I want to bring your consent to a medical misconduct that was carried out with my health conditions lately if I can get justice on the matter ;
In December 2025 I went to [company removed] to complain of pains in my stomach they started by performing several test and I wasn’t given result but they told me I have to do scan which I paid immediately for the scan while in pain so that they will be vast about it but the doctor named [name removed] said he didn’t see anything wrong with me in my stomach after he does his basic scan right there in the hospital but he admitted me immediately I was given relief like pain killer and saline water and some antibiotics for 3to 4 days before the pain subsided but I asked him what’s the main cause he said he don’t know in particular but he suggested am having ulcer he gave me medication for ulcer I was taking them until a week later the pains come back and this time very painful and total amount I dispensed for first treatment to the hospital was about #250,000 at first treatment now I was admitted for the second time again the pains now took longer this time close to 6 days before subside a little but he approached me to go for ct-scan which cost me #93000 which I did immediately he requested from the diagnostic Center he referred me to I.e [company removed].
after 24hours result came out indicating that nothing was wrong with my stomach according to review on the scan, I gave the result to [name removed] he said he will have to discharge me since the scan indicated nothing was found so throughout till I was discharged and I was charged another #150,000 again and I was still feeling the pains but they are giving me paracetamol injections just to suppress the pains till I was discharged now I still got home with same pains until I was referred to consult a doctor in Bucknor road isheri axis [company removed]
I was told to repeat another scan which I did and they found out that am having acute left pyelonephritis and cystitis and which I have been receiving treatment since January, I am imploring your office I can sue the hospital and the diagnostic center for negligence of duty I will be glad to get your help as soon as possible
Because I had been spending money everyday just to perfect the kidney disease

Thank you for contacting us and for explaining your experience in detail. I’m very sorry to hear about the pain, distress, and financial burden you have gone through. Based on what you’ve described, your concerns relate to possible medical negligence, including delayed or missed diagnosis and whether appropriate investigations and treatment were provided in a timely manner. In Nigeria, patients may have legal options where a healthcare provider or diagnostic center fails to meet the required standard of care and that failure results in harm or additional medical expenses.
The first step would be to carefully review all relevant medical records, scan results, receipts, admission notes, and prescriptions from both facilities, as well as records from the hospital where you were later diagnosed with acute pyelonephritis and cystitis. A legal assessment typically focuses on whether the doctors and diagnostic center acted reasonably, whether the scans were properly conducted and interpreted, and whether the delay contributed to your condition worsening. If you wish to proceed, we can advise on whether your case may support a negligence claim and explain the process, timelines, and evidence required. Please let us know if you are able to provide copies of your medical documents so the matter can be reviewed further.
Sincerely,
Ascendance International Consulting
