Ambulance. And it was in that same ambulance she stayed till they stabilized her and gave her some drugs and after asking loads of questions to unravel why her BP was high she was let go. She did not pay a dime! She was just a "student" in a foreign land and she was treated

And accorded so much respect but sadly can't say same for us here In Nigeria.
We see so many stories of lives lost due to the distasteful Healthcare system.
It gets worse everyday.

Take a trip to your local. Hospital in your LGA at the grassroot level and see the decay and how our leaders have left us to rot. Yet they all budget millions for the Healthcare sector??
They embezzled these funds but the hospital mgt. too are also part of the corruption
