Dat sawyer na real medical terrorist..he just came to spread d EVD but God pass am..

It just goes to show his real intent. Thank God those guys saved the day

Last Wednesday, former
Anambra State governor, Mr.
Peter Obi, joined the growing
number of eminent Nigerians
going over to thank Dr.
Benjamin Ohiaeri and his team
of medical professionals at
First Consultant Hospital for
their clear sense of heroism,
patriotism and professionalism.
He also commended Governor
Fashola for his efforts, noting
that “he scored high marks” in
all he did during the trying
time and for visiting the
hospital, thereafter.

After the traditional exchange
of greetings, Obi told his host
that “yesterday when I came
into town, I attended a function
where I made up mind that I
was going to visit our friends at
First Consultant Hospital and
hear their story. So much has
happened to you in the past
months and you just have to
tell your story to the world. If
you don’t, you will be like a
man who lit his candle and put
it under the bed. You are the
man who has borne enormous
burden for the country.”

When Ohiaeri began to speak,
his voice betrayed a man still
in the grip of pain and anguish.
His words too were as cold as
ice, which could taw every
heart.

“Thank you for coming here ,
Sir,” he began. “The events of
the past months have been
very overwhelming, to say the
least. I have refrained from
speaking all these while
because I wanted to tell my
story is a sequential manner,”
he said.

Taking a deep breath, he
continued: “We have lost a lot
of things – our laundry,
cleaning, laboratory, nursing,
monitoring line; name it. But
none of these compares to our
human resource losses. When
people come here and ask me
how much equipment we have
lost, I say to them that the
most important equipment to
me are the people.

“I recall that some of my
colleagues with whom we took
decision together are now late,
l cannot understand it. I
wonder why am still alive and
not dead? I wonder why the
dead are not like me.

“Here in Lagos, we lost seven
people as a result of Mr.
Sawyer’s bioterrorism and four
of such deaths were staff of
First Consultant Hospital. That
means that we bore the brunt
of the disaster for the country.

“Look at Dr. Adadevo, for
instance. Here was a doctor
who used to take care of me
because I’m hypertensive. She
used to give me my drugs
weekly. But before this Ebola
experience, she gave me a
dosage that was to last me for
one month. Then I said to her,
‘it is like I have graduated now
to taking one month dose’ and
we laughed over it. She had
her son in this hospital and I
was the one who took the
delivery.

“Look at Dr. Abaniwo, who died
before Dr. Adadevo. He was
with us for four years. He
contracted the virus when he
went over to intervene when
Mr. Sawyer was harassing Dr.
Adadevo at a time he (Sawyer)
had become angry and restive.
That was how we got into this.

“Evelyn was a widow and a
nurse with four children – very
humble, loyal and diligent. She
was with us when Dr. Adadevo
was delivered of her baby. She
was the first person who
welcomed Mr. Sawyer. She was
part of this institution. Her
death was heartbreak. It was
total devastation. Soon after
her death, the landlord threw
her children out of their home.
And we are doing all we can to
take care of them. We have got
them and accommodation and
they have settled in.

“For Dr. Adadevo, she worked
with me for 21 years. She was
a smart professional who I took
as my number one person.
Look at this lady here (pointing
at Dr. Ada Igonoh who survived
the epidemic), I have adopted
her as my daughter. She
started work here on July 1,
2014, 20 days before the
arrival of Mr. Sawyer. It was Dr.
Adadevo who brought her
here. At the isolation centre,
she was two beds away from
Dr. Adadevo. Yet, she was the
one monitoring everyone in
the hospital and giving us
reports on hourly basis. That
helped us to know what
packages to bring to them and
every line of action to take. In
fact, it was right in her arms
that our own late Justina died.”

The coming of Sawyer to
the hospital

Recalling the how the late
Sawyer brought the virus to
the hospital and the country,
he said: “When the gentleman
was brought in here, he said
he had malaria. We ran a
series of test, which confirmed
that he was malaria positive.
Every other thing was normal.
Twenty-four hours later, he
wasn’t any better. By Tuesday,
he was already having
hemorrhagic symptoms – blood
in his urine and eyes. That was
how the alarm bell started ringing.

“It was at that point that Dr.
Adadevo started suspecting
the man must be having either
Ebola or Lassa fever disease,
more so when he was from
Liberia. Then, we decided to
question, to know whether he
had had contact with any Ebola
patient, but he denied that.

“For us as a people, that was
the first time we were having
such challenge. So we took his
blood sample and sent to
University of Lagos Teaching
Hospital (LUTH), but the result
was that it was a ‘signal.’

“Suspecting that he had Ebola,
we notified him that we had to
test him for the disease. Then
he didn’t bother. But when told
that we weren’t going to let
him go, he went bananas. He
refuse further medical care
and demanded that we
discharged him and that we
should sign the paper
indicating that he left hospital
against doctors’ advice. Then,
we decided to send his blood
sample to Senegal, to the
centre the US set up.

“When he was uncooperative,
one of the doctor, who later
died, went to his room to ask
him why he was behaving that
way, reminding him that we
were trying to help him.”

Liberian ambassador to
Nigerian came to the
picture

“Shortly after, Liberian
ambassador to Nigeria, certain
Ambassador Conte, came into
the matter. He insisted Mr.
Sawyer must be released to
proceed to Calabar because he
had an import role to play
there. He said if it were
because of the money, he
would put more than enough
on the table. But I was
unyielding. He then started
howling: ‘What sort of doctor
are you. You are arrogant.
Don’t you know that you are
infringing on this man’s
fundamental human rights?’ I
told him ‘with due respect, Sir,
we won’t let him go. He may
have the right to demand to
leave the hospital, against
medical advice, but I was
relying on Superior Provision of
the law to decline the request
for the good of the public. The
ambassador said he was
coming to the hospital to
personally take Sawyer away
himself.

“That whole 24 hours of
waiting for the result was for
us, like a stay in limbo. At that
point, we knew we had a legal
trouble in our hands. What if
the test came back and the
man was Ebola negative? So
we contacted our lawyers. We
told them that we were taking
a risk, but we trusted in the
judgment of our physician.

“But after the test confirmed
that Mr. Sawyer was Ebola
positive, Ambassador Conte
was no longer calling us.
Rather he was contacting
Professor Abulsalam Nasidi. He
didn’t bother to come back to
us.”

Ohiaeri recalled that he
advised Dr. Adadevo to
proceed to the isolation centre
in Yaba, Lagos for the Ebola
test, even when she said she
felt okay. The test later
confirmed that she was Ebola
positive.


So sad. Those guys are real heroes. Source:[url]sunnewsonline.com/new/?p=85396[/url]

My Naija brodas and sisters!!! Una too like mystery. Akeem worked with MIC caskets so it was only normal for him to reflect on his life whenever he was involved in someone's burial. The fact that they were going to bury a prominent person like Agagu was enough to make him reflect and write what he did. Make una no begin add 1 + 1 to give 4 oooo. RIP Akeem

Thank God for privatisation. New and better transformers are on their way. She can book one to hug. Mstcheeeew
