I received a call 10 days ago from my mother that someone called her with my sister's phone and told her that my sister had a terrible accident and this happened when she was on her way back from work. The accident happened around 11pm in the night where a reckless bus driver hit her while she was on a motorcycle. The bike man that carried my sister lost his life at the process while my sister was unconscious and broke one of her hand and leg.
The first hospital they took her to rejected her and recommended another hospital for her to be treated. Can you imagine the kind of health system we have in this country where a life is needed to be saved and instead of showing concern to revive her back they are giving excuses that is not pleasing to the ear that there is no bed and equipment to treat her.
Then we went to another hospital which was like almost 30 minutes from the first hospital but this time she was admitted. She didn't open her eyes for like two days neither did she move nor say anything but she was breathing. When she finally opened her eyes she had no idea where she was and can't remember anything.
The second hospital also did something similar to the first hospital where they have to collect deposit first before attending to the patient who needs an urgent treated. To avoid delay, we have to follow process in other for her to be admitted but before then I shouted at them at the hospital because this is not a good way to save life where so many people have lost their lives in this kind of situation.
The bus driver who caused the accident ran away but left the bus behind. This is really unfair from him to display such act and probably why he ran away was due to the fact he noticed someone have lost his life at the process.
This is the bus that caused the accident
We were asked to do x-ray at the hospital in other for the doctors to know how affected the bone is which we did for both the hand and leg.
This is the x-ray result for the hand
The result for the leg
After the result of the x-ray, one the doctors treating my sister said we will need to transfer her to an orthopedic hospital when they focus mainly on musculoskeletal which they don't have in the hospital.
To be sincere, I am really writing this post with pain in my heart as there is no money to continue with the treatment and my sister is in pain where she is helpless at the moment to do anything.
The hospital they asked us to go requires money which I don't have neither did my parents have, the money we've tried and gather is what we use in treating her in the hospital.
We've taken her home for now to see if we can see help and support else where to continue with the treatment.
I don't know if this might look offensive by tagging names in this platform but I sincerely apologize for doing so as am in need of support which I will really appreciate. Please @acidyo @theycallmedan @blocktrades @trafalgar @geekgirl @borjan I will really appreciate if my sister's treatment is been supported.
