Thank you. I don't understand why all of them are commenting down on the suggestion like they haven't done it at one point or another. Hypocrites
Most people talking down about it are medical practitioners themselves especially doctors and that's because it hurts their ego. Funny thing is they usually consult google too on most cases.

I personally had a near death experience this year and all thanks to God, google and "pubmed" website.

After spending thousands of naira at both private and government hospital, na google God finally use safe me. Even at that, I wouldn't use the word incompetent but inexperienced, not well trained ( most senior medical practitioners that suppose to train these people have traveled out of the country, eventhough issues like this happen throughout the world but that of Nigeria is getting worse by the day), high work load which could make them unbalance and lack of proper equipment for diagnosis.

But if you are consulting google, you really have to know what you are doing because there are also many wrong information out there.

My wife has been treating ashmatic cough since that Corona virus time because we consulted a doc in a general hospital, he said my wife is ashmatic.

It was just last week that we went to a private laboratory because the attack was becoming too much and she almost died. When we got there, after the test it was discovered that it was pneumonia that my wife has been battling all these years and she was busy taking ventolin tablets and the injection as prescribed the the doctor.

Some years back, my brother went to a well known private hospital, he was diagnosed of pneumonia, he spent huge amount of money in treatment but no improvement, he has to travel from Lagos to UNTH Enugu where it was discovered that he was having heart enlargement. Unfortunately we lost him because he has wasted so much time in Lagos where wrong treatment was being administered to him.

To say that many Nigerian doctors qrey incompetent is an understatement. They are just after their pay and nothing more.

Cardiomegaly is not a diagnosis. If you got told that that was what killed him in UNTH then your case is like from frying pan to 🔥.

Keep Concocting wive's tales as diagnosis to discredit doctors. No be only heart enlargement. Nah prostate enlargement grin grin

Yuval Noah Harari pointed out that doctors may well find themselves replaced by AI, which could be faster, cheaper and more efficient at diagnosing patients.
“If everything the doctor does is just take in information about a patient and outcomes and diagnosis, this is exactly the thing that would be easiest to automate,” said Harari.

I think he said somewhere that, research doctors would be hard to replace, though. Because they'll research new diseases, find solutions then automate them as well.
Make AI your personal Doctor, I don't think that should be a problem.

How do u also justify the fact that he refused to attend to d patient, until the patient was dragged to him?

Is it a doctor that could conclude that the patient is a drug abuser with any diagnosis that will be capable of doing doing any "differential" diagnosis?

You know why you are pained, but the truth is that if you continue blocking people from saying the truth about life threatening issues like this, one day u will stand b4 God in judgement and give account
This is one of the problems with you Nigerians.

Are you sure about this? Are you working based on what your wife told you or what you found out yourself?

Babies don't form in the stomach. They form in the womb. And I really don't see how appendix surgery will deform the stomach and cause a woman to be unable to give birth.

Machinegun91, give yourself some serious orientation. You shouldn't deprive yourself of having kids because one woman damaged her womb.

Whoever destroyed her womb is out there with his own kids while you're the one suffering for it. You deserve better.

Most of the times we think Drs are incompetent are not true. I can remember when my brother's wife was diagnosed of hormonal imbalance. The Dr gave her contraceptive drug among other hormonal drugs. When I saw the drug, I was mad. How can you give contraceptive drug to a woman that is struggling with conception. I took her back to the Dr., I was ashamed of myself after the Dr's explanation. To the glory of God, she has 3 smart kids now. Let the Dr's breath...

Hahahahaha...I am a doctor..your conclusion made me laugh.
Happy for your brother's wife..Cheers

This xray belongs to Funsho, whose doctors here in Nigeria told he has a living cockroach inside him, after complaining of severe chest pains and he can only be operated abroad.

Funsho sold his house, took loans and borrowed more money to enable him travel and pay for the treatment.

Upon reaching India, another Xray was done, he was told the cockroach was inside the Xray machine at the Nigerian hospital and not his chest. He was given prescriptions for the chest pains and discharged.

This isn't incompetence, it is more often a symptom of a diesease mimicking another disease.

Right sided abdominal pain could be appendicitis, it could also be gas in the stomach, infection in gentials and in women anything from urinary infection to ectopic pregnancy




Like the case I have right now on my table exactly.
Dyspepsia, enteritis, ectopic preg, appendicitis, PID, incomplete abortion / miscarriage Hepatomegaly, gas accumulation......these could be d likeliest scenario but asking d right questions can he helpful to d doctor in arriving at proper diagnosis and treatment.
Reason why elaborate laboratory investigation and ultrasound scans serves as torch light to a doctor at night.
But unfortunately not many Nigerians can afford proper diagnosis and so the Doctor ends up drawing conclusion halfway.

U can spend 70k to diagnose ulcer that 13k drugs can manage.

You keep saying all kinds of incoherent statements.

Does she have a colostomy bag?

Which one is stomach?! Where did she have the operation that tampered with her intestine? Where was the appendiceal stomp buried?

If she is pooing through her McBurney's point then she needs to see a surgeon.

If she has a colostomy bag then it's probably because she has a problem with her colon or rectum.

The best doctors give the least medicine , others are just doing medical business 😂😂

imagine a doctor rejected my lab result just because I didn’t do the lab at the laboratory he referred me to .. which I later found out belongs to his wife…
doctors are just the same as lawyers, the only difference is that lawyers merely rob you, whereas doctors rob you and kill you too…

if your doctor say you have 6 weeks to live, just tell him the money you’re expecting to pay his bills will arrive in a couple of months… he will check you again and give you 6 months to live..😂😂😂

The embolddened is the quote of the century for me.
