A grieving man has gone online to accuse a hospital of causing his wife's d£@th due to medical negligence and gross incompetence.
The grieving husband took to Instagram to narrate how his wife was booked for a cesarean section on October 29, but the events that followed ultimately resulted in her death on October 30.
She leaves behind a daughter and her newborn son.
He shared a photo of his late wife and wrote: "Island maternity took my wife's life due to incompetence and stupidity.
"My wife was scheduled for a CS on the 29th of October 2024. That morning we arrived the hospital and were booked. I made payments for everything including delivery of 2 pints of -ve O blood. She was the 3rd person booked for the day. The first 3 people stayed an average of 30 minutes in the theatre before both baby and mother where brought out.
"When it was her turn after 3 people, she was wheeled into the theatre. About 15 minutes later my son was brought out and shown to me. 12:26pm. A pretty baby boy.
"I expected my wife would be out in the next 15 but a nurse came to meet me that they needed me to source for more blood because there's fibroid in my wife's womb blocking the pathway to stitch the womb and they cut it off hence the delay. 'Cut it off'? Who asked for them to cut it off?
"They asked me to go get 2 more pints of blood (NB: this blood is not just easy to get). Luckily for me I made calls and we got the 2 pints.
"They brought her out, hooked intravenous thingies on her and stuff. A few hours passed. Nurse asked me to go get Rogham from the pharmacy.
"While I was there I got a call from my BIL that my wife was being rushed into the theatre again. On rushing back the nurse told me her tummy was swelling due to blood accumulation and they had to take her in for emergency surgery. My BIL told me my wife complained of difficulty breathing. They had already gotten my BIL to sign a form for complete removal of her uterus.
"After more than 30 minutes she was brought out and wheeled to the ICU where she struggled for her life. I had to rally for 4 more pints of blood which included renting the hospital ambulance all the way to gbagada and then yaba to get blood plasma then getting 4 more pints of blood ( they even had to use o+ blood) from wherever we could get from.
"3:00am She was on the 7th pint when she went into cardiac arrest and never made it back.
"My wife died due to the hospitals incompetence because I they had informed me about carrying out a fibroid operation with CS I would have told them not to.
"I need lawyers who are willing to help us on a litigation against this hospital."
