Apparently, a 7 year old boy has died due to ‘overdose’
of medicine given by a doctor from a government clinic.
Frightening and scary, dun you think so?
You might die coz of a doctor’s negligence giving you an overdose
or wrong medicine!!
According to The Star today here, the boy was given 500mg
parcetamol tablets for his fever. And if the allegation is true,
the doc concerned would be in a deep trouble.
So, how confidence are we with our doctor‘s prescriptions?
How are we to know whether the medicine given to us are right
and not ‘overdose’?
Must we or should we consult another doctor for ‘2nd opinion’
on prescriptions, like we ask for 2nd opinion on our medical status?
One way or another we gotta be on guard when visiting
our doctors especially with the medicine given to us as we dun
want to die for no apparent reason.
Buta-buta mati!
So take precautions, folks.
p.s
more frightening news!!
The medical records on the victim's treatment has gone missing!!!
