This is because most naija guys are slowly coming to the realisation that naija women are not marriage material but bunch of liabilities.. After weighing up the pros & cons of living with a liability, most guys reach the conclusion that marriage ain't worth the time or stress.

The sad fact is; most naija women are ugly, any honest person blessed with the gift of sight will agree with this. In addiction to this ugliness, naija women are further devalued by the so many vices corrupting their souls, this includes fakery, lying, greed, laziness, envy, bitterness, ignorance, arrogance....

To cap it all up, these women no longer exist in a world of reality, but in a fantasy world where Hollywood TV shows & movies are the paradigm.

The odds are really stacked up against Nigerian women, sadly their numbers are only going to swell in the coming years.

Someone sent me these pics, I couldn't stop laughing.

This uncivil behaviour is an embarrassment of epic proportions, it shows what's happens when ill-trained and ill-mannered individuals are allowed into civilised settings.

There's nothing wrong with eating on a train, people do it, but laying all out like a lunatic as this woman had done here, goes against common decency.

Crime / Re: Australian Teenager Claims She Was Raped By This Nigerian [SEE PHOTOS] by 50calibre(m): 8:38am On Apr 22, 2015
Another contorted story by an idiotic girl who doesn't want to take responsibility for her actions. She was probably dumped and decided to get back at him with this and ultimately claim compensation afterwards.

This story is filled with so many irregularities, it can't possibly be an accurate representation of what transpired between the two of them.

Unfortunately Australia is subliminally racist, all they'd care about is punishing the black boy for daring to have se*xual relations with a white "Aussie" girl.

This is the culmination of an American & jewish orchestrated crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood.

The Arab revolution which ousted Mubarak totally backfired when Egyptians elected Islamic fundamentalists. The Muslim Brotherhood had always been in the shadows since the days of Anwar Sadat, the last thing the Americans wanted was some Islamic radicals controlling arab's biggest country and posing potential threats to the jewish state.

Sorry Mr Morsi, your sentence is clearly disproportionate, they want you and your supported gone for a very long time. Next time don't try to govern state with Islam.

Don't forget to carry along a copy of the Qaran, I'm sure you'd have ample time in your jail call to digest the teachings of Allah & his paedophile prophet

There are varying levels of sanctions, it may cover barring such individuals from international travel (applicable to countries subservient to the US), freezing of assets, restrictions on financial transactions and possible arrest warrants.... basically confining such individual to his/her country.

Guy, just go. You are being too emotional to tell yourself the truth.

And if you were my patient, you will leave my consulting room better informed, and better at judging legal cases too. cheesy

What are you saying exactly? You can make this clear by explicitly stating where you stand. You shouldn't concern yourself with legal cases, that's not your duty.

So I ask you, would some confidentiality clause deter you from informing a patient who may be at risk of his/her spouse's status? Yes or No?

You are subtly becoming provocative and opinionated.

Last I checked HIV is not a reportable disease listed by the American CDC.

I am a physician, and a well trained one at that, not to be immodest.

Wikipedia says a different thing however

That aside, I'm not being provocative, just stating the obvious.

The fact you think some confidentiality clause justifies the wilful infection of a patient shows the welfare of your patients isn't your first priority.

No offence but if you were my doctor, I don't think I'd be seeing you again after what you've said here.

https://www.aids.gov/hiv-aids-basics/just-diagnosed-with-hiv-aids/your-legal-rights/legal-disclosure/

Many states and some cities have partner-notification laws—meaning that, if you test positive for HIV, you (or your healthcare provider) may be legally obligated to tell your sex or needle-sharing partner(s). In some states, if you are HIV-positive and don’t tell your partner(s), you can be charged with a crime. Some health departments require healthcare providers to report the name of your sex and needle-sharing partner(s) if they know that information—even if you refuse to report that information yourself.
Some states also have laws that require clinic staff to notify a “third party” if they know that person has a significant risk for exposure to HIV from a patient the staff member knows is infected with HIV. This is called duty to warn. The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program requires that health departments receiving money from the Ryan White program show “good faith” efforts to notify the marriage partners of a patient with HIV/AIDS.

www.aidsmeds.com/articles/Disclosure_4946.shtml

In general, physicians may breach patient confidentiality in this situation and notify a sexual or needle sharing partner of an individual's HIV infection who is at identifiable risk of infection, as long as they act in good faith and offer only the information necessary to help the notified person protect against future risk of infection or seek medical treatment.
These guidelines do not require that a physician disclose the name of the person who might be putting an individual at risk, although in some instances that identity will be obvious.
These guidelines do not justify disclosures about HIV information to insurers, employers, schools, or other institutions.
Efforts at contact tracing need not breach medical confidentiality with regard to the HIV positive person. They need only advise people that they may have been exposed to HIV infection.

HIV is not a reportable disease.

I do not have to report to the Ministry of health when I see a case of HIV as a doctor.

Diabetes, hypertension, asthma are all incurable, it does not make them reportable diseases.

They're also not communicable, they pose zero risk to public health.

The MOH or any other organ may compile statistics concerning any disease including malaria, doesnt make them reportable diseases.

Reportable diseases list varies from country to country based on the prevalence, incidence and potential of such diseases to reach epidemic proportions.

HIV has already reached epidemic proportions in Africa, billions of dollars in WHO aid is already channeled towards that so fair enough! Maybe there's no point reporting it anymore as it's everywhere.

However, that doesn't negate the fact that there are exceptions to the confidentiality clause & it can be waived under certain circumstances, it doesn't negate the fact that wilful transmission of HIV is a crime, it also doesn't negate the fact that a doctor cannot wilfully allow the wilful infection of a patient, am I wrong?

Laws are bendable depending on circumstances.. Nothing is absolute!! A doctor has a duty of care to his patients, this includes pre-empting/preventing harmful disease, am I wrong?

