With the rate at which little boys and girls are involved in kidnapping currently, Nigeria will not survive another 4 years if we don't get a good leader next election.
A doctor in a hospital prescribed drugs to a lady that came for minor health issue. The drugs damaged her bones and till date, she can't walk after a failed hip replacement surgery. Went back to the hospital to hold someone accountable and the hospital denied knowing her.
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, who recently lost her 21-month-old son, has released a statement detailing the circumstances surrounding his death.
ARISE News reached out to Adichieโs media team, who confirmed that she did author the statement. According to her representatives, the message was originally sent privately to family members and a few close friends.
"My son would be alive today if not for an incident at Euracare Hospital on January 6th.
We were in Lagos for Christmas. Nkanu had what we first thought was just a cold, but soon turned into a very serious infection and he was admitted to Atlantis hospital.
He was to travel to the US the next day, January 7th, accompanied by Travelling Doctors. A team at Johns Hopkins was waiting to receive him in Baltimore. The Hopkins team had asked for a lumbar puncture test and an MRI. The Nigerian team had also decided to put in a 'central line' (used to administer iv medications) in preparation for Nkanu's flight. Atlantis hospital referred us to Euracare Hospital, which was said to be the best place to have the procedures done.
The morning of the 6th, we left Atlantis hospital for Euracare, Nkanu carried in his father's arms. We were told he would need to be sedated to prevent him from moving during the MRI and the 'central line' procedure.
I was waiting just outside the theater. I saw people, including Dr M, rushing into the theater and immediately knew something had happened.
A short time later, Dr M came out and told me Nkanu had been given too much propofol by the anesthesiologist, had become unresponsive and was quickly resuscitated. But suddenly Nkanu was on a ventilator, he was intubated and placed in the ICU. The next thing I heard was that he had seizures. Cardiac arrest. All these had never happened before. Some hours later, Nkanu was gone
It turns out that Nkanu was NEVER monitored after being given too much propofol. The anesthesiologist had just casually carried Nkanu on his shoulder to the theater, so nobody knows when exactly Nkanu became unresponsive.
How can you sedate a sick child and neglect to monitor him? Later, after the 'central line' procedure, the anesthesiologist casually switched off Nkanu's oxygen and again decided to carry him on his shoulder to the ICU!
The anesthesiologist was CRIMINALLY negligent. He was fatally casual and careless with the precious life of a child. No proper protocol was followed.
We brought in a child who was unwell but stable and scheduled to travel the next day. We came to conduct basic procedures. And suddenly, our beautiful little boy was gone forever. It is like living your worst nightmare. I will never survive the loss of my child.
We have now heard about two previous cases of this same anesthesiologist overdosing children. Why did Euracare allow him to keep working? This must never happen to another child".
@yabaleftonline He posted his wedding invitation with his pregnant fiance on his status after 8months of dating. I confronted him and he told me the universe told him otherwise.
Guys please my cousinโs kid has been missing since 14th of December, last seen in epe area of Lagos, please please help retweet ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป
Doctors need to stop doing this, it is not okay. It causes medication errors and the danger it poses to everyone involved (especially patients) is alarming! I can actually understand what he wrote, but itโs still so annoying.
Hello everyone, my brother went missing 7 days ago in Isoko LGA, Delta state.
