A Diabetic Man Lost Consciousness for Hours—Then I Saw Another Bloodied Patient

A post about surgery reminded me of two incidents I witnessed. One happened at a hospital in Ondo State. The other took place in Abuja late last year. I’ll start with the Abuja incident because it is still fresh in my memory. My sister called to say her husband, who lives and works in Abuja, had been found unconscious and taken to a private hospital. A neighbour discovered him the next morning after he had apparently been unconscious for hours. He has diabetes, and his blood sugar had risen abnormally. He later said he could not remember leaving home the night before. He remained unconscious for more than 40 hours. While I was at the hospital with him, I saw a bloodied man stretched across the front seat of a car. He was still bleeding from the head. The driver was speaking to a doctor, and I stayed nearby to listen. The account ends before I learn what happened to the man.
