Well, it's not really shocking. Worse things have been done by our doctors to their patients. Twitter user @Elijahbalogun12 reports a case of a
woman who suffered medical negligence in a hospital along
Egbeda-Akowonjo road. Apparently, this woman had a caesarian operation
done at the hospital and the doctors forgot a pad inside her. When the woman
figured it out, she stormed the hospital and they treated her coldly. Read the rest of the tweet after the cut...
Same thing happened in general hospital warri,d patient was left wit no option dan to run to private hospital for another operation,our Nigeria medical doctors are so unprofessional. Smh
ReplyDeleteHow quickly d op n everyone believe whatever they hear without verification.
DeleteA pad was left in her body after a cs jus 2 days ago n she was able to engage in a shouting match n had to be ' dragged ''out of the office.
Secondly how did she know a pad was left inside her body. ..
I can tell u that if a pad was really left in her body, she won't be able to stand talkless of shouting. ..
Linda pls try to verify somethings before posting. ...
Don't understand the crazy hate for drs...

So sorry for her. But she needs to sue the hospital, together with the doctor so that the law will take its course on them.
ReplyDeleteHow can ? Forget a pad inside a woman. As big as a pad is? 9ja doctors are crazy and all under qualified.
ReplyDeleteStupid doctors...it takes time to actually sew up a patient during surgery..

ReplyDeleteHmmmmmmm, hw d she knw dat it was pad dat d doctor forgot in her body??? D manner and way she might hav approach d doctor must hav made d doctor acted d way he d.
ReplyDeleteThere is no justification thereof 4d doctor to act d way he d. All d same "Two wrong's can not mak a right". God help us.
There's no excuse at all for leaving a pad in the woman. Even if it was d tiniest thing dat was left she had every reason to approach the way she did. The doctor from d foregoing is in breach of a list medical ethics...and her license needs to be revoked... I mean this woman may have died if she didnt detect it in time.

Elijah, it's irresponsible to tell a story based on assumption. A woman that had a c/s won't be barging into a doctors office two days after. Get your facts before blacklisting people. Well Linda count yourself lucky you didn't mention names. You could be sued. Please get facts before publishing.

ReplyDeleteCrystal hospital....rubbish hospital....who still goes dere...ewww
ReplyDeleteFor real? How did she discover it after 2 days, did she do a scan? A woman who just had a CS will still be on drip in bed and not on her feet. This story somehow doesn't add up.

Elijah PLEASE give us a name because I use a hospital along that axis. You might just be saving someone's life.
ReplyDeleteI doubt this story to be true. If the lady had only been operated on two days before, it is physically impossible for her to be storming in to the doctor's office when she ought to be on bedrest to heal.
ReplyDeletehow was the pad discovered? how did she know that a pad was left inside her? what if she is just trying to black-mail the hospital or the doctor? is it possible to discharge a patient after 2days of cs? common, you don't always have to draw a conclusion when you see issues like this, beside why is it that it was the husband that was dragging her out instead of also fighting the doctor? please, people should just be very mindful of how they reach conclusions on issues, always try to gather all available facts before you judge.
ReplyDeleteThat was how they forgot a scissors in someone's abdomen .I wonder if some of the Doctors go into the theatre heavily drunk or something.But you cant gamble with someones life like that na.Its a shame

