“The police officers quickly took him to the nearest hospital. The hospital rejected him. They rushed to another hospital, again rejected. And they went to the third hospital. Of course, they were going farther and spending more time. Again rejected! The claim this time was that there was no ICU.
“Then, the fourth hospital, ‘Bring One Million Naira deposit.’ You guessed right: they headed in earnest for the fifth hospital. Luckily, they were accepted.
“Things we go through daily, but less talked about.
“PS: All five hospitals are government hospitals. Not indicting anyone. They could have had their limitations too. Just sharing part of our daily experiences.”
