  • The radiographer was sacked for negligence of duty as he was unable to provide the key to the emergency xray room for an investigation to be carried out on a patient

The Management of the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital (UCTH) has terminated the appointment of a Locum Radiographer following the death of a patient at the institution on Wednesday.

The radiographer was sacked for negligence of duty as he was unable to provide the key to the emergency xray room for an investigation to be carried out on a patient.

According to a hospital source who pleaded anonymity, “the worker was dismissed over failure to provide the key to the emergency xray room.

“The deceased was rushed to the hospital last night and was immediately examined by the emergency team.

“When they were done with their job, they invited the radiographer to examine the patient’s lungs at the emergency xray room but he could not find the key to the room.

“After several hours, the patient went into coma and subsequently died.

“The sad story is that the dismissed radiographer could not provide any explanation on the xray room key.”

Irked by the development, the hospital management terminated the appointment of the Locum Radiographer through a letter dated January 22.

In the letter signed by the hospital director of administration, Dr Maria Bassey, no reason was given for the termination of appointment.

The letter reads: “this is to inform you that your services in the UCTH as a radiographer are no longer required. Consequently, your appointment is hereby terminated with immediate effect.”
