My wife was ill and so she went to ESUT teaching hospital at Parlane, Enugu to see a doctor. The doctor referred her to the hospital's lab where she paid and obtained a receipt and blood was taken for the said test. Two days later, she went to the lab for the result. Lo and behold, it could not be found at the laboratory department of the hospital. After searching for the result without seeing it, she was told to go to the bank, make another payment and have the test repeated but I have lost confidence in the result. How reliable will the result be? Should the new result be reliable at all? Can the doctor draw a reliable inference from the result and arrive at a valid conclusion? Do I sue the hospital for negligence? Should I allow my wife to pay again for their error? Shouldn't parklane be sanctioned for this silly mistake that borders on human life?? Your kind advise will be appreciated. Thank you.

What a shame!
I'll advice you to take your wife to a private hospital like Annunciation, St Mary, Peenok, and get good medical attention, but if you insist on a govt owned facility, go to UNTH, they are very sane there. Parklane has never been an option to me

D part I hate is she being told to pay for a repeat of d test,its callous.I bet if u take it higher up somepeople will stat getting jittery,bc its possible that its a laxity that has bn ongoing w/o people at d top being aware or anybody being punished 4it.
With regards to d test itself,it may no longer gv d true situation of her health status when she originally presnted particularly if she was started on drugs after her first presentation in d clinic.
Suing d hosp?On what,is not as if a fatal error was made,jst tke it higher up,so that it becomes known,people sanctioned,corrections made,so that next time it won't actually b a life being lost due to negligence

Thanks for the advice. I appreciate them so much.

How much would it cost to sue an hospital and how much does the new test cost

Its not about the money,he's talking about their negligence and incompetence. Try to be objective.

Hmmm. Horrible!
