Analysiscorner:i never defended the OP. Pls kindly go tru my post from the beginning. I was among the first to chastise the OP for his gross incompetence. What drew me to the old fool Boss13 is the way he's insulting doctors calling vampires and murderers while we put our lives and comfort on the line of duty. Just read my posts and u will see the idiot is a fool at over 40 5 Likes 1 Share |

ritababe:My 'sister', Nigerian doctors don't feel their actions and inactions amount to wickedness or sadism! What do you expect from people that were trained under harsh and dehumanizing environment? The answer is indifference,nonchalance, sadism,mediocrity,et cetera! Nigerian doctors are just like Nigerian police officers! 4 Likes |

safepassage2015:I remember when you started to chastise the op. But I couldn't know when you changed. Since this is your annoyance, I will side with you that not all doctors are selfish. There are so many of them with the heart of Jesus. Similarly, the op is not wicked but inexperienced. |

xavier0327: My dear u're wrong. 1. D guy is a House Officer, d lowest rung of d ladder. There's a limit 2 what he can. 2. Getting may not b d worst dat can happen. He cud lose his practicing licence if he makes grave mistake, esp in this era of medicolegal jamboree & dat means he wudn't b able 2 practice again. So, wot ll then b d consolation dat he did d right Thing? Medical practice is a calling. Some go into it cos of "gud" pay (wc is not really wot obtains) while others cos of d joy & sense of fulfilment in transforming somebody's pain/tears into joy & lafta. Buh as u go along u learn 2 b Empathic buh[b] NOT Oversympathetic[/b], esp if u witness a case or more where a patient u battle 2 save his or her life comes against u in d court of law over a flimsy reason just 2 make cheap money. 1 Like |

Please, all the doctors in the house, if such emergency like the op narrated occurs again in Nigeria, please pay some money for the patient and start treatment, hopefully life would be saved. Then, come to the forum later and present the patient's case. You won't believe what could be realised for such patient. 3 Likes |

@Op, you are very stupid and naïve. How I wish the late lady's family will sue your sorry ass right now. Something of dis nature happened, instead of complaining to your superiors, the hospital mgt etc, you came to social media to disgrace yourself, and denigrate your profession cos of your stupidity and incompetence. Following orders from above why did you not immediately ensure that the patient leave that facility ASAP. Do you think that with this level of ignorance you just exhibited here you can save that life even in the best of centres. Which kind of medical school did you even attend?? Lesson: Always bridle your tongue. Stay away from social media. Improve Your skills and competence level. Learn how to be a professional and always differentiate bw professionalism and sensationalism. 2 Likes |

Analysiscorner: In a sane society the answer is no but in a country like Nigeria the answer is yes! Remember management could have sacked or sanction the doctor because the person went against protocol and in the jungle it's always about survival not morality. 1 Like 1 Share |

cramjones:I understand your point of view, but I guess you don't practise in the country presently. I'm not absolving the guy of any wrong doing but I can assure you I've experienced first hand lack of those essential things you mentioned, and yes in an emergency unit, infact so worse there was no needle and syringe. One of the solutions I think to this problem is for we doctors to be proactive ourselves. During my house job then, many of us had side bags we carried about that contained some of these essential things, bought with our money of course, and these were used for patients in emergency situations and when patients get more stable and was able to get his/her own stuffs, we just replaced some of these things we used for them in preparedness for the next patient. The doc might have just started house job and had not experienced this kind of emergency preparedness before, let's just be easy on him and hope he will pick up some lessons from this thread. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Re: My Bitter Experience As A Doctor Today by Ernestbukky(m): 4:29pm On Dec 27, 2015 |
All of u blaming the OP have not been to a govt hospitals to see how things are been run there. that your brother or sister is dying now is not their business, because before they touch the patient you have 2 first obtain a hospital card, then go pay for whatever they will use to treat your love ones. My people it happened to me 2010 when my father was at the peak of dying, none of them(doctors) care for the dying man. So don't blame the young man, he is just receiving orders & if he violates any, he will be fired. |

My country don't value life, our government continually killing us, we seem like nothing to them. We can only get better when we do the right time,with the right people. Imagine, how is money more important to life, greed. Actually, it takes just you and I to make the difference, as we wish for a better and great nation. For the lost souls, may they rest in peace, amen. Pax! |

There are too many emotional displays on this thread. The OP should not be blamed , he is too young in the profession. However, i believe someone should take up the challenge to sue the senior doctors on call that day...this will be a way to start. |

As far as Nigerians are concerned every hospital visit is an emergency. Headache that won't go away can take anyone to the ER. Most people only go to the hospital when they are sick(with the exception of annual pap smear for women and other wellness stuff) Once you are sick, it would be too late for doctors appointment that could take days. Nigerians don't really do checkups. Analysiscorner: |

Just maybe your act and your 'eventual' sack would have led to a an outcry... Just maybe, the outcry could lead to the change in policies that you complained of... After reviewing your write up again, I must admit your inaction makes you a part of the problem. 1 Like 1 Share |
