Gaabasky:
Many surgeries are done under terrible condition. No good light sources, no qualified personnel to assist, no qualified anaesthetic nurses or Doctor to relax the patients, no good instruments, fatigue n over worked surgeons, terrible patients with complications. So many factors. By and large the surgeons should be calm n relaxed when performing any procedures. That individual life is 100% to his or her.

You should hold yourself for your racist mindset. How is it anyone's fault you are unable to realise that humanity is colour blind. How is it even anyone's fault that you hate other races?. You need help

Kingbuhari:
you are madder

Angelfrost:


Indeed most of you don't even know the reality staring at you in the face.

Relax, when the reality of your nation hits, you will understand.

Let me give you a simple assignment first:

Leave your comfort zone, and visit public hospitals both within your state capital and local governments.

I don't support negligence, but there is no smoke without fire.

If NMA goes on strike indefinitely for these issues, people like you will still abuse them and call them insensitive.

Maybe, the entire Healthcare sector should be privatized... Let the owners of all the hospitals manage them and do proper oversight functions on them thoroughly. Maybe such things will stop.

Only problem will be that the same you people abusing doctors won't be able to see them at all then due to the incredibly high cost.

Baba calm down..... Which one is audacity to stich it up?? it's not intentional naaa... Doctors are humans too.... surgery can get messy and very long which makes them prone to mistakes... No vex

Angelfrost:


Bro, everyone is already bearing the brunt.

Look at your Police, Soldiers, Traffic wardens, Prison wardens, name them...! They are underpaid, stressed out, unhappy, and taking it out on those who cross their paths.

I have called out medical negligence on this platform severally... Last time a lady died because doctors refused to treat her without police report, I called for their sack and indictment.

But, we are missing the point!

The System is the issue here... It is rotten, poorly funded, poorly supervised and corrupt.

You have a Minister of Health, what does he do?!! Absolutely nothing!

You have health committees in the Senate, what do they do?!! Nothing!

You have annual budgets, what is the share of Health sector?!! From state to federal, peanuts!


I have gotten tired of blaming those at the level of professional conduct because they are supposed to be supervised, checked on, rewarded, staffed, etc... But, none of these happens.


Meanwhile.... Leeds is third on the Championship log, and they are doing great. At this rate, we will be back in the EPL alongside Leicester next season.

Tallesty1:
Chai... That is why doctors meticulously count and document their equipment before surgery and thoroughly crosscheck after the surgery to ensure nothing is missing.

So many factors could have contributed to this, such as potential carelessness on the doctor's part, the inherent complexity of the surgery, extreme fatigue resulting from overworking (more likely to be cause of this one) etc

This is a distressing and unacceptable way to lose a life wallahi.

Numerouno94:


I get ur point. It was succinctly spelled out.👍 The infected tree should rather b uprooted Instead of faulting the bad fruits it produces. Not entirely the fault of the fruit but the tree itself. Ur wisdom choke. Na why I dey always call u Prof.

Bro if Leeds do anyhow them go remain for championship ooo because Leicester and Ipswich don dey run wit points. The gap jus dey expand every match day.

dominic17:
If they are like every other human beings what makes them different why are they called doctors? where is the place of professional due diligence? This is not excusable because human life is involved here.

Namaster:


Shut up!

It's the height of negligence. You are operating on a human being, not a china phone. It makes ZERO sense to forget things INSIDE a person.

The OP is merely calling for PUNISHMENT that's equal to the crime.

If a Doctor leaves something inside a patient, his/her license should be retracted. Hospital should be penalised and the Doctor should be sued and convicted for the heinous crime.

They should NEVER be allowed to touch a scalpel ever again.

Go to a hospital and see how nonchalant the doctors and nurses are. It's SUPER disgusting.

The only sensible people in a Nigerian hospital are the laboratory workers. The rest are mad. ALL of them.

Those who Japa dare NOT misbehave when they do so. Else, jail time.

advanceDNA:


You be comedian

nairalanda1:


Nope, Canadians.

It is not that easy to get a licence to practice in Canada, and for surgical specialties, they tend to look at Canadians only.

Hassanmaye:

Why is it only happening in Nigeria??

YoungBlackRico:
Abi, Canada and UK, no be where dem dey run to be that

zedegit:
I want to use this medium to raise awareness of how Nigerian Doctors always forget one instrument or the other inside a patient stomach and have the audacity to stitch up after surgery.

While this trend continues is because nothing serious is done to forestall this wickedness.
This act of negligence should come with serious punishment like life imprisonment and closure of that hospital to make others to get sense.

I have lost countless relatives and friends due to this wickedness of Nigerian Doctors. That's why people hardly go to hospital except for serious issues because danger increases anytime anyone visits a hospital.

advanceDNA:


Even where them dey japa to....doctors dey fvck up.... U no dey watch botched on dstv.??

U go bad surgery cases whey another better surgeon dey correct like say the first doctor nor do anatomy for school...

YoungBlackRico:
fr fr, no be lie. Our doctors really need to up their games though. These cases are becoming rampant

Hassanmaye:

Why is it only happening in Nigeria??

advanceDNA:


What are u saying.....?? What do u mean by only in Nigeria..??. It happens even in advance countries ...please use the internet if u want to know...

This is what I just told someone a while ago here. ....he now started shifting goal post justifying and worshipping oyinbo yansh by comparing the 550 cases in Canada within two years to the total number of surgeries ....

like you ... he doesn't even have statistics of the number of this occurrence in Nigeria....

Yankee101:
Project management needs to be introduced into medicine

Medical skills alone are not enough if methodical steps are not adopted into their processes

It’s egregious to forget items in a human during surgery . People using a grinding machine know not to do this much less a qualified doctor

Hassanmaye:

Nigeria doctors are quaks

nairalanda1:


You are right.

When your loved one has a condtion that needs operating, you can save them from the quacks that are Nigerian doctors by doing the operation yourself. Or asking them to do the operation themselves, as did the famous Leonid Ivanovich.

nairalanda1:


Happens in other parts of the world.

It is because of how bad things are in Nigeria that we tend to think that the grass is greener elsewhere, that everything goes well elsewhere. But medical negligence is an issue the world over. Including surgical problems

Here is two bad case from Japan

Another from the UK

Does not excuse bad Nigerian doctors though

Hassanmaye:

Oga nairaland e no reach like that abeg, I don't forgive myself

Kenmatt:
OP be truthful to your self.

Not just because you want your Post to grace the "Promise Land" you're dishing what many a man think, assume which may be far from the truth.

How could you say you have lost countless of relatives and friends as a result of Doctors forgetting instruments inside their Patients stomach.

We have actually heard a lot about this, but how many times has it happened.

Please, if you're very sure it has happened to your close one, kindly highlight it here.

Let's not just be hitting on myths and jettison fact

Racist?? U are the that's racist and needs help..
All I told u is that this things happens even in saner climes..instead of u to dialogue in a civil manner u resulted to insults and started to justify the 550 mistakes that happened in canada

.. Did u do the same for Nigeria?? U said it was unacceptable ... I exposed ur nonsense and asslîcking behavior... then u decided to shift goal post calling me racist...u clearly don't know the meaning of that word.... Again orí e tí dáru
