Lassa Fever Kills Abia Doctor by 247frolic(m): 3:52pm On Apr 01, 2018
Ndukwu Chizaram, a doctor at the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) Umuahia, Abia state, has reportedly died of Lassa fever.

Innocent Orji, president of the association of resident doctors (ARD) in the state, said Chizaram took ill and was diagnosed with the disease after attending to an 11-month old baby who later died.

The baby was, however, not confirmed to have been infected with Lassa fever before his death.

Chizaram was said to have been taken to a private ward in the hospital after she took ill, and later transferred to Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital, Edo, where she passed away.

The deceased reportedly joined the paediatrics department “barely a month” to her demise.

Does it mean that there's no cure for this disease. R.I.P to the dead.

This is one of the reasons young Drs like me are struggling to leave this shithole of a country to places where the system works. From the look of things, by 2024, the only Drs remaining in Nigeria will be Small Doctor and Dr. Did cheesy

RIP, Doctor. sad

You and others like you take it for the team, and often don't get the credit you deserve.

You and others like you do your jobs without fanfare and often die unsung. And yet you are down to earth and true to your calling. Unlike some people in uniform we know. undecided

I am yet to hear of doctors/nurses/lab technicians flogging people in the streets with stethoscopes because these non-doctors had the audacity to wear white coats or scrubs without going through the rigours of medical school.

I am yet to hear of doctors/nurses/lab technicians going on social media to demand 'respect' because they are keeping us safe from deadly communicable diseases while we non-doctors are safely asleep in bed.

I have not yet seen any doctor/nurse/lab technician jump into a bus and refuse to pay his/her fare because he/she is medical 'staff'. undecided

I have not seen doctors/nurses/lab technicians drive against traffic, syringes drawn, claiming special privileges to endanger other road users.

I have not seen doctors/nurses/lab technicians jump queues (because they are members of the NMA or other medical bodies) and then beat up any one who questions their actions.

I could go on and on.

The sacrifices of all medical personnel - not just doctors but nurses, lab technicians, pharmacists, paramedics, etc. are appreciated. You are NOT perfect but you often try to do the best you can - and without the massive sense of entitlement that some other uniformed 'professionals' undecided have.

You will not walk alone. Rest in peace, Dr. Ndukwu.
