Lady shares how nephew survived snakebite
Identified on TikTok as @cleo_peddy, the lady stated how a snake bit her six-year-old nephew, and there was no antivenom at the first hospital they visited.
She shared that when they went to the second hospital, they refused to give the boy the antivenom because the first hospital had given him a tetanus injection.
The lady captioned the video:
“The only reason my nephew survived is because the snake did not inject venom. Now, when I think about Ifunanya case, I can’t help but ask, was it really the snake bite that killed her or was it the failure of a healthcare system that didn’t have what was needed to save her life?
“Yes, someone could still die even after receiving anti-venom. That’s a different conversation. But what if she had been given a fighting chance? That’s what hurts the most. RIP Ifunanya.”
