Lady says family couldn't sacrifice N40k

The lady, known on TikTok as @thrift_master1, shared her painful experience with her followers.

According to her, her family had informed the doctor that she would cover the bill upon regaining consciousness.

She noted that the cost in question was N40,000, an amount that her loved ones seemingly couldn't or wouldn't sacrifice for her sake.
