There is this prejudice people have against nurses.
People should read the story line by line, comprehend it before commenting.
I know there are some bad eggs in every profession.
I have gone through your story and the only thing you mentioned was when the nurses asked for your child's folder. And this is for proper documentation.
I read where you said that the child had only one hour to live. How did you know the number of hours that your child had to live?
Where were you when the bleeding started? Why didn't you take the child to the hospital when the case was not serious?
Am sure you were running from taking your responsibility as a man waiting for the worst time so that you can vent your frustration on the profession.
As long as I am concern you are just saying this to get sympathy.
Wake up pls

Acute bleeding can take life within few minutes. So, all those questions you asked up there are unnecessary. Emergency situations needs swift response. The bleeding might have been caused by anything(probably trauma) it is the responsibility of the nurses on duty to respond swiftly to the condition and not insisting on getting card for documentation which is for record purpose. The documentation can be done when the patient is recovering and stable. Documentation is not first line of management in emergency situations.

Sorry abt ur kid, hope better?

I read some of the comments and we forget that there are more than one side to a coin. Maybe she came in and met about 2 - 3 nurses on duty with a quadrillion patients to care for and everyone will need his or her attention at same time.

It is high time our people realize that nurses are human and not many can ignore u for insulting them.

Nurses are greatly short staffed n Nigerian's being Nigerians will need ur attention at same time and will still insult u on top forgetting they dealing with humans, over worked, under paid, there are no working tools and u are trying ur best to make do with what u have.

NB: am not saying there are no bad eggs cos there will always be a Judas amongst 12, just don't lump all together.

Your insulting comments on this thread clearly shows you are living up to your 'personal text' on your profile.
Even if you dont agree with the comments you quoted, can't you do so without being rude?
I understand you are making a case for the nursing profession, but you can't deny that some of its practitioners are very unmannerly,except you are being dishonest.

If you go about attacking people and calling them "mumu" how does that help the image of the profession you trying so hard to protect? Doesn't your attitude here confirm what most of the commenters have written so far about some nurses?(assuming you are a nurse).

Don't insult or attempt to insult me again. You lost some of your children, OK.The death of babies are most times are as a result of parents actions and inactions. Clinicians have their fault too. Have you wondered the part you played in the death of your children? Open your mind wide and sincerely look at situations of life.


Sorry if I insulted you.
But our medical workers are 95% culpable for many avoidable deaths in our hospitals.
I just spoke as a father who lost a kid due to nurses' negligence. You won't feel our pains if you have not walked in our shoes.

It is no heard of for a white medical worker to tell you no bed, stop to shout- na you first get belle, or say no be my shift or I don close... While someone is dying!

80% of our medical personnel are evil !

Sentiments aside. It is only natural for anyone to take sides with his ‘own’, so I wouldn't blame y'all trying to protect the nurses. I am a medical personnel, likewise my father. When I was younger, I got upset each time I see my father scold his nurses, I felt he was being harsh. But no, they messed up a lot. You don't ever in your entire existence wish to be their victim, you will wish you'll just disappear or you were dead.
There are good nurses,but they are scarce, especially in government hospitals. Reason is, they feel they owe no patient nor the hospital any explanation, they are only answerable to the government who employed them. If you are looking for a hospital where the nurses will be nice to you, then you should visit the private hospitals and not government hospitals. You should also learn to keep an eye on your little one, visit the hospital as soon as you see any abnormal sign, don't wait for it to become an emergency.
Nurses love to take their time when attending to patients, they hate being hurried and pushed around. Thank God your baby is fine now. In our profession, (medicine) we consider lives first before anything, am glad that doctor did the right thing, I wonder what kind of orientation these nurses have? For heavens sake documentation could be done with anything for the mean time, what happens to their heads or a piece of paper? SMH

My child was bleeding from her naval and this kind of bleeding no be child's play oooooooo, my child had just lest than 1hrs to survive and we were really desperate to do anything to help her live, we rushed our baby to this government specialist hospital precisely Braitwaite memorial specialist hospital ( BMSH) because you see, I am revealing the name to the whole world and also to the authorities in the River State government to point out to them that what they have in their specialist hospital isn't human beings but witches who are so happy to see people die if not what on earth could make a trained nurse be so ruthless, heartless and without any kind of affection for bleeding and about to die child who came to be nurse and treated under the able hands of these physicians.


