This is a totally different case. And trust me when I say Doctors/Nurses like this abound everywhere in the world. Btw, I do agree most Nigerians are not dedicated to their jobs (civil servants, Health practitioners, police, Phcn, etc...). But we always fail to realise we are the ones bringing our country down with our own hands due to our attitudes to our various works. We'd rather put the blame on what's 'not there' (Government).

I always say it that what most Nigerians suffer from is due to the negligence of another Nigerian in his/her job. And our negligence in our various positions is also making another Nigerian to suffer.

druid06: I don't think medical surgeries of this complexicity could be done in Nigeria. It's too advance for our surgeons and moreover I don't think there is any hospital equipped for such surgery in Nigeria. If anyone thinks otherwise, please name one institution..

dis one na INTERNATIONAL GBAGUN

gzib: Same reason why people go abroad for schooling, for masters program,and people go to dubai and other countries for vacation and same reason people prefer to buy toyota and honda buses instead of buying innoson motors from Aba and wear imported clothes instead of Aba made clothes. Above all watching English premier league, spanish league, italian league, eufa champions league etc instead of going to our local stadium to watch our local clubs.etc.
My brother, it is every where. confirm that you have not done any of these.

Man_51ut:

It's not really the same thing bro. Some of those things you mentioned, like the master's programmes, might be better, or more cutting edge. Ditto european soccer. Unless you're a coach you're watching it to be entertained, would you say NPL entertains you? If you could go and see the best nollywood actors act a play on stage, would you willingly say no, instead I'm going to watch the amateurs from my church? If you would, I commend your loyalty All those things are a matter of preference, or there is a clear difference in quality. Most people won't wear Aba made clothes, but they will wear Nigerian designers if the quality is good.

Now, in the case of kidney transplants. If the doctor knows what he is talking about, and you too should do research to raise points of concern, why would you spend the extra money and go abroad when there's a quite capable person here? Unlike football, clothes, or education, there is a sort of universal standard in medicine. I mean yeah you have world-class surgeons like that guy in colorado athletes go to see but there is a universal standard that means even the doctors here aren't some cack handed person playing operation with your body.

Those foreign hospitals, its a case of the grass is greener. My sister had surgery as a student in the US and then had another surgery in Lagos last year and they seem to have left some stuff inside. My mum also had surgery in the US, and they didn't give her any antibiotics, it's apparently not SOP there. Can you imagine not getting antibiotics in Naija? She had to be rushed back to the hospital a few days later because of infection. Why pay so much money extra for the same level of (in)competence. Unless you're going to go and be worked on by some guy who might win a nobel prize for medicine because of his research into kidney ailiments, it's all varying shades of the same level of skill.

I could be talking rubbish sha.
