Veteran actor, Segun Arinze, has taken to social media to vent his anger and frustration at the negligence of some hospital and medical practitioners to perform the duty of saving lives.
The actor, who specifically named Doreen Hospital in Ajah, a suburb of Lagos State, recounted how he witnessed an unconscious accident victim being rejected by staff and nurses of the hospital.
He said the hospital shut their doors and refused to admit the accident victim, adding that the nurses watched the man as he lay on the floor helpless.
He wrote;
I just witnessed one of the most unimaginable acts by any hospital. I was in a barbing salon having a shave opposite Doreen Hospital Thomas Estate Ajah and we heard crowd noise downstairs we stood to see what was wrong? A Man had an accident and was brought in unconscious.
Doreen Hospital refused to open their door to help rescue the Man in spite of all entreaties. Some of the nurses refused to help they were just watching the Man on the ground. So what happened to coronary law? Treat the Victim or patient first!! And ask questions or ask for payment later? What are hospitals turn to in Nigeria? Has life become valueless in our country?