In America, for eg, Malaria is a reportable as it is very rare there. But in Nigeria, malaria is not a reportable disease as it is grossly endemic here.

Poliomyelitis is almost extinct in Nigeria, and it is a reportable disease.

HIV is not a reportable disease. HIV is not even reportable to the American CDC

HIV infection is reportable in the US.

I seriously hope you aren't in the medical field because your thinking pattern is very dangerous.

Of course every body is wrong and you're right. It's normal and no worries.

But this is not the way it works in the adult world HPI is protected and I salute Doctors that maintain their oath.

Thank you all healthcare workers who abide by the code. Confidentiality is never waived unless it has a direct impact on the community. HIV is not s community communicable disease.

PS: You don't need to know where I work. My example stands and is on point. No apologies that it makes you uncomfortable. The person, like I said was fired by the company of violating federal and state HPI laws. He was not only fired but was sued civil and criminally. Developed countries don't play around with HPI. Nigeria will get there too and it seems some educated and righteous healthcare workers are doing their jobs very well. I thank them all.

If that's the way your "adult world" works, then I'd much rather remain where I am because to me that sounds more like a stup*dity world.

Of course you don't need to tell me where you work, I can already infer a lot from what you said. You probably work in some back alley Akara joint so it's understandable.

Who do we disclose to? To a person or to the Authorities?

Which diseases do we disclose according to you? The man with Tuberculosis should be disclosed cos he is a risk to fellow bus passengers for eg?

The law is clear about reportable diseases. HIV is not a reportable disease.

Doctor's are privy to lots of confidential information, unknown to even the closest people to their patients. Diseases, miscariages, abortions, drug use, genetic issues, parternity issues, all of them placing their partners at varying degrees of disadvantage But should they now go about and start telling anybody everythin?

The confidientiality clause is there to protect the patient, whom the doctor is legally contracted to. And mind you, we are all patients at one point or another.


HIV is a reportable disease, not just is it in the public interest, it is also essential for statistical reasons as well as provision of ARV drugs.

Besides the degree of harm posed by these diseases you mentioned, pales in comparison to that posed by HIV. For one, HIV is incurable and requires life-long medication.

MadCow is right though.

Medical record is completely confidential and especially between couples.

Doctors are expressly prohibited for divulging PHI to others especially couples.

The issue is not the Docs here but a couple who have no communication.

A coworker, highly skilled and high value employee to my company was fired a year ago for looking up his wife's medical data at work.

This is very serious and I'm glad that phi is confidential.

MadCow is wrong, and so are you.

Don't you guys understand what I'm saying? There are certain exemptions to Doctor-patient confidentiality, it is not absolute. Even in certain cases insurance companies have the right to a patients medical records.

Confidentiality is waived when there's an immediate risk to someone. HIV is a sexually transmitted disease, and wilfully infecting others with an incurable disease as HIV is a criminal offence which carries major jail time.

if a doctor discovers that a spouse is oblivious to the positive status of his/her partner, ethics demand that the doctor as a pre-emptive measure, informes the other partner for his/her own protection (I.e if they aren't already infected, and at best, the doctor may have to inform the positive spouse that the other one has been informed, consent doesn't have to be sought in this case) failure to do this could amount to professional negligence as well as loads of other liabilities.

Why is this so hard for you guys to understand? Are you trying to say a doctor would knowingly allow the infection of a patient because of some stup*id confidentiality? This is common sense

I don't know where you work, but the guy who got fired for accessing his wife's medical records may have had his rights infringed & except he was in clear breach of company policy, he is entitled to a fair hearing before his fate is decided, maybe there were compelling reasons for his actions, you can't just fire people willy nilly. However, there's something called Data Protection, and unauthorised access of someone's personal records, is a crime. That being said you need to find out what the guy was fired for before comparing it to a case like this which is clearly very very different.

Young man, this is not about how you feel things should be done but about what the law says.

Doctor patient confidentiality isn't voided by marriage. That is why a doctor would ask the patients consent for the spouse to be there during consultation. HIV does not fall into the same disease category under the law as HIV. Ebola, Lassa Fever, Dengue Fever, H5N1 virus, etc is are a higher class of illness because of the way it spreads and the potential for it to become an epidemic if not checked. And the doctor is required by law to inform the authorities not another person per se.

A doctor does not have the right to disclose a patients medical case to the spouse without proper consent. The spouse can agree to a joint medical checkup with the other partner and disclose their finding to each other with consent. This doctor is in big trouble should the patient sue.

Better go ask a doctor about this and learn some manners whilst at it.

Even when the spouse is at risk? What law is this, MadCow1 law?

Show me where it categorically states that doctors aren't obliged to do so.

Are you aware, wilfully infecting others with HIV is a criminal offence? Your ignorance is dangerous.

The Doctor would lose his license if the woman sues him..

A patients case file and condition is subject to Doctor patient confidentiality clause.

It's not the doctors place to inform her husband.

Shut up!! Stop talking nonsense. Doctor-patient confidentiality is not absolute, there are exceptions, one of which is; if the patient in question is a potential risk to others. E.g Ebola cases.

Besides it is assumed that married couples are privy to each other's medical situations, and in cases like this where a spouse isn't, the doctor is obliged to inform, Failure to do so could constitute a medical malpractice and may even lead to criminal prosecution.

The fact remains that white folks are the majority in Britain, most of which are atheists/agnostics. Cameron's already alienated ethnic minorities as well the church through some senseless policies, by now jumping for one religious house to the other, he risks alienating his core supporters too, many of whom are going to see this as a man of weak convictions pandering to ethnic minorities for their votes.

thirdly, barack obama who is an african should come to the aid and leave world war 3 alone, he should focus on ending the killings in south africa.
