An appendectomy abroad?


It is over for Nigeria.


:::SMH:::

was it an elective procedure, because flying abroad for an emergency of that nature seems illogical.

This is really unfortunate and annoying.

Any trained monkey can remove an appendix. Flown abroad for a 10 mins surgery that can be done laparoscopically?


Infact, this is beyond ridiculous.

This minister most belong to CPC to be sooooooo, stvpid.

True, the doctor at my village removed several back in the days at abule.

it is beyond ridiculous

They should at least tell the tax pay payers where the surgery was done and for how much including expenses for hotel and accommodation, feeding, ticket etc for Madeziani and her staff.

It is so funny that these ministers in developing country preach the capabilities of the people and national pride etc. yet as they have the slightest medical condition, they fly to the US or Europe. its crazy

same coments came my mind when i first read the story.
to be frank i can do that surgery for her with my eyes shut
tho not a doki myself.

This is an indictment on the current administration IMO-- that a minister chooses to fly abroad for a minor surgery such as this is a reveal of the level of trust those leading us have in the system they manage.

^Not making excuses for the silly woman, but that may be why she flew abroad. Laparoscopic appendectomy not being done in Nigeria yet (I think).

I wasn't going to say anything here, but since N/L partisans have decided to make it a political issue, I have no choice to remind all those linining up to score a cheap political point against GEJ that our medical sysytem has been broke ever since Buhari banned NMA and the Nigerian Resident doctors association in his days.

GEJ has been president for about 1 year, and you expect him to fix all the rot in the healthcare system caused by Buhari's maladministration and subsequent exodus of our previously renowned world-class doctors for greener pastures

Bye the way, and from a surgical point of view, appendectomy in a middle aged women is not a minor procedure, because many times it's always complicated by ovarian, uterine, and even colon cancer.

Once again . . . .

Seem the little kobo u got from your principal has really made a junkie outta u , so every action taken is decided by the current administration, right?, don't u know when to take up a logical and convincing argument?, noisy opposition, lol .

maybe she will come back like the former first lady. these bastards have destroyed the country and will run to abroad for headache leaving us here to die at will. it is a shame that pdp has brought down this country to her kneels. yet some imbeciles will preach us into voting pdp.
God will kill all of them that behind these wicked acts.
i am very happy that no matter where u run go, when death come, it must meet u where ever u are.

Then appendicitis becomes a mere complication not the problem. We havent heard any of her media handlers say she has a malignancy remotely associated to the list you so eloquently made out

Diezani Allison-Madueke underwent an appendectomy at a foreign hospital
Article | April 9, 2011 - 3:47pm | By The Will

The Minister for Petroleum, Diezani Allison-Madueke, has undergone an emergency surgical procedure at an undisclosed hospital abroad.

Though her aides have refused to confirm this, a source close to the minister said she left Nigeria on Tuesday, April 05, 2011, to enable her doctors perform an appendectomy.

The source, who did not want his name published, said the minister is recuperating and remains in stable condition, but declined to give the location and name of the hospital, because of “security reasons”.

“She went in for an appendectomy surgical procedure,” he said. “It is nothing serious. She will be fine.”

The minister was expected to arrive the country before today’s parliamentary elections.

does anyone expect this woman to push the PIB bill, if she cannot trust nigerians fro something as simple as a 'nothing serious' appendectomy?

Thank you for your observed stu.pidity of this dishonorable minister.

Laparoscopic surgery has very little in its favour when dealing with appendicitis. To start with you are guarranteed 2 puncture wounds instead of one that can be no more than 1inch. Anesthetic risks are the same. In the hands of a skilled operator (they abound in Nigeria) you can discount practically all risks. Laparoscopic surgeries other than having fewer competent personnel carries its own baggage not worth going into here. While its use in gall bladder surgeries is eminently justifiable, it cant be said for a simple appendectomy (assuming she has ever heard of laparoscopy)

The true motive for this is estacode. If it is not I challenge her to refund whatever expenses charged to the govt

Pennywise:

Just stick to politics, don't expose your ignorance to the world.
Her media handlers wouldn't know about malignacy until pathology comes back, usually 2-3 weeks after surgery. The signs and symptoms usually fool inexperienced surgeons, because the presentations are mostly similar.
Don't forget that my comment was in reference to the fact that she went for "minor operation" Well, there's nothing like a minor operation.

We can argue surgery in the medical section if you like, but right now, can we focus on the bad Nigerian healthcare system: causes, presentations, and remedy

At the very least, an Ex-lap would have been enough.

This is stupiddd through and through

yawn

we will see defense of anything from team gej

there are plenty of expensive private hospitals that could have sorted out her appendectomy

what nonsense

the next thing we will hear is that ibru was flown out of the country to treat her high bp

That is a well known cliche. That said, Appendicitis is a clinical diagnosis, nothing more, nothing less. Stop making stupidd excuses for this wanton waste of public money.

Odeh. U are as dumb as they come. You have turned a mere appendectomy to colon biopsy. Obviously you are as clueless and as dumb as your principal and u expect to win this election?

And which of these hospitals did Yar'dua go to while you guys were hailing his reign from "hospital bed" for more than 3 months
Your syncophancy and inconsistency smell to high heavens.

A real shame, there are capable hospitals in Nigeria to perform this procedure. I just tire for our country. I want to see how oga will respond to this, and also comments from Minister for health

should we expect anything but deceit from gej goons



who was hailing 'yardua's reign from hospital bed?'

more to the point is your grey matter so depleted that you equate kidney failure with appendicitis?
