Justice for Justin: Medical Negligence at Benson Idahosa University, Nigeria!

It is indeed very disheartening that in a profession as crucial as the medical profession, we have a lot of carefree individuals parading themselves to be doctors and nurses, who go about their duties with so much indifference and without even comprehending what the profession entails!
What more can we say?
We live in a country where "salaries/wages" are the driving force for every occupation. Nevertheless, people have lost their passion in pursuit of money. If this is not the case how would you explain that a university "one of the so called private universities in Nigeria" where the elites deposit their children with the belief that the best would be available to them there as a result of the "huge sum" of money they pay as school fees unlike the public universities, cannot hire and maintain an almost flawless medical department for its student knowing how important this is?????
Well, i'm pretty sure you wondering why i've said all these you should read below the complaint of a mother as regards the death on her son in Benson Idahosa University:
My son, Yves Justin Nnamdi Ukwu died on the 26th of may, 2015. He was a 200 level undergraduate student of international studies and diplomacy at the Benson Idahosa University, Benin, at the Health Plus Medical Center of the institution. 
He was admitted at the medical centre on Sunday, May 24th, 2015, drips administered, no food given despite pleas from his school friends for food and further treatment/attention for him. His last words to me were Okay, Good night, I’m very tired now, at 21:20pm on Monday May 25th, 2015. 
On Tuesday, May 26th, 2015 at 9:12am a phone call was placed to me from 08188781415 informing me that my son was being moved from the school Medical Center to their affiliated specialist Clinic, Faith Mediplex, to receive blood transfusion AND would be discharged that evening. I was assured that his condition was not serious. 
Unfortunately, from 12:17pm that day, I started receiving calls from Dr. Idahosa of Faith Mediplex, Benin, she said that my son’s condition was serious. I arrived Benin at 17:17hrs from Port Harcourt, traced Faith Mediplex and left unattended for over 30minutes. After much insistence on my part, I was eventually informed that my son had died of a sickle cell crisis at 2:15pm on that day, May 26, 2015. How can this have happened when my son was NOT a sickle cell patient? My genotype is AS while his father is AA. 
QUESTIONS 
1) Why was my son, Justin, kept on drips without food for his entire stay in the school medical centre despite the pleas of his friends?
2) The minimum PVC level required for blood transfusion in a human being is 45, why was Justin Ukwu still left unattended to when his PVC level dropped to 27? 
3) Why was no call put through to his next of kin through out his ill health till 9:12am on 26/05/2015 when he was dying AND even then, the true state of his health NOT divulged? 
4) Why was he denied proper medical attention? Even if he was a sickler, was the treatment given to him the right treatment for someone in that condition? Starvation, abandonment, verbal and physical abuse are definitely NOT integral parts in managing any illness. 
5) Why is there such a concerted attempt to distort/deny that such an act of criminal negligence occurred from the primary care givers, the marina Consultants (HMO) and the Benson Idahosa University, Benin which has a chief Medical Director and whose parent body runs a specialist clinic, Faith Mediplex, which has surgeons, nurses and other medical staff who could have been seconded to the University Medical Centre. 
My questions must be answered and until they are, I will continue to fight for justice for my beloved, caring, gentle son, Yves Justin Nnamdi Ineye Ukwu. 
This tragedy must never reoccur, 
# Justice for Justin.

And am still wondering why a clinic would starve a patient.....
