Balogun on phone who “ instructed that a particular injection be administered on my husband to ease the pains and said that they should observe him till the next morning.”She alleged that the doctor later “ told me that my husband would be fine; he asked me to take my husband home and bring him the following morning.”“About 15 minutes after we got home, my husband said he felt like throwing up. I brought a bowl for him and he vomited and felt a bit better . He slept for sometime and later got up in an excruciating pain. Immediately, I jumped into my clothes and then called Dr . Balogun to say that we are on our way back to the hospital. He said no problem that the doctor will be waiting for me … a senior surgeon ,” she alleged.According to her, the doctor never came , as the doctor on call , whom they had been dealing with from the onset , continued to take instructions from him on phone until her husband’ s death.Alleging that her husband passed away because there was no competent hand to attend to him , she accused the hospital of failing “ to refer my husband to another hospital in good time, in order for him to get the best treatment he deserved. The post “I gave you a part of me, a kidney, 2 years later you died from what shouldn’t kill you” – Sister of Late Nigerian broadcaster Chaz B, mourns appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
