Faulty elevator kills medical doctor in Lagos

A medical doctor with only two weeks left to complete her housemanship at General Hospital, Odan, Lagos State has been killed by the lift in the doctor’s quarters.

Reports indicated that Dr. Vwaere Diaso, was severely injured when a lift she entered on the 10th floor of the doctors’ quarters crashed to the ground on Monday night, August 1, 2023.

A source speaking on the matter said, “She completed her medical degree at Babcock University and had just two weeks to complete her housemanship at the General Hospital, Odan, Lagos Island.

“She had entered the elevator at the doctors’ quarters to collect her food from a dispatch rider who was waiting for her downstairs. She was in the elevator when it crashed from the 10th floor to the ground. She was rushed to the emergency ward where she passed away. We have been complaining about this malfunctioning elevator for the past one year and nothing was done about it.

“This incident could have been totally avoided.”

It was gathered that it took an hour to get the hapless doctor out of the broken lift and when they got to the emergency ward, there was allegedly no blood to transfuse into her.
