favoured234: Madam for final advice to you is this - if you are wealthy, do not patronize Nigerian hospitals. For little illnesses, there is a compendium of treatments by well recognized and reknowned world class doctors, you can subscribed to their services online. You can be their patient too. They can assure regular phone call check-ins, video chat or you can travel if the illness is complicated. If you are in the process of acquiring wealth, first get a health insurance. Second, browse for very good hospitals in the country. When you visit, be inquisitive. Insist on test before treatment and always read and research your test results and compare treatments. Doctors in Nigeria can diagnose wrongly. Finally, NEVER give birth in Nigeria If you are married and still breeding. If you ain't, put it in serious consideration. Take care 4 Likes 1 Share |

cosmatika: So we should laugh? I don't usually do this... BUT. YOU ARE A BIG FOOL. I don't think you're a MD. If you're then you're among the few foolish ones that dubbed, cheated to get there. You were a chronic dubber/copy cat in Med school, that's why you can't make independent decisions. You're a DUNCE. That's why you couldn't remember the Hippocratic Oath to take care that they suffer no hurt or damage. No, you didn't. Instead you mofo abandoned them. You have time to come and type on NL. Don't worry keep implicating yourself. I wish the family of the victims will see your post and do everything to see you are prosecuted for manslaughter and/or medical negligence. Your hands were tired indeed. "Orders from above". Hapu, you'll soon go to court and speak that grammar. Imbe 4 Likes |

Uten9z:well I understand you don't like reading posts b4 u comment bt i will give u a little summary. Boss13 said his mother was an assistant director at the ministry of health and hes privy to information about some budgetary allocations to hospitals and he knows some CMDs that embezzle funds meant for developing the hospital. Ok i now asked him y didn't him or his mom write to efcc to investigate some suspicious activities by CMDs. He ignored me and hurled insults. He also said he has received medical attention abroad which most likely or not was funded his mom. As a dr that is frustrated by the broken system, i want to do the right thing to fix the system. So i need his moms details to report her to efcc to investigate her finance because i also suspect she may have been involved in sharp practices. So where hv i gone wrong? 3 Likes |

Op. You did nothing watched patient die and you came here to make complaint. For doing nothing you share in the blame. From my experience, when it comes to life and death issue. There is no waiting for orders. I disobey rules and put my job on line to save life. You made no attempt to save the life before you. Shame. I can recall when a bus filled with armed robbery victims for gunshot wounds were brought to hospital in the middle of the night.Myself and a colleague battled to save the lives of 5 that we could handle and referred the others. We never waited for funds or orders, we just kept on working from midnight till 10am next day. Despite limited resources and 2 doctors on 5 patients on gunshot wounds. All we wanted to do was stabilize them before referral or else they had die. We even had to use adrenaline jab straight to the heart as junior doctors in between to show the extent and difficulty of the case, they were almost gone. God willing they all survived. Even met one of the patient in town sometime later, he came down from the car he was driving in the middle of the street prostrating telling people how his life was saved. Just that attempt to stabilize...means a lot. The last thing I ask from a patient is funds despite the hospital does not belong to my father. Do you know how many times, I was threatened and accused of embezzlement by hospital owner because I saved lives of people who couldn't afford treatment and money was not reflecting. Or I should tell you about me taking deliveries for #2,500 as cost of materials used rather than #30,000 deposit to be made before admission with further payment to be made as per hospital protocol. There are times you need to use your initiatives to save life regardless of whatever rules or protocols set. Life is delicate. If a panel is set up and you are asked what you did and you say nothing....waiting for Seniors. Means you are not different from a bricklayer standing by a dying patient. Enought of my Rant....I dey vex. 15 Likes 4 Shares |

I am a Civil Engineer, and I have several times gone against the orders of my superiors when designing or Constructing in order to arrive at the safest and best solution on projects. The worst thing they can do is sack you. But if you fail to do the right thing, and a disaster happens....you cannot say you are not responsible, because you could have made a difference.

