Something must kill a man RIP

So pathetic
But can I blame those Doctors? The reply here is very tight after the virus had taken so many lives including Doctor's lives sef.
May God help us o jare

See beautiful wife gone like that!Nigeria health workers need to put more efforts to save lives at any given time.Some of them are heartless and wicked.Demons lives in some Nigeria nurses.Most of them are so rude and behave like witch who want you to die already.Pure witchcraft!

So heartless

Blame the govt more for not equipping our health officers with necessary training and equipments needed for the job.

God will judge them all and speedily too

spiceadole:
The medical personnels were in order.

No PPE...Run for your life!

Every patient right now is handled as a suspected Covid-19 case.
How much more with such complaints.

Medical personnels also have families and loved ones..Many are breadwinners too.

May the soul of the departed rest in peace.

Well summarised�

That's why I decided for self - medication when I was sick last week than compounding my problem with Nigeria hospitals.
Every cough, fever are now corona virus.

Tragedy

masterP042:
This is Nigeria. Almost every one likes to complain, and castigate the country and the leaders.. Until u have encounter with the average person out there, you'll know that they're no better than buhari or the average Nigerian they wail about.
Every where reeks of wickedness and incompetence.

So true.

But why didn't you take her out of the hospital when you found out she was neglected, why did you watched her die like that, why ??

RIP

Fever , cough, breathlessness.
High suspicion for covid.
They should have sent her to a covid center to be managed.
Perilous times we're in now.
Hope UNTH has PPEs for their staff

take heart

Gburu gburu killed that state....

DanseMacabre:
Tragic.

To be candid though, I'd rather put the blame on the failed government than on the medical personnel. The behaviour of the medical personnel towards the man's wife is a fallout of the government's refusal to provide them with equipment for fighting this virus.

Many private hospitals in Lagos are already closing down as a result of government's failure to provide PPE for their workers. It's most unfortunate.

I'm so sorry about that. Please take heart.

Well summarised�

Thank you..
Even here in UK where the availability of PPE is good..We are scared.
Not to talk of Nigeria...I would have resigned or taken a leave this period ,if I were still in Nigeria.

My life first!
My family needs me more than any patient!!

I pity doctors in Nigeria.
I pray this pandemic doesn't become overwhelming.

Seems saving all my money to jet out of this country is a business on its own .
This country will fail you when you need her the most

All of them are all useless.

Developed cardiovascular disorder after her 4th childbirth......... Nigerian men and their idea of plenty children, hmmm. RIP to the dead.

Very unprofessional.

"Doctors At UNTH Watched My Wife Die Like A Foul Without Helping Her For Fear Of Coronavirus"

-Husband

A 40-year-old man, Mr Nwachukwu Alagbu, has accused medical doctors at University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital UNTH, Ituku Ozalla, Enugu state, of killing his wife for the fear of been contracting the dreaded Coronavirus.

The man who cried profusely over the death of his wife with four children behind, explain to our Correspondent that; “my wife, late Mrs Nkiru Alagbu, was a 35-year-old woman who developed cardiovascular disorder shortly after her last child more than a year ago.

“Her medical condition had been waxing and waning, especially after every treatment.

“In January 2020, my wife developed the following symptoms: fever, breathlessness, chest pain, morbid weakness, and excessive sweating and loss of appetite. Her illness made my lovely wife visit so many hospitals until Tuesday (14th April 2020) when she had to be referred to a diagnostic Clinic in Enugu for some investigations.

“Right there, the good-spirited Consultant in that Clinic promptly referred her to a cardiologist for immediate attention when he noticed her major health challenge was cardiovascular disease”.

Continuing, Alagbu said “this action heralded our travails. For the avoidance of doubt, my wife and I had not traveled outside Enugu and Anambra States in the last five years. We had never come in contact with anyone diagnosed or suspected of having COVID-19.

“Unfortunately, by the period we got to the private hospital in Enugu in the morning on 15-04-2020, we were directed to Enugu State University Teaching Hospital Parklane GRA, Enugu. At ESUTH Parklane, they informed us their hospital did not have a functional Trolley or wheelchair to wheel my wife to the ward and that the hospital wards were full without empty beds.

“In frustration, I immediately took her to UNTH, Ituku/Ozalla. That was where the worst happened. A doctor came and from a prescribe social distance asked some few questions. Quickly, he concluded that, it was a case of COVID-19. Immediately myself, my brother’s wife and a family friend who offered to accompany us to the hospital started crying because none of the medical personnel on duty in the hospital Emergency cared to assist after my late wife was tagged a COVID-19 case. At this time my wife whispered to my ear, that I should not allow her die. I saw my wife in pain and she keep telling me that she would not die. I cried my eyes out when i learnt that the consultant cardiologist called UNTH, informing them to admit my wife for him. That he was coming to take over her treatment, but they ignored him, saying my wife was a Coronavirus patient.

