Crocz:

Shame on you too

Thank you. Please do yourself a favour. Go get a life. You seriously need one.

who is unemployed?
That's why you still roaming the streets!

Mr No Remorse

Guess what? I'm laughing at your naivety in Swahili.

gunpoint:

Don't mind the idiot.
He let her die and came her to post it
Heartless fook

Don't mind him. Even our so-called Nigerian police was even more pragmatic than him. Can you imagine they went back to take the remaining victims to another hospital before this guy will 'kill' them with his inaction.

How many of those castigating the OP have everstopped to help people at an accident site or helped pay any accident victims emergency bill. The doctor is a product of his society. Do you think he is not aware that this could be him in a strange place or his sister or his mother. He posted that this was the worst day of his life and my advice to him as a more senior doctor is to hurry up and get out of this country and practice medicine in a saner environment or find something else to do with his life.
I have paid patients bills, bought food for indigent patients, bought emergency drugs from my pocket, donated blood for patients whom I do not know from Adam. The last patients relative I gave money to run investigations for his child took off, left his child on the ward and dissappeared. The surgery had to be cancelled because the pre op investigations had not been done. Nigerians have no love for one another,no value for human life generally but expect their fellow Nigerians to be angels because they studied medicine.

I'm narrowing my search on the quack. He is from abia and schooled in abia state university teaching hospital.
He is doing his housemanship at the abia state specialist hospital, aba road, umuahia (which is why he was quick to refer patience to the FMC, which is directly opposite the accursed specialist hospital).

I will place some calls tomorrow morning; my friend is a consultant at FMC, umuahia. My ex works as a nurse at the specialist hospital umuahia. I will confirm if fatal accident victims were brought to their hospitals and then try and narrow down the stupid doctors in charge.

Cosmatik, I don't know you but I will find you, and you will pay dearly for this.

That's what happens wen they take an oath of saving life on/with medical tools. I bet u if they do take the oath in big Shrine like 'Okija Shrine' fear no go allow dem mek dey misbehave. Only few like u will survive.

Always Follow ur good hart...even if ur being sacked, u will get another hospital that values a life sever that you are. Take hart!

The guy has nothing to pay, except for bringing such an issue out in the open. Before we get too quick to blame him, let us ask who his teachers/role models are. Are they not those MOs who stay away from their work places, and practice their sordid version of "telemedicine"? In case you wanna go for anyone, let it be his superiors, who obviously need leadership training, an update in medical ethics and medicolegal issues. They obviously couldn't give or teach the young man what they didn't have!

[quote author=cosmatika post=41367852]

These are my observations and comments based on my experience in and out of Nigeria in both public and private sectors.

1. House officers are doctors in training and should never be in charge of A&E. Most HOs could hardly secure IV access or suture in the first few weeks of internship. I was trained in a teaching hospital with Paediatrics, Obst and Gynae, Surgery and Internal Med departments having the HOs and Registrars manning different cubicles together in the A&E even during holidays and weekends.
HOs must work with Casualty Officers and see accident victims together in order to gain experience.

2. In General Hospitals, the Medical Officer is supposed to be on ground to see emergency cases with the HOs. My experience with General Hospitals is that most patients are referred to the FMCs or Teaching Hosp without any resuscitation. How on earth do an MO ask HO to ask for deposit or refer critical cases without even seeing the patients.

3. The poster should have attempted to do some resuscitation such as secure IV access, give plasma expanders, secure bleeders etc. Every A&E should have surgical gloves, suturing materials, canula, giving set etc for all emergency cases without any deposit. This is the practise except things have changed (am talking of 15 years ago).

4. In future you need to document every action taken because your MO is likely to deny your allegation on deposit or referral.

5. Referral should not be done by an HO but a senior doctor. HO is not yet a fully licensed doc but practising with a provisional license and cannot be communicating with another hospital as a doctor since he has a senior.