DeleteThese people don't deserve to be called doctors... That was how I lost my big uncle cos of their wickedness and nonchalant attitude. They don't value lives. They don't know what it means for someone you love to die. A lot of them God will require blood from their hands. Lagos state university teaching hospital is nothing but a den of killers. Nothing will make me or any of my loved ones go near that hospital or any general hospital. They made my cousins fatherless and my aunt a widow. Very heartless set of people. He was begging to be treated, they prescribed twice, the same set of drugs for us to buy and which we did. They were just moving up and down refusing to treat him until he gave up the struggle with pain.He died painfully.
ReplyDeleteY didn't u move ur uncle to another hospital? Abi dem tie am rope put for there...rubbish. ..
DeleteU go talk say u no pay hospital bill abi u think say hospital na charity organisation. ..mbok
Wonders shall neva end
ReplyDeleteTo start with, I am not in anyway condoning the behaviour of the medical personnel in this case but please let's not be ignorant. A woman that had CS cannot be prancing around 2 days later ranting that they left a pad in her. A woman that has normal uncomplicated CS surgery is still bed bound by the 3rd day in most cases. I assure you that anyone who has had a major surgery where a pad was forgotten in him/her cannot be up and about. That person will likely be very sick and incapacitated with the medical personnel struggling to know what is causing the severe infection in his/her body/blood stream. I am sure that is why the doctor kicked her out of the office because her accusation of a pad left in her 2 days earlier just makes no sense!!!
ReplyDeleteThe doctors licensed should be revoked. oh i forgot,this is Nigeria where anything goes. Imagine she had the effrontery to defend herself.
ReplyDeleteMy aunt died last week after one month of child birth due to the lapse on the part of the doctors that performed the operation. May her soul rest in peace.
In the midst of it all, we have good and compassionate doctors.
Possible? Yes; I've heard reliable reports of it happening.
ReplyDeleteBut here's the question:
How would she know a pad was left behind in two days ago?
CS operations are performed under general anesthesia in Nigeria.
And if a doctor left a pad inside your abdomen, how would you know?Did you cut yourself open to check?
And women who were operated on in a cesarean section are not
vigorous movers two days later; they may not have started even eating solid food, and would almost certainly still be on admission.
So the circumstances of this smells quite fishy to me.

ReplyDeleteThe fact that he was in severe pain makes me suspect that ur uncle prpbably had advanced cancer. Even the western world have not been able to appropriately manage cancer pain so unless u tell me that he had something like malaria, u have not made a point.
DeleteSchool d man pls anonymous 12 11
DeleteHow is dat possible please? After the CS I believe they closed her up, so how in hell did she see a pad dat was inside her abdominal region so to speak?! And den at d end of every surgery,they count the number of "pads" used, if it's not complete, they'll open d patient up to look for it, at least dats wat they do in teaching hospitals

ReplyDeleteQuite interesting, but how do we address this issue? How do we make the medical professionals accountable for their mistakes? A very close friend of mine had similar experience.
ReplyDeleteThat's too bad, many of the so-called doctors are in it for the money, to think the left a whole theater scrub inside her... Chai.. Hmmm
ReplyDeleteIt's been happening for long, it happened to my aunt over 20 yrs ago. They actually left a cotton ball in her, she started oozing, took so long for them to finally figure it out. Thank goodness she didn't die. That woman has a good case, if only she knew

Don't get me wrong,doctors make mistakes no doubt bt then y'all shouldn't come calling for their head all because a dude named elijah said something we can't even verify

