That's d dream" I'm always like how does that validate content of character? She wouldn't be able to play with you once you are married anyway because while your eyes are fixated on your screen, and your thumbs ache... She's busy waiting for the palmoil to get hot enough so she can pour in pepper and prepare your dinner. For shame! In other news sha... I played PES 2016. Its awesome. And Fifa is crap I agree.

By the way, we are negotiating with a state govt to set up a medical village adjacent to lagos. it is a multibillion naira project and will take off by HIS GRACE come 2017. i hope you wont come there asking for 20naira panadol. i just have your time today. i am only using you to relax after a strenous week. now you can gerrrrout of my mention |

Ur too irrelevant fr me to do same. Ur mentioning me and asking me to leave ur mentions. God is trying o. Hope u guys pay d contractors well to do a good job so it wont add to another abandoned or collapsed project. Also a quality pjt like ur saying in dis country has never come to completion within a year. And ur still negotiating. Shows how little u know abt construction too.

nonix22:wow you guys it's no longer funny. There is nothing wrong in crosschecking a prescription dosage for crying out loud. In every consulting room there is a drug formulary for doctor's use because there are thousands of medications and different dosages for different age groups, contra indications, side effects etc. it is a safe doctor that crosschecks his prescription and you should be happy. Over years of practice older doctors tend to remember more dosages, but the key thing is that the doctor is giving you the right medication and has made the right diagnosis 7 Likes |

I also read someone say a doctor can't make a diagnosis without a lab test which is untrue. In fact in the laboratory form you send to a laboratory you are required to write your provisional diagnosis. In standard centres your lab request will be returned if you don't have a working diagnosis. What the lab does is to confirm your diagnosis. Now nobody is saying doing labs is not important, it's an essential part of medical practice but in most cases treatment is commenced based on your provisional diagnosis before your labs come out. that is standard worldwide practice. Nigeria has its own peculiarities. If you work in a general Hospital for example labs that should take fifteen minutes may take up to a day either due to workload or lack of reagents or no light etc. Some assays take weeks to get results. Some tests are expensive and patients can't afford them. Some tests can't be done in our locality. So what happens is that the doctors tend to work longer with their provisional diagnosis in this part of the world which with good clinical skills is fairly accurate. 5 Likes |

Crusiant clinic, Ilupeju, Adeshiyan street is one of them ... I had an accident with my car and a keke napep guy and had to take two men with bruise to the clinic and the doctor cleaned the wound. After that i ask for my bill and the doctor said 70k for cleaning 2 bruise legs. No broken leg, no stitches ....... And I was asking the doctor before he start treatment for my charge he did not say anything that until he finish treating them. OK show me the break down of how you come about 70k the nurse said he can't show me ..... After so much story I paid 60k since the car is on full insurance. To my greatest surprise the foolish doctor refuse to give me reciept to claim damages after making a transfer to his account. He says he is not sure the money enter into his account even after receiving alert twice. Please people around that environ take note. And I think there should be a regulating body for this private hospital .... It is becoming an issue with private hospitals this days. |

teechudleyy: powerdiode: People here keep telling you that healthcare is expensive, because in your posts you kept emphasising the amount you paid - making it seem like you paid a huge amount. Let me state what most patients and relatives don't know. Healthcare is not just expensive, some charges are quatifiable most are not quantifiable. Patients usually try to quantify the costs ( making the hospital seem like its a bakery or pharmacy store) when they come up with story such as they only gave drip and 2 tablets and asked me to pay 15,000 - how do you pay for the knowledge behind that decision?. Hello, its not the drip or the tablet that he is selling - you could get that from a pharmacy store. It is the knowledge of the service that he is rendering that he is charging. If you did not go to the hospital, could you have known if that friend sustained a fracture or not, could you have known what tests you needed? Could you have known if the discomfort you felt in your breast which scared you was cancer or not. You go to a lawyer and he tells you what to do without selling you anything and charges you N20,000 for just giving his informed opinion on an issue. Some agents charge 50,000 or more for just telling you the process to get some things done. But when people come to hospitals they come with calculators in their head trying to calculate number of drips and cotton wool used. Since you know how much cotton wool and spirit costs why not go to where they're being sold and help yourself with it. 7 Likes |

