A reliable source in Aso Rock told us that the decision to take the First Lady to Germany for better treatment was borne out of the fact that her medical aides in Nigeria complained that they could not get accurate diagnosis as a result of insufficient medical facilities in the country.

floriana: Patience my love! My one and only crush. My long-standing object of infatuation. Am happy your surgery was successful and am convinced you will come back a more beautiful Dame and even damsel. At least that tummy I have always complained about will now go down after the removal of that steupid bloated appendicitis. Looking forward.......

chrome1: I wish dis will stop d printing of N5000 notes

BeraBera: After all said and done, the only part of the News that interests me is "She said that Mrs. Jonathan was getting better but added that the hospital management would ensure that she was fully fit before she would be allowed to go back to Nigeria."
Get well soon African Queen!

But wait oh, why are NLanders discussing someone's health soooooo keenly? And how come some say it's because she allegedly eats too much? Appendicitis does not only affect people that eat much. Anybody can have appendicitis no matter what u eat. It's only God that can save us. Some illnesses do not knock on the door b4 coming. So pls be sensible and stop talking TRASH

nicesunshine:
have you thought of the possibility that these rumours are emanating from Aso Rock to distract Nigerians from the main issues at hand?

Leemak: Has she not died?..oh almighty God we are seriously waiting for Patience Jonathan and Diezani Madueke corpses, pls let it happen in a very shortest time!

Brand_new: I hope she doesn`t eventually go the way of Stella.

Chukwueke Dan: Wow, even hospitals in abj cannot perform the said operation, this is a shame to nigeria medical services/association. Pls nigerians tell us the truth so that this will nt be the second time in this country. Nawao!

Incompetence is the order of the day in Nigeria. Imagine doctors in the presidency couldn't even get it right, but were treating the poor woman for food poisoning while it was a ruptured appendix. WHAT A SHAME! How can they complain of poorly equipped medical facility, whose fault is it. Now see one reason why people go abroad for treatment. [/b]

nagoma:

Ruptured appendix is an emergency that can actually be treated in nigeria. Where i blame the Villa Doctors is their failure to diagnose appendicitis. Appendicitis is basically a clinical diagnosis that can be done by any NYSC Doctor. Needing no magnetic resonance imaging or similar technology.
Why they failed to make the correct diagnosis , I believe is because the Doctors are also adulators and sychophants like many others in corridors of power.
Food poisoning and Appedicitis have common cardinal early symtoms of nausea, abdominal pain and vomiting. The only way to make a quick differentiation is to UnCloth the patient , lie him /her on his/her back, and examine the abdomen in detail and you will elicit the signs that will lead you away from food poisoning and to appedicitis as a firm diagnosis. These courtier palace doctors were too shy and did not have the professional courage to tell Dame Patience to UnCloth and for them to dip their hands into her (abdomen) stomach. So they continued wrongly treating her for food poisoning on the basis of syptoms alone. Until the inflamed appendix ruptured.
No body will confirm this but I strongly believe that is what led to the crisis - adulations and fake reverence.THere is no sustitute for standards in clinical diagnosis - even when the patient is rich and powerful.

adora4u1: Gist of it all...nobody likes Patience!

zeefever: Appendicitis is a diagnosis that medical students make every day & house officers or at the worst,corpers can carry out appendectomies. Its a disgrace to the country that Patience had to be flown to Germany for this. GEJ,spend more money in the health and education sectors and less on the 5000 naira note.

Biggyd2: So when will the average Nigerian be empowered financially to enable them make their own trips to Germany or wherever for minor surgeries, since our hospitals are not equipped enough to carry out such operations? Abi, is what is good for the goose not good for the gander?
