Pastor's
Wife Dies From Snake Bite On Wedding Day.
Prophet
Patrick Eyaefe, the founder of Miracle Working God Ministry in Sapele, Delta
State, whose wife died from snake bite some hours after their wedding,
yesterday, narrated how the negligence of a private hospital led to her death.
The
44-year-old pastor said they had been together for eight years, you know as a
man of God I was supposed to regularise my marriage, so after eight years and
with a growing ministry and five kids, I decided to do the right thing. Now see
what has happened after the marriage.
“We
were relaxing at home after the marriage at about 7pm on Sunday, March 30,
2019, when she went to buy sachet water and she had hardly left for five
minutes when I heard her screaming for help.
“I
dashed down and she told me that a snake just bit her, I took her to the
hospital that night and I tied the leg as someone instructed me. When we got t
to the hospital, after paying N1,000 to register, the doctor was not around.
The nurse who was on duty had to call the doctor before he came and when he
eventually arrived, they were looking at her as if her life was not important.
“The
drugs he (the doctor) prescribed for me I went to buy it and when I came back,
he insisted I should go back and get the dosage of the drug, and my wife was
lying there without being attended to.
“When
I returned, they tightened the rope I use in tying the leg so that the venom
will not spread and right thereafter administering the anti-venom drug, she
still died.
“My
wife died on the day I took her to the altar. They left her for too long
without attending to her. It was a case of neglect. If they had acted quickly
she would not have died. She died leaving five kids for me. How do I go on?”
But
the Chief Medical Director of the hospital, Dr John Akwara, denied negligence
on the part of the hospital as there was little the doctor could do at the
point she was taken to the hospital.
He
said: “Snake venoms kill within minutes, the doctor who treated her is a
certified medical doctor with over 10 years in service. Snakebite is a snake
bite anywhere, five minutes you are gone.
“We
even gave her oxygen, which goes to show how far the damage has been done. Once
venom has reached the heart, there is nothing anybody can do about it.”
