He was always on call
The doctors, in a letter addressed to the Chief Medical Director, LUTH, Prof. Wasiu Lanre Adeyemo, narrated that Michael’s roommate said the deceased returned home at about 3:00 a.m. Sunday, after a 72-hour shift in the hospital. Also, he had barely slept in their apartment before that day.
