President Yar'Adua would die without life support -Doctors
…May have been moved to Germany
…He is not with us -German Hospital
Amidst speculations that sickly President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua has been moved from Saudi Arabia to Germany, sources close to his aides said doctors treating him may have warned that the Nigerian President would die if he is removed from the life support.
There have been speculations that President Yar’Adua has been moved to a German Hospital because his medical conditions worsened in the last few weeks.
He is believed to have been moved to either HSK Dr. Horst Schmidt Klinik or Deutsche Klinik für Diagnostik ( DKD) both based in Wiesbaden in Germany. The President has regularly visited the two hospitals in the past.
Sources told Pointblanknews.com that there were two options for the President outside Saudi Arabia-United States or Germany. Governor Issa Yuguda of Bauchi State was in the United States recently to shop for any top flight hospital that would admit the President. But sources said he could not get an admission for his father-in-law because most hospitals he visited in the United States were honest about Yar’Adua’s health and his chances.
However, sources informed Pointblanknews.com that as a result of the critical condition of the President, he would be on life support for a long time.
The Source who would not want to be named because he is not authorized to speak on the issue also hinted that doctors have also warned of the consequences of removing President Yar’Adua from life support.
When Pointblanknews.com called HSK Dr. Horst Schmidt Klink, a female voice at the medical records said that the hospital has no name like Yar’Adua or Umaru on their record, but confirmed that a patient from Saudi Arabia was recently brought to the Hospital.
She however added that a patient classified as VIP’s did not check into the hospital with his real name.
“I am sorry I have just checked through the list of patients here and we don’t have such name here. But we have someone who was transferred from Saudi Arabia some weeks ago but the name listed here is Abdullah and not what you just gave me now.”
According to the lady “it is possible that he checked in with a different name because some people do that but we don’t have that name here.”
At the Deutsche Klinik für Diagnostik in Wiesbaden, pointblanknews.com was told by a front desk officer that the hospital does not have anyone from Nigeria “Sorry we don’t have any one with that name here,” |
