[SIZE=7]Detained in Hospital: Child, Mother detained over unpaid bills[/SIZE]
in some jurisdictions, lawyers would be camping in that hospital 24/7 , offering pro bono to the victims of this illegal detention, human rights activist will be on tow too. these incidences are very rampant in .ke, and we seem to have accepted them as a way of life.
My mum is a lawyer and we talk about this often. You need doctors and staff to be able to testify against the same hospitals that they practice at to accertain claims and that is where cases go cold. Doctors will never agree to mudsling when you want to sue the daylights out of a facility and they are forced to do out of court settlements.
this one is a case of illegal detention by the hospital, hii hata watchman can testify, all is needed here is the hospital management to testify under oath.
the essence of suing in civil a civil case , is to get out ot court settlement, but in this case, that detention is on the criminal side.
so, how do Kenyan health facilities charge for their services, like, can i walk to this oakwood facility and request for their medical code that generated the bill ?

It’s kidnapping for a ransom, that’s what it is and it should be called as such!
Kenya can offer universal care there was such a resolve
Some of these political elites like Njonjo, SM oriented, Khaminwa, Orengo should have a non profit organization that fund lawyers who can take pro bono cases (especially fresh college graduates). But our selfish culture won’t allow.
Personally, soon I’ll be a philanthropist and I’ll be funding such calls with my meager cash. It feels good when you change human life. It’s a feeling that money won’t fulfill.
in some jurisdiction , you get a traffic violation ticket, and your mail box is full of letters, lawyer lending you their services. kuna boy wangu east coast alikuwa anafanya job za road construction, bahati mbaya akachotwa na ngari akiwa works, lawyers were revolving around him, asking him for representation , hadi kuna lawyer jungu alikuwa anaongea sapere, akitaka apewe hio job.
in .ke, there’re numerous opportunities for lawyers to polish there careers while making our society better, but they seem to have their priorities somewhere else.
Yep. I know you won’t agree with me on this. Mzito trump with his minions surgically sterilized immigrants under detention to make them not reproduce. Lawyers got a wind of it, the women are PR as we speak now and are waiting for millions of dollars for body harm, illegal coercion, medical malpractice benefits…
The least amount any one of the women will get is not less than $1m. Remember these lawyers are pro-bonos. It’s good to live in a country where systems work.
Our society is ruled by fear plus the Kenyan constitution is trash.
Fear in the sense that if a doctor testifies and a hospital is fined, the doctor will be a marked man. Hatafanya job kwingine, his fellow doctors will shun him, etc. We had a case where a cousin(who was giving birth through cs) was overdosed through anaesthesia, the pathologist that did the postmortem saw exactly what the cause was but there was no way he would finger the culprit. Instead in the heat of the moment, the fool made us pay him an additional 10k to go and do tests and growths he chopped off from some organs of her corpse. He never brought the report claimed to be busy after the funeral and sent a fellow doc to ask why we need a report anyway since we already buried her.
The cases are many but ni vile money changes hands under the table hutaziskia.
Pole sana.
kwani unafikiria daktari ni wajinga. Nani atakojoa penye anakula. They also get a cut of the proceeds. The more money they make from patients, the more they get in bonuses. Private hospital is a BUSINESS ukienda huko ujue hiyo ni BIASHARA ya mtu
If it’s a criminal case then kazi ni kwa DCI, DPP and the police
Hapa, the child was treated and he seems okay, so, the medical part is fine, what is wrong, is the administrative end of the hospital, that detained the mother and the child.
Of interest, and what i’d like the justice system to determine, is whether the accumulated fee, which is as a result of illegal detention is legal ?
acheni Kapitalism iitwe Kapitalism
Just pay the bill bila drama mingi and leave the hospital peacefully
Doctors ni watu worse than parasitic owners of capital, ukiwaona kwa free medical camp kuna NGO huwa imewalipa, hakuna kitu wanaeza fanya free, na brotherhood yao huwa tight kuliko ile ya freemasons, hakuna doctor atawahi patikana guilty of professional negligence siku ata moja
We have several incompetent lawyers as you know
Courses zote zenye zinakuwa offered kwa universities za kenya, Law ndio iko na requirements zile za chini zaidi, bora uko na C+ na umepita language moja, ni ivo. kama fees iko, io ndio course ya failures
Very true, pale campus kuna jama tulitoka naye high school jama alifail but ju wako na pesa, mtoto alifanya to law …Alafu kuna huyu jama pia alikuwa number last lst na aradi vitu, pale campus alikuwa anafanya Clinical medicine. hapo ndo nilisema heri nitibiwe na mganga sasa.
Many have been found and punished.
Lakini hapa poa we are blaming health workers Bure.
Their job is to give care. Maneno ya pesa na payment is someone else’s jurisdiction. Why should he/ she meddle in something out of his control.
Mark you in some private hospitals, some doctors agree to waive their fee ndio bill ipunguzwe. Not all. Ni kujitetea tu
