talktimi: There is precedence, though i dont condone jungle justice or barbaric behavior of any kind but many of our doctors and nurses have been known to administer wrong drugs leading to fatalities. Ive personally lost a sibling in such a way.

I am assuming u reached ur conclusion as a result of an autopsy carried out by the coroner. Still no justification for the treatment meted out to the nurse. This is one of rhe reasons why some hospitals reject patients.

I thought the angry relatives were male and more than two. If that security is a male, he should be fired.
Those relatives are callous and the relatives of the nurse should arrest them and lock them up.
I know those nurses lack manners, are insensitive and throw flippant remarks, these would teach those at that hospital to behave like humans. She could have made caustic comments about their bringing the deceased late for proper care.
But notwithstanding, trying to kill her wasn't warranted.

OGAattheTOP: It is obvious that the patient will die one day, so why desiring to add misery upon misery?

@Bolded You're in no position to say that. The least you could do is make dying patients feel comfortable. What you wrote up there is a pointer that you support euthanasia. PROBABLY the nurse has the same perspective as yours.
Re: Deceased’s Relations Beat-up Nurse, For Administering "Wrong Medication" by ajasa4link: 2:22pm On Nov 06, 2013
In saner societies the relatives would've instituted a legal action against the nurse for negligence or vicarious liability on the part of the hospital... But due to their barbaric behavior they've lost that right and the nurse should Sue them for assault and battery and now they will end up being broke after paying her damages....

So when it became obvious that God was helpless in her case they turned to science. Unfortunately her case deteriorated so badly even medical science was hopeless. And they turned around to attack a nurse who was just doing her job. Pastors please stop deceiving your members. Encourage them to visit the hospital for check-ups & treatment. There's no such thing as faith healing

In fact I had to challenge them today after spending hours waiting for them to finish their briefing,(at the children emergency ward) I started seeing them (nurses) inviting people in on a man know man basis...No lessons learnt at all!

Mr Man, are you saying there has not been cases of negligence from nurses and doctors! Even if it was a liver failure or terminal illness, am sure, if properly managed, she could have lived longer! So pls dont act as if there have never been cases of negligence from hospital management. I have seen many many of such cases!

phineas: Its a case of assault against Nigerian health workers that's been condoned by the soceity for yrs finally reaching its peak.Health workers have suffered perpertual verbal assault @ the hands of Nigerians and physical assault like this isn't new.

The popular story of the nasarawa police shooting and beating drs who explained they had no space in their morgues and where told to invent space,forgetting they had full responsibilty to protect the bodies they had accepted in their custody,many cases abound of which I really don't care to go into.

Most health workers who have and care aboout dignity of self simply refuse to practice in Nigeria.If she administered wrong medication or not a panel should have been set up and investigated,the medical profession must rise to the responsibility of protecting its workers in the country by ensuring stringent standards and protocols for all matters arising with sanctions where necesary.

What happens to cases of clear negligence on the part of medical practitioneers that are usually covered up by the NMA?

Oga Drug interaction, pharmcology n pharmaco-kinetics a search on google or reading the drugs leaflet may educate you! Talking like one of those criminals in white is not a reasonable thing.

Can you imagine I was deceived by these callous beings in white that there was no space in the photo-therapy light section used to treat jaundice, hence they directed me to another criminal in white who heads the gynecology unit who has his private hospital in town Mother n Child specialist....where I was billed more than the cost of ante natal and child birth for a 12 hour photo therapy treatment without drugs! It took a call to a doctor in U.C.H Ibadan to bail me out!

While there, I observed that he also had a still born in a funny looking incubator, after collecting about 50,000 from the parents he told them they had to drop more as their money had expired in less than a week! Yet this criminal has the clout and influence to get them an incubator @ d Teaching hospital which was less than 2 kilometres away in fact his reapers at the Teaching hospital sent them as I later learnt!

The saddest part was that over the weekend the Shylock doctor (female pediatrician) he employed did not come around hence the baby was left at the mercy of auxiliary nurses since there's no single qualified nurse in the whole hospital!

The word TERMINAL says it all; it means end stage or the end, so anybody with terminal illness isn't expected to make it, whether given the right or wrong medicine.
In this case, the patient appeared to have died soon after administration of the medication, which the relatives must have tied to the immediate action of the nurse - apparently in ignorance, though it doesn't rule out that the drugs weren't the actual cause of death.
I am glad to see that the hospital is already taking the correct approach by insisting on an autopsy.
Bottomline, the woman would have eventually died of her disease in any case; the attack was therefore unnecessary - though I sympathise with the relatives.

Can they prove that it was the injection administered by the Nurse that killed the woman. If they were that good they should have kept her at home and treated her themselves. I see nothing wrong in relations being angry following the death of their family member but it's preposterous for them to want to kill a nurse for something they can't prove.
im not saying that the nurse is guilty or not though obviously the fault here comes from the deceased and her family but what i was just trying to emphasise is that Nigerian doctors have been known to administer wrong treatments on patients leading to fatalities even as at now, an elderly aunt of mine is outside this country for skin grafting due to a long mis diagnoses of her ailment for a very long time by Nigerian doctors here in Lagos, it was my cousin who is a doctor based in Germany who just saw a photograph of her ravaged skin via email and correctly diagnosed a bone infection which was triggered and started eating her flesh, my younger brother died after being given a wrong injection by a nurse when he was still little. Nigerian doctors really need to go back to school and read all over again especially the younger generation.

Well am sorry if you feel offended but as a matter of fact I have met some wonderful doctors there too, but I stand by all I have said here. I dont think I am interested in seeing you to shorten my stay no! But thanks anyways. Well he may not be the exact head of gynny but he needs to be investigated for pilfering patients from the Teaching hospital and his REAPERS brought to book! If you need me to assist in weeding out these elements let me know. At a time I spent time appealing to patient's relatives @ d new adult emergency who were super infuriated because of the way they were addressed by the bayan workers.
My younger sis happens to be a nurse there....so why apologise to her for referring her sibling to a private hospital because they did not know me?

If you know so damn much, is it the nurse thats supposed to prescribe the temporary drugs to be administered, before they lay their hands on the proper drugs, as said in the story? From your knowledge of treating CLD, how would you judge or gauge the action of the nurse? Did she display any traits of professionalism? Are you totally absolving most of our medical practitioners of occasional acts of misdemeanour? Are you forgetting that some sick people have relatives in the medical profession who can ask the right questions? The op responding to this thread might be one. Consider issues from all angles, before responding in the market square, like NL.
