See why I'm actually wary of this visit. I thought we agreed on doing this off here, handpick just 2 people with track record and close that chapter?

I know everyone wants to help but right now, we got to this point cos we rushed things/ were not organised. Lets learn from our mistake thus far abeg.

2 people is enough, not a crowd. It's not a jamboree.

One lady said her office is an hour away from the town. The hospital is popular, I believe, so once they arrive Eruwa, they shouldn't have problem locating the place.

Can gateleo and that Lady go or is Mynd available?

No please don't give up please.

The OP discharged himself from LUTH when he ran out of funds, came to NL to seek for N25k to go back to LUTH for further tests, instead got a lot of horror stories about LUTH, was told UCH and LASUTH are better...but the people in charge of imaging such as Radiographers, etc, have been on strike over two weeks meaning he would not be able to do scans, blood tests, etc...he asked over 20 times for referral elsewhere...got no cogent response because everyone was still brainstorming...


Reddington Hospital's name came up...but calls of "he shouldn't be at home/he should be on a ventilator/no hospital in Naija can handle this case/he has to travel to India tonight" drowned out this option...in the end DJDOLA out of fear opted for this Clinic at Eruwa...

i understand,

but frm dat pics i saw, am just praying n hoping that they can handle his case there.

this naija strike sef no dey help matters

A lady said she works/lives close by. I'm trying to get her username so you can send her a PM.

Please, don't just arrange with "just anyone" to go there. Let Nld know and generally approve before you meet up and/or take anyone along. For DJ and your safety.

That said, God bless you.

I am hopeful, very hopeful it won't be as scary as some are making it seem. Its possible sef that the doctor who was handling him at LUTH is a student doctor sef. I don't think a specialist handled his case at LUTH. These student doctors can sabi know how to scare somebody. I choose to believe this because its calming to my soul.

I remember when I was ill and went to a hospital to run a malaria test some years ago and because I didn't want to self medicate, I asked not only to run malaria test but to see the doctor. The student doctor then took my BP and shouted chei! Just the shout alone could have killed me. Then again he told me " so you stay alone, better find somebody to be staying with you incase you have heart attack in the night. Your bp is very high 140/100 and something bad may happen to you when you are alone" (paraphrased). I didn't know a thing about BPs then and to be honest, I almost died. Lol. Anyway, the point is, some of these doctors know how to exaggerate a case. I pray that's how it is in this case and that our bros will be out of that place stronger.

You didn't reply my mail.

You are a clown cheesy cheesy cheesy

There are different kinds of CLD, many of which do not require liver transplantation, so I believe DJDOLA would be fine. The Doctor that saw him at LUTH is a qualified Endocrinologist with a speciality in Diabetes. He was born in UK, trained in UK before relocating to Nigeria, so I guess he was working with what LUTH had...


Nigerian Health system is actually good because it is modelled on US style, whereby they run you through many tests at once to diagnose what the issue is, hence reason it is expensive. It's their over-medication I don't like. Unlike UK where they do diagnosis by exclusion, lol...unless you are nearly dead here, no matter what you have, na paracetamol you go get and the Doctor would have already written out the prescription before you finish stating your symptoms. After 2 weeks you get antibiotics, and the diagnosis no dey pass "it's a bug going round"...some people wait two weeks to get appointment to see GP, and it's not rare to spend years on waiting list to see a Specialist. Or is it the one that the qualified Doctors will be flipping through their book in front of the patient to narrow down the symptoms to a diagnosis. Our A&E nko, if you are seen within 10 hours, it's your lucky day, and don't be surprised to see yourself spending hours on a stretcher because there is no available bed. And just pray not to fall sick after 6pm and on weekends because na student Doctor go attend to you...and if it's a serious case, they have to start paging Doctors most of whom would not respond, so most time they have to fly in a Doctor from Europe which takes hours...and pray this Doctor speaks English...I hail NHS

No worries, but I haven't read the whole thread either.

I think Olu4life has got the doctor's number, so he should be able to give it to you so you can ask the relevant questions. Someone did touch on doctor-patient confidentiality, but I don't know how that would work / apply in this situation as DJDOLA is everyone's concern here. Carcata's very much on point with updates, but I don't know what needs to be done for the doctor to give you the relevant information.

Babyosisi's also touched on some questions she would have asked as a medic herself, so I'm thinking maybe you two can discuss what needs to be asked, and when? Whatever happens, we all need to be sure that the doctor knows exactly what needs to be done, but more importantly, if DJDOLA's case is within his capabilities and if he has the facilities and staff to do the job.



I see some people are going to visit.When they get to see Djdola and the doctor handling his case,someone should be able to speak with the doctor.
Incidentally,the doctor might not really want to speak with strangers on phone.If he has to speak at all,it will be in the presence of someone(a relative)there.
Babyosisi,pls let me know if you are making a call.
