GboyegaD: But why do you think justice isn't been served in this case? Should innocent people be punished for a crime they didn't commit? Is that justice? Should the other boys, the school be held accountable for what they had nothing to do with? The whole purpose of the inquest is to put all the facts and information from different sources together and arrive at a plausible conclusion to what happened to the child. It's not to punish anybody, but to find out the truth. His death shouldn't have happened, but why did it happen is what this inquest will tell us. I'm sure more information will be made public. Statements from his roommates about the alleged beating would also be looked at. abbey621: So is it the fault of the Dr now? If the child had presented with malaria symptoms he will be treated as such. If he had presented with trauma symptoms he would be treated as such too. What magic is the Dr supposed to do for a child who should have been hospitalised in the first place? If the law were to be followed, the child's guardians are in trouble not taking him to the hospital especially if the Dr asked them to. Infact, the Dr would have called the police on them abroad. 1 Like |

emezuo17:How did you know he was healthy? Did you run a comprehensive health check on him before resumption? It is high time we stop the evil idea of pinning every death on others without evidence. 3 Likes |

With all these latest developments regarding this, anyone that still holds the school responsible or calling for it's closure is nothing but a daft punk. The family withheld and twisted so much information that have painted the school so negatively that I doubt if it would ever recover. 4 Likes |

They've approached the family doctor with either a huge sum of money or death threats. If it's the former,he's a betrayer and if latter,why fear death which is constant (as it is one of human characteristics)? I think a foul play is involved somewhere. Indeed,fear the RICH. The law is an ass. |

All those pastors who discourage you from seeking medical help have drs that visit their homes to treat them. Don't fall for their scam. Those seminars the lie to the church that they are attending abroad, they are actually going for medical care but don't want you to know |

eyinjuege: Can you quote the law that you speak of? A physician operates according to certain ethical codes and one of it is do no harm, what the f**k do you mean the child presented malaria symptoms? Based on what? Physician is the expert here, he should have been the one to advise hospitalization immediately. Please don't speak of abroad as if it is one magical place, I've been abroad for a decade and some years now and we have doctors making house calls all the time, it is the job of the expert to insist on emergency protocols. No law abroad would jail such a parent, I repeat no law! |

ivolt:Honestly. Even if he was healthy on resumption, people fall ill. Students catch malaria, typhoid, whitlow etc in boarding house and even in their fathers' houses. But I've never really understood why boarding houses always have to wait for parents to come and get their child when ill. The parents may be living in Abuja or may be on a trip abroad, and child is in Lagos. How are they supposed to get there quickly? I think parents should be made to pay comprehensive health insurance for their wards and the schools should do like a general insurance cover for the students in good hospitals where those schools are located. Just for emergencies, especially in Naija where ambulance services are rubbish. Once a child is ill, one of the school nurses can follow them to the hospital. The parents can meet up with them there or something But then again, parents who are already struggling to pay school fees, na dem go wan pay yearly health insurance that their child may never need for the whole number of years he spends at the school? 1 Like |

WiszyFraud: Yes bt will dowen college tell the truth on their own side like the family doctor is doing on the family’s side?? Will dowen say the truth or continue to claim football injuries and bacteria killed the boy. Will they explain the role of the students he mentioned in the own side of the story?? There are really 2 side to a story bt let’s not lie about our side of the stories also. I would like to know the timeline of events b4 and after he left the school. |

eyinjuege: Presented malaria based on what test please? A scam was conducted on 27th and he was referred to a specialist hospital for management but this doctor without tests started treating for malaria. This doctor should have his licence revoked. |
Re: Sylvester Oromoni Not Taken To Hospital For Treatment – Family Doctor Testifies by Eketem: 12:17am On Feb 02, 2022 |
sisisioge: Again this is just the Doctors testimony. The school will call it's witnesses and the autopsy report will be examined by then we will know what led to the liver damage. It is best to wait for the review of the autopsy report if you want to know what led to the liver damage. It is the family who requested for this Inquest. Everything about the boys death will be examined including what happened in school and shared here. Answers will not come in one hearing but hopefully the Inquest should be done by February ending. You will hopefully get your answers . |

abbey621: Oh please, come off it. What emergency protocols are in place in Nigeria? Home visits abroad are for housebound patients, usually due to chronic illnesses. That child was assessed by a clinician, and his assessment was that of malaria. Malaria and trauma are very 2 different presentations and can't be mistaken for each other like you tried to imply . Malaria and sepsis may however present similarly. The child didn't die the day the clinician saw him, I believe he likely worsened as the days went by. The next time they called the Dr to come, he was in a terrible state and the write up states he was referred to the hospital. If as parent, your child's condition worsens you take them to the hospital or call an ambulance for such. Unfortunately, the health system abroad is very different from that of Nigeria. I don't expect a Dr to force admission on an adult patient with capacity. However, if as a Dr abroad, a child is thought to be ill enough that you would be asked to make a house call, and the parents refuse an ambulance, I will expect you to call the police on them. I will expect you to call the safeguarding lead paediatrician in hospital who will set the ball rolling on getting that child admitted without the parent's consent. That child will be taken into the hospital, whether the parents like it or not and they may likely not be allowed access to that child in hospital. They may lose access to all their children actually. Calling the police is to enforce taking the child to the hospital at that moment. From some of the testimonies, it seems the parents don't believe in hospitals |

eyinjuege: It seems you are not following the whole process of the Inquest. So a family member testified on Friday he said thr boy was taken for a scan on the 27th and it showed an enlarged liver. The hospital where they had the scan referred him to The specialist hospital in Oghara. The doctor however countered the referral and chose to treat him for malaria. The doctor in his Testimony also confirmed that he and the parents attend the same church and he believes in a combination of prayers and treatment. This for me indices him, he didn't act in the best interest of the patient but allowed the relationship and church doctrine guide him. The doctor should be responding to a medical board and defend his licence |
Re: Sylvester Oromoni Not Taken To Hospital For Treatment – Family Doctor Testifies by abbey621(m): 12:39am On Feb 02, 2022 |
eyinjuege: Do you know for a fact that the parents refused? When they refused did the doctor make a report? You keep saying Nigerian system is different from abroad but continue to use abroad as your yardstick....... Firstly, you said doctor diagnosed malaria yet it wasn't critical enough to warrant hospitalization, you then want to blame the parent for not taking the kid to the hospital when the physician clearly did not see it as essential until it was too late(Professional quack)......... but seriously, you are right as a parent I would have driven upside down in traffic to get my child to the emergency room but from a legal perspective they did nothing wrong unless you can prove they refused professional advice of the physician. P.S. The wealthy or semi wealthy often have private doctors who make house calls not just for bed ridden patients, I have two doctors in my extended family doing this for a living. |

Eketem: There is a reason malaria medications are available over the counter in Nigeria. You really don't need tests to start treatment for malaria in Nigeria. This is because Nigeria is a malaria endemic region- its everywhere all the time, so yes it is very common. In order to avoid severe malaria and to avoid inundation of the barely available health services, medications are available over the counter for it. A market woman/ truck driver can treat malaria in Nigeria, so that's not a tenable excuse to indict the Dr. What I can possibly hold against the Dr is if he didn't advice them if his symptoms worsen to call an ambulance / take to hospital. Or even ask parents to call him for a follow up on Syl. I don't think the parents have health insurance, the govt too doesn't pay for them either, so it's strictly pay as you go when they ask a physician to come to them. If they don't call the Dr, he won't come. 1 Like |
