A Nigerian man, Oghogho Sunday, has taken to social media to accuse a student doctor of causing the death of his wife during childbirth at a government-owned hospital in Edo state, IGBERETV reports.

A post he shared on Facebook read;

‘’How A Student Doctor "Butchered" my Wife to Death At the Edo Specialist Hospital

When my Wife _ Faith Oghogho took in, i Registered Her for Antenatal @ the Edo Specialist Hospital with the sum of #70,000

On the 27th Day of March, 2023 as time for her Delivery Approaches, i took her to the said Hospital. After Meeting the Doctor he checked and induced her and told us to come back in the evening that same day. We actually went back at about 4pm in the evening that same day.

From there, my Wife was Ushered into the Labour Ward.

She Laboured from that Monday evening till 11am Wednesday morning before she finally gave Birth to a Baby Boy without any Operation Conducted on Her.

Immediately after Delivery, She Started Bleeding __

I was Told by the Doctor that the only way to stop the Bleeding was to Remove Her Womb. Like a Sick Patient who must obey it's Physician, i Concurred. In the Process of Removing her Womb, the Kidney was affected. This aggravated the whole thing. She kept Bleeding.

The Doctor again instructed that i have to buy Blood.

I bought (22 Pans of Blood), also bought Blood from Live Donors. But all to no Avail.

From here, the Doctor instructed i do Dialysis which i did for (3 Days) at the Cost of #80,000 After which Doctor Osahon Placed my Wife on intensive Care since Her Kidney had already be Tampered with.

A day before she die, i was told to discharge the Newborn Baby so as to minimize the Hospital Bills, which my Wife consented to.

The following day after discharging the Baby, at 6am in the morning i received a Phone call from the Hospital that my Wife was dead, that I should Hurry up to come and remove her dead Body as they don't have Mortuary in the Hospital.

Getting there, i was made to pay #600,000 as balance Payment before allowing me to carry my Deceased wife to a Morgue elsewhere.

On the 18th Day of April after her Death, i received a Phone Call from the Chief Medical Director (CMD) of the Hospital _ Professor Sunday Adeoye with this Number 08034684739 that my attention was needed at the Hospital in Respect to my Wife's Death. Getting there with some of my family members, we met the CMD, and one Doctor Oriakhi, amongst (7 other Doctors) of the Hospital who condole and apologize to us that they have discovered that it was a Student Doctor that Operated my Wife. The CMD further said assuming we have not paid the Hospital Bills, they would have deducted from the Bills for us. But since the Hospital Bills had already been paid and entered into Government Account, there's nothing they or anybody can do unless such person want to throw weght with the Government, that the Hospital belongs to the Government. He further assured us that even if we go to Court, it'll never be for our Favour since the Government is involved.

At this juncture, i'm therefore using this Platform to call on the Government and all and Sundry especially all Relevant Agencies Saddled with such responsibility with such cases as mine, to Please help investigate and the Needful be done.

The Vacuum left for me is Over Weighing. Taking care of the Newborn Baby with the other Kids in the Absense of my Wife make my Heart Bleeds.''

No one can fully understand this man's pains...


Some Nigerian doctors have killed more persons than the ones they've saved. Take it or leave it.


My heart ❤️ goes out to this man and the lady's family.

That is crazy. That's how one almost killed my father last year.

what a painful thing to happen just because of someones carelessness.

Horrible

Negligence on their part. There was supposed to be a Doctor standing by!

Oh! I feel so so sorry for the husband I can see how sad he isfeeling from his photo. My sympathy!


The doctors are trying to cover up!

The government owned hospital looks equipped, Yet where were the Doctors to manage the hospital ?

''The Vacuum left for me is Over Weighing. Taking care of the Newborn
Baby with the other Kids in the Absense of my Wife make my Heart
Bleeds''. To all those Nairaland males who keeps talking these and that sh!t about marriage; know this, you cannot underestimate or sideline the importance of a woman/wife in a home.

Why then did they call you again? They just added more trauma to you.

But why should a student doctor operate unassisted.

May the Almighty God give you the strength to manage every day .
May her gentle soul rest in peace

Qualified doctors left Nigeria for better climes hence we are left with baby doctors.

With all this money, you should have registered her at a private hospital. But how can someone labour from Monday to Wednesday without any alternative means only in Nigeria RIP to the woman.

Trust me, I feel the pain of this man, I have lost someone close to me to such scenario, My sister in-law was killed by one private hospital in Ibadan..it was a difficult journey, hard to accept, painful, I still miss her till this moment, reading this alone made me wanna cry…this case it was a private hospital in ibadan she was induced to deliver a premature baby because her blood pressure was outrageously high, the induction caused her whole body to paralyze and left her battling for her life while they operated her and removed the child…it was a dark night for us…
when they knew it was finished the referred her to uch, my only sister in-law died after she fought to stay but couldn’t anymore, didn’t even mention the baby came out dead too..omo the trauma no be here.

My heart goes out to this man and her family… RIP to this wonderful woman, you died while trying to bring a child to this world.
This reminds me of my experience. God continue to rest your soul Oreoluwa, we miss u.

Who say Government can't be sued . A full autopsy and investigation should be carried out, only God knows how many patient they have sent to the other side. If you don't have the capacity to operate, you let the patient seek help else where not commit murder.

i don't see his fault here. why why will professional doctor and nurses allow a student doctor tend to a pregnant woman alone? the doctors. and hospital should be sued for incompetence and negligence

This is total negligence from the management of that hospital. How can they put a student doctor on call unsupervised?
The student doctor himself should have called his superiors immediately things got out of hand.
Either way, the student doctor should end in career early (and probably end up in jail) while the CMD may be due for retirement. Heads must roll for this kind of mistake.
Get a lawyer on this case ASAP, govt can be sued!
Sorry for your loss. Mat you find comfort and joy from the baby.

Nigeria never cease to amaze me😌

Make dem give u d student doctor address nah

Live wasted and lost for absolutely no reason chai.

Something than could have been prevented.


Why should I be frowned upon and called unpatriotic when I say Nigeria is a gigantic Zoo with many uncivilized animals?

olasaad:

A private hospital with qualified doctors.

Private hospitals have killed more people.

From pregnancy to womb removal to kidney failure to death. At the end, he was forced to pay 600k. I swear I am not understanding this shit.

Sorry my brother.
May God comfort you and baby

Eh eh dem don dey use real human being du testing now....

Sometimes, they encourage You to pray, but you say there is no God anywhere and that there is nothing like evil forces.

May we not be Unfortunate in this Life ooo.

RIP to the Wife and Condolences to the Man.

Let's hope that the Government can do something about the issue.

101 ways to die inNigeria.

No wonder we have one of the lowest life expectancy in the world .

He should sue the hospital for negligence.

May God rest her soul and grant the babe the wisdom to excel in life.

That's a painful one .

Losing a wife in childbirth.

Not to childbirth, but to the incompetence of some scums.

Report them to Nigeria medical association, they risk having their license revoked.

Sue their asses.

Yes, state government is involved, but the state controls only one court, the high court, should they manipulate it at that level, you still have two more that is outside of their reach.

Sad

Whenever I see things happening in d health system, i always shake my head bcs d system is so rotten that very soon we would be left with nurses to attend to us.
D experienced ones are no longer in Nigeria, we are only left in d mercy of nurses and inexperienced doctors.
I week for d future of dis country is urgent attention is not giving.

This is really painful, I just wished the government could invest more in our health sector to prevent such things from occurring. But they will prefer going over to overseas to have good medical care,sorry for the loss. I hope he is not one of Buhari supporters or one of those hailing the APC.
