LIB reader shares his experience with diarrhea with his twins

The LIB reader writes below...

I am the guy who sent in the my photo backing one twin and carrying the other. To my story, we noticed twin A had signs of stooling on Wednesday night ... He pooed about 3 times till dawn...no sleeping for me and wifey... So by morning , we got ORT from the pharmacy....and prepared the solution for him to drink ...he drinks it like every 20mins or thereabout. At the same time, we give zinc tablet that comes with the pack of Tue ORT.... Usually sold together....and the zinc should be given, 1 tablet everyday for 10days

 That's the dosage, while the ORT should be prepared with boild cooled water (I use Eva water)...water quantity should be as directed....about 1 litre  to 1  sachet of so....
The ORT is replaced every 24hrs even if not finished.

My twins A(boy) kept stooling through till Friday .... Then we got a family doctor who prescribed flagil for kids ... This still did not work...twin A kept stooling through Saturday...... At this point we decided its time to go to our Lagos state health center for kids...... But its a Saturday.... So we kept giving the ORT...it became a part of him...he was never dehydrated but has loosed weight visibly....  We got a yeast antibiotic on Sunday....and started using for him...hoping to go to the health center on Monday.... Suddenly Twin B started having same symptoms like Twin A... We started same treatment.... Tuesday 9th February, we went to General hospital Ikorodu to see a doctor...that's where they were born... Told the doctor my boy (twin a) has been stooling since 1week now....and its still on...he said we shouldn't have waited that long before coming.....ok.. Told him all what we have give. Him...

Plus the ORT.... So we told him twin b has also started 2days ago....same stooling.... Now hear this Linda.... He refused to treat twin B's case as urgent....but was blaming me for not bringing Twin A 2 days after.... In all, he ask us to go run some tests for them both....(surprisingly, these test cost about 3,500 naira for each twin, but lol,! ITS FREE LINDA...FREE... blood test was done....stool test was pending.... Took blood test back to Doctor, but he refused to even look at it....cos he wants both tests.... Stool test would be the next morning....on getting there early in the morning, the Lab people said the stool test would take 3days.... wow... Was this doctor aware....,? I guess not.... So we went home to go back in 3 days.... But our family doctor saw the blood result and lamented we should go back as soon as we can so the doctor would see the blood test....

Anyways, I really want to commend the government for the beautiful children hospitals all around Lagos.... But can they please recruit beautiful minded people to work in these hospitals,? Otherwise, teach them how to be beautiful... Lives are at stake here.... Stooling for one whole week  and they let us go just like that.....  Infact, the receptionist to get our file was so so reluctant to attend to us... She was eating her snacks when we came in....
See this...
Me: Good evening ma.. Pls we wanna see the doctor..for my son. This is my card..
The  Hospital Clerk woman: DROP YOUR CARD. And go and sit down...(Eating meat pie)
Me:... Knowing how slugish they are... Looking at her like lol..
The Hospital clerk woman:.. As you can see, theres no LIGHT (ELECTRICITY). To bring out your file..
ME: can you pls use my mobile phone touchlight?
The Hospital clerk woman: what is the problem ...shay be its not an emergency...
ME: IT IS...PLS TREAT IT AS ONE.....lol

I think these hospital workers need extra training apart from handling injectionsnand files....
