A clinical dietician took to Twitter hours ago, to ask if anyone knows any doctor at a General Hospital in Isolo because there was an urgent case that needed handling. She returned later to explain that the person involved has passed on and she narrated how it happened.
The medical nutritionist said the young man slumped while playing football and was rushed to the general hospital. However, the medical personnel there allegedly refused to attend to him because they feared he might have COVID-19.
She said the man was soon after declared dead, and she blamed his death on the negligence of medical professionals at the hospital.
Amaka tweeted: “The medical system failed my family friend today and I’ll never get over it.
He was said to be playing football in the field this morning and slumped and stopped breathing, he was immediately rushed to Isolo general hospital in other to get attended to fast, getting there, they refused to let him in because they said they don’t know if he has Corona virus, really?!
“His family members kept begging and begging because time was running and his wasn’t getting any better, he was still not breathing… The nurses still insisted on not attending to him, because according to them they have their plates full.
“They had to return him back to the car in and resulted to prayers. In tears, his elder sister still went back in and requested to see any doctor on duty, after so much argument a doctor came out, heard the whole story from the nurses on duty and without taking a look at him in the car or bringing him in to check him out, the doctor then certified him Dead and asked them to transfer him to the mortuary.
“His mother collapsed on the spot… This life is so unfair.”
She added that funeral plans are in motion.
