I lost my first grandchild in 2019 in a federal medical center. He died due to bleeding. He was receiving a drip, but it got blocked at night, and there was no help from doctors or nurses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The situation worsened as the child lost over 60 percent of his blood and began struggling mentally. Desperate for help, he rolled on the floor and even poured early morning dew on himself in search of water. However, no one found him until the next morning when he was discovered in a coma.<\/p>\n<p>Despite efforts to revive him,  using a defibrillator, the young child couldn\u2019t be saved. Akpabio learned that the defibrillator had not worked for eight years. He personally tried to revive the child, but tragically, he had to close his eyes and put him in the mortuary.<\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: TheWriter\u2019sPen (via  Opera<br \/>News )<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"copyright hide\">\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
