TheGoodJoe: So blame the government and not the practitioners.... In saner countries the government makes this provisions. I have a dad who's a doctor and I'd rather have him not treat a suspected case than have him exposed to a potential carrier.... And then he has to treat himself with his own funds?... No way.... |

snowblaq: He should resign and let those who can find a way to deal with the challenges of the job handle it. Doctor is not by force. The Doctors around the World risking their lives know what they signed for and swore an oath to. These Doctors are paid salaries too. They can sacrifice for personal PPEs to protect their lives too. Than standing as a health worker and watching a woman die helplessly for 3 hours. |

DanseMacabre: This one of the most stupid assertions I have seen in a while on this forum. Do you know what it means to be a medical doctor? Is it the government that will teach these clowns how to dress up in their PPE and attend to these patients? Or you want to tell me a teaching hospital don’t have these? Don’t angry me 1 Like |

TheGoodJoe: And you did not read the part where working without PPE made most of them sick and die of the virus?... My dear, wisdom is profitable to direct. No PPE, no work... Focus this energy on holding the failed government accountable instead of directing it to health care workers who have to also prevent not just themselves but their families back home from getting infected and dying. 2 Likes |

snowblaq: You did not read the part resign and let those who can deal with the hazard takeover. If those people had gone to the hospital and they said no health workers available, they would have taken the woman somewhere else. You do not swear an oath, wear lab coat, hang stethoscope, collect salary for years and run when the battle is on. We cried this for decades and people did not listen. Treat medicine like military and take devoted people who are ready to deal with it. Now people are running and letting a woman slowly die for hours. 1 Like |

snowblaq: This is absolute BS Don’t compare Nigeria with countries that are extremely overwhelmed with this pandemic. It is not out of place to hear that PPE getting depleted. It is not. This is a case of a state owned medical facility. There is no freaking way in hell that there are no PPE. Let’s call this what it is... It is simple inhumane, the doctors are scared and completely unprofessional. That’s what’s breaks my heart. My this angry because this is the second case of such I’m reading in a week. 3 Likes |

Chai. Who is to blame here? This is disheartening. But it is possible those doctors have no PPE to work with. In the event of a Pandemic pray to God not to fall ill because there is no emergency in a Pandemic. Every medical emergency coming in this period will be treated as suspicious. Way forward===> provide health workers with PPE so they can comfortably work. They are most at risk. In doubt, ask those who have tested positive after performing heroic deeds without PPE how far? |

pweeryambre:That is the problem. We have very few doctors. Real doctors called to the profession. What we have are science students who hated maths, have a flair for biology and decided to study medicine because they heard that doctors are respected and rich or because of their parents. Most were not destined or called to be doctors. There are doctors in war zones risking their lives for humanity. You know those ones are called to be doctors. A real doctor should not watch someone die because of PPE, especially when there is no certainty that the fellow is infected in the first place. 2 Likes |

Correcto:Please reply with adequate statistics and not fair amount. If you are privy to how the PPE was shared, pls let us know. You can't attend to suspected covid pts with just gloves and that flimsy face mask u guys bandy about. Just listen to.yourself@ re-using PPE. does that sound sensible to you? Why don't you suit up too with re-used PPE and accompany the docs in Nigeria just to stand and document for them. I bet you won't be caught anywhere near any patient suspected to have covid so why do you think other people without adequate protection should? Have you seen what the ncdc guys wear? Have u seen that in any teaching hospital? The advise to the public is not to come to hospital if having covid symptoms but to call ncdc... Why do you think that rule is there? Nigerian teaching hospitals are not centres for suspected covid cases, if suspected, it becomes the job of ncdc and the isolation centres to continue. |

So the doctor can not lay their hands on any nose mask and hand glove to attend to the woman? hmm but when she died they were nolonger afraid of her corps. Does it mean that the dead body of an affected person can not be transmited if it get in contact to another person? |

My anger is not because Ugwuanyi did audio 500million, but that the negligence of your kind is alarming.

The doctors are very unprofessional, as much as government is worst, we complicate things, the Corona they're running from, they would still attend to same patients last last. Even with PPE, doctors are still contracting it, these docs just wanted to be unfortunate. Getting a makeshift surgical nose masks and gloves to understudy her situation shouldn't be a big deal but the docs made a mountain out of a molehill. Many would still lose their lives over other sicknesses requiring emergency, but fear of covid-19 would make them be neglected and Rejected |

RTSC:Hahahaha...@ the bolded. Very incredible statement. So when it finally becomes certain and the doctor dies shortly after like we have lost some already due to insincere patients, who will continue the covid war? Will you provide for their loved ones and families? Besides that, the PPE also protects the patient from the at risk health workers if the pt does not have PPE. There's no emergency in a pandemic pls. Channel your grievances to the appropriate quarters or you go for a short course on attending to patients and actually attend to them yourself without PPE. If changes are not made like acquiring more PPE or making ventilators available for cases like the index case with severe distress... Many more people will die sadly including the health workers you are glad to kill |
