Apparently, this is not new to Gertrudes as I have heard, and when you get word in the street more than twice, then there should be something fishy!
These are ‘doctors’ who had relied on mwakenya…
What are internships for? Someone should have noticed that there was someone who needed more intense training before releasing them to practice on an angel’s life. This is very sad, I think it should be reported, the doctor taken to court and charged with murder!!!!

Two and a half weeks ago (1/7/10) my six month old son had a fever and I took him to Getrudes hospital. The Doctor that saw him told me he had a mild throat infection so he prescribed Amoxyl and Cetamol syrup. We got the drugs and left fo Home and began administering the drugs as told. The next day the fever was on and off and on Saturday (03/07/10) morning we decided to take him for review as the fever was kept on coming and his soft spot was swollen, we took him to mater and carried along the drugs we had been giving him (Amoxil + cetamol). The doctor at Mater examined him and sent us to lab for some tests and also administered some drug for the fever. The test as we were told was to rule out malaria and yes he did not have malaria. We were again told that it’s the throat that is Inflamed. We were given Bustan, Rinnat and Piriton and told to discontinue the drugs we had been given at Getrudes. We went back home and administered the drugs as advised this was around 9.00am. All this time my son was looking just fine on the face. My son fell asleep shortly after and we left him with the hsehelp to go to the shop. We were gone for less than 30 minutes. When we came back we found our Son dead. She told us that my son just gasped for like 3 times after he had woken up and passed out just like that. He was still warm and looked n like he was asleep when we arrived. Heartbroken we took the body to Chiromo and a friend advised that we do an Autopsy to know exactly what might have killed him. We did this the next day (Sunday 04/07/10) and what the pathologist told us was shocking. That our son had Pneumonia and Meningitis and that is what killed him (the two as we were made to understand is caused by a bacterial strain that if it affects the lower respiratory organs it caused pneumonia but if not treated and gets to the brain at causes Meningitis). He said that his lungs were hard (instead of being soft and spongy) which he said was a sign of pneumonia and that there was pus in his brain – sign of meningitis. We were even told that Amoxyl is no longer used to treat infants (not sure whether this is true or not – u see u get to be told so many things but this one came from a doctor friend), makes me wonder why it was administered at Getrudes. We still wonder how the two medics in the two leading hospitals (one being the only Pediatric hospital in this country) failed to diagnose any of the two ailments. Anyway to you young mothers reading this email just note. -- |
