A female medical doctor, Dr. Vwaere Diaso, a Babcock University graduate who is said to have less than two weeks to complete her housemanship, has allegedly died in an elevator accident at the General Hospital Odan in Lagos Island.
According to report, Diaso who was going down to pick a package from a dispatch rider, fell to her death on Monday, after the elevator she was in dropped from the 10th floor of the building.
It was also alleged that it took the hospital one hour before the body of the victim was evacuated and rushed to the emergency before she died.
Sharing the news, a Twitter user, Big Amara, wrote;
“A doctor who had just 2 weeks to complete her housemanship just died in a general hospital(Odan, Lagos island) due to poor management and negligence!!! The elevator she was in, fell from the 10th floor to the ground! The video was so painful to watch.”
Another user Tweeted;
“This is the video. The elevator hasn’t been working well for the past year. Whoever was in charge ate the money and the management has been patching it up despite complaints from resident doctors.

“They are still even owing salaries of doctors that worked last year Dec but we have no one to fight for us. If you talk they threaten you with License suspension.”
Olanrewaju Aiyepola tweeted;
“Particularly aggrieved because we’ve complained for a long time about this elevator. We’ve manoeuvred, managed and prayed each time we had to use it. Empty promises will be made to fix it….till it killed one of us.”
Kiky Festus tweeted:
I’m so angry cause they have been complaining about this elevator for years. Even when I go visit my friend more than 2 people can’t go in it and if it stops at the 6th floor you have to use your hands to close it yourself and step back behind a line to even out your weight.
“All she wanted to do was get her food from a dispatcher downstairs It even took them an hour to get her out of the elevator She was still conscious even with fractures, she was taken to emergency and then another delay, no blood. This country failed her.”