“Within a short while, after the doctor made that COVID-19 proclamation, all the medical personnel disappeared. No one bothered to come close to her while she was lying in the car helpless. And after waiting for more than 30 minutes, I saw my brother’s wife ( A Consultant’ wife) crying uncontrollably, and handing her phone to a doctor so that the husband could explain the health situation of my wife to him.

“My brother later informed me what the doctor said. He said that they had started making efforts to contact the COVID-19 medical team that would handle the case of my wife.

“He told me that the doctor he spoke with on the phone was so rude and that that UNTH doctor started accusing him of threatening him after informing him that he had to make efforts to sustain the sick alive while they make their efforts at confirming or ruling out the COVID-19.

“All attempts made by my brother to convince them that my wife was not a COVID-19 case proved abortive”, Alagbu added.

He continued: “I have never felt so incapacitated like this since I was born some 40 years ago. I saw my wife die like a foul in a hospital, and the doctors turned their backs at her and worked away without pity or compassion, he wept.

“They allowed my wife to die unattended to, all in the name of fear of COVID-19. Medical doctors watched my wife die like a soulless being. I thought it was a local movie playing when I could not get help from the Government Hospital, simply because the doctors felt my wife had COVID-19 symptom.

“I knew the worst could have happened. But, I kept calm. To my most considerable chagrin, it took the person of the Chief Medical Director of the hospital to attend to her personally and certify her dead after the sick had been in the hospital for hours without the desired attention.

“It is a sad history in my whole life watching the mother of my children died like a foul. The hospital could not open a folder or card. She came to the hospital, died after about three hours while in a car”.

At that point, Nkiru’s body was taken away from UNTH Enugu to a private mortuary.

While calling on Enugu state governor, Chief Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi and the National Center for Disease Control (NCDC), to urgently intervened on the matter, Mr. Alagbu, asked If indeed the case was a COVID-19 case, “how come there were no efforts put in place for sample collection even after death, what measures did the hospital put in place to safeguard the mortuary staff?, Why did it take the hospital hours to wear their PPE and attend to the patient? What is the hope of ordinary men in our Nigeria hospital today? How come the whole fear of COVID-19 disappeared as soon as the patient died? I am heart-wrecked because my wife died leaving behind four children, the eldest is 11 year old.

“This wicked doctors watched my wife die like a foul for a purported fear of COVID-19”, he cried via telephone.

When contacted on the allegation the chairman UNTH, Medical Advisory Committee, Dr. Valentine Ogwu, he said he was in a meeting and promised to called back which he never did after several calls and text messages.

I feel so sorry for him but those signs can make the stupid high school doctors without no good ethics to avoid her , I was at one useless state hospital at Ibadan one year and I was about to die these stupid nurses were telling my parents that they should que and get me a card first my dad was helpless what if had died just bcuz of 200 card oh , Nigeria is a mistake , dis country won’t change even when other African countries are developing to western countries standard

Thats Inhumane. Why always bad news from hospitals in Enugu The Government of Enugu State and the Unth management should be sued to court for Administrative lackadaisicality and willful negligence.

This is what you get when NMA is more interested in fighting Chinese doctors
rather than demanding for protective equipment and instilling professionalism in their members.

That said, only in Nigeria do doctors and nurses run away from their duties using one excuse or the
other. They display very little patriotism or pride.
Many of us know how they behave in normal times.

I hope we never have a real emergency on our hands.

Kai, so she left this beautiful family...mbanu!!!

Once again it has been proven that the black man is his own worst enemy. Most of all Nigerian medical practitioners a bunch of heartless and non compassionate beings in white and green.

RIP to the young mother and may God grant the hubby the fortitude to bear the loss.

Secondly can we all agree our audio governor spent over 500million naira in diagnostic tests kits and isolation centres in his dreams alone. 3hours is more than enough for an ambulance to leave from UNTH to Nsukka or Ngwo or let me burst your bubble the famous Enugu Diagnostic and Isolation Centre opposite Shop Rite, that's 5mins away from Parklane.

Enugu is in failed hands finally.

No work ethics

Just negodu!! If common person contract this dreaded virus, he will definitely dies. No hope for common man in this country, SMH.

The last moment will keep disturbing this man. He may develop natural hatred for doctors.

Very painful being helpless and seeing your wife die without help

Enugu people too like money, if you want a VIP treatment from them, add Otedola or Dangote to your name, surely they shall worship you throughout your stay.

You won't blame these health workers. We have already lost couple of them to this convid-19 due to lack of protective equipment that should be made available by a responsible government so these people can perform their duties without putting their lives to risk.
