My Sister Lost A Son -Hospital Negligence
It is very sad for our family, my sister lost her son today (28 years old). Her son was hit by a car Sunday evening he was rushed to the hospital at the same time.
The car that hit him was never found as that person hit him ran and never stopped to see if he was alive or not. While his one cousin and a friend were rushing to check on him as he was lying on the ground the car drove off they never got a chance to take the number plate because they were worried about him as he was bleeding.
We really do not know what happened at the hospital as he was not treated from Sunday until Thursday. Our Family members took turn to see him as it was during the week and visiting hours are during the day and it is a bit far from were l stay.
Other family members that he contacted when he was still alive say he told them that no nurse no doctor that has checked up on him but they will only give him pain killers no X- ray was done on him in that 4 days regardless of his injuries and a broken leg and also the fact that he was hit by a car. He even claimed he was given food to eat. The only food he got was the one family members brought in during the day.
On Thursday he fainted that is when doctors attend to him. He was diagnosed that his leg was broken but there were no damages to his head or anywhere in the body except for small wounds. On Thursday when doctors attended to him he went into a coma and have never wakened up ever since.
Now as a family we need to know why he was not treated for so many days we have been asking why he went to a coma and why he was not treated in the first place, the doctor in duty will say it wasn't him who received him the first day they all claim they found him in that condition.
Now the question is who is supposed to know what really happened at that hospital we still need answers and we will not rest until the person responsible take responsibility.
To top it all the whole country is in lockdown. The mother of the child (28 years old) leaves in another city with the lock down it is not allowed to travel long distances to other cities.
Now our family is really faced with a dilemma for the first time in my life none of us knows what to do with this situation. The hospital told us to wait for 4 days they are doing the post-mortem.
We will try to see if we can go to the authorities to ask for permission to transport rather his body to his mother at our home town that is were we bury all our family members. This is very sad for us and the fact that people can not move freely is the worse part.
We lost a member in our family because of the hospital negligence and ignorant. There are some nurses and doctors here in our government hospitals that are working as health workers for money not because they love or they are passionate about what they do. They only go to work for the sack of getting paid nothing else .
We are going to fight the hospital and it's staff in court if we have to and if we are not given the answers on how a person that had a broken leg ended up in coma in their care.
My WA Family it is hard for me as it is hard for my family in this time, thank you all for your continuous support.
Have a productive week!!!

I wish in cases like this we had a hug button instead of a like button, because I really don't like the fact that a young person has lost his life for no reason whatsoever.
This is really sad and I am so sorry to read this Fiona.
I send my thoughts and prayers to your family at this difficult time, only God knows what your sister is going through right now.
For sure this has to be a terrible time for your family and the lockdown makes things even worse.
So sorry.
Rose.
Thank you so much Rose, your support is very much appreciated and it means a lot to us. My sister is not in a very good state as no parent want to bury their children , children are the ones who are supposed to bury their parents.
Fiona,
Words cannot adequately provide comfort for your loss but I offer them anyway........It is heartbreaking when something like this happens, especially a needless passing that could have been averted if appropriate emergency hospital protocols were followed!
I pray for the peace of the Almighty to envelope you and your family and comfort you on every side.

Thank you so much Calvin for all your advise and we have documents dates and photos, your support means a lot to us we really appreciated it!
Oh that's awful.
I'm so very sorry for your loss, truly I am. One of my best friends died from what I believe was the fault of the Hospital. He came off his bike and broke his arm. After several days to a week of complaints the Hospital finally realised the plaster had been applied far too tight.
They then re-done it and within the space of another week, he died from a blood clot that travelled to his heart. He was 22 and weeks away from meeting his first child.
I'm so sorry, we just don't know what's around the next corner in life.
It's one thing to lose a loved one, but quite another, to lose someone to something that may have been avoided. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
All my love,
With Sympathy,
Adam.

So sorry for your loss. There is no dollar amount to put on a life taken too soon due to negligence. I hope you keep up the fight and make them accountable for this completely unnecessary death. Someone should go to prison for this. 4 days is crazy.
Peace Be with you and your family.
Thank you so much Jason for your love and support we very much appreciate it and it means a lot to us! We will get to the bottom of this.
