"MY STORY - By the husband of the deceased.
On Monday the 6th of March, my wife who was pregnant went for
anti natal at Federal Medical Center FMC Asaba, and the Doctor who she
was assign to and who has earlier confirm my wife's Expected Date of
Delivery (EDD) to be 19th March, 2017 discovered her blood pressure BP
was a little above normal, then the doctor said she will be admitted so
they can monitor her BP till the next day. When I came back from site, I
drove to the hospital to pick my wife and she told me her doctor has
said she will be admitted, I requested to see the doctor but to no
avail, so she took me to the nurses who ask if I am the husband and I
said yes.
They brought my wife anti natal file, took us to the pay point
collected ten 10 thousand Naira from me as deposit fee and after she has
paid she took us to the O and G ward were my wife was finally admitted.
I called my in-law who was already in Asaba from Imo state for her
first omukwor to came and stay with her daughter, but my wife objected
that the hospital environment may not be conducive for the mother and
that she will not be permitted to sleep inside the ward. So we stay with
her till 9pm and left as the nurses were beginning to lock the doors.
On Tuesday 7th of March, i ask my inlaw to go and join my wife
as I went to site very early. When I came back around 12noon, I rush to
the hospital to check on my wife, I met my wife passing through a severe
intense pain and her stomach was moving up and down and she was
shouting I ask her what the problem was, and she said she was INDUCED. I
didn’t know what it means to be induced because this is our first
pregnancy, but the agony my wife was going through was beyond normal so I
requested to see the Doctor all effort was futile. I was very angry,
why will they do this to my wife I ask, you told me they were admitting
her for BP. Nurses were complaining that I was disturbing the ward, they
also said my wife will soon deliver.
I had some survey plans to produce so I left to come back
later, when I came back in the evening, my wife couldn’t stand up again
from the hospital bed, the pains has increased, I insisted I was going
to talk with her. When she came out, she told me they INDUCED her the
second time. The first INDUCTION failed and the doctor, Dr. Ojenuwa
instructed she should be induced the second time. I was mad. I looked
for the doctor but he was nowhere to be found. All these were done
without my consent; I waited till 10pm if I could see the doctor but he
never showed up so I left.
The next day Wednesday 8th of March, my inlaw called me to come
immediately for my wife have been booked for emergency Cesarean
Section, and that the doctor is requesting for an astral pint of blood, I
quickly made calls to the laboratory department who helped made the
blood available before I arrive the hospital. When I got there, my wife
had already been prepared and place on top of a wheel bed. They asked me
to sign; I read and signed, prayed for my wife with my pastor who
prayed through the phone. For more than 30minute, the nurses kept
jesting and my wife was still in that pain, shouting on top of the wheel
bed. I was worried, then I ask why the delay? No answer. I kept asking
them until one man standing and talking with them got concerned and said
who is woman? This woman’s issue is more critical and urgent than the
person inside the theater. He then instructed that my wife should be
moved into the theater while the person inside should be moved out as
her case is not as serious as my wife, but the nurses refused. He
continued saying that he will not leave a serious and urgent situation
and start to work on an unserious one.
At that point, I notice the person talking is a doctor by name
Dr. Longway, who is working under the supervision of a consultant named
Dr. Maduakor who happens to be our private family doctor, Dr. Maduakor
also knows the history of the pregnancy as we have also been visiting
his private hospital from day one. When I got to know that Dr. Maduakor
is the consultant to supervise the operation from the nurses, I was
happy, I quickly called him to come that my wife is the person they were
calling him for but he never came. After 20 minutes I called him the
second time, he never came. Though finally, Dr. Longway conducted the
operation and it was very successful, I donated two pants of blood as we
were instructed during anti natal orientations.
After the surgery, my wife needed a little medical attention
and support, just like every other woman in her condition, two or three
pant of blood which I had earlier paid for, but was denied her by the
wicked Nigeria Doctors and Nurses at Federal Medical Centre, Asaba. The
doctor on duty said they were waiting for instructions from the higher
consultant Dr. Maduakor after they have informed him of the situation.
The higher consultant happens to be my family doctor but was angry
because we didn’t come to his private hospital for delivery. Yes,
because I called him on two occasions to come help the situation but he
never showed up. Therefore, the instructions never came and the junior
doctors and nurses were watching my wife till she passed on.
Early morning on Thursday, 9th march my wife called me by
4.52am to come immediately so I can help her, when I got there, she was
left alone as the wicked Nigeria doctors and nurses were all sitting
carelessly watched her struggle with the oxygen that was fixed on her
and calling for help because of her new babies . Her mother was highly
restricted from entering the ward according to FMC Asaba tradition. What
is happening? I shouted, one useless nurse shouted back, are you not
the husband? Go and pay for blood. My wife was shouting, heartbeat
please come and help me with the oxygen she was trying to push into her
nose.
I was in the middle of different decision, please put blood, I
pleaded, but they refuse that I should go and pay and bring receipt
first. Quickly rush to pay within 7 to 10minus, only to come and met my
wife lifeless……. So sad! This is after she has delivered a twin; two
beautiful girls the previous day. This is my present predicament. MY
WIFE DID NOT DIE, MY WIFE WAS KILLED by some wicked and heartless humans
who claim to be Doctors and nurses at O and G ward FMC Asaba after I
have paid for everything that was needed. This is our 9th month of
marriage; our wedding was on the 11th June, 2016."
