby at another hospital this time around, it was difficult for me to pass feces and upon examination the doctors attending to me found out that I was wrongly stitched the last time I delivered which showed that anus was almost closed by the wrong stitch done at Doren Specialist Hospital.

The stitch was corrected and I had my second baby safely, I also witnessed how the other lady that shared my ward was treated, her own case was even more worse because she eventually had her baby through CS after undergoing severe pain and agony due to neglect and untimely attendance by the hospital personnel

There were no doctors or nurses stationed with us during after delivery, it was the other lady house maid who sat with us in the ward that served as person calling the personnel attention to our need, the nurse were very nasty and abusive and uncaring.

The hospital should be stopped before more lives are lost to their incompetence and unprofessionalism

PS: Names have been edited for security reasons. Do you know anyone with a similar experience as the above persons? Please share. If the government cannot clean up the system, we might as well alert fellow citizens of the dangers out there. May Mrs. Sanusi continue to Rest In Peace. jj@omojuwa.com

Doren Hospital misdiagnosed an ailment that could have killed me!
I struggled with whether to share this story and how much of it, I should.

I share so that you can look out and ask questions. You have just One Body. It can fail because some trained doctor did not bother to do proper investigative tests...

One saturday in July, I woke up in pain. I was feverish. I was tired. I could not explain what I was truly feeling. All I knew was I did not feel right.

I attributed it to the recent stress at work and was determined to rest the whole day despite the fact that saturdays are (cleaning and cooking days). Yes oh.

So I rested the whole of saturday confident that sunday would be better and I would be up and ready for work by monday.

Sunday dawned and I was feeling much better. By evening however, the fever had returned and I was in all shades of pain. Pain on my back but largely on my abdomen.

My husband decided to take me to Doren Specialist Hospital (his HMO hospital in Ajah). We got there and the doctor said she thought it might be Urinary Tract Infection or Acute appendicitis. Because of the pain they immediately placed me on IV and by the next morning, I had taken like 10. Subsequently they called the Chief Surgeon to take a look at me. He ordered that I do a scan on the 1st floor of their hospital to confirm his theory that it was acute appendicitis. I did the scan followed it with blood and urine tests.

Already, I was irritated with the quality of service in the hospital. The nurses were inefficient when they drew blood, my IV would run out for at least 30 minutes before the nurse would change it, blood would stain the sheets till I begged they be removed. I felt like I was in hell.

On seeing the result of my 'scan' the chief surgeon was convinced that I had acute appendicitis. At this point after seeing the wish washy attitude, I decided to google 'appendicitis'. My findings led me to ask the doctors if there were other ailments that may mirror the symptoms of appendicitis. One of them told me he was the doctor and what he said was the issue, was the issue. I shut my mouth (abi, it is law I read, I didn't read medicine).

Then came tuesday, the day prescribed for surgery. I was so upset. No one had come to explain anything ( I mean they were about to invade my body, the least they could do was give me detailed information of the procedure, I had a right to know. Didn't I?)

After I had nagged and screamed the hospital down, they eventually sent the anaesthetist to come and give me a 'detailed script' of how the surgery would go down. (Please pay attention to the 'detailed script', it is intended to be sarcastic, just in case the meaning is lost on you)

I went in. I did the surgery. I was bedhooked for 5days in the hospital and another 5 days at home.

The experience left a metallic taste in my mouth. What kind of hospital was that?

I resumed work in two weeks looking hot like fire and began to live life like nothing happened.


September came ( two months later). The pain resumed. Kai. What kind of wahala was this? Sebi they took out the acute appendicitis? (Guess my enemies were not happy. lol)

My sensitive and vigilant mum called. My dad said I should go to 'Mecure'. I did (they said I needed a doctor's referral). My mum insisted that I go see Aunty Mabel to take me to the Advanced Videoscopic and Laparascopy Center. Everyone was fretting. What was going on?

I went to see the physician at this new prescribed hospital. He examined me and told me he thought it was either a Liver disease or a condition known as Endometriosis.

He ordered me to go to a Consultancy and Investigative Center to do thorough tests like the ultra sound, CT Scan & Liver function test.

At the investigative center, they push liquid through my rectum for minutes, pump mixed 'liguids' through my arm. The result comes out. It shows clearly that Doren Specialist Hospital cut out my appendix for nothing.

I take it back to my physician. (Yes my doctor) who tells me to google the apparent issue and ask him questions. (See the difference between the doctor that got it right and the one that did not.)

