fine, thats how it should be but what in a situation where you're sack because of this singular act, what will you do?

saintiyke:

The fundamenatal in medical pratice is to save lifes not to waste it. Our doctors should consider our 'dyin and soon wil be forgotten
YARA DYE' and forget about union. But if one of these doctors have his son as a patient in that hospital, WILL HE TREAT HIM ?

dumodust:

it is people like black revo that will go back and sue when they are treated under a mango tree. Shame no dey catcg una, so wartime is a perfect comparison to the nigerian situation. Medicine if you haven't noticed has a medicolegal aspect, dont touch what you cant manage adequately or it's jail time for. The human nature has taught doctors a lesson and i'm glad that they're adapting, Humanitarian my foot. Thank God you now realise that there's a shortage in manpower. next time if they ask for more pay, attack them

Black_Revo:

Why should i sue if i am treated under a mango tree when the ultimate goal which i am looking at is for me to get well and be saved? I am not that kind of person. When my hand got broken because i could not afford the expensive medical bill. i have to do it the traditional way and i was treated on the floor. Today my hand is good and working for me. So what is the significance of a bed not that i dont see the importance. Not having a bed should not be an hindrance to save life. We are africans for heavens sake and we have all these misconceptions because of western values ad ideas. Have you asked your self how they practice medical treatment in asia side by side with western ideas. The west were first against acupuncture and many other asian ways of treatment but what do we have today?

You think the Nigerian situation is not worst than a war time or why are they going on strike all the time? The western ideas you are shouting about will not even have it as an option with way our health sector his today. saving life is a priority first before bed, if you are talking about equipment that is understandable but not ordinary bed cmon.

MUZBO:

See this trash-talking tramp-a$s toddler o! You started a tread for God's sake and you missed the main point. Here it is: a patient complained that he wasn't treated well by a Dr that breeched 'protocol' to save a life and he was suspended without pay. Don't you come here and say a bed doesn't matter as if you know whats happening in hospitals. Have you seen mothers put their babies on their laps while the baby is receiving drips and they have to sit there all night because there's no bed? If it pains you then go to LASUTH and pack and those patients to your trusty traditional healer and let them sleep on the floor. Beds in hospitals are as important as the Drs themselves. Fool like you!

Dav.e:

Some people don't seem to understand the issue here, treating a patient on the floor or the ceiling should not a problem for any doctor. Look at the post once more, first, the doctors were outnumbered by the patients and the little facility overwhelmed. That alone in any part of this world is enough to warrant poor service. The doctors cannot duplicate themselves, remember they are human beings.  Then one doctor (which I'm sure, out of many who were guilty of treating patients not on bed), got reported by one patient who he treated one a wheel chair. What do you expect the rest of the doctors to do? All get suspended?
It was the management that brought about this consequence, not the doctors. Someone's saying even if he's fired, a doctor can never be idle.
Hope you know the services doctors render in this country (esp. in government hospitals) is solely on human sympathy, because they are not even being compensated for the work they do. This is not a matter of entering medical profession for hype and money; I don't believe that there's anybody that doesn't place value on saving human lives and voluntary work is the normal everyday activity of all doctors. Besides, even people outside the healthcare system know that there's no reasonable compensation doctors get from the gov't., so even if there exists someone that's in solely for the money, you'll definitely not find him in that hospital.
As I said, it was the management that brought about this senseless decision as far as I am concerned, cos even in the western world where this orthodox medicine began, doctors save their patients on the floor.
It's just us(Nigerians) that don't use our brains; with our terrible infrastructure and administration, we are following what people in far advanced countries set aside as laws and have now discarded because of its deficiencies/setbacks, instead of following what suits our current situation.
This is just the beginning of what this rubbish healthcare system (and the way we do things generally and accept rubbish) would turn into very soon if adequate reforms are not carried out early.
Nigeria needs a government with at least normal sensible human beings for anything to change.

Allta:

I've said it, as a medical doctor, the well-being of my patient comes first, if I get sacked, I move on and look elsewhere for an opportunity. A medical doctor can never find himself idle, even if he has to do it voluntary. Having said that, there are those who come into this profession because of the hype and money, there are those who do it simply because of the value they place on saving lives.

The management is clearly at fault, and the State Government shouldn't take this case lightly, if it were in my practise, even the press alone is enough to make people resign from their positions.

arogbowei:

Let's stop insulting ourselves over the failings of our rulers, it's not worth it. The facilities in LASUTH is inadequate, the manpower not sufficient. Take it or leave it Lagos population is not helping matters. Government's knee jerk approach too is not encouraging. Solution? Expand the facilities, employ and train more manpower. Ditto for LUTH, National Hospital, Abuja and all other General Hospitals across the country.

Let's not fight over this.

Do you realize this is a public forum and you have no right to abuse someone? I have a different view than should not warrant insults. i was replying someone and not you okay.  Well peace to you goodbye.

saworoide:

As long as our leaders continue to jet out to have medical treatment abroad, they will never pay attention to the health sector. The day they started establishing private secondary schools and private universities education sector started taking the bashing.

PDP has said they will rule this country for the next 60 years. God save Nigeria.
