Pat Utomi: Doctors Declared Me Dead From Internal Bleeding In Accident That Killed My Driver Instantly
Renowned Nigerian Political Economist and politician, Professor Pat Utomi, has gone on social media to recount a terrible car accident that made doctors at Boromeo Hospital in Onitsha declare him dead.
The former Presidential Candidate posted on his Facebook wall on Thursday, where he disclosed that his near-death episode unfolded in July 1991 near Asaba, Delta State capital.
His unnamed driver had been killed on the spot
Thanking God for returning him from the brink of death, Utomi credited a particular surgeon in charge who refused to give up and continued efforts to save him for hours.
Utomi said he was later found alive and taken into surgery to stop the internal bleeding caused by the accident.
He wrote:
“35 years ago, doctors at Boromeo Hospital in Onitsha told the Chief of Surgery that they had lost me.
“No pulse.
“No breathing.
“But the surgeon refused to give up. He insisted on fighting on, determined to at least “fulfill all righteousness.”
“Then, against all expectations, they found me alive and proceeded with surgery to stop the internal bleeding caused by an accident near Asaba the night before.
“The accident had already claimed the life of my driver.
“July will always be a month of non-stop thanksgiving in my family.
“Years later, I found myself in another close shave, this time during the 7/7 terror!st attacks on London’s transport system.
“Looking back at it all, one thing is certain: if God is with you, you have everything.
“Gratitude to my Maker.”
