Raine80:

The nurse administers, the doctor prescribes and the pharmacist dispenses the patient has an adverse reaction that has not been documented because no one knew about it even the patient was aware of it. Who exactly is guilty of malpractice here?

rezzy:


I can relate. I Pray she survives this oo. The same symptoms my sister had o. My sister didn't survive this.

darbeelicous:
maybe I'm wrong and the drug z not expired, that does not warrant the nurse to administer it without proper consultation...... I'm not a medical personnel, but I understand that people react to stuffs they're allergic to. This is what the nurse should have inquired about before giving her the treatment............ U would understand more if this little girl is your loved one.

adecz:


This is why people like you, who attended night school keep failing WAEC English, year after year because you do not understand English comprehension of some simple stories.

This girl had a slight sickness & was taken to a chemist where a nurse treated her. A while after, she came down with this reaction. Seeing the seriousness of the condition, she was taken to FMC where doctors diagnosed her condition & are treating her. She didn't go back to the chemist!!! !

Haba!! !

Olodoness is a catastrophic matter ¡!!!!

Jman06:
You are just blabbing incoherently like a broken congo record. The person that gave the drug i'am sure is not even a qualified nurse, and was why i said we should do away with unqualified people giving drugs. Yet, you jumped into my mention! What were you afraid of?

I know that the doctor prescribes drugs { and corrected by a pharmacist}, the nurse administers and the pharmacist dispenses in our hospital settings, but the person that prescribed, dispensed and administered in this case is neither of the three professionals.

SirVintageCock:
Bros, you just dey misyarn. Blood sample my left yellow ball. Is that one history too.

Raine80:

Zero cares given to be frank

funmisticqueen:
History taking is actually the oral account, those other ones you said are called investigations or workup, which medical school did u go to sef?

Jman06:
I weep for Nigeria with people like you parading yourselves as medical personels!
Now let me educate your ignorant self. There's what is called pharmacogenetic testing which involves taking samples from a patient and running genetic tests on them. The result is then matched with those of previous sufferers of the reaction to determine the suitability of the drugs for the patient.
Go to good schools, they would not!

DrObum:
This is likely to be Steven Johnson's Syndrome.
A rare adverse reaction to some medications.

Doesn't mean the drug was expired or the nurse was wrong.
Could just happen.

God help her though.

gustav25:
why are you seekinattention with your personal image ?#attentionWhore#

SirVintageCock:
and this is medical history Right
I weep

Jman06:
I warned you but you seem bent on on exposing your ignorance, perhaps to impress ladies.

Now, it is part of medical history taking because it involves comparing the genetic parameters of previous sufferers with those of the patient, and it is done prior to drug administration. Lol. Learn to keep silent on issues you know nothing about.

Jman06:
Was your finger itching you when you quoted me first

funmisticqueen:
First of all what she is suffering from is called Steven Johnson's syndrome, it an adverse drug reaction, especially some anti malaria drugs like fansidar. If the drugs are fake, it can also cause such. Steven johnson can be very fatal. It is not the nurse, it could happen to anybody. We can only pray for the girl instead of abusing girls. Are you from deeperlife. Please refrain from making ignorant points and stop looking for people to blame.

lovelygurl:


You too! USE your brain it's in your head not on your head! Learn to read

Neddyogu:


Stop ur show of ignorance. Looks more like an allergic reaction to the medication which is nobody's fault. Just genetic variation. This is the reason we pray for Nigeria's healthcare system to upgrade to the level of 'tailor-made' Medical intervention. Maybe Genetic profiling would become commonplace one day. But when?
At least d parents of dat girl can now identify one allergen their daughter reacts to. Leave nurses outta this.

Raine80:

Quite the contrary actually ...its meet the eye not meets the eyes by the way.

xendra:
so you couldn't nicely make a comment without bringing your gender issues in that's just stupid. even doctors kill too, this is not a gender issue.


Wish the little child quick recovery.

2dugged:
why do Nigerians always assume every nurse is a she ,such level of ignorance, so also some people call patent medicine dealers doctors

Raine80:

Quite the contrary actually ...its meet the eye not meets the eyes by the way.

nNEOo:


Blv precautions would have gone a long way,
things like asking questions and doing proper investigation b4 administering medication,
a schooled nurse would have found out if her patient had an allergy.

it should actually be ''more to human than meets the eye''. thanks for the correction anyway.

nNEOo:
