Doctor’s Negligence Cost The Life Of A Small Boy In Lagos

A mother has narrated how she lost her son because of the negligence of the Doctor and other medical practitioners in the hospital.

According to the woman, her son was convulsing, she rushed him to the hospital but after the admission by the nurses, she was told that the doctor who was on night duty was not around. They tried calling his line but it was unavailable, they had to just put him on oxygen as he was finding it very difficult to breathe on his own.

The doctor finally made an appearance after two hours stay in the hospital but was nonchalant about the emergency and kept insisting that he has to go for prayers because he’s Muslim.

He wrote down all that the mother needs to buy and went for his prayers, came back later and told the mother that there was no bed to admit to the boy.

Unfortunately, the boy died at exactly 10:00 am after he was brought in by 3:00 am.

The negligence of the doctor and the general hospital cost the life of a little boy.
