A doctor on Twitter has lamented on how a stroke patient lost his life over some absurd religious rules made by the patient's doctor.
The doctor identified as @trending medic has narrated how a woman brought in her husband for treatment at his hospital, but was unable to treat him because the wife gave a warning that the pastor warned against injection.
He further added that they tried reaching the pastor on his phone to get his consent but he asked them not to resume any treatment till he gets to the hospital.
He continued that the patient wife brought out list of drugs prescribed by her pastor for the patient, as she strongly said that her husband was only allowed to take oral drugs and not injections.

He wrote: "Stroke patient came in unconscious , we can't do anything because the patient's wife's Pastor said if Stroke patients take injections they'll finally die.
Pastor's number is going through to give us consent. This man doesn't have One hour to live but we're helpless. Tick Tock
UPDATE: Patient's spouse has given me a list of tablets to give him. The Pastor recommended it. I've politely pointed out that the patient is unconscious and can't take any tablets, besides its all multivitamins, aloe vera and stuff and it won't do much good. Tick Tock
UPDATE : Pastor finally picked his call, said we shouldn't do anything till he comes. Doubt if he did biology sef in WAEC but he's the chief consultant now. Other sick patients are legit begging this woman, unreal stuff while I pinch myself at 5mins interval, this is real
final Update : Patient has absent pulse, nil breath sounds, absent heart beat, pupils fixed and dilated, resuscitation attempted and failed. Patient's dead.
Pastor came late which is kind of a relief because they would have said the injections killed the man. Man's not had breakfast cos of this. Anyways not a single dry eye right here"