safepassage2015: FYI and please note it carefully, I am not within your intellectual, age or class bracket. You do not address my mother wrongfully. I understand this is an anonymous forum, but you need to show and express respect. Your conduct on this thread continue to raise my suspicion on your reasoning faculties and decorum. You continue to reflect and represent the same issue we castigate. Do you want me to give you the name of my lawyer who wrote the petition? Should I now stoop low to reason like you regardless of previous instructions given to you to abet your situation. Are you this stupiid? That I have and continue to enjoy treatment from good doctors has nothing to do with my extended family. I have elaborated how you, yourself can enjoy such privilege, if you possess the means. I encourage you to write to the EFCC. My mother's details are not hidden. It can be easily access in Federal Min. Of Health. If you can be this concerned to solve your problem, it is a welcome development. However, if you think this is a funny game or ploy, then you need to get yourself examined. Avoid the contraption of assessing people to fall within your shallow and miserable life. There is a cure for you - Think out of the Box! 2 Likes |

The OP only acted as a receptionist. Making phone calls to Drs. Didn't touch his patient. No respect for human life. Appalling and Disgusting. Yet people are still supporting his actions. He has no excuse...Simple. As the most junior doctor in a private hospital in V.I, I worked in a Cardiology Hospital. Heart attack, Heart Failure..name it. I never waited for orders even if protocol says so. I must stabilize my patient, others can now adjust, add or continue treatment. If I were to act like OP making calls and doing nothing....some politicians you know may have died. Such that when they come around...they are comfortable seeing me even if the director or no Senior doctor is available. Op please you need to learn to be a SAFE DR. No offense. 6 Likes 1 Share |

@ OP: I have followed your post since 3am, and I am absolutely disappointed in you. Your excuse is lame and porous in this situation. The least you can do is to first do a first aid. To think that 2 of your fellow mumu Dundee united HOs joined you and you could not help shows crass incompetence. If the family of the lady should see this cheap sympathy craving post, I can assure you that you are doomed. Passion I'm told gives rise to action, you obviously don't have a passion for human lives as you claim.

Just came back from church and reading through comments. Now I would be practical and say what an ideal house officer would have done, having been onr 1.triage and start resuscitation. Actually apart from securing an iv access, commencing iv fluid, and commencing oxygen, he wouldn't be able to do more. Urgent transfusion might require blood from lab which is quite cumbersome unless you have friends in the lab who can loan you blood. Now the opportunity said he called 2 other house officers obviously older ones cos he is a novice. It's not likely that the other 2 house officers just stood there without even trying to get a line. 2. Actually at this point he should inform the registrar on call. Though when I trained we had experienced casualty doctors so as a house officer you collect blood samples etc. Now this is where I fault that hospital. You should never leave the emergency for a house officer. Have an experienced casualty officer at least. 3. Obviously the senior doctor was wrong by not being there for his house officers when they needed him. He was probably sleeping and didn't want to come out. But as a house officer once you hv informed your registrar and he tells you to refer you have to refer anybody telling you otherwise is not a doctor and wants to get you into trouble. Sometimes ill-equipped hospitals may not have oxygen, no blood and keeping that patient makes you more culpable than being superman. If that patient dies in your hand you will be severely punished. As far as you hv evidence that you hv informed your senior you will not be held liable.

safepassage2015: We are not thinking, you are already displaying it. You are still young. When you grow and surely you will, you will understand what proper decorum is all about. The only healthcare you can afford is that of Ghana or Togo. These are not mere words. I know what it actually cost. Doctor, if you are, don't continue to shame your profession and bring it to disrepute. I don't brag and even if I do, I have earned my sweat. When you actually leave your daddy's house and privileges in Enugu, start paying salaries and understand that your decision affects the lives of your employee's families, you can talk to me. Finally, your family lawyer is a politician and friends with daddy. Go get a proper practicing lawyer and ensure you keep him on yearly retainership. Fool, the last time I did daddy's stuff was 18 years ago. Grow up and be a man, and make and take decisions like we do everyday. Be guided. 1 Like |

He's a politician which makes this case a very interesting for him to bring to logical conclusion esp with the anti corruption stance of Mr. President. What shocks me the most is that at over 40 yrs you still use insults and derogatory words to make a point instead of valid arguments. At 40 yrs u still boast dat ur mom was once a director in Federal Ministry of Health. Men u are just a fool at over 40. 1 Like |
