This story does not add up. How can the person who rushed him to the hospital will all of a sudden start video recording and laughing, if he didn't care, he wouldn't have brought him there in the first place.
Secondly, was it the lady who fainted after seeing his condition will now be recording him on video and be laughing, and refuse to take him to another hospital?

You don't know people at all! I have seen someone in my area who was part of group of people that helped rush a boy who was hit by motor to the hospital. It happened at eve of new year, Dec 31st, 12am. I was surprised to see the same guy showing the recorded video of the boy to everyone who cared to watch! I had to tell him that it was wrong and he should delete it. The boy didn't survive, massive head injury

Sometimes it's good to refrain from being very emotional about certain issues and watch things play out first. I don't blame those who blamed the hospital and its staffs sha, because things like this are common in Nigeria.

MrPADDY:
Even if the filming was done by a 'good Samaritan', it still exposed the hospital, and its inaptitude staff. The way and manner the accident victim was handled in that video was so unprofessional. If there was no video, no one would have been aware of what went on at that emergency moment.

Am sorry to say, but you are an IDEOT.
what would have the nurses done, or were you among the empty brains who never watched the video, but want to point blames immediately.

Didn't you hear the nurses calling on someone to come help them carry him?

Some of y'all are so braindead

kestolove95:
dont drink and drive nd if you must drink dont drive, rest in peace rico

fact#.. I had my own personal experience..drink and driving are 2 parallel line that should never meet..

BigBashiru:

Thats a cooked up lie by the hospital....

And how do you know this to be a lie?
The hospital named someone. The onus is on the named person, and no longer the hospital.

Rico’s friends did it!


One could tell easily!




The shots came from a bystander and glaring the nurses were in distress and trying to figure out next point of action..


Whoever recorded that video was a calm observer

The video also showed the hospital's ineptitude. How can a patient who is unconscious be placed on a chair like that? No hospital stretcher?

They (the hospital staff) were also asking for assistance from the patient's pals to carry him to a bed...but they were too busy videotaping..

(Yes, medicos do ask patient's relatives and friends for help with a patient. I've sometimes pitched in myself).

fx45:
I'm 100% sure he wasn't belted as well.

Yes o, I always use the seatbelt when driving or when a passenger.

jaxxy:
The video isn't the issue bt the attitude of the staffs in the video who seem clueless and with no direction like they have never attended to an emergency in the years of experience that's if they are not green horns.

The video isn't the main issue here especially since it wasn't a hospital staff bt a friend trying to follow up on his situation. Videos are not exactly out of place.

In this case, there was not much they could do, but refer him...which they did. (read the press release). They also eventually took care of his airway, breathing, circulation (which the videogrammers refused to video...because, agenda)

Head injuries, especially severe, must be treated in a hospital with a neurosurgeon around...and facilities to operate.

For this particular case, it was wrong to ask a patient relative to help move an unconscious patient. There is a standardised protocol for moving a trauma patient, especially one who is unconscious. The way he was placed on the chair with no neck restriction shows the hospital is a joke.

tarantino1:
According to Google, chances of survival with a GCS of 3 is basically 0.

Deeeepends....on the type of injury and time taken to reach the hospital, and so forth. But yeah, chances of survival are gaddem low...and even if you survive, you may end up being severely disabled.

they referred him good and how long exactly did it take to refer him?? Do hospitals keep timelines of their patients and activities??

The video also showed the ineptitude of the hospital even though the hospital staff may not have done the video. A patient who was brought in unconscious with a GCS of 3/15 was placed on a Chair like that? The hospital didn't have a stretcher? No cervical collar to stabilize the neck incase of a cervical spine fracture.

it's like you don't understand how bad things are in our Healthcare system. Most government hospitals don't have cervical collar, patient get it out of pocket, go and price at mushin or Eko market. You are now talking about an infamous private hospital like Doren specialist hospital.

jaxxy:

That's for the hospital to tell.

But then again, his Glasgow coma score...see the report...was 3. A normal person is supposed to be 15, A chap with10 or even 8 is in a bad way.

