helpee:
What duty of care? The school had a nurse on duty who stated the girl was dead on the spot but she couldn’t certify her dead because she is a nurse. Do we have paramedics in Nigeria? Where are they trained? All the people acting as paramedics in Nigeria are nurses. What do you mean by duty if care? You just heard the term and you are running agog with it. In standard setting, the people around would only initiate BLS protocol and call for help with ambulance. The ambulance would be there within five minutes. For your information, it is govt that ensures such ambulances are readily available. What the school owe them they did… they had a nurse who tried to resuscitate. They took her to the closest medical center.So tell me, what do you mean by duty of care for someone that suddenly arrested? They can’t do beyond what the system allows… even if they got her to hospital alive and she needed an immediate catheterization, it won’t be available anyway . Yes, we all need a scape goat in things like this… until you see the result of the autopsy, you are just spewing childish trash about duty of care.
Bro you said my mind...keyboard lawyers think we are in an American movie...someone will soon say the school is suppose to have a helicopter for such Emergencies.

My God grant the affected family the fortitude....

Occurrences like this happens everyday, only that Chrisland is a big man's school. The school management should be more careful when they plan for their next physical activities,...A lot of Agebor children are not physically fit as they appear.....
