We Perform Surgeries With Torch Lights - Doctors

@ riendeer u av a perogative 2 hold any opinion u choose, I dont particularly care. Tirade or not, all i know is dat the doctors 2 have a share in d rot of dat sector as thier atitude ,professionally speaking is no longer wat nigerians used 2 know dem 4. It's a sensitive job & their negligence or oversight cost LIVES not ntin replaceable. If u entered d profession 4 d money & u observe d cash aint 4thcomin quit so u dont start venting your frustrations on innocent patients.

now i c wat kind of a doctor u are, the type dat gives excuses 4 is mistake, rather than apologize, that leaves your I.Q at nothing,  , no be yab, na true yan.

Whether you perform operation with a torch or not, just try to save lives

What d'u know about operating on a human body?

as 4 @ladeeh09 & his likes,  i'd rather be treated by a warm hearted rascal who appreciates d sacrosanct nature of human life than one who sees me as a mere increase in death statistics targeted 2 prove a point to govt that his sector is suffering a dearth .

Yeah, how I wish it were. Sadly enough, the situation is worse than what is stated. Healthcare issues in naija have reached emergency proportions. The doctors are not the issue and it's pointless blaming them as some of us are doing. The government policy on health care is yawning for attention.

how did the doctor conffess to this and dint die of embarassement na lie jor

Right. There are doctors who fail to comprehend the very nature of their calling and show disregard for human life. But they must be seen as  "bad eggs" and the problem not attributed to the medical profession or allowed to derail us from the issues of kleptocracy and official irresponsibility.

@bikini, am sure you won't allow a street rascal, no matter how warm hearted, treat you when you are ill. You seem to have serious beef against the doctors. Not every doctor is as nasty as you make it out. I have been to several federal hospitals and am yet to find a really foul tempered doctor like you've painted. It's usually the nurses that play that role. Seriously, you ought to give kudos to those doctors that, given the conditions the work in, wake up every morning and go to the hospital to attend to patients. Maybe you should take a day of and go to any of the federal health care institutions around you. You will find out that most times, you'll have a situation where ten doctors have to attend to about a thousand patients, that's 1 to 100. I tell you it's disheartening when you finish attending to one patient, you know there are about sixty others waiting outside. Most patients want the doctor to spend lots of time with them but you can only get such a luxury in private hospitals, if you can afford it. The doctor would like to attend to all his patients so he can have some time to himself. You can't blame him for getting frustrated. If you were in their shoes, you would also be frustrated no matter how cool and level headed you are. I can bet you that. There is so much pressure, so little equipment, really terrible environment and not enough time. Consider all these and you'll know why some doctors do get angry especially if you criticize their profession because the doctor name is the only thing that gives them pride. Apart from that, there's nothing much else for them to be proud of. You have to give them credit for trying. If after reviewing all these you still think they deserve all the aspersions you are casting, well there are many rascals out there that can give you treatment when you are ill. Am sure they will give you a discount.

am not surprised @ the manner pro reindeer & laheeh09 have promptly risen up to the defence . Abt 2mths ago your excuses of stress and work pressure would av made sense 2 me to an extent but not anymore.
  I still cant understand how one takes out his work pressure on d same pple that keep u in business: your patients. I also observe that this cholericl streak of theirs exhibits itself only wen they are in govt owned hospitals . When u go 2 their privately owned hospital where they are always wont to  refer u to, they suddenly& automatically can manage stress well.
 Too bad if my opinion rubs off on u all d wrong way, but i insist there is a great need for re-orientation amongst medical personnels.  your patients are the main reason u exist try not 2 take out your anger 2wards a decadent system on them. it's mainly your colleagues, not other professionals  @ the helms of affairs that mismanage your allocations not the common man ,  that throngs your office daily. Say no 2 wrong diagnosis,aloofness 2 your patients, bottleneck bureacracy when lives are @ stake, money-over-life atitude , & above all highandedness {esp 4 those govt owned hosp}. A life is still a life irrespective of  the ownership of the facility. That profession has fragilty as a distinct quality, stop eroding the agelong trust it. Thank God some still even deem it fit 2 go the extra mile 2 use torchlight, or even use d glow of bottled fireflies -a la reindeer.
  Beef or no beef, the atitude of naija health personnel not just infrastructure needs serious overhauling- a complete turnaround.

Wai remanding the surgion wey operated Stella in Spain (prison). Nigeria no get correct facillities wei i go use to perform this things. We NIGERIANS Don SCATERR SCATERR!

The Nigerian doctor is first and foremost a Nigerian before he became a doctor. So I dont see why people expect hospitals in Nigeria to be run like hospitals in UK or America. PHCN whahala affects all.NEPA or PHCN does not give hospitals (even government hospitals) any preferential treatment. Generators in hospitals are no different from generators at home or in our offices,they run on fuel and breakdown sometimes. So if you sometimes need candles and torch lights to see at home or in the office, expect that the same will also occur in hospitals.
