How Chinenye was murdered in India – Mother shares very sad story

                                
Chineye had just graduated from University of Abuja and was preparing
for her NYSC but the family had decided that rather than just sit at
home before her NYSFollowing the fall in which she broke her femur (thigh bone) she had a
surgery which involved the insertation of k-nail (iron) to support the
bone. The iron eventually broke into two and a surgery was necessitated
to remove the 2 piece of broken iron and correct the short limb that was
causing her a lot of pains. . Little did I know that the Indian doctors
had planned to kill my dear Chineye or how else should I put it?

After the surgery in India, Chineye was upset, when I asked her why, she
raised her fears over the surgery, Dr Gupta the senior consultant
removed only one piece of the 2 pieces of previously broken iron in her
limb as opposed to the earlier agreement that the two pieces will be
removed before conducting the limb lengthening surgery. When she
complained, he assured her that everything will be fine. Shortly after
she was discharged, she noticed that the lengthening screw was stiff and
complained immediately to the doctors but they informed her that they
were looking for the right size of iron for her height.

After 3 days she was forced to go to the hospital. She walked to the
dressing room and two other doctors began to attend to her because Dr
Gupta was not in the hospital. While they were changing the screw she
gasped and suddenly lost consciousness on the dressing table; the
doctors wheeled her into the emergency room.

Less than an hour after she was wheeled into the dressing room, I was
informed that my daughter was dead, I was shocked, I could not believe
my ears,I felt the world had come to an end, even in my state of shock
the best, the hospital could do was to demand for an additional payment
from me as cost of trying to revive Chineye.

When I walked into the room where she laid, I discovered they had
already stuffed near nostrils with cotton wool while her body was still
very warm, I immediately begged and cried helplessly that they should
try to revive her but they heartlessly told me that there was nothing
they could do that she had died and had planned to convey her to the
mortuary at the time. Due to my insistence the transport to the hospital
was delayed by another two hours during which they blatantly refused to
administer any more procedure to revive her.

Dr Gupta latter arrived and told me she died of severe heart attack.

Signs of negligence are evident in the preparedness of the surgery, as
the first day she was wheeled into the theatre for the surgery it was
cancelled and rescheduled because the iron was not the right size for
her height even though she has done several physical consultations with
Dr Gupta.

Secondly, a review of her medical records reveals that there was no
blood thinning medication was prescribed which is necessary for this
kind of surgery.

Thirdly, even after the surgery the doctors were still looking for the
right size of iron. Fourthly, only one piece of the previously broken
iron was removed. Finally, there was no willingness to revive her and
they did not show any value for life in the urgency and recklessness
with which they declared her dead and hurried her to the mortuary. Since
her death Fortis Hospital New Delhi has issued several conflicting
statements on the cause of her death which only confirms my fears that
Chineye was murdered.

They have refused to release the autopsy result and they still claim to be investigating the cause of death.

I have been crying since the 9th of October, 2015.

My heart bleeds and I know Chineye’s soul seeks for justice. I speak as a
mother who deserves to know the cause of her daughter’s death. I need
the support of every Nigerian in this fight against this murderous act,
injustice, oppression and wickedness.

I am helpless but I believe that with God on my side and with the
support of Nigerians and the international community by sharing this
story until it gets to the relevant authorities, the killers of my
daughter will not escape judgement. I have spoken to a couple of
Nigerians that have also had unpalatable experiences in their search for
medical aid in India.

Many have lost their loved ones and refused to share their story. I have
decided to share this story to save more potential lives that will be
lost due to medical negligence in Fortis Hospital and create awareness.

Fortis currently has a branch in Abuja, Nigeria. Fortis why did you kill Chineye?
