Pregnant woman dies after refusing blood transfusion
Legit.ng previously reported that a hospital has been accused of gross negligence after a pregnant woman under her care died. According to a Facebook post which has gone viral, the pregnant woman had delivered her baby through a caesarean section (CS).
However, along the line, she needs her blood to be replenished through a blood transfusion. Chris Adams, who shared the story on Facebook, stated that the hospital staff refused to do the blood transfusion, which is a standard medical procedure if a patient is short of blood.
