Bereaved son narrates how his mum died as a result of medical negligence and malpractice by Indian hospital

A Nigerian man has shared the medical travails that led to the painful death of his mother after what he narrated to be a case of medical negligence and practice from a hospital in India.

The young man identified as Tobi Marshal, shared his heartbreaking ordeal with members of the online community in a series of posts on micro blogging platform, Twitter.

Sharing a video post that captured a series of moments with his mum while they made several hospital trips, Marshall started off by explaining that her sickness started after she was diagnosed with degenerative lumber canal stenosis, as a result of severe back pains for almost 5 years, at Vedic Lifecare Hospital, Lagos.

According to him, the Lagos-based Indian hospital have made a reputation for themselves as being extortionists who lure Nigerians to India for surgeries pegged at outrageous sums.

Marshall explained that with a budget of N3.6 million, he and his mum flew out to India for the corrective surgery that was promised to make her better. On getting to the point of surgery at the Manipal Hospital, Bangolore, he explained that they were left surprised as the initial fee was doubled on claims that the Lagos-based hospital made a wrong diagnosis.

After completion of the surgery and being discharged on the December 4, 2018, Marshall narrated that his mum started to show signs of being unwell on December 14,2018, just a few days after she was discharged from the hospital.

This according to him, led to another round of hospital trips in which they had to part with about N600k and his mum was re-diagnosed to have a bacterial infection which resulted in her suffering multiple strokes in the brain.

At some point Marshall explained that his mum had to be admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) which cost about N500k per night. He said she spent another 9 days at the ICU, which led to more accrued bills that were dangerously on the high side.

Marshall shared further that while he was going through the challenges with his mum, the hospital in Lagos that lured them to India never made any attempt to offer any support or give a follow up to our the procedure in India was going.

Bringing his long narration to an end, Marshall shared the news that his mum finally passed away on April 14, 2019, after being diagnosed with another infection and multiple organ failure.

He finally noted that he made sure to visit a lawyer in India to seek justice for everything the hospital made them go through. To his surprise, the laywer disclosed to him that he has had similar cases of Nigerians who become stranded in India.

"Please my point here is I want to tell Nigerians that India is not safe to do surgeries and treatment they extort so much money from us and still use us as lab rats." he concluded.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...

TYPES OF DRAMA II

Comedy: We use the words 'comedy' and comic to describe something that is funny in our everyday lives. These include a joke or a fantastic story that is full of nonsense, or an absurd appearance that makes us giggle, smile or laugh. Comedy is not inherent in things or people but the way things/people are perceived. Comedy is a deliberate presentation of events/experiences drawn from real life but not the same with real life. We should therefore not expect dramatic comedy to be the same as real life. Generally, the plays have good endings or resolutions, so when a play ends happily, we refer to it as comedy. In most comedies, the principal characters begin in a state of opposition either to one another or to their world or both. By the end of the play their opposition .is replaced by harmony. Aristotle in-.his “Poetics” insisted that in tragedy men are shown “better than they are”, while in comedy “worse than they are”. For him it is an artistic imitation of men of inferi...
