Some hospital staff have been suspended over alleged gross misconduct and negligence towards a patient in Calabar, Cross River state. It was gathered that on Friday evening, a pregnant woman in labor was brought to PHC Mayne Avenue.

Rather than hospital workers helping her into the labor room, they demanded for N20,000 for surgery and allegedly pushed the woman out of the facility when she didn't pay despite her pain. It was alleged that a trained nurse named Eme Bassey used mop stick to beat the woman, claiming that she bit her hand with her teeth..

The pregnant woman went to the grass in front of the facility where she struggled on her own to deliver her baby and was aided by a member of the community and other passer by. When finally the woman put to birth, the youths in the community went into the health facility to move the said nurse out to ensure she assisted the woman. It was then she reluctantly came out to help the woman deliver her placenta and finally let her into the facility.

The Director General of Cross River State Primary Healthcare Development Agency, Dr Betta Edu when called, arrived the facility in complete shock that women could give such treatment to a fellow woman.

The DG, with immediate effect suspended all the staff involved and the PHC coordinator who supervises then. All staff involved are to face disciplinary committee and night face tough sanctions including dismissal if the board so decides.

On Saturday, an American Airlines Flight Attendant was working on a flight from Phoenix to Dallas with the airline’s CEO, Doug Parker onboard the flight.

While she was walking in the cabin during the in-flight pre-departure service with a tray of drinks, a passenger in front of her suddenly stopped and hit her. The drinks on the tray she was carrying flew and went all over her CEO.

She became very afraid and wondered if she was going to be sacked for pouring drinks on her own CEO. But fortunately for her, the CEO is a jolly good fellow and they ended up having a chat and a selfie.

She shared the story on Instagram. She wrote;

The other day I was working a flight to Dallas. I had our CEO (Doug Parker) on my flight. I was serving drinks during boarding to the first class cabin. I had a full tray with drinks on it, when the passenger in front of me stops in the aisle and backs up. He bumps into the tray and the drinks go flying.

Guys I have worked for American Airlines for 4 years, and not once have I ever spilt a drink on a passenger. Guess who they land on. Half of them went all over me, the other half in Doug’s lap. I WAS MORTIFIED. I wanted to drop dead right there in the aisle. (Like am I still employed?!) I’m still slightly traumatized/embarrassed.

Luckily he was super cool, duh a good sport about it. He later came back and we chatted for a little, and joked about it the rest of the flight. When he was getting off the plane he told me he’d never forget me.... guess that’s a good thing right? Most people never even meet their CEO let alone shower them with beverages. But it’s too good of a story not to tell. Accidents happen. OOPS
