A colleague of the late doctor, Vwaere Diaso, has shared her heartbreaking last words before she finally gave up.
The late Vwaere Diaso, a medical doctor, who was just two weeks away from completing her housemanship, died in an elevator accident at Lagos Island General Hospital, Odan.
Vwaere’s colleague with the Twitter username @LaseMoye, narrated how the tragic incident happened right in front of her on Tuesday, August 1.
In a post made on Twitter, Moye said Vwaere was on her way to the ground floor to pick up a food delivery from a dispatch rider when the elevator fell from the 10th floor.
According to Moye, she had pressed the open button of the elevator but did not enter because she was on a video call.
The next thing she heard was a big crash to the floor which made the dispatch rider who brought Vwaere’s food to run out of the building. She explained that an alarm was raised that Vwaere was in the elevator and they started looking for ways to bring her out of it.
“They tried to use rods to open it, to be sure it wasn’t a joke. They finally opened it and the sight was gruesome. Muffled sounds of excruciating pain and agony became apparent,” she wrote.
“I remember telling her to relax that help is coming, she said “Don’t tell me to relax, tell them to get me out of here”. We eventually got her out and she kept saying she thinks she’ll die.”
“Emergency care was almost zero and inside a hospital for that matter. There was no blood in the hospital. “She was eventually wheeled out but she was already weak and kept saying ”I don’t want to die”. They commenced CPR and the finality of it all happened.”