ReplyDeletePls Elijah, produce the name of the hospital and il personally forward a petition against them to the medical board of nigeria. Awon oloriburuku. That is how they killed Aishat Mustapha.if the hosps they went to had attended to her, dat lady would still be alive. *hiss*
ReplyDeleteOh pls just shut up.
DeleteDon't bring the aishats name in2 this *may her soul rip*
Before u spew trash make sure uv got ur facts right or u were there @d scene.
Iff what elijah's saying ends up becoming the truth then indeed such hospital should be sanctioned bt b4 den we'all should find out the truth first b4 shouting SUE
Ok so it wasn't d stab wounds dt killed poor aishat it ws d doctor/doctors dt asked that she b taken to a better centre cos dia facility cudnt handle d nature of her injuries?very typical of nigerians,very quick to blame d doctor...use so ignorant n it's pathetic,i blame linda for publishing ds nonsense just bcos deres no gist to post,I blame social media too,for giving voice to even d daft
DeleteMz tea stop displaying ur dumbness in public naaa
Deletewhat the fuck???
ReplyDeletenow, this story sounds funny because how does a person open up her uterus after a caesarian section to find a pad? im guessing she had a pad put in her veejay to help mop up blood and she was discharged like that. Now, its not a doctor's job to remove soaked pads , and why didnt she complain when she was being discharged?. this is not a complete story basically.
ReplyDeleteGod pls save ur children from d hands of d wicked...Some Doctors can b unprofessional at tyms
ReplyDeleteSome medical personnel are not just fit for the profession, this same thing happened to my wife, she gave birth and the silly people left a pad in her and she was in pain for 5days before we discovered why she was crying, we were lucky cos it was her second time of giving birth so she figured it was usual cos the first birth was similar to the second but without the pain.
ReplyDeleteInteresting story. Your wife is so wise.
DeleteNonsense! Issues like this should be properly investigated before being published. The facts don't add up at all. How did she discover the pad???? FYI doctors don't discharge patient 2 days post CS. Earliest is about 5 days. I doubt if a 2 days postoperative patient would have the energies to barge into a doctor's office. The pad was most likely a vaginal pad which is normally put after a vaginal or abdominal delivery to monitor bleeding. Please always get your facts right
ReplyDeleteThat's how my younger sister was given an overdose of a psychiatric drug and her tongue stuck out when the doctor was called upon! He asked them to discharge her and refused coming back to do something until she was rushed to another hospital and God so kind she survived. May God help our healthcare system in Nig
ReplyDeleteHhmmm, really sad but it happens here in Nigeria. Rubbish hospitals and doctors, mtsheeew! I personally experienced something like that at R.JOLAD hosp. Gbagada/new garage almost 2yrs ago.
ReplyDeleteAbout 2months after a CS operation, i found out they used a wrong CATGUT for the operation *its the thread used to stitch during an operation, that is naturally degraded by the body's own proteolytic enzymes. Absorption is complete by 90 days, and full tensile strength remains.
But since a wrong CATGUT was used, my suture got infected and started eating out. I changed hospital, had to undergo another operation, altho minor but painful still, and seriessssss of anti-biotics and wound dressing. Took me 7months to heal.
This experience happened to all surgical patients treated at the hosp. for the month of June and July 2013.
They said its a bad batch supplied to them. They apologised VERBALLY, took down our numbers and promised to call but they never did. I didn't follow up, never went back and would NEVER refer someone with an ordinary common cold there. SAD!
All u dr haters,abeg go and get ur facts right.linda stop publishing rubbish story cos u dey find gist.dnt spoil my love for ur blog
ReplyDeleteAm curiou as to how the woman knew there was a pad in her stomach???
ReplyDeletewomders they say shall neva end.
ReplyDeleteI think we should not conclude anything based on this half information. You can never say never,what of if that wasn't the real thing that happened. I don't think doctor will act that rude if she really made that grave mistake. The man reporting this issue has no clue on what transpired. It should be investigated though.
ReplyDeleteThings we hear....
ReplyDeleteHealth Care in Nigeria is just a joke, dts hw on Monday we rushed my friends mom to the general hospital close by, she was struggling to breathe, the first hospital we went to told us to take her to the general hospital, *wonder why dey couldn't hv js checked her, d nurse took one look at her and told us to be on our way* she gave us no hope at all.. finally getting to the general hospital, the major entrance that was free frm traffic was locked, we had to pass directly in front of d hospital to connect the next route that would take us to the other entrance, and behold, we were caught in "rush hour traffic" the entire time we spent in traffic just a few meters away frm the hospital entrance was more than the time we spent coming frm home and stopping at the first hospital, then I taught to my self, if in Lagos a lane is reserved for BRT buses why can't one be opened for emergency right in front of government hospitals, secondly, the hospital management well aware of the traffic situation on the other road with d opened entrance, should have left the major entrance open till traffic clears on the other route. After all efforts to get her to the hospital, we sent the eldest daughter ahead to inform those at the emergency unit of what was coming thier way, arriving at d emergency/casualty unit we were met by, no doctors, no nurses, no stretcher, not even any one to help lift her out the car, after a few minutes of waiting, we carried her out of the car and dey instructed we lay her down on d sits where patients wait to be attended to, then a nonchalant doctor steps out and after checking pronounces her dead, God rest her soul. As if that wasn't enough she was just lying there while the nurses at the reception looked away as if nothing had happend they were tlking politics not bothered about the corpse js lying peacefully in front of them.....Ive never seen people so indiscplined and unprofessional about their duties, and they say they are supposed to save lives....Then I ask myslf what is the worth of a Nigerian Life. That death means nothing even to those in a hospital, No remorse or sad feeling towards losing a life. "Doctors should know it's not alwys about money" else they don't knw what dey signed up for... Then What single thing does one benefit from being a Nigerian? Rest In Peace Ma, may God forgive all ur short comings... God bless the dead.
ReplyDeleteThat is a liar from the pit of hell,as a professional nurse,i know that a caeserian section patient cannot on her own discovered that a pad was left inside of her after 2days of surgery and pad is not used to operate. I advised this fellow to always think before talking cause we are not all novice.

