TallPck1:
I can bet it that this issue is dead on arrival. Nothing would happen.

They are just trying to creat something out of nothing.

TRUSTEDGUY:


There's nothing special about this topic men harness the female folks daily and the same holds for some female folks against the male why this is making front page beats my imagination.

peacettw:
I will not take this article seriously because I can see clearly that it was posted to defame the doctor.

Notice how only his name was written in full. The assaults were also described in detail with exaggerated anatomy lingo.

The writer of this article and the moderator who pushed this to the front page should be very ashamed of themselves.

DEXTROVERT:
Reasons why the Nurse could be wrong.

1. Being an Elder in the profession, She knows Nurses and Doctors have superiors in each profession, hence no matter how junior a doctor is especially HO, Its ethically wrong to take instructions from nurses especially with respect to patient management. He will rightly inform his seniors about the patient refusal for catherization. But she taunted by repeatedly telling him what to do.......and the doctor replied by slapping her......Only a crazy person will just look at you and slap you for saying so.

She obviously harbour grudges from previous encounter that the doctor rejected her advices...hence she is tempered that she doesn't want the HO to use her Sphyg..that's so immature of a Mum she claims to be.

Next the guy starts beating her.....imagine..


I'm sure there's no video evidence of the above.
I'll advice the young doctor to make more money by sueing her for defamation of character, Libel .

Otherwise she should sue the young man for assault.

Vega100:

You are the only sensible person on this front page. Without hearing from the other party, I can swear with My Life, that this NEVER happened this way, I Can Swear with everything in me, that it NEVER happened.
The way people come online to write nonsense and discredit people is terrible, why are we like this?

I work in a hospital, and I particularly know how this nurses (especially the older ones) could be so mean, arrogant, insolent and violent with doctors (especially the junior ones) perhaps the believe that this one na small pikin, and they treat them with utmost disrespect.
This NEVER happened! A house officer, will never assault an ACNO, despite what this doctors face, I have never seen a case where any of them went physical. In most cases, those older nurses know many people in high powers, so the younger doctors stand no chance.
It just pains me so much what was written here, it's really hurtful. I understand the whole scenario and it's not alright when people distort a story against other people.

The story of slapping her for asking to document for not catheterizing a patient is even stupid, follow a HO outside to tell him how documentation is important, that will NEVER happen with those nurses. If them no use mouth finish u for patient front.

Please stop all this nonsense of tarnishing people's name, please, it's unfair.

Cityguy:

This is not necessarily true. The fact that they are doctors does not mean they have to tolerate trash from someone like this Nnena of a guy. If that is allowed there, it is as a result of personal flaws on the part of their MD. The unions must rise up against this nonsense. That guy must not be allowed to finish his house job there and that must be an albatross he carries for the rest of his career life. He is foolish, arrogant and undisciplined. The woman in question should sue him and the hospital in event that attempts are made to cover this up or handle it trivially.

cococandy:
Lack of professionalism. In no way should any worker raise hands to another worker in the work place. Automatic dismissal and/or jail time in saner climes.

TriliOne:


The medical director of the hospital is a doctor. The head of clinical services is a doctor. They will likely sweep this under the carpet to cover up for their colleague.

Correcto:
Unfortunately some doctors are stupid, likewise some nurses. Shameless Doctors will avoid fighting lab scientist so as not to get beaten but will flex their muscles on nurses

ogbuefi677:

Your inferiority complex is very palpable.
Sorry ooo

obuksjr:
The mod that brought this to front page to defame the doctor, have you heard the doctor' s side of the story?

A write-up that was written by a nurse, and you expect him or her not to be biased in judgement.


MODIFIED: The doctor has been contacted and he was about writing a rebuttal to this article but ARD FMC Owerri asked him to hold on for the association official release tomorrow.

And the OP that posted this defamatory article, Are you aware that the said nurse slapped the doctor on 20th of December, 2019?.

Are you aware that this case has been settled by the hospital management?

Are you aware that the nurse in question has denied granting any interview or asked anybody to post such write-up on her behalf ?

The Nairaland mod that pushed this to front page without verification should do justice to push rebuttal statement once it is released.

Pls stop typing rubbish.
Nurses are not paid as much as doctors anywhere.

You are certainly mad. I can pay your poor salary for good five years with less discomfort

If you've been in a hospital setting even as a patient relative, you'd know this story has 99% chances of being lies or extreme exaggeration.
How can the house officer get angry at som1 who tried to remind him about documentation,something that could save his license and life in case of litigation?Does that make sense?
Then,which health worker brings his/her personal equipments to work in a busy hospital like that?
Not that its totally impossible but we all know its very risky cos you could contract one of the numerous diseases flying around in the hospital and send home to your family and loved ones.
Now imagine bringing your personal sphig to d hospital and using it on suspected lassa fever patients,skin infections,etc and taking the same equipment home to your personal space?
Health workers rarely do that.They'd rather contribute money to buy and donate if the ward lacks such equipments than use their personal stuff.
A house officer has a lot to learn from the nurses as d house job is their first practical experience,so he typically defers to d nurses soo soo much especially as most of them are older in age
For eg,your seniors come to rounds,do their own parts,give instructions on the rest and leave.
If you cannot access a vein to collect that blood sample, it is a nurse that will save d day for you or maybe a fellow house officer though most times they are greenhorns like you.
If you can't set that IV line,it is d nurse.
If you can't pass that catheter,it is d nurse.
So typically,d house officer is very meek with the nurses,you don't even know who is married to your consultants or other seniors so you wouldn't even want to talk back for this reason alone.
If this incidence really was b/w a house officer and a senior nurse, I can wager my last dime this story is outright fabrication cos the senior nurses usu have this mentality of "how can this small boy I can give birth to be commanding me" meanwhile d issue in contention is part of the work govt pays them to do.

Not necessarily. Even if everybody there are doctors , he will still get served.
If she is not satisfied she can get a lawyer.

Damnnnnn niggarrr
Although there are three sides to a story
1) the complainant own story
2) the accused own story
3)and the true story

Buy i must say our doctors for Nigeria own too much
Na here for Nigeria doctors dey behave anyhow

Go developed nations

Nurses earn more than doctors
Nurses are paid well more than doctors in developed countries


Na here our doctors for dey do gra gra
Them nor even know anything

That is why most of our consultants doctors dey fear to go developed countries because if them reach there
They are to start all over again by undergoing lots of exams

salihu2nic:

This is the most fair comment on this post so far......
The writer is 99% likely to be a nurse. This is a cheap way of getting public sympathy. Bringing a personal sphygmomanometer to the ward is the least likely of event. The ACNO in question might have wanted using her position to stop the guy from using the sphygmomanometer or the guy may think it’s the Hospital’s property. The cuff of a sphygmomanometer is the last thing u will use if really one wants to inflict trauma on someone...... So it’s likely a lie.
There is likely a misunderstanding btw them and the dr might have overreacted. This, the writer exaggerated in his post.

Isn't it ideal for a nurse not to bring her personal equipment to a public hospital.

For real, i have seen nurses bring more than an equipment if it will compliment her meagre salary.

I can go on and on with the ideal stuff.

Sgwash:
Whenever tales about Medical doctors are told, the whole of Nigeria come out to show their inadequacies, probably cos y'all feel doctors are an easy target to throw jives at.
As a human, I've faced more unbearable humiliation from civil servants, bankers, traders, drivers, Tutors, and almost every other professional entity, yet y'all come out to troll doctors at the slightest provocation, as though that is the solution to this dead Country's problem. Shame on you all... Time will tell.
