Segun Arinze gets refuted by Doren specialist hospital.
Last week, we reported that Nollywood actor, Segun Arinze took to his facebook page to bring the attention of the public to an hospital which he said rejected an unconscious accident victim. In his post, he said the hospital refused to attended to the man despite several pleas from the crowd that gathered at the hospital’s gate where the man was made to lie on the ground.
However, an authority at the hospital has released a statement which goes contrary to what the actor posted. READ BELOW.
“The attention of Doren Specialist Hospital has been drawn to the unverified statements and images made by Mr. Segun Arinze and shared by him on his social media handle in respect of a man who he falsely alleged was refused medical attention by our hospital.
“The patient was rushed into the hospital on February 21, 2018 at about 11a.m., by a group of people, who said he was electrocuted. “What we normally do at the emergency entrance is that when a patient is brought in and appears lifeless, we confirm that the person is still alive, that he/she has pulse then we admit the patient.
“A doctor from Doren Specialist Hospital promptly assessed the man and certified him ‘dead at presentation’. The people who brought him were informed that the man was dead and were advised to take the man to a morgue, since the hospital does not run mortuary services. “The people who brought the dead man, rather than take the corpse to the morgue, instead resorted to create a scene and disrupt the operations of the hospital.
“As a point of duty, we at Doren Specialist Hospital attend to all emergencies as they present and do not put cost as a prerequisite for first aid treatment to be administered.
“Having said this, our media team and some concerned Nigerians swung into action to address Segun Arinze’s post on his page and he took it down. We even engaged him privately to address his post, but he turned to say that he is a public figure; we should talk to him on the public post.”
