Bimbo Manuel sits with Chude, explains why the doctor advised him to get a wheelchair

Bimbo Manuel, a Nollywood actor, has revealed how he became paralyzed as a result of a doctor’s wrong medication.

In the most recent episode of Chude Jideowo’s podcast, the actor reflected on his life, career, and other personal issues.

Manuel stated that the incident occurred years after he was in a car accident. The actor revealed that he went to a general hospital on Lagos Island after experiencing pain days after the accident.

He claimed that after multiple x-rays, a doctor at the hospital’s Orthopaedic section put him on treatment for rheumatism and arthritis. This, he claimed, aggravated his condition because he was unable to walk for a period of time.

He said this during the podcast: “I’ve been told three times to go and get a wheelchair and that was by experts, people who should know. They told me, Mr Manuel, do you know anyone abroad? Maybe they can get you the electric type so you’ll be able to use it myself but said no.”

It was a car accident that happened inside the town, and it went straight through my spine. I walked away from it because I had no idea. I experienced no pain. But after a short while, I began to experience discomfort.

I, therefore, decided to visit a general hospital on Lagos Island. I can still clearly recall the man’s name; he is an orthopedic expert.

“I was in my late twenties, early thirties and a doctor put me on treatment for rheumatism and arthritis until I couldn’t walk anymore. I lost all sensation on my right side, and I was frustrated. I just couldn’t go anywhere, the slightest movement would make scream.”, he said.

He was eventually transferred to the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital in Ile-Ife for medical attention, according to Bimbo. He continued by saying that after a few months in the hospital, he was finally able to walk.
