Horror As Woman Walks With Stillborn Baby Hanging Between Her Legs As Nurses Ignore Her Cries

A rather sad story emerging from Kenya indicates that a woman had to walk from her car with a stillborn baby hanging from her legs after striking nurses turned her away labeling her a crybaby.

According to the HealthTimes, the nurses at Harare Central Hospital ignored Valerie Mashiri, 37, who was experiencing labor pains arguing that it was not an emergency. They even labeled her a cry baby in the process.

Valerie is reported to have arrived at the hospital at around 1:00 am, and from the onset, she says she experienced hostility. Narrating her ordeal at Harare Central Hospital, Valerie told the publication,

“As l got to the nurse’s station, the nurse who attended me asked me what the problem was. I explained to her about the cramps and discharge. She then said to me, “Ndozvamafambira Husiku Huno [Is this why you come all this way for in the thick of the night]”.

She added that the doctor at the hospital did not even bother checking on her but insisted that she should get a scan first.

“…at this time with what l was feeling and the emotional stress that l had explained, they should have at least checked if everything was ok. I was in pain and could hardly walk or stand but under such hostility, l had to be brave.”

Because she should not afford the exorbitant charges being demanded by a private medical facility for the scans, Valerie braved the pain and decided to come back in the morning.

However, in the morning, she was rushed back to the hospital after her water broke. But much to her consternation, Valerie claims that the nurses did not attend to her. They were still insisting on the scan.
