A story of how a pregnant woman who is in danger has been making rounds over the social media sites.
Based on the narration of the husband of the victim named Andrew Pelayo, last February 29, 2016, he hurriedly brought his pregnant wife to the Hospital of University of Sto. Tomas because she was bleeding a lot. She was immediately brought to the OB-GYNE section where she was handled by Dr. Sahagun.
The experts on the hospital were aware of the condition of the woman because she usually goes there for her monthly check-up since November 2015.
However, the doctors advised the husband to bring her wife to another hospital they referred Jose Reyes or East Avenue because Andrew only has a total of P6,000 cash. The doctors claim that the initial deposit in the hospital is P20, 000 before any procedure can be done.
The man could not do anything when the doctors asked him to sign the waiver because her wife needed to be immediately transferred to another hospital because of her condition.
Andrew was devastated by the incident because he lost his child and if they got late for another minute or two, he might have lost his wife as well.
Meanwhile, a netizen defended the resident doctor by saying that it was the policy of the hospital and that she was just adhering. She claims that this is not the fault of the doctor bu this is because of the poor health care system in the country.
The hospital of UST has not released any statement regarding this issue. Read the full story of the tragic incident here:
