They fly them abroad for treatment. Haven't you heard the saying that physician heal thyself. Where he can't heal himself then he must be flown abroad because what he knows here in Nigeria another one knows it. |

Lol @ Tunji. Of course docs are reluctant to seek medical help. The belief that it's all under control. Docs dedicate their lives to serve others so that most will still go to work in clutches & pain. At the end of the day, it depends on individual doctors. Younger medics in my observation tend to be more willing to see seniors for medical advise than the older generation. Many of those oldies have never seen another doctor since they became doctors themselves. Medical couples tend to see each other. 3 Likes 1 Share |

They sometimes diagnose themselves and self medicate.......but not before asking colleagues and spouses(who are usually in the health sector) for opinions. 3 Likes |

If it's a simple self - diagnosis job, he/she treats themselves. But, if it's a major or minor intervention, they go and prostrate in front of another DR. Who does a mechanic visit when his vehicle is sick? |

maclatunji:There is a saying that goes, "the doctor who treats himself has a fool for a patient". Doctors are advised to seek treatment or help from other practitioners. Because, sometimes a doctor might not be able to be objective when he is the subject. Imagine a doctor who despite seeing all the symptoms of HIV, but would treat the symptoms as if it were a common flu, simply because he/she wouldn't want to confess to himself that he probably has HIV. In fact, doctors are advised to not treat cases where they themselves or people they know are involved, also because of the problem of objectivity. Doctors are human, a doctor may feel so much emotional trauma because his son is dying, that he might not be able to detach his emotional self from his professional self, thereby getting himself in the way of proper treatment for the sick child. Imagine another scenario where said doctor is unconscious, in this case, he clearly can't treat himself. His care would have to be delegated to a professional who is competent. How about during a surgery, I don't imagine I know a doctor who can perform a major surgery on himself. Maybe there are? There are many reasons why doctors shouldn't treat themselves or even loved ones! But then again, there are also many reasons why they should. Now let me ask you, Should a judge judge his/her own case? 4 Likes |

Re: Who Do Doctors Go To When They Fall Sick? by doctorfemi20(m): 5:38am On Dec 04, 2016 |
I am a doctor, I don't fall sick often, I think because I try to take precautions. If I see symptoms, I start myself on drugs immediately, and that settles it. I have not had any cause to consult anybody concerning my health.... this is wrong, because we are humans, and we should have our own doctors. We should go for regular checkups and get treatment as at when due. I must let u know that doctors don't bill one another the way other patients are billed, most of the time, it is free because we see ourselves as brothers in the profession. 5 Likes |

KealDrogo: From your comment, its clear you never saw the four walls of a higher institution. If you did, am very sure you won't be talking like this. I know the Nigerian doctors are not the best, but they aren't as bad as you're trying to paint them. You sound like someone who took to another course after 6 years of trying to get admitted to study medicine and surgery. Don't worry, we understand your pains bro. #ProudlyANigerianDoctor 4 Likes |
