The Same Hypocrites Who Insulted Nigerian Doctors Are Now "Mourning" Dr Adadevoh by ifyclose2(m): 11:13am On Aug 22, 2014
In 2003 a professor of Community Health Prof (Mrs) Obehi Okojie said to us "many people hate doctors, but they want their children to study Medicine"...I've never heard a more honest statement in my entire life....If there was a world cup 4 hypocrisy, Nigeria would be winning it every four years. So all u guys who have been insulting and bashing Nigerian doctors out of a combination of envy, jealousy and ignorance are now leading d "mourning" for Dr Adadevoh.....oh I see....all of a sudden, u guys appreciate d sacrificies doctors make for their patients despite all d challenges confronting d health sector.....challenges which d FG is not willing to address....well your "friend" Goodluck Jonathan has just travelled to Germany 4 medical check-up and left d rest of u ignorant people behind in Nigeria. Well, at least u can call your JOHESU "consultants" to come and attend 2 u if u have any health issues. But I forgot...since d outbreak of Ebola, JOHESU has been unusually silent....of course they are...because they lack d intellectual capacity and proactiveness to deal with d Ebola outbreak...AFTERALL, IT WAS THEIR "DARLING" NURSE WHO ESCAPED QUARANTINE, RAN TO ENUGU, AND PUT D LIVES OF MILLIONS OF NIGERIANS AT RISK...so it's back 2 d usual unsung heroes "the doctors" to handle. Dr Adadevoh isn't d only doctor who makes sacrifices for her patients. Thousands of doctors all over d country do. Some of us even go as far as making financial donations on behalf of poor patients who can't afford healthcare. I've witnessed this, and I've partaken in it as well. Now let's look at this: Contracting a disease like Ebola is part of d HAZARDS of d medical profession, and currently d FG pays doctors a monthly hazard allowance of N5k....so Dr Adadevoh was entitled to the GRAND SUM of N5k monthly for putting herself at risk of contracting d Ebola virus as well as other highly-transmissible diseases like HIV, Hepatitis and Lassa Fever (which killed a dear friend and colleague of mine some years back). And somebody wants us to just sit back and act like nothhing's wrong with d system? NO we won't. You guys attack Nigerian doctors for running private clinics, but all of a sudden, u turn around and praise Dr Adadevoh who was ALSO WORKING in a private hospital as at d time of her death. U Nigerians are amazing. Well, in case u don't know, d ban on residency training will have disastrous consequences on d health sector....consequences that only d average Nigerian like you and I will suffer. Politicians will continue to travel abroad for d slightest headache, while you and me are left in Nigeria to suffer d rot of d health sector. A ban on residency training means a stoppage in d production of SPECIALIST DOCTORS. So by the time that your child with Sickle Cell has to travel abroad to see a specialist, or women with Fibroids have to travel abroad for a simple Myomectomy operation, you will realize d rot in which d FG has placed d health sector. So continue your blind and sentimental support for stupidity....as for we doctors, d sky is always d limit, no matter d circumstance. Opportunities are limitless both within and outside d country. We are INDISPENSABLE, and d FG will soon realize that and go on it's knees. I'm aware from some very reliable sources that d FG is already trying to intervene through secret meetings involving Sen David Mark. As for d rest of you "mourning" Dr Adadevoh, keep your condolences to yourself....d NMA doesn't need them....and d Adadevoh family certainly doesn't need them.....bunch of sentimental hypocrites.

Almost everyday, I remind myself that 'there's a way Nigerians behave...'. Their attitude towards doctors is one of many that make me say that. It's envy/ignorance/jealousy/frustration. The country is a mess.

Everybody is in this together. i dont think it's only a doctor dat has contracted and die of dz disease. infact 2 nurses have died of this disease, if not more. stop speaking only for yourselves. Everybody is in dz mess together. not only NMA. JOHESU and all Nigerians. Remeber, doctor is not the only professional that treat sawyer. We are in this together, Mr man.

You sited how the johesu lacked emergency proactiveness,very true!!! Απϑ NMA infact Ȋ̝̊̅§ worse here are they not leading the health team @ the moment?what proactive measures did they put in place if perhaps ebola ever got τ̅☺ Nigeria as it did? Since the outbreak got τ̅☺ liberia since Feb.but № they don't think beyond issues concerning 24 points agenda.

You sited how a nurse ran away from quarantine Απϑ travelled τ̅☺ Enugu endagering peoples life.very stupid of that nurse ℓ̊ must say but people behave stupid if they are senseless regardless of Their profession,some doctors may do more terrible things.ℓ̊ have also heard rumours recently about a doctor who worked with first consultant hospital had contact wit the index Απϑ denied contact.untill recently he showed symptoms of ebola Απϑ called his pastor for prayers before he eventually landed in the Hosp.

U talked about doctors going out of Their way τ̅☺ help patients,even paying Their bills ,nice of such doctor.Anyone who has the fear of God will go out of his way τ̅☺ assist others doctors not left out.Now let me tell you nurses have been involved mostly in going out of Their way forr the patients including financial Απϑ psychological Απϑ going even as far as attending τ̅☺ patients personal issues.ℓ̊ have on ♍Ɣ own wondered this,despite doctors earn better than nurse.yet they haven't made noise about it.but such Ȋ̝̊̅§ commendable anyways .

Govt have been doing these forr doctors though our govt isn't perfect with the hard paid taxes of the citizens yet your selfishness fail τ̅☺ see?
You Ƌ̲яε̲̣̣̣̥ weeping over banning residency,Απϑ how doctors Ƌ̲яε̲̣̣̣̥ indispensible!of course we all know they Ƌ̲яε̲̣̣̣̥ very important the govt also knows that.it hasn't sacked all doctors either but resident doctors as your NMA's selfishness has pushed her τ̅☺ do.must govt pay you for going τ̅☺ school for six years Απϑ more be4 you do?you can work as a medical officer Απϑ if you @ some point feel τ̅☺ improve on yourslf ℓ̊.e τ̅☺ practice a consultant which means more pay Απϑ expertise!