My people, I saw hell, this species of human had no time to attend to us and my child was slowly passing on my God Almighty, thank God Almighty for a very special doctor, the senior pediatrician who was touched by CHRIST JESUS my LORD to attend to us.. this beautiful doctor took it upon himself to attend to my baby oh for God's sake, he was very exceptional, those same nurses, came to this doctor to complain that this baby doesn't have a folder with them why is he treating her, oh my God Almighty, what could have degenerated this kind of human being to this low finish, you need to see the look on my face when those heartless nurses said such, the doctor simply reply them that they could see that this baby is passing on slowly that if this blood isn't stop from flowing through her naval that any help given after now will be zero.



He needs to do something immediately, wow, heavy defeat for witches, by God's grace he finally stopped the wicked bleeding and referred us to Kelsy Harrison Specialist hospital where we did blood transfusion and other serious medical assignment.




Thank God Almighty, my baby is stabilized, but the question remains why this nurses are so wicked minded and without Natural affection, is it that they have seen much death that they don't care anymore if another dies.?

Life goes on
That's how most of them are..they just stood aside gossiping, until a young man placed under Their care died just like that....

Obviously u re not a medical personnel if u re u must be a fraud. Infant bleeding through the navel is usually as a result of faulty cord clamp. Considering there are now lots of fakes in the market.

An infant can bleed out. It's very life threatening. Didn't u read where she write that baby required transfusion later.

I don't know how she addressed the nurses but I won't blame her either. She must have been distraught.

OK. I won't attempt to change your perception. Nurses might have done something wrong in the death of your child(ten),but that doesn't make the ones( nurses) in this post guilty of this woman's claim. Frustration can change a man. Ask and know the situations clinicians in Nigeria work, and you will appreciate them more.

In every profession, we av d good n bad eggs... Dis is not a big deal.
Firstly, Not every1 DAT wears white n works in a Hosp is a nurse. Not every female in d Hosp is a nurse.. Dia are auxiliaries/quacks, dia are record officers who might av been trained to stand in as nurses. Pls, let's all learn to spot d difference
I work with a teaching Hosp owned by a state govt. I'm an ACCIDENT AND EMERGENCY NURSE n I must say d way d system is designed is sumtin else. In my own accident n emergency dept, NOTHING is available not even gloves or emergency drugs/ injections. Each pt provides wateva is being used for him/her. Wen a pt is rushed into my dept, d first tin is to tell d relatives to obtain a casenote while I start checking d patient's vital sign to know whats up with d patient. After obtaining d casenote, ur doc reviews u, writes out materials, drugs/ injections, u procure dem at d pharmacy, den we start treatment. DAT is d setting we find ourselves. Nothing available except u provide ur stuffs
Buh a nurse is in d centre of all dese,..... Despite being overworked, underpaid, abused by patients n dia relatives, I'm not FRUSTRATED.
I get blamed by d ignorant pts for hospital policies, I get blamed for d lab's incompetence, doctor's unavailability
I even get blamed wen d fault is from d patients/relatives failure to bring ur pt to d hosp on tym.... Buh in all dese, I'm a NURSE.. Im HUMAN. I'll still care for d sick/dying ones despite d talks/abuses/attitudes.
Not everytym is it d nurses' fault, sumtyms d Hosp policy, d govt lots of factors here
If u say ALL nig nurses are bad, prob UVE NT JST BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO MEET D GOOD ONES. BETTER STILL, STOP PATRONIZING QUACKS.

Which of my assertions is false? The truth is that emergency cases expecially patients with serious hemorrhage from trauma are treated and stabilized before thorough clerking and documentation even here in Nigeria. Blame and condemn the nonchalant attitudes of those useless nurses who derive joy in seeing people die and gossip at their cubicles

God bless you for being sincere. You must be a good nurse that every patient will want to have. Some nurses up there have refused to accept the fact that those nurses the woman met were wrong. Imagine telling a doctor who wanted to help the innocent child that he should not because she has not obtained card for documentation....(here, it is not drugs or materials they needed that they asked the woman to go and bring oo). You also said you start to checking the patient immediately while the relatives go for drugs and materials and card.
This is how it's supposed to be.
Once again, thanks for being sincere and I also believe you must be a good nurse.

Its not about money.

Its about attitude to job. Staff of major e & p r paid millions a month but believe me, the attitude to work is very poor except they ve a boss who is strict that u see that input.

Once the management isn't strict, the staff will always b relaxed.
