Isaac Aloma, better known as Zicsaloma, has called out the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) over the treatment of his mother who is battling cancer.
The skitmaker said his mother was rushed to a hospital on the Island due to her deteriorating health but the hospital asked them to take her to LUTH where she had her first chemotherapy shot.
However, he said that on arriving at LUTH, they allegedly refused to take his mother in, rather they asked her to go to a lab close by to run some tests.
He said she was taken to the lab and after the biological materials for the test were taken, she was rushed back to LUTH. Zic alleged that they, however, locked the gates and refused to let his mother in.
He said his mother is frail, looks like a “skeleton” and couldn’t stand, to the point doctors at private hospital they initially went to feared she may not survive. In spite of her condition, he said LUTH refused to let her in or even to provide a chair or bed for her outside.
He claimed the security said they couldn’t let her in until the result of the test was ready in three hours.
He questioned why a patient in such condition should be left unattended for hours.
He added that his attempts to get doctors to intervene proved abortive and all of them were “unempathetic”, insisting she would only be allowed in when the result of her test was out.
“Our medical team, the doctors of Nigeria, a lot of them are terrible,” the skitmaker lamented in the video.
“If you don’t have the connection, if you don’t know people, you’ll just die here. So terrible,” he concluded in the video.