I ask him all sorts of questions. He puts my mind at rest, gives me all the details necessary for a second necessary surgery.

I do the second surgery (a laparoscopy which shows that the appendix site was left in a way that could have messed up my intestines in a few months.) Phew. God is good.

I am not sharing this so that you can ooooh or aaah on my behalf. I am sharing so that you and your loved ones can pay attention to what is done to and on your body. No one knows it all. Ask about everything regarding your health. Pay attention to what they diagnose. Google. Google again. You and I can cause a change in the nefarious health system in Nigeria. Speak out.

Share this, it might just save a life.

Whats makes you think is about money? Private hospitals are so substandard that the only thing they can boast of is structures with Air-conditioned environment. Outrightly they are empty. They shy away from cases they outrightly know they cant handle.

Have you heard when a private hospital told someone at the point of death of his loved one to quickly go to General Hospital? General hospital is under-funded but its far better than all this big private hospitals you see with exorbitant bills. They only treat malaria and body-aches there. Thats the only thing they are good at.

You're right. And no hospital deserves to be berated for rejecting a patient they cannot handle. Though there are more civilized and respectable ways of rejecting and referring.

AuroraB:
Why don't you condemn what the hospital did?

Because I don't know why they did so.

MALICIOUS COMMENTS

The attention of our organisation has been drawn to the malicious statements and images made by one Mr Segun Arinze regarding a man who was said to have been refused medical attention. The facts of the matter are:

1. The said man was rushed to the hospital on 21st February 2018, by a group of people who gave a history that he was electrocuted.

2. A doctor from the hospital promptly went to assess the man and certified him DEAD AT PRESENTATION.

3. The group of people who brought him were informed that the patient was dead and were counselled to take the man to a morgue since the hospital does not run mortuary services.

4. The group of people who brought the dead man rather than take the corpse to the morgue resorted to creating a scene and disrupting the operation of the hospital.

Please note that the hospital as a point of duty attends to all emergencies as they present and does not put cost as a prerequisite for first aid treatment to be administered.

Thank you very much.

So since he didn't make mention of it, the best conclusion is that he didn't? I am sure if he had mentioned it, you will still ask why he is announcing it.

I'll never do dat,am nt someone like dat
I'll rather commend him

Good day all, I have seen the post by Segun Arinze about the purpoted accident victim. As a witness to the events,
The facts of the matter are:
1. The man was said to have been electrocuted and was brought in dead(BID) to the said hospital.
2. The nurse and doctor on duty promptly assessed the man and certified him dead at presentation. Segun Arinze was in a barbing salon opposite the hospital which is a two-storey building and that was where he took the picture from after the man had been attended to. He never came down to check or confirm what transpired. All he did was to post what he never confirmed.
3. The people who brought the man were informed that the man was already dead and the corpse needed to be taken to a mortuary. Since the hospital does not run a mortuary service.
4. After being told this, the people who brought the corpse started causing pandemonium and disrupting the operations of the hospital.

Doren Specialist Hospital at no point rejects emergencies and does not require money being deposited as a criteria for treating emergencies.

Thank you bros. God bless you for the information!
Useless yeyebrities! Useless media!

That's too bad.

Nigerians are generally ignorant of existing laws. The National Health Act !NHAct2014) which was signed into law by GEJ but has not been implemented is the solution to the management of accident victims.
An unconscious patient needs treatment in an intensive care unit (ICU). How many hospitals in this country have a functional ICU. Road traffic accident (RTA) patients are supposed to be evacuated to trauma centres by paramedics in an ambulance. The FRSC officers are supposed to be called anytime there is an RTA. They have ambulances meant for evacuation of accident victims & they have trauma centres in some parts of the country.

What stops Segun Arinze from crossing over to the Hospital and depositing N100K for commencement of treatment before telling us all these? Celebrity na for mouth?

Gd evening everyone.I was on duty at Doren today.1) The said patient was dead (not unconscious)on arrival ,from electrocution (not an accident). 2) He was examined by the doctor on duty who certified him dead and asked DAT he be taken to a morgue.3) D Ppl who brought him were asking DAT we just take him into the hospital and do something.4) the people who brought him were not relatives but ppl he was working with when the accident occurred
and would have just abandoned him there 5) the issue of money!/payment never arose. Thanx for hearing our side of the story.
P.s- kudos @segun arinze u HV succeeded in trending today.
