sue their stupid and careless asses what terrible news

Juoflife1:
When the water breaks and she's not contracting, she should have been sectioned, not induced. A baby in the womb without water is already stressed

The man is a JW.
Do you understand how irrational they can be when faced with options like this?

This is an epistle...a research project to read.

So sad!

Sadly,from the picture you can see the lady has lost so much blood.Being a Jehovah witness compounds the matter of infusing her with blood. Why didn't she give birth where the husband works, judgement call can be a saving grace between life and death.

Jehovah's witnesses??
This is the root cause of the problem.

Hasty generalisation! There are a million and one JW given birth on a daily without complications.

I was just crying reading this.

I know what killed both the mother and child because in 2021 I was also a victim of this kind of incident, but I was lucky only the baby died, at one hospital here in Benin City, Edo state.

The reasons are as follows:
1. Never induce labour due to ruptured membrane, because after the ruptured membrane the baby will adapt to the new environment inside the mother's womb, and original labour will come on its own in 2 to 3 days after the outflow of water from the mother.

2. Avoid overly large babies by shunning any thing cold drink even if it is cold water, and also avoid sweet mouth (too much sugar).

3. Eat light food only, once you notice labour.

4. Always deliver at local birth attendants place, the rate of safe delivery from these traditional midwives are 99.9 percent over herein Benin City Edo state. Their services are amazing.

If the above listed items were followed, then the delivery would have been successful.

Private and government run hospitals which is better in this country sef?

Hmmmmmmmm

This is a sad story indeed

Well, as a doctor, I have these points to drop

1. As a JW, he has the full right to reject anything blood, but he can still perform surgeries on his wife and allow blood substitutes like tothema

2. The so-called Gynecologist/obstetrician made some errors. Pre-labour rupture of membranes in a multigravid without any obvious sign of contraction, with an estimated birth weight of 3.9kg is a very clear indication of CS until proven otherwise. I am not a gynae bit I have entered theatre many times so I know this.

3. Never mess with medical personnel. Some of them DO know their onions. This anaesthetist nurse knows the fulk BLS protocol of resuscitation.

4. It's so painful that this young man lost both mother and baby on the same day. R-jolad should really scrutinize the kind of medical practitioners they employ. The bereaved should take the matter to MDCN disciplinary committee for further action.

5. May God comfort the bereaved. Ọmọ this one hit home

Wow, ,Such a sad story. Negligence on the side of the doctor. Ruptured membranes at 3 am. No CTG to monitor fetal's condition. No contractions and they were wasting time. What kind of nonsense hospital is this? It is really 😢

This is how people will keep losing their lives trying to uphold religious doctrines.
The long and short of this story is that they are Jehovah's Witnesses who didn't want blood transfusion and some other medical procedures in their fancy bucket list of doctrines.
They only concede in panic after the situation has degenerated, then turn around to blame the hospital.
Where I did my IT back then, we lost a colleague after her family initially rejected blood transfusion when she had an accident. By the time they agreed, her situation had gotten too bad and she died.

This really sad

...abeg who fit use voice note take pronounce that name for me...PRINCE.....

can you see hpw stupid, hopeless and insentitve you are. Idiot just full this country I swear.

Someone just shared his ordeal, and all an idiot like you is interested in is pronouncing his surname.. fool you are!

You talk nonsense here... You know it

Unfortunate series of events,but what I find troubling and suspicio in his narrative of events is this:if your wife was not contracting after rupture of the membranes,what the hospital did was what any other standard facility would do,they started with cytotec,at the lowest dose recommended,repeated when there was still no noticeable contraction,then scaled up to oxytocin.
The one issue I found with the Hospital management is that they would have exhausted the full 4 dose regimen of cytorec before starting with oxytocin.
The problem with dealing with men like this that feel they know it all from what they read is that you must play everything by the book,if not they would use one issue as being the cause of a mishap.
All these things he mentioned, paediatrician being present,physician,using infusion pump,pantograph,CTG monitor,etc,even in advanced countries they are not as it's made out to be where all these personnel and instruments would be available.
I bet if he had been told from the onset that his wife needed to be sectioned,he would have blatantly refused and told them to exhaust every other means.
But here he is finding fault with every step taken.
It's sad he has lost both wife and child,but finding fault with every step is just ridiculous.
His wife came by 11am with no issues,was he expecting the consultant to be on ground monitoring an expected uneventful labour?
Let the hospital say it's own side of the story.
Mishaps happen all over the world and there is no where every case is done by the book.
It's sad and may God granted him the fortitude to bear the loss.

Sorry for your loss, my sincere condolences

No, I disagree

The woman is multigravid, ruptured membrane over 12hrs ago, and has suspected macrosomia

A CS would have saved lives.

It was very clear the woman had uterine rupture, low BP with tachycardia were clear evidences of hypovolemic shock!!

May Nigeria never destroy us

Very sad

Management of prelabour and labour stage was definitely subpar... The hospital may be at fault, but it's almost similar in all other health care facilities in Nigeria if not worse.

Induction wasn't the best option in this case, oxytocin infusion was too long predisposing to a ruptured uterus from hyper stimulation.

A lot of steps and protocols were overlooked probably because she wasn't a Primi but that's isn't an excuse.

It pains me as an obstetrician and gynecologist hearing or seeing maternal mortality. The pain is great, and I follow standard protocols to reduce it to its barest minimum.

The quack doctor should have his license revoked immediately and he should be exiled to oshogbo where he will do 140 days of penance before his stoning in egba market square


According to his will
Amen

Ds guy u dey mean 😏

MatrixReloaded:
First of all, remove religion from the husband belief. Being a Jw doesn't imply when a woman is facing her repercussion of early humans.
She rupture around 3am and it never dawn to a man with medical background that the baby is lacking oxygen.
At that instance the woman should have been induced (force labor). "ANYWAY"
it baffles me how some people view c/s as a taboo when in reality is the best and safest way to save both mother and unborn child.
Don't be victim of religion misconceptions

That's what I suspect happened. I'm sure they were advised to have a CS. But they insisted No.

It's not the husband's decision to make. It's the wife's.

What are you yapping about?
Did the man not say he is a JW?
Do you know how constrained it would have been for the hospital to manage this case considering that blood transfusion is out of the equation?

gistray:
I believe him.

If your have some kind disease or ailments and take your self to a Nigerian hospital.

If you ever regain your health and come back complete is by grace of God himself.

It's 99% God or your body system and 1% the hospital

Then go to church when u fall sick.

What ever caused the death of mother and child is clearly a case of medical negligence. The facility did not manage the case well. It is not the issue of rejection of blood or whatever!

pocohantas:
And some people say a woman giving birth is akin to a goat doing same? Ah!

RIP to mother and child.
This is a painful loss.

😞

Yes unfortunately. And the hospital will win them in court. The doctor was absent most of the time tho, and midwife that cannot perform CPR on a new born, no oxygen. Very unfortunate

Don't you have data to see the attached screenshots of the chat he had with the doctor where he agreed with a CS as suggested by the doctor?

You people love to blame the victims.

Who did this to you people?

This is disheartening.

Rjolad is a very common name around.

Just so painful, only God can comfort that man.

Isn't it obvious the husband never wanted the CS?

Did you not see the first screenshot where the husband agreed with the doctor on the CS option?

Go back and check it

Is it stated anywhere in the write-up that she died as a result of rejecting blood? For the doctor to have agreed to go ahead with their terms he clearly knows that there are alternatives. It was clearly a case of medical negligence! How do you explain an induction that led to a ruptured uterus?
