A tragic incident in Owerri, Nigeria has left a man grieving the loss of his pregnant wife and unborn children after a doctor allegedly relied on a YouTube video to perform surgery on her.
According to a viral post on X (formerly Twitter), the Owerri heartbroken husband recounted his harrowing experience at the hospital. He claimed that after the doctor initially called for assistance, the medical team instead resorted to using their phones to watch YouTube videos to learn how to operate during the procedure.
“In the operating room, I saw them pressing their phones, watching YouTube to learn how to perform the surgery,” he stated.
The incident has sparked outrage online, with social media users condemning the apparent lack of proper medical practice. Comments on the post included expressions of disbelief and demands for accountability, with some suggesting that the hospital should face legal consequences.
The matter has been reported to the Owerri police, as authorities are now investigating the alleged negligence.