6. It is unethical to put this kind of scenario in the social media. You have implicated yourself, your colleagues and the hospital. I bet you this is not the end of the matter. This case is likely to end up at the Medical and Dental Council, Ministry of Health or the State House of Assembly or even in a court of law. The social media is going to take this up in order to verify if there is any Government hospital in Nigeria asking for deposit for accident victims. Mind you people have being able to trace your hospital and you stated the date and time of the incident.

7. It is unethical to take pictures without informed consent. You could be sued for this.

8. I hope the hospital do a weekly or monthly review to discuss this type of scenario.

9. What is the hospital policy concerning emergencies? We dont need to blame the doctors until we actually know what is the environment they are working in. I wont be crossed if it is a private hospital but a Government Hospital such not be demanding any deposit by attending to emergency.

Don't know much about the medical field and their chain of command et all... But one thing is for sure...

Most don't really really REALLY love saving lives... I don't know if its due to the state of the country which translates to poor mentoring then to poor learning condition/environment then to poor internship then to negligence of core duty- saving lives!

(I can act non-chalant to so many things... Except when it involves a life - there aint no second chance. A life lost can never EVER be re-gained)

Like I said don't know much about medical bla bla bla... But from the OP's epistle... He dint mention anything like performing "FIRST AID" on the patients he discovered (from the triage he did) were in the most critical condition compared to others - this I blame him for!

Reason is, I believe he started well by trying to help the victims yet I think he could had been persuasive enough to convince his "Senior Colleague" to allow him do that - first aid or more.... Atleast!

Op... Please next time try to channel your positive energy into effectively persuading your "senior colleague" to atleast allow you or some other doctors to perform first aid on the victim... Hmmm biko.. Thank you!

God save us all!

I am going to make the assumption that making anyone 'pay dearly' doesn't involve any sort of physical manhandling or jungle justice because I abhore that to the highest degree and its a crime on its own. It doesn't solve the wider problem and is short sighted quasi-solution that makes the instigator(s) feel like they have achieved something when in actual fact they have achieved nothing except displaying their complete ignorance of the root causes and that they are bereft of logical reasoning.

I think that the proper channels should be followed to raise a concern or make a complaint about a doctor or a team of doctors as it were. Anything that doesn't involve the MDCN, NMA, MOH or even the law courts is missing the plot and is running along the lines of a personal vendetta and is also amenable to prosecution on the part of the instigator

The young doctor failed his patient no doubt. Given that he's a HO hes practising under the license of his boss and he/she must be made to answer too. At any given point a team is on duty but what you see physically most of the time is the most junior HO. In my opinion the team must be made to give account- from MO, residents to consultants.

It's commendable if people make the time to follow this up because Nigeria will never change unless we demand to be treated as humans.

You are just a clown. All your huffing and puffiing has come to naught.

Three months ago,you were here claiming Jack Bauer

What have you found?

Abeg shift!

Op is not even a doctor..did anyone read this post from his 2013 diary?

cosmatika post=:

I was born and bred in my village, somewhere in the South-Eastern Nigeria. I lost my dad when I was 8yrs, so was raised by my poor single mother. I attended primary & secondary schools in my villa, so I m a typical example of what you can call a village boy. Fortunately or unfortunately, the state University is in my village, so I got admission to study Igbo language and linguistics. Very soon I ll be going for youth service, and I hope to serve in my village cos I m feeling somehow to leave the only place I ve known for the 21yrs of my life.
But as a small boy, my dream has always been to tour the world. So I study the world map alot, read about the histories of countries, read geography textbooks, read books about international travelling, read the stories of Nairalanders who have toured the world. I always use my goggle map to "visit" popular airports all over the world, airports like JFK & Heartrow thrill me the most. These things has made me very good in general knowledge, making me want to go for Who Wants to be a Millionaire, a programme which I once watched in a barber's shop, hoping to win up to #1mil to pursue my travelling dreams. My friends think such dream can never come through, but pls I want fellow Nairalanders to tell me their own view. Thanks
