eyinjuege: I have been following the process and the family witness said they conducted tests and a scan on the 27th and were referred to the specialist hospital in Oghara. The tests showed Enlarged Liver but instead of going to the refered hospital this doctor with knowledge of the report chose to treat for malaria. The doctor cannot escape liability on this. A family that can afford a family doctor and Dowen fees can't be compared with the financial capacity of market men and women. |

Black people and prayer.. Lol.. Funny how our parents think. I can imagine the unquantifiable number of deaths due to prayers and shunning medical care. For all I know, the purveyors of these mindset ie the pastors should be jointly held accountable for such avoidable deaths |

abbey621: What many of you don't seem to understand is that diseases do progress. Because the Dr saw him today doesn't mean he needed hospital admission same day. Conditions can worsen. The 2nd time the Dr saw him, he referred them to the hospital because his condition had obviously worsened. What I may fault the Dr for is if he didnt tell the parents (the first time he saw Syl) what to look out for if he gets worse and to take to the hospital and perhaps also ask them to arrange a follow up if he wasn't getting better. But then again, you don't need a Dr to tell you when your child's condition is worsening because you see it yourself. P.S: I never said bed ridden patients. I said house bound. There is a difference. All bed ridden patients are housebound, but not all housebound patients are bed ridden. Some patients are housebound because of anxiety, frailty, social issues etc but not necessarily bed ridden. You don't have to be wealthy before you get a house call in Europe. Majority of private physicians/Drs who do visits mostly do it only when a patient is genuinely unable to come to their clinic. Same as their public physicians counterparts. Most patients will come to the Dr when they are ill, unless they're genuinely unable to. |

Eketem: I haven't been following all the details of the inquest. But what I garnered from this post was that he was being treated at home before referral to hospital ? And not tests first before treatment at home? To me, what the scan (I'm hoping it's a CT scan and not the normal ultrasound) probably proves is that he didn't die from internal injuries from trauma as earlier stated/assumed. Quite a number of things can cause an enlarged liver including malaria. You can look that up. So the concern really should be what else was going on with him to cause his liver to be enlarged? Most causes of an enlarged liver will not kill that quickly. Anything that could possibly make him deteriorate so fast to death within a week should be looked into. I'm more interested in the blood tests done at the hospital- blood tests to look for sepsis, malaria, his kidney function, his liver function (enlarged liver doesn't necessarily mean the liver isn't still working within it's normal capacity o). (My market women analogy was just to tell you that anybody can treat malaria and you don't need to have blood tests to do that.) Anyway, I really hope genuine lessons are learned from the inquest and that schools, Drs, parents, the govt can put into place workable solutions for school children that fall ill and just put into place more robust laws to protect children and enforce such laws, whether the parents are rich or poor. |

eyinjuege: Okay America is different, your money dictates what you can and cannot do, most welathy folks have family doctors and in home consults. Back to the point, a credible doctor would never go by just symptoms alone, tests would be done to rule out other factors. Even as far back as early 2000s during my university days, my doctor insisted on running tests due to frequent malaria but I guess like everything in 9ja, money does not equate to quality......It is well! |

eyinjuege: Health insurance is not the issue, cost of treatment is not the issue a family that can afford Dowen or Falana is not poor. Medical costs here is not as expensive as what obtains in America. Even poor patients here crowd fund or beg to get money for treatment where insurance is not available. The doctor himself admitted to treating with prayers and not strictly following the protocol after the initial referral. It is not defensible |
Re: Sylvester Oromoni Not Taken To Hospital For Treatment – Family Doctor Testifies by Eketem: 2:03am On Feb 02, 2022 |
abbey621: Yes the family witness said the tests were done since 27th and they were referred |
Re: Sylvester Oromoni Not Taken To Hospital For Treatment – Family Doctor Testifies by eyinjuege: 2:03am On Feb 02, 2022 |
Eketem:I'm not ignoring anything. This post states rhe Dr started treating from 26th to 30th. Made no mention of any tests done. You're the one who mentioned tests were done and only talked about a scan. You didn't tell us what type of scan, and neither did you mention other tests that were done . I doubt an enlarged liver killed Syl and that on it's own doesn’t warrant a same day admission, unless he had other more worrying symptoms and other things picked up on his blood tests which hadn't been shared anywhere Eketem: No where did the Dr say he was treating with prayers. He said he believed in prayers and medical treatment. This highlighted part below I lifted directly from the original post : What was your response to the treatment at a church as opposed to a proper medical facility?” George asked. “I am aware that the church is not a treatment centre. I am not against prayer, I will prefer a combination of both prayer and medical treatment,” the doctor replied. The doctor disclosed that on the day Oromoni died, he referred him to Delta State University Teaching Hospital, Oghara, for further treatment. |

xpool: It is an Inquest ongoing in court. This is the family presenting their case and witnesses, because it is the family making accusation. When the family is done with their witnesses th school will present and police will present. I don't understand why people have refused to understand this. It is not a conclusion just a process in an Inquest. 1 Like |

Re: Sylvester Oromoni Not Taken To Hospital For Treatment – Family Doctor Testifies by nedekid: 5:26am On Feb 02, 2022 |
May his soul Rest in peace. Must the school be held responsible for the parents negligence? The lady pathologist one of over 7 that perform the autopsy stated his cause of death. And it was linked to a badly managed case of sepsis. When the boy should have been pumped with specific antibiotics to fight multipling bacteria, he was taken to church for prayers ie spiritual attack. Then treated at home for maleria!. Even the video where he was being massaged (making it worse) was not in a medical facility. I hope all these revelation being brought forward wount expose the parents to prosecution for child negligence. Sorry to say, Bowen that has thousands of students, hundreds of workers cannot be held as "fall guy" in the court of public mob justice. Medical science, the ongoing inquest will surely point to the right direction. Letigation or prosecution must follow! 1 Like |

abbey621:You are naive. By now, the parent would have been arrested by child protection services. I can show you more than ten cases involving such negligent parents. The doctor is not a magician. You can treat malaria today and the child can have infection tommorrow. The doctor only needed to advise them and document... if the parent refused, he couldn't do anything. If he suspected the child's case was serious and the parent were negligent, he might report but in Nigeria, there is no clear cut person to report to and unlike abroad where the parent don't have to pay, the parent have to pay for medical services in Nigeria so if they Insist they don't want admission there is nothing the doctor would do because he won't use his money to be treating the patient. https://www.hg.org/legal-articles/child-neglect-when-is-it-a-crime-50439 |

PoliteActivist: Nobody want his child to die in school an we all felt bad for it but closing the school won't resurrect the dead child. The parent failed on their part but everybody is now blaming the School. Nigerians are good in blame game. Policies should be put in place to check issues like this in the future. It should be a lesson for schools. Already l have seen changes in my kid's school to address issues like this. I don't know the autopsy you are talking about but the two am aware freed the school of what the parent told media. As a healthcare worker l know how people can throw blame when they loose relations even when it is not anybody's fault. 1 Like |
