Thank goodness that all turned out to be okay. It is such a shame that after almost 80 after colonialism Nigeria is still grappling with basic fundamental issues. How does one justify government's lackadaisical response to a dire issue as Lassa fever? Sending half-literate person without protective gears, to take a blood sample of a possible Lassa fever victim is the highest peak of madness. When they call us sh*thole country, please no Nigerian should ever object. That is why we keep saying either we RESTRUCTURE this country or we BREAKUP! 2 Likes |

The same thing in university of Lagos excessive negligence by the government. lots of lassar cases. I'm really afraid government should come to our rescue it's becoming too much. No insurance for people working on these cases. I'm fed up with the system |

My dear, I salute your courage, though I am Admin officer working in clinical services unit of one teaching hospital in the south east, pls don't be deterred by behavior of our government. Like our hospital, we have vibrant young CMAC who is up and doing. We have newly formed committee on Lasser fever, they are very proactive in case any eventuality. My good lord keep you and your type who work tirelessly to make our health system to work |

Leopantro: Wow!! I am beyond shocked! . You mean this actually happened to a medical doctor here in Nigeria?? Guy, I am grateful that God spared your life and had mercy on you. But please this story should NOT be allowed to die! It needs to make the front pages of the newspapers. Those who trifled with your life, by making the wrong decisions, and left you to your fate must be called to account for their misdeeds! This is negligence at its peak! This issue needs to be exposed so that remedial action can be taken. We do not have enough doctors within the system, and the few that remain are being treated with such disregard and horrible negligence. This actually happened to a medical doctor. Thank God, he knew what to do to save his life! If it had happened to an ordinary patient, he would have died. What am I even saying sef, the patient he was treating did die, but it was not due to lack of treatment or any negligence, on the doctor's part. He should actually get a medal for going over and above the call of duty, in the kind of care he showed to the patient! But the health authorities who kept issuing stupid instructions, instead of taking action should be dealt with, severely. Heads should roll!! Things will never get better, if we do not expose this kind of rot within the health system. Don't be surprised, money may have been voted and released for the supply of PPE's but it was never used for that purpose. Who is the Commissioner of Health in Edo State again? In another country, he would be sacked if such facts came to light. cc: Seun, lalasticlala, please take this to front page! It needs to remain on FP for at least 4 weeks! 5 Likes |

A harrowing experience told in a beautiful write up. Thank God for sparing your life bro. Sometimes two years ago out of curiosity I took a course on diseases and epidemics in coursera.com (actually got a certificate from Pittsburgh university at the conclusion of the program). The gist is that I noticed a carefully lead down procedures for arresting infectious diseases in the hospital before it becomes an epidemic or even when there is pandemic. There are several bodies set up in the United States starting from what you may call local government Areas, to states, to federal level. All linked in chains of communication, all responsive team. It is really disappointing reading this knowing that we have at least a semblance of those bodies in this country but either without knowing their job functions or lacking the work tools. It is that bad. PS: The Dr. might consider writing as past time 2 Likes |

You see reason why an average Nigerian will continue going to church and believing in God. Look at the so many ways people would have been infected if it had turned out to be Lassa. The Hospital staffs, the hotels etc. God bless you Bro, and thank God for your life. My Nigeria why ? 1 Like |
