No law says documentation before attending to emergency cases. You have to attend to emergency cases before documentation. Don't justify non-charlant attitude towards patients
You must be in limbo to believe what you just wrote.

He is here talking about LAWS.....bua hahahaha. The lawmakers make a law, the CMDs and the doard of mgt makes theirs and then the internet warriors will be blaming the footsoldiers....nurses and doctors....... undecided undecided

Thank you very much. My thoughts exactly as I was reading her drivel. And all those 'oh my God almighty my saviour' bla bla bla inbetween her narration sef, yet didn't state exactly what the nurses did or how they specifically treated her.

I wonder what else you want to know. She said her child was bleeding profusely but the nurses insisted she must get card before they can attend to a dying child. Until when you find yourself in her shoes before you understand her

When my younger brother was admitted in DELSUTH 2years ago, mhen we saw hell. My bro was mostly abandoned on their A&E unit and he was unconscious, the doctors are invincible, nurses claim they were not assigned to my brother, we were running around teaching hospital looking for my brother's doctor, all of them will claim they are not his doctor.

Hours later a doctor will come, take a look at him and vanishes again. There was this nurse assigned to my brotgerthat i will never forget.
Her shift was suppose to end Mayb 6 or 4, she close 30mins to her time and the nurse that is suppose to take her place has not arrived yet. I saw her going home and i tried calling her then she started running, she heard me calling her and she ran and didnt even look back.
Thank God my bro made it through, i for find her
O boy! This is scary! I was actually torn between laughing and weeping reading this.

Your observations are utterly baseless. Sorry to say!
Why would you conclude so ?
Have you lost a child before or have a child that is dying ? Before you attack me, I have lost two at infancy and one was due to high-handedness of our almighty nurses....
She had a dying baby and she was hysterical and here you are calling her rude and all manner of names.
Do you expect her to be gentle when her baby is dying ?

What manner of weed did you smoke ?
Abeg park your tortoise car well make my Venza pass.
What are you even saying?
Abeg I no fit talk because I dey feel headache

Don't insult or attempt to insult me again. You lost some of your children, OK.The death of babies are most times are as a result of parents actions and inactions. Clinicians have their fault too. Have you wondered the part you played in the death of your children? Open your mind wide and sincerely look at situations of life.

when i did an operation in my tummy. the nurse assigned to me was a witch, she kept on pulling the stitched area in the name of loosing it. and i was there bleeding profusely. thank God for our family doctor who came in and saw how weak i was. she gave the stupid nurse a thunderous slap to reset her brain to factory unit.
i ended up having blood transfusion.

You must be really mad to be rude to someone that can make or mar you. What da fvck embarassed Nigerians are really mad.

Some people are even saying they will beat the person up, what the heck? If you touch that person, then bye bye to mother earth then cos you dont value your life or relatives life either.


Here we go again...the cage mentality! So it is only Nigerians or in nigeria that people are rude or can be unruly abi? I sincerely hope you do not work in the service industry because you don't even get it at all.

Saving the life of the child should be a professionals priority not who was rude to him or her.

U know, sometimes I think the nurses'/doctors' reluctance in administering treatments during emergencies is just a way to cover up their doubts/inability to handle the situation. So if the patient eventually dies, they blame it on the patient's inability to meet the conditions for treatment... lol

My child was bleeding from her naval and this kind of bleeding no be child's play oooooooo, my child had just lest than 1hrs to survive and we were really desperate to do anything to help her live, we rushed our baby to this government specialist hospital precisely Braitwaite memorial specialist hospital ( BMSH) because you see, I am revealing the name to the whole world and also to the authorities in the River State government to point out to them that what they have in their specialist hospital isn't human beings but witches who are so happy to see people die if not what on earth could make a trained nurse be so ruthless, heartless and without any kind of affection for bleeding and about to die child who came to be nurse and treated under the able hands of these physicians.


My people, I saw hell, this species of human had no time to attend to us and my child was slowly passing on my God Almighty, thank God Almighty for a very special doctor, the senior pediatrician who was touched by CHRIST JESUS my LORD to attend to us.. this beautiful doctor took it upon himself to attend to my baby oh for God's sake, he was very exceptional, those same nurses, came to this doctor to complain that this baby doesn't have a folder with them why is he treating her, oh my God Almighty, what could have degenerated this kind of human being to this low finish, you need to see the look on my face when those heartless nurses said such, the doctor simply reply them that they could see that this baby is passing on slowly that if this blood isn't stop from flowing through her naval that any help given after now will be zero.



He needs to do something immediately, wow, heavy defeat for witches, by God's grace he finally stopped the wicked bleeding and referred us to Kelsy Harrison Specialist hospital where we did blood transfusion and other serious medical assignment.




Thank God Almighty, my baby is stabilized, but the question remains why this nurses are so wicked minded and without Natural affection, is it that they have seen much death that they don't care anymore if another dies.?

Life goes on
thank God for your baby's health but I will tell you that one bad apple doesn't make the whole tree bad. I guess it was nurses that did the blood transfusion for you in the other hospital. Attitude matters

Get this to your empty skull, no law says you should do documentation before attending to emergency cases, OK? And if there is, you can tell us the section and perhaps post it here. Documentation is for record purpose. It's not first line of management in emergency cases. Let that sink into your skull

I can see people typing what they feel about his issue but have you given it a thought that every line of work has its own standard of practice and administrative laws guiding them?

I really don't blame them on how they react sometimes cos working conditions are just against them and truth be told these set of people are overworked and the ratio of nurses to patients is just too absurd.

A trip to UCH, Ibadan will change your perspective about clinicians I'm general.

I have seen clinicians crucified everywhere for no reason. It is in their job as nurses to check and document the patient's info and presentations. The nurse(s) asked the Dr for God's sake,is that act of negligence or wickedness? She called the Hospital and the nurses out. Tell me their exact fault. We might be the patients, so we want to finish them to satisfy us.

Get your facts before you speak
Think before you type

She brought in the child as an emergency case
Hospital policy was get a card before anything
Even if she wanted to bend the rules a little,
Is it her money she will use to buy drugs or injections?
Abi she'll take from other patients there

Or lemme even ask,
She brought the child in
does the Nurse look like a doctor who should review the child



Please stop talking rubbish

This story is incomplete

What was she expecting the nurse to do sef

Open her mouth and pour drugs into the child without being seen by a doctor or what


People just come online to type rubbish because they feel they have an opinion

Many are mad!

It seems you are uninformed. Don't you know that that there is what they call emergency nurses.....nurses for A&E? And even if they couldn't do anything, they were supposed to show sympathy and call the doctors on call immediately. And if you read the post carefully, you will see where the nurses were trying to stop the doctor from saving the life of the patient because the mother has not obtained the card for documentation. You are here justifying nonsense. Like I said earlier, strive to make corrections among your colleagues in the profession instead of justifying this wicked attitude. It may be you or your relative tomorrow that will be in her shoes
Re: Why Have Nurses In Most Hospitals Lost Their Conscience And Without Sympathy? by speak2me2015: 4:25pm On Sep 26, 2017
There is this prejudice people have against nurses.
People should read the story line by line, comprehend it before commenting.
I know there are some bad eggs in every profession.
I have gone through your story and the only thing you mentioned was when the nurses asked for your child's folder. And this is for proper documentation.
I read where you said that the child had only one hour to live. How did you know the number of hours that your child had to live?
Where were you when the bleeding started? Why didn't you take the child to the hospital when the case was not serious?
Am sure you were running from taking your responsibility as a man waiting for the worst time so that you can vent your frustration on the profession.
As long as I am concern you are just saying this to get sympathy.
Wake up pls
