Patients Rejected At LASUTH Due To Overcrowding

A time will come when NEMESIS will catch up with all those wicked people in high places that have refused to do the right thing even when they know it. I can't imagine the president of United States going out of America to go for medical checkup in another country, its unimagineable. If all of them at the drop of a hat enter a plane and jet out of the country for medical check-up, then they know that something is wrong with our medical service, so why cant they just do something about it? I believe that the fact that they have the means to go out of the country even for a birthday party and at every opportunity has developed in them a resistance to the plight of the average Nigerian. O Lord, fight for us.

I've said it, as a medical doctor, the well-being of my patient comes first, if I get sacked, I move on and look elsewhere for an opportunity. A medical doctor can never find himself idle, even if he has to do it voluntary. Having said that, there are those who come into this profession because of the hype and money, there are those who do it simply because of the value they place on saving lives.

The management is clearly at fault, and the State Government shouldn't take this case lightly, if it were in my practise, even the press alone is enough to make people resign from their positions.

The fundamenatal in medical pratice is to save lifes not to waste it. Our doctors should consider our 'dyin and soon wil be forgotten
YARA DYE' and forget about union. But if one of these doctors have his son as a patient in that hospital, WILL HE TREAT HIM ?



Saint iyke

bros, you never lie.
we are already monkeys and are in the process of being rebranded cattle. change will only come when we,the youth demand for it at the point of sword. we need that ten-million-man march, if possible a nation-wide downing of tools at all levels/sectors of the economy, more agressive measures if neccesary.
   is there any online venue where we can rally forces? i would rather die fighting than continue this subversive, sub-human kind of life

Why should i sue if i am treated under a mango tree when the ultimate goal which i am looking at is for me to get well and be saved? I am not that kind of person. When my hand got broken because i could not afford the expensive medical bill. i have to do it the traditional way and i was treated on the floor. Today my hand is good and working for me. So what is the significance of a bed not that i dont see the importance. Not having a bed should not be an hindrance to save life. We are africans for heavens sake and we have all these misconceptions because of western values ad ideas. Have you asked your self how they practice medical treatment in asia side by side with western ideas. The west were first against acupuncture and many other asian ways of treatment but what do we have today?

You think the Nigerian situation is not worst than a war time or why are they going on strike all the time? The western ideas you are shouting about will not even have it as an option with way our health sector his today. saving life is a priority first before bed, if you are talking about equipment that is understandable but not ordinary bed cmon.

Some people don't seem to understand the issue here, treating a patient on the floor or the ceiling should not a problem for any doctor. Look at the post once more, first, the doctors were outnumbered by the patients and the little facility overwhelmed. That alone in any part of this world is enough to warrant poor service. The doctors cannot duplicate themselves, remember they are human beings.  Then one doctor (which I'm sure, out of many who were guilty of treating patients not on bed), got reported by one patient who he treated one a wheel chair. What do you expect the rest of the doctors to do? All get suspended?
It was the management that brought about this consequence, not the doctors. Someone's saying even if he's fired, a doctor can never be idle.
Hope you know the services doctors render in this country (esp. in government hospitals) is solely on human sympathy, because they are not even being compensated for the work they do. This is not a matter of entering medical profession for hype and money; I don't believe that there's anybody that doesn't place value on saving human lives and voluntary work is the normal everyday activity of all doctors. Besides, even people outside the healthcare system know that there's no reasonable compensation doctors get from the gov't., so even if there exists someone that's in solely for the money, you'll definitely not find him in that hospital.
As I said, it was the management that brought about this senseless decision as far as I am concerned, cos even in the western world where this orthodox medicine began, doctors save their patients on the floor.
It's just us(Nigerians) that don't use our brains; with our terrible infrastructure and administration, we are following what people in far advanced countries set aside as laws and have now discarded because of its deficiencies/setbacks, instead of following what suits our current situation.
This is just the beginning of what this rubbish healthcare system (and the way we do things generally and accept rubbish) would turn into very soon if adequate reforms are not carried out early.
Nigeria needs a government with at least normal sensible human beings for anything to change.

Some people just come here and type because they have a desktop and type-happy fingers. Get the facts first then let it loose!

Let's stop insulting ourselves over the failings of our rulers, it's not worth it. The facilities in LASUTH is inadequate, the manpower not sufficient. Take it or leave it Lagos population is not helping matters. Government's knee jerk approach too is not encouraging. Solution? Expand the facilities, employ and train more manpower. Ditto for LUTH, National Hospital, Abuja and all other General Hospitals across the country.

Let's not fight over this.

Yet they expect excellent treatment from a STATE OWNED facility. The reason there is overcrowding in LASUTH is because of the upgrade and recent renovations that the state govt made. Most people prefer to go there rather than LUTH cos they expect better services there.

As long as our leaders continue to jet out to have medical treatment abroad, they will never pay attention to the health sector. The day they started establishing private secondary schools and private universities  education sector started taking the bashing.

PDP has said they will rule this country for the next 60 years. God save Nigeria.

d doctors are nt 2 be blamed here. d culprit is d overgrown pumpkin (dat is obviously used 2 travln out 4 medical check-up) nd instead of thankn d doctor nd God 4 saving his life turned arnd 2 accuse d doctor. wat if he had died, wu wuld he av accused in hell, ? 
Just dat where 2 elephants fights d grass suffer.

dey r all humans nd dey also av families 2 feed. if d suspensn were 2 be  more dan one month wat will he feed his family? who will remember him den?

Being a doctor shuldnt be abt "d hype and money" alone, bt money is sure a big factor. Even d Bible expects us 2 make profit, we all sow wit d hope of reapn. dis doctors av invested a lot of their money, time nd energy 2 get where they r now, so shuldnt dey expect smtn in return for all their years of labour? u talk as if d job is sooo easy 2 get. go and ask d job seekers wat its like 2 be without job.

The fault is mainly from d government, God knows there many graduate doctors out there lookn 4 employment nd d money is there (cos wen arrested by EFCC, we hear dem talk in billions), so there shuld be  no reason 4 man power shortage nd lack of facility

we need bloody revolution in nigeria, until it get to that level there would not be any reasonable changeS in Nigeria. We will just continue complaining and the government know that after complaining nothing we happen, if they know that they are not save even among their kingsmen they will change.

Nobody is ready to die or to be a sacrifical lamb in this country. we will continue like that, God can not come down and change this nation for us, we have to change it ourselves.

ASUU problem? if all nigeria student can match to national assembly, Aso rock, and disturb their daily debate on hw to embestle fund which they always do, may be something will be done.
