u are obviously a nurse or dr

It doesnt matter

Our advice is don't get fat, else we go chook you tire.

Uyi168:
Especially from those ill mannered nurses..

Have you done nurse work before?
Spend 18hours a day inside one stuffy hospital packing shit and blood upandan. No even time to rest, everybody shouting your name front and back. People opening smell-smell nyash for you to chook injection.

It's always easy to criticize when you have not done their work first.

Crimecity:
Chai... I won't forget nurse Rose.. Tear me better slap for my hand

u made me night sweet

I have worked in Nigeria and abroad, I have never used this...
People that do nothing complain the most
A whole unit failed to cannulate a patient in the uk and the procedure was canceled, no machine like this turned up
Setting up iv cannula is an art

People that have seen what obtains outside the country don't make as much noise as the 'local' know-it-alls that can afford to slap a nurse because she was looking for a vein! Try that when you travel abroad

When they are 'opportuned' to see oyinbo, they are at their humblest

Fucking inferiority complex

subtlemee:
Here they'll tie you hand with rope,slap it,turn you upside down,shake you then after 50 needle pricks they'll now succeed to see one that will tissue in the evening....

it's not called rope MA, it's tourniquet.check online and thank me later

I've only seen this used abroad in paediatric patients. Even at that it isn't always successful.
The only sure way to get a good vein especially in emergency situations is to use a portable ultrasound machine where you scan and see your deep vein if you can't find any.
People and their drama.

Meanwhile, why are people blaming the Drs and nurses for not having this device? Should they buy it with their own money and be using it in the hospitals?
Even Oyibo Drs struggle to cannulate black people because your veins are not as easily visible compared to their own skin. While your Nigerian drs do it easily with their eyes closed
A person who is difficult to cannulate is simply difficult to cannulate. Of course experience and expertise also matters. ITU/ burns specialists may be better at cannulation than most other Drs.

Hahahaha... Serious inferiority complex o, our people are lost.
Our people defer so much to white skin and talk down their own
They don't realise that those guys are more of hype, they talk themselves up too much
We need to start being more appreciative of our own

That is really a question of investing in technology. Though that comes with its own problems. Ogbodo Oyinbe , you just buy. In Nigeria you have to ensure that there is local support , stock of spares , ups, inverter, stabilizer, surge arrester, or your expensive investment to boost your operations will quickly become a paperweight.

That scenario applies in most facets of our life. Mechanic doing trial and error instead of using obd scanner.

davillian:
Nigerian doctors can work with little or no equipment
I respect them.
Once they combine Nigerian experience with foreign technology they become the best .

Fact! And not just doctors, it why Nigerians excel in whatever they set their minds on out there.

Nigerians are really ungrateful ..i once saw a severely dehydrated child brought to clinic in the middle of the night. There was no light so the doctor had to use his phone as torchlight. The doctor spent more than 30mins to to set the iv line. He could have just left the child to die from shock since spending so much time getting venous access is the same thing as traumatizing the child .Nigerians usually channel their aggression in the wrong direction. what stops the government from making sure that a public hospital has 24hr power supply? what stops the government from providing that equipment that makes it easy to locate vein? All we do is to call doctors different names while hailing the culprits. I tire for unna

hahaha, we still tie like that over here, but you are just permitted two trial and maybe one other person tries too and boom we bring in vein finder.

This gadget is incredibly expensive. Not for patients that visit hospitals with only #3000

iTearHerToto:
If they don't find veins on your arms they go for your forehead

You can lie for African

nkwuocha:


No sir!Im not grateful to a silly nurse that kept slapping the wrist of a heavily pregnant woman.Wife retaliated, case closed!

Heavily pregnant very obese Woman. That is the right adjective.
In which world is being physical to another human being right. Not to talk of the one trying to help you. Am ashamed at your reasoning

toyosiolamide:
There are still so many hospitals in the western world that use the nigerian method of cannulation.Not all Hospitals,infact majority of the hospitals do not use this technology.Let's stop making ourselves look bad.And please,I practice in the western world.

Exactly, we use vein finders only when we've failed 2 times.. . And vein finder doesn't guarantee a one time cannulation. No need to paint Nigeria backward on this.

Smile......na naija we dey

Is not called rope but a torniquet. That technology is just new and will soon reach us probably after a newer model have been produced abroad. The honourable minister said that some of us can be farmers and tailored joined together with doctor work�����

Before the head wether the fore or the hind, the legs first.

This machine is being used in Niger foundation hospital Enugu...though for them to bring it out.. ur case for don dey critical ... Used it on my nephew tho

Your country refused to improve the system.
Everyone likes technology even the Drs.
I see Drs sweating passing canula, do they like sweating the answer is emphatic NO

In fact I'm still feeling the pain, yet nurse muyiwa has not discover my vein after several pinches

I have suffered on occasions by this ineptitude. Once they pierced me like 9 times, finally I say I no do again. Make I crawl back home(was very sick). One nurse just hold my hand, closed her eyes and prayed for a second, then found the vein.

We are not behind in the sector of cars and houses.

nkwuocha:
Hmmm....
Some will beat your hand like say them be panel beater.One nurse tried ot with my wife and got a resounding slap back on her own hands in retaliation.

Your wife never dey sick..

She go help am hit am well if the sickness done hold am..

BLOOD WORK . Typing from osogbo

In terms of everything we have a very long way to go.

Certainly not religion. We've simply mastered that one and even surpassed those who introduced it.
