situation of the place, I was almost crying.

Many don't...I once worked for a doctor who treated first, asked for police report later.

Also,armed robbers do have health workers that collaborate with them...that was why the concept of police report arose.

I lost my frd 2017. We went for swimming in a pool and he got drowned. He was rush to the hospital still weak. They ask us to go get police report. We went to the police station, police still ask us to write statement; pay money, and fuel their car. By the time finished all these process, we arrived at the hospital only for the nurses to point thesame he was kept outside telling us he's death. Nobody attended to him. Truly Nigeria is a hoak

SmartPolician:
Health workers in government hospitals, I am sorry to say, are the most frustrated humans I have ever met.

sylve11:
Health workers, just like bankers, often act like they think they have control over your entire life!

Some of them yeye and no amount of sermon fit change them.

There isn't enough information to go by
1.How long was he underwater?
2.Which hospital did he go to?
3.What was his coma score?
4.Any other injury?

It's likely he was already dead before he got to the hospital, or very close to. There are cases where nothing can be done.

Had a patient once, bleed in brain. Called neurosurgeon who asked me to do a basic examination. Pupils fixed , pinpoint. Guy told me to tell the patient relatives it was too late. Patient died 2 days later.

saintbillion:
At least u attended to him.

nairalanda1:
You also don't know if they attended to your patient because by your own words you were running around looking for police report.

Also, drowning cases...are dependent on how long the person has been in the water...and other factors which is why I asked the questions there.

Baba it seems like u also doing same thing cause i don't know y u keepon countering me as if u were there. I'm telling u they didn't make any attempt at all, not even for them to refer us to the emergency ward. Na for passage them leave us. When we told them he drown. No examinations, infact they told us doctor is not around. That we should go amd bring doctors report. He died at that hospital. Who does that in other countries?

nairalanda1:
But were you there? No, you said you were away looking for police report.

Also, it is possible there was no chance of recovery. Drowning no be easy thing to recover from sometimes.

That's why I asked you the questions in my post
And if doctor is not around, why not take him to another hospital?

Plus you no tell us the name and type of hospital you went to and police report. Who needs police report for a drowning case? Was he an arm robber

saintbillion:
Who abandoned his or her patient in a hospital without someone monitoring the person? And perhaps, they only ask of police report, they never said they won't attend to him. His sister was there with him. We thought police report will won't take us up to 10 mins. But the police station kept us waiting for more than 5hours and still asked us to pay them and fuel thier car. Man stop supporting evil. I'm not the only one who talking about how Nigerian hospitalals and doctors have kill their love ones due to negligence.
