If God want him alive
He will not die

Same thing everytime. Naija.
All the good medical personnels have left this godforsaken country. The remaining ones are using people as lab subjects.

Just hope you do not have a critical hospital emergency in Nigeria now. You won't even survive to pay tax.
Your leaders don't want to put doctors and medical staff first, now everyone's leaving and they still don't care.
Enjoy what you have left.

I thought she is a US citizen or at least a green card holder, wondering why they choose a Nigerian hospital . My condolences to them .

If I tell you that this unfortunate incident can never happen in any of the General Hospitals in Lagos, you will think I am just boastful, but that is the truth. It's so sad, private hospitals are just greedy unqualified thieves extorting the people

damkin24:
You're not far from the truth. But I heard medical doctors were on full scale strike for around 11 months somewhere in Nigeria like 13 to 14 years ago.

APCNig:
.

Doctors earn more than other professionals all over the world, yet they are always on stike from Nigeria to Uk, from US to Germany. They are just a set of greedy humans. When doctors run away from Nigeria as you rightly posted, they should run with their parents, their siblings, their relatives and friends, because it is only Juju and Voodoo "doctors" will left to treat their sick family members. What goes around, comes around

I have experienced the Eurocare hospital first hand, they are there for the money not for your health.
That hospital bills you far more than best 5 star hotels in UAE. 2 days bill at that hospital for complicated indigestion , 6m plus down the drain. Post discharge follow up test is followed with another 1.8m, we argue it and insist to see the MD to review the bill, the front desk added Consultancy fee of 150k on it again for seeing the MD.
At the end of the day the test was inconclusive and imaging another billing of 1.2m for rescheduled test. Omo that was the end of the conversation, they never called back the patient as we insist not paying for a retest they failed to make conclusively. We have to abandon them for another hospital in sam VI, who did same test and full follow up procedure for way lower amount of 500k plus.

This is saddening.

I was seriously praying that Euracare I saw in the headline wasn't a Nigerian hospital.

But alas, my fears were confirmed.

That anesthesiologist must be sued and prosecuted for manslaughter. Not just one, but two other cases?

Why did they turn off the oxygen? Were they trying to save cost in lure of patient safety?
What did they even need an MRI for?
What kind for infection were they not able to rule out with a lab test.

cucumbar:
It can never happen, because you won't even get the needed equipment and stuffs in our ill equipped general hospital in the first place.

frog12:
who told you it can never happen in the General hospitals?
they don't monitor their patients.

sonnie10:
That is not true. General hospital will not do what they did. It was all motivated by profit. The central line and MRI was very unnecessary. These are very expensive, specialized procedures that require careful close monitoring to avoid infection. Also, there are certain criteria that must be met for contrast to be administered during MRI. A child whose condition is already compromised might not meet those conditions.

They should request for the chart to see the vitals before the incident , and how they documented the changes in status during those procedures.

Nigeria has happened to her. This is exactly what happened to by baby sister December 2024, like play like play, she drove home herself, parked her car to go for the supposed minor surgery, infact when leaving, our mother who was accompaning her called me and another sibling to pray, I was like what is all this drama for someone just going for minor surgery and who should be back the same day or next? Someone looking healthy, infact you will not know she had any discomfort. Omo, my sister never returned home, likely play like play she ended up in vaults and gardens cemetery!
If only we had knew, she should have flown abroad, infact all people asked was how could you allow her have surgery in Nigeria? That these days, the most they treat locally is maleria, infact for toothache you should fly abroad! Funny thing is that the money we spent here in naija would have treated her in UK, Turkey etc.
Someone said all the good doctors worth anything have moved abroad for greener pastures, it is the leftovers available, another said an ex governor of delta state built one of the best hospitals in the country, but for headache the man flies abroad! He said look at baba seyi, Akpabio small thing they have gone to France, even wike after drinking 40year old whiskey and falls, will take off to London to flush his belle..
Imagine having access to the best available healthcare in the country, having money to spend not being and issue, yet you can still die like chicken in Nigeria, what then will you say about those that have no resources?
Hmm, to loose a child, more so in such circumstances will be a desaster for chiamanda, I know what my mama has gone through till today, I can can only play almighty God consoles her and her family, may he grant them the fortitude to bear the loss.
Nigeria happened to her.
(Nb) I actually briefed lawyers to go after that facility in Victoria island, but my siblings said we should leave, it cannot bring her back, and the years of litigation will keep bringing back bad memories.

Since it is your forgotten country, why crying that your son died here? Why would you visit forsaken?
Carry your cross. My own country Nigeria is not forgotten.
Enjoy what you have left.

sonnie10:
I don't care who requested the test. Even is it was a lung infection, an ordinary chest x-ray should have been the first line of action. Pneumonia. pneumothorax, plural effusion, are common findings on a plain film x-ray.
Stabilizing the patient should have been their uttermost priority . What was the white blood count? All these are questions that need answers.
