Reflecting on the ordeal, he emphasized how it prompted him to become more vigilant about his health.
Recalling the incident around 2016, he shared, "I began experiencing peculiar symptoms after being treated for about two days and discharged. So, I took the initiative to research the medication prescribed to me and discovered it contained a Sulphur-based component, which posed a risk due to my G6PD condition."
Expressing his disbelief, he continued, "Sulphur is a known trigger for my condition. I questioned why I was given such medication for nearly 6 to 8 months. Were they trying to harm me?!" Upon confronting the medical staff, they acknowledged the error and apologized.