ReplyDeleteMy people are so ignorant but will jump on the bandwagon like they know so much. Spewing absolute trash with such unrivalled confidence!!!
ReplyDeleteIn no way will the woman have been aware that a swab was left in her abdomen ("tummy') without having had another abdominal surgery or an imaging investigation done.
In this particular case, at most, a swab may have been used to clean the vagina after the completion of surgery and left there by mistake (in the vagina like a tampon; and this should not happen ideally) or a pad was put over the vagina to absorb the normal lochia (post delivery blood).
Why go into the hospital screaming like a raving banshee to get her point across? The problem with us in Nigeria is that we think we have to scream/shout/rave like a lunatic to make others fear us as we try to get our point or anger across!!
I do not blame the doctor for chasing them out. They can bring back their grouse in a civilised manner and be heard appropriately!
Anonymous - that referred to sister's tongue sticking out after a antipsychotic drug was given.
ReplyDeleteThat is a known side effect of antipsychotics. Look up acute dystonic reaction and extrapyramidal effects!
And, the main treatment is to withhold the culprit drug. Rarely a fatal side effect, so she never would have died anyway!
Mo - sorry about your unfortunate infection but it was never the CATGUT! True that suture is now out of fashion as technology as moved on with newer and better tensile strength sutures. You would have had the infection and wound breakdown even if monocryl/prolene/Vicryl etc was used. Bigger and more significant factors at play (sterility of instruments/surgeon(s), your immunity, bacteria YOU may already carry on your own body, obesity etc) with keeping a wound infection free than the type of suture used.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 1246pm - Sorry about your friend's mum!
ReplyDeleteIf it was a private hospital you took her to in the first instance, the hospital would not want to add to their mortality statistics when they can see she is almost at the point of death. Any intervention at that point in time may not have altered the outcome. And the way Nigeria works (as you can see on this particular thread), the hospital's name is dragged in mud despite their best efforts. Hence, the request to take her to a government hospital.
We are our own worst enemy!
Alot of people have pointed out that something is wrong with this report, there is no sense it. so pls spare doctors of ur parades of abuse. SOMEONE SAID GA IS USED FOR CS IN NIG, FOR THE RECORD, ITS REGIONAL ANAESTHESIA. Ignorance is disease!!!
ReplyDeleteNigeria..
ReplyDeletedamn! not cool
ReplyDeleteDifficult to comment but the most important thing is to find out how it occurred, treat the poor woman well to prevent any further problems and an incident committee should investigate what went wrong and solutions proferred to prevent this ever happening again. Sorry for the poor treatment but i promise you guys that Nigerians can do better and are doing better all over the world. Know that it could have happened anywhere in the world. Its the response and care afterwards that matters. Take kia
ReplyDeleteDid u really find out what happened? A woman who jst gave birth through CS barged in to a hospital,how can? I believe it will take her a week to be OK. And the pad used, I believe is a vaginal pad used for women that gave birth through CS. It is jst like using a pad for menses but this will be in the vagina.
ReplyDeleteI will suggest they take the woman for psychiatric and psychological test. Also the person who posted this news should be sued for Defamation. Y shld u discredit a hospital when u don't have enof evidence on the matter.
Doctors all over the world are enemies the society can't do without. The society wants the best from them but they are not ready to support, they want best medical services in private hospitals they are not ready to pay, doctors fight for their rights, society says they are greedy and wicked, they are quick at quoting hypocratic oath out of context and one-sided, call for their heads at their slightest mistakes, smiles at them in their consulting rooms and neighbourhoods for free consultation and treatments but forget the fact that they are human and have their needs and responsibilities! Waoh! Where do we go from here? It is Godoooooooo.
