A trip to any Nigerian hospital is a close shave with death. Nigerians believe more in "packaging" than professionalism. Beautiful edifices alone do not make a good hospital. Nigeria happened to her and her family. Propofol shouldn't be administered to anyone not on mechanical ventilation. If and when used, it is prior to immediate intubation preparatory for artificial ventilation.

Like I always point out, there is a reason why there are more than 20 mortuaries along the highway from Okigwe - Port-Harcourt. Death seems more profitable than saving lives.

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

joseph1832:
Well, all I can say is, Nigeria didn't happen to you, Ms Adichie, one idiot let his nonchalant attitude happen to you. So, sue him and the hospital.

Flangelo12:
Quack.

No need engaging you.
You are not a medical doctor so you don't understand the ethics of the profession

frog12:
all these kwe kwe new hospitals in Lekki. she went to the wrong hospitals.
there are top class hospitals there like duchess and reddington.

even those ones have kwekwe doctors. nigerian young doctors are just too careless.

MerchantMNT:
Not necessarily.

I had an unfortunate experience at Randle hospital, Surulere, in 2018. Someone with a gunshot wound was unattended to until he died

It's painful to lose a loved one, take heart. I know how angry she is, but know that some things are unexplainable.

It may seem like neglect, but somethings are unexplainable. Don't dwell on it so much.

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

thecommunist:
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 .

Camberlo:
So sorry sister 😞

But take it as an act of God and don't allow the anesthesiologist lost his/her job because of your case.

May God comfort you in this trying moment.

I lost a twin babies on the 10 of December and it was devastating and sad to me and the mother 😭

Flangelo12:
There is no ethic that stops you from treating your child.

You can claim if it's not your specialisation you avoid treating but claiming its out of ethics.

Quack.

thesicilian:
It's a very sad situation to be in, losing one's child.

From everything she's saying, it seems there's someone working in the hospital feeding them with inside information which may or may not be correct.

The child's death could be due to negligence on the part of the hospital, he could also still have died if it was in the US. Only an autopsy can save that anaesthesiologist now.

folake4u:
This is really sad.

Many people usually say "Have money and you'd enjoy Nigeria" but even the rich aren't left out.

My condolences to her. It is not easy to lose a loved one, particularly one's child.

PotatoSalad:
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.

LordIsaac:
Pray you are not "responsible" for some people's welfare at any level, they can end your existence. The rich can be very brutal o.

Flangelo12:
Isn't her husband a medical doctor?

ElevationD:
That freestuff guy can now see clearly what happened. Hopefully he can redeem himself after that his comment a couple of days ago over the matter.

We have negligent medical personnel all over the world. However our case in our country needs special attention. Just imagine trusting a baby in the precarious situation, in a very costly private clinic, then negligence on the part of the personnel cost the child’s life.

For some couples, it is easy to have children naturally. When they lose their children, the easily replace despite their pain. For those who pass through any form of assisted conception, the loss of the baby is a far worse pain. This couple passes through a very heavy pain, seeing their struggles end just like that.

May they be comforted.

What happened to you? Togo or Ghana?

Tunaji:
This was a high drama!
I sympathise with Ms Adichi for her loss, but she loves drama, that's simple!

septicaemia is a bread and butter of medical practice in Nigeria.
Why would use ask that a one year old with sepsis should undergo an MRI for sepsis to ri olorun and why would you put him on propofol anaesthesia because of co-operation with MRI. Certain procedures are very unnecessary.

She should have just consulted a bread-and-butter peadiatrician rather than going to a hospital that is just marketing their name. Lumbar puncture for CSF for both virus and bacteria, blood culture, throat swab and a common xray would have done the magic in this case rather attempting to do a cranial MRI for a one year old - to achieve what exactly?

I am sorry for her loss once again but she should not spoil Nigeria's name with this bad news. The point is according to the CBN, medical tourism is reducing with more Nigerians choosing to assess healthcare at home (does Adichi have a plan with Axamansard for example?). Far more and more Nigerians are assessing healthcare in Nigeria and foreigners have started coming back to assess care in Nigeria. Chimamanda should please mourn privately, let alone the child name sounded Nmandi Kanu-ish.