Even if they had gotten him to a neurosurgeon...his chances of survival were dang too slim. And even if he got an operaiton, and survived..there is a very high chance he would have been severely disabled, and that after a long stay in hospital...most of it ICU care.

The prognosis was grim...

Yes, but then again, the video lasted for all of one minute. We don't know if the video was taken

1.When he was just brought in

2.When he had been in the hospital for a while

3.When he was about to be taken to another hospital.


If 1 is true, then the hospital is hardly at fault....most accident patients in this country are brought in 'the wrong way' (It's why we now have the beginings of an Emrgency Medicne residency programme in Nigeria this year).

I have a question o. If an accident occur, why don't our good nation have emergency ambulances that can take patients directly to units or hospitals that have regulated facilities rather than this trial and error?

Be calming down, they mentioned the name of the person that videoed and post it to social media. The accused is not dead, let her defend herself.

So it was even a case of drink-driving and one lady was busy questioning God on why He let Rico die!

We do things to hurt ourselves and we blame God for the consequences, how's that for human beings?

You still don't get my point. Whether the video was taken when he was brought into the hospital, whether it was when he has been in the hospital, or whether it was when he was about to be moved to another hospital, placing an unconscious patient with a GCS of 3/15 on a chair the way they did showed that the hospital is a joke.

Let's say the video was taken when he was brought into the hospital. While use a chair to move an unconscious trauma patient (UTP) from the receiving area into the A$E?

Let's say the patient has been in the hospital for a while. Why place him on a chair?

Let's say the video was taken when he was to be moved to another hospital. And he was placed on a chair! Haba!

There are times when a one minute video is enough for you to draw CERTAIN conclusions.

Most government hospitals don't have cervical collars? I don't know how true this your statement is sha. Anyways, we are talking about a private hospital, not government hospital. how can a private hospital that charges patients alot not have a cervical collar? Also, the way the patient was placed on the chair was wrong.

Anyways, make dem investigate the hospital!

He was high on alcohol to meet the most high.
No do pass yourself.

May he find mercy

Discountsempai:
Yeah, with the explanation from the hospital, a lot of things make sense. It was obvious the nurse was talking to the person taking the video , not to her colleagues

Also bleeding from nose and ears indicates severe head injury. The guy needed a neurosurgeon urgently which was why he was referred. The Glasgow coma score being low and the fact that he was probably drinking made the matter worse.

The guy did not die of negligence. He died of a severe head injury. I betcha that the trauma was too severe for anything to be done.

Drive carefully everyone

Stop explaining rubbish, you can only tell that to those who didn’t watch the video, Nigeria hospitals doesn’t know the meaning of Emergency the time they spent laughing and making video would have been a enough to prepare Rico for ICU even a reasonable hospital won’t. Allow any kind people to come in and start making video it was all poor management of the hospital there are so many negligence cases that has went unchecked or unsolved because those people aren’t popular you wouldn’t have know if they didn’t make that video the entire Nigeria hospitals should go back and learn how to attend to an emergency instead of making unnecessary excuses even the nurse were laughing acting silly on the video is enough to indict the hospital of gross’s negligence, I am a safety officer I know what an emergency means I work with team of Paramedic here in UAE desert I can bet with my life that our hospitals in Nigeria are killing people

Exactly my point the video expose their poor management and handling of emergency situations, they were acting so unprofessional probably some auxiliary nurses who don’t know nothing just stand there and be wasting time when someone is bleeding to death

What is the prognosis of a patient with a GCS of 3/10?

Also, what is the revenue of the UAE and the population vis a vis Nigeria's revenue and population.?

You don’t even have eyes or read and understand I never told you I am a doctor, maybe your eyes Dey pain you… a hospital with good management won’t be wasting time during an emergency to allow people making video instead of focusing on how to address the emergency situation of their patients you failed to understand that part.

In an emergency every seconds counts most especially when the patients is bleeding you’re here defending such act maybe you are one of those auxiliaries workers because a doctor will understand the point I am trying to prove here
