You are wicked, how can order from above stop you from saving someone's life, if its your sister will you watch her die like that?
You are a doctor and thats your job irrespective of the order above.

Madam dis is nt Romance section, cos dats d only place u make reasonable contribution

I think saving a life is paramount irrespective of the order from above.

am with you bro.....though it may sound difficult but I think the order from above doesn't justify leaving the injured patients to die....op...as a doc. u messed up....but as an employee you followed protocol

stop wasting your time quoting idiots who are not in a medical field like you

This' one of the reasons I detest foolish youths whose only source of joy is derived from singing praises to our useless government officials and politicians that has brains as bald as egg shell.

Tears run down my cheek as I type this. I went into d medical profession to Save lives, but today I watched a patient die and I could do nothing.
It was around 11am today, 26th Dec 2015, I wz in the emergency room as the only Dr & House officer on call in a state Specialist hospital wen a peugeot wagon followed by a police van drove in. They opened d doors & trunk and started bringing out Accident victims. I did a quick triage & saw dat d 2 in d trunk were in a more critical condition, So d immediate plan was to refer d 2 to FMC wia dey hav better hands and equipment to handle it. So I asked d policeman who d driver is so dat d 2 will be rushed to FMC & he said he died at d Accident scene. I ran outside to buy airtime to start calling other HOs, b4 I could return, dey had dropped d 2 & drove off.
I called other HOs, only 2 showed up, others had travelled. To my greatest suprise, I called a medical officer who is a snr colleague in d proffession, she said I shud nt touch anyone till dey paid. That I shud Infact refer all of dem. I was incapacitated, d patients were in pains, crying, calling on us to help, some already unconscious, but we couldnt help cos we have an order frm above.
Within 5mins, 1 young lady in her early 20s died. Abt 10mins later, another police van came and carried d remaining 7 to FMC.
This evening, some road safety corps came to inquire if any Accident victims were brought to our center. They had retrieved d manifest frm d vehicle and contacted d families of d passengers. Dey came wit d relations of one of d patients, and wen I told dem 1 of dem died, dey asked for d Description of d 1 dat died and I showed dem d pix of d gal dat died, behold she was d 1 dey were looking for and right there was the gal's fiancee. Their traditional wedding was to be in 3days tym
I want to use this medium to call on the govt to make policies dat"ll enable Drs treat patients in such condition. Let's Save the human race

Honestly if I were u, I ll deposit some money from my pocket and save the dying souls n damn d order from above. Gosh!!! Nigeria is so pathetic. This can't happen in a civilised world, not even in poor countries of Asia. Save d live first!!!!
money is not everything. Feeling so bad right now.

I wonder how who so ever That gave such wicked order use to sleep at night. Smh

The OP should accept responsibility. Psychologically speaking, you posted this article because your conscience is truly judging you that you did not give your best.

You want to pass the blame to your Oga, and hide under "orders" from above for plain cowardice to do the right thing.

Heroes are made in impossible situations.

You have no consolation from me. It is your fault that some died. You could have made a difference.

You are a big disappointment to the profession, and humanity.

i was having a sweet siesta dis afternoon wen my room mate woke me up with a good punch to my ribs. I woke up nd looked at him feeling dazed nd bewildered wen he blurted out ''don't u know dat today is boxing day''? ''Oh i almost forgot'' i replied him.......................:. Well he is currently in d hospital receiving treatment.

Umm,All will be well. Being an house officers is just like being a teaching practice student who would never go against his/her cooperate teacher's command. I so much believe in destiny.May God be our guide and guardian till d end of dis year and years to come.Inah lilahi wa ina ilehi rajiun.

A nurse controlling a doctor. Ridiculous! If it was your sister or mother....would you still listen to orders from above? Very painful that she died and you could have done SOMETHING

I feel you Dr.

The system is rotten

this attitude of, 'don't touch until money is paid bla bla' by senior doctors is quite depressing! to be candid, the doctors have no basis for blaming government policies or whatever if doctors can go on strike on the basis of wage increase, implementation etc, what stops them from embarking on a strike to have policies that are patient-centred?? i don't suppose they will ever do that.....because the average nigerian isn't his brother's keeper...fact! reminds me of a medical doctor friend i once lost in a vehicle crash. it was he who was on call duty that evening. at some point he left the hospital (a federal medical centre) to quickly get something outside the premises. he was driving when a drunk driver crashed into his car at top speed. he was brought to the same hospital....and when he was brought in, no one wanted to attend to him simply because they didn't think it was important to do so. somehow, along the line, they got to know he was a member of their staff...by then it was too late because he had already passed on!!! so sad...so callous

I think saving a life is paramount irrespective of the order from above.

that is when u open ur hospital not when u are working for someone

Ur a murderer how there u talk about following orders from above, ur not obliged to obey immoral order,take a moment and assume is ur mother or family member, you would have defer the obey and treat them,

if that girl that died was your sister will you have listen to the "authority from above" not to save her when you can do so.

At times we need to do extra ordinary things or go the extra mile to save lives and rescue people we love and value, don't forget that's what Jesus came to do for us and we are celebrating him.

Well am not trying to judge you, but that was the thought that came to my heart when I was reading your write up, if that girl was your sister, what will you have done. *tears*

people wey no even know anything about how a government hospital is being runned na dem go come out first to criticise

cosmatika:
Did u read everything at all? I'm a house officer, d lowest in d medical ladder. Can't tek some decisions wtout my snrs. Its a govt hospt & nt my father's

wats if at that point u called ur snr and her number wasn't going tru ? Wud u hv still allowed d accident victim to die or if she happens to be one of ur relation.....sometimes we just hv to put our selves in other people's shoe.