sofadj: Oh mehn . The first one, I stated d price I paid for d drugs they gave to me, because It was given along with the receipts they got from the pharmacy they got it from. The second one about mums health was that we paid up. We didn't owe, and the doctor did not give us full information when he was discharging us. The third was in comparison to another hospital that treated me better for less. There is a reason I stated the cost in those cases. Notice d other cases I didn't. It's not that they were completely free but the price was beside the point. You people say I'm emphasising money without taking the purpose of those charges in the context into consideration. Obviously, u people will just defend everything one way or the other. I would pay anything for the doctor to let me know I'm fine concerning the breast lump case. Also, he could av referred me to someone else. But he only told me they attend to women over forty. It happens in my profession too. People try to assess why ur charging so much just to crunch some figures. But at least I treat my clients well as long as they pay my charges. That's my point pls. I understand you. Only hope u understand me as well. 1 Like |

eyinjuege: I totally agree with you here. I was ill in the US, preliminary tests showed 'likely pylenephritis' but they could get d causative organism immediately. A culture and sens will take 3 days, so after taking d samples for confirmation, they began to treat with broad spectrum antibiotics intravenously to stabilize me, made me drink water non stop to flush the kidneys, made me pee into a measuring bucket for reasons best known to them. When they results came out, they changed the IV antibiotics to tabs and I got better. Point being generally, a good doc may go with what is generally practised while the tests are being carried out. Or do we prefer he does nothing while waiting for result to come out?! |

I get where Teechuddley is coming from. No matter how little or much you are charging, a Dr should endeavour to communicate with his patients and know when to refer or invite a specialist. Its not the big money she is complaining about, its the attitude. I use GH, even the hospital for my HMO, I dont send. At least in GH, I sometimes plan with the nurses so they don't put my file with the overbearing Dr that never listens to me. Its not the patient's fault that the economy is so bad that your true worth isn't achieved (in Naira), its not our fault that the workload is killing. If you are a Dr or aspiring to be one, dont see this topic as an insult, let it give you an insight to how your patient feels. Be honest with yourselves....tell me one time you havent felt so disgusted with your Snrs with the way they spoke to a patient. And Helpee, REALLY? How old are you? 5? You had to go into her diary to dig out points and I am quite sure you didnt start from the beginning. What if you knew her personally? You for don tear cloth o!

sofadj: on a lighter note A well known rich businessman's wife broke her hip. The businessman got the best bone surgeon in town to do the operation. The operation consisted of lining up the broken hip and putting in a screw to secure it. The operation went fine, and the doctor sent the business man a fee for his services of $5000. The businessman was outraged at the cost, and sent the doctor a letter demanding an itemized list of the costs. The doctor sent back a list with two things: 1 screw $1 Knowing how to put it in $4999 = $5000 total. The businessman never argued 1 Like |

InvertedHammer: There you go with the typical Nigerian mentality: if something goes wrong just blame the victim. If someone gets killed they would say what was he doing. If a girl gets raped they would say why was she wearing that type of cloth. If a woman went to a poor hospital and met a poorly trained doctor who can't do proper diagnosis then you say the problem is from her end. When would you learn to call a spade a spade and stop justifying incompetence as a fact of life? I guess you Nigerians are so used to poor services that you expect it as the norm. 1 Like |

davidif:/ You are the one that is ignorant. Keep going to all those all-knowing doctors and they will send you to your ancestors soon. Have you seen a Code Blue run out of ACLS manual? I bet you haven't. But you are quick to jump online and type nonsense on a topic you know little or nothing about. Silly! If you visit the best doctors in the world for specifically any invasive procedure, you will sign the same waiver form which is an affirmation that no one is perfect in medical practice. As stated, don't run to your doctor at the first sign of an ailment. Knowledge of basic vital signs should come handy. If you can spare a few hours of all the time you waste reading nonsense on various blogs, you could read and learn a few things about your health and vital signs. If you want to be spoon fed, then be ready to face the consequences without whining and bitching about it. \ \ |

Individual research is good but the human body is highly complex that it's possible to misdiagnose things. Nothing beats having access to a highly trained competent pediatrician rather than going to a quack who thinks he knows it all. 1 Like |
