The woman was reportedly pregnant and due to give birth, according to a family member who spoke with an FM station. She was sent to a private hospital (name withheld for security reasons) for delivery, but she was unable to deliver on her own and had to undergo a cesarean section. She was discharged and sent home immediately following the delivery.
According to the family member, the woman complained of constant lower abdominal pain and never urinated after the C-section. The woman was then rushed to the hospital where the C-S was performed. She was then admitted, but there was no physician available to care for her. Therefore, the family requested a referral letter so that the deceased could be treated at a different hospital. The only physician at the hospital who had performed the C-S was absent, so he was called to sign the referral letter, but he did not answer the phone. A nurse eventually assumed responsibility for signing the referral letter, as there was nothing they could do to help the woman.
She passed away after being referred to another hospital for better treatment. The mystery surrounding the decedent's passing did not sit well with the family, so they decided to perform an autopsy. According to the autopsy report, the woman's bladder was severed during her cesarean delivery, and another organ was sutured to the severed bladder. Upon receiving the autopsy report, the family attempted to contact the doctor who performed the C-S for answers, but to no avail. The family member pledged to do everything possible to seek justice for the deceased and the infant.
One caller stated that this is the final difficulty a woman would face during childbirth.
Two years ago, had it not been for the grace of God, I would have died from a similar incident, another caller added.
