A few days ago, news broke out about a doctor who had only two weeks to complete her horsemanship at a Lagos general hospital but tragically lost her life in an elevator accident. According to multiple online users, the elevator had been faulty for over one year but authorities refused to repair it.
In a new post trending an eyewitness narrates the last moments before the tragic passing of the doctor. Read it below;
“I was standing in front of the elevator and pressed the open button so I could step in, I was on a video call with my friend and it's the singular reason I hadn't entered just yet when I heard the Big Crash to the floor, elevator crashed from the 9th floor to even below the ground floor, glass shattering, bricks clashing, sand trickling down. A dispatch rider who heard this sound ran out he was carrying the food she ordered, and he ran out of the building because of the impact that shook the foundations of the very building, it was then I realized what just happened. I froze because I was in shock, then Theard Mr. Charles shouting Hope nobody is inside, I said if someone is there, the person is gone not knowing she was in there. And alive in fact. Then Quadri ran down and shouted Vwaere is there, we started running out to get help. They tried to use rods to open it, to be sure it wasn't a joke, they finally opened it at the sight was gruesome. Muffled sounds of excruciating pain and agony became apparent.
Her forehead had a horizontal cut, her mouth had another one, and raccoon eyes, no! She was lying in between the base of the elevator and the ground floor with the engine hanging over her head which meant any miscalculation in movement, she'll be crushed to instant death! She was sandwiched in between the hanging engine and below the ground floor with blood on broken glasses and fractured limbs. It's not a sight to describe. She's a tall person so imagine the crush ( G God! Called on professional engineers to come and dismantle it because any abrupt movement could let the elevator give. It took almost 40 mins for them to get there, initially, they sent representatives to dismantle it and these guys came dressed in suit, suits.
Really? When the day is over. Lol! They were at VI, VI is 15 mins to the marina or less, what took them so long???? Or they didn't think it was life and death??????? I remember telling her to relax and that help is coming, but she said "Don't tell me to relax tell them to get me out of here" We eventually got her out and she kept saying she thinks she'll die.
Emergency care was almost zero and inside a freaking hospital for that matter. There was no blood in the hospital, and we were taught to give blood for blood loss in med school but no blood available for Vwaere, it's all theory and the books in Nigeria!! She was stuck in the elevator for 1 freaking hour. Fventuallv wheeled out but she was already weak and She kept saying I don't want to die. They commenced CPR and the finality of it all happened. This thing started like play. From the elevator taking a maximum of 8 people, to it stopping abruptly between floors and then you are forced to use your legs for the rest of your journey. From it taking just 2 people per trip to avoid it hanging midway, to it only functioning when you stand far from the entrance, to it being closed manually for it to work, to it being restarted for every trip it makes down the 10 floors, to it finally crashing and taking one of us. These changes over The last 1 year! Before this several complaints have been made dating back to 6 years ago! How? There was enough time for them to fix the damn elevator! We had been complaining about basic amenities in that quarters. No light and water, fix the damn elevator! They'll say we should write a letter, we write the letter they tell us it's not HSC that is responsible but it's the medical guild, the medical guild will say it's Alausa, and Alausa will say it's not on them! Back and forth for years, 6 good years!!!. Will you say she died? It's MURDER! She was murdered, She had 2 weeks to finish HJ. I remember the last time we complained they said we should manage that in their time they were sleeping in call rooms during their horsemanship days and we are lucky we have water, a lift, and rooms to live in and we aren't grateful. We are asking for too much?? They were not even giving us the barest minimum and they shut us up when we complained.
1 remember during the campaign when Sanwo Olu was coming to General Hospital Odan, the water-logged area after casualty used to be sandy and unplayable when rain falls but guess who they employed to work overnight for 3 days to fill the space with gravel??? Laborers were employed by the same management that watched that road deteriorate before a governor was coming. How did the road get fixed in just 3 nights? Shovel clanks through the night disturbing my sleep just because Snow Olu was coming to campaign?? Why??? Eye service everywhere, it's sucks! Tell me, did anybody have to die??? Did anyone have to?
Imagine what it took to train a child in med school for 7 years in a private university, only for her to die 2 weeks to finish horsemanship! No fam! It's a wicked country, she wasn't sick but the system failed her”.
