Dead people don't get admitted to the hospital , they go to the morgue , the crime would be if they turned away a live victim

Is it proper for a doctor to certify a patient dead at the entrance of hospital gate?

a very big No

Lexusgs430:


We have holy water, blessed olive oil, Quran + goat horns (drapped in red cloth), in various houses. We simply use it to cure the sick and wake the dead.........

ifyalways:

What was the time frame?
28 seconds? He had no stethoscope. It could be a case of faint heartbeat or pulse, no?

Madam, I was, only stating my reasoning based on thier press release.

If he had no stethoscope, he would have not been able listen to any rhythm from the heart, but he could detect a pulse reading without a stethoscope.......

nkwuocha:


You people are the problems with Nigeria.This attitude is just a ploy by hospital management go exempt themselves of further responsibility. In a saner clime, the hospital gates are opened to EVERYONE first even if dead. As long as the body is transported to the hospital, the gate should first accommodate the victim.

it is people like you that are the problems of this country Nigeria

No.

When I was working in a private hospital in Warri, a cleaner(!) actually certified a lady dead at the gates of General Hospital Effurun and sent her away. Evidently, receiving patients was below the dignity of the nursing staff there. Her distraught mother brought her to the hospital I was working, where we revived her.
What that doctor did is wrong; he should at least have had the courtesy of examining the patient properly on a couch indoors even if the diagnosis was already in his mind.

Nigeria is a jungle.

ifyalways:
Interesting to see the defense Doreen hospital could come up with after two weeks or so.

What's more interesting is that the doctor attended to and certified a MAN dead outside the hospital, right on the streets like a dog, even a Fooolani cow deserve better.

Looking at the timer from the video they uploaded, it took this doctor mere 28 seconds to decide this man was doa without as much as a stethoscope (none on the doctors hand or neck). Very sad, indeed.

If you no get money for this country, forget it. Would they have treated the man or corpse same way if he was brought in an Suv?

Even if you have money there is still the possibility of dying like a dog. Its that bad.

IDEKEALUMONA:


Doc doc, equipment like MRI kwo? CPR to check the pulse and you give up 'IN' NigeriA doctor. LOL
In America where you practise,you people use heavy equipment to 'SATISFY' people dead.

david22uu:


Please don't kill me with lafter... @ he may have small life in him... life is life, no small no big

Small...just small. So we can join our hands together and make it bigger.

olaxx:
It is only in Nigeria where you see a doctor diagnosing an emergency patient on the floor of the hospital entrance gate.

And it is only in Nigeria where you see people make ridiculous statements with such brazen confidence despite them knowing next to nothing about a particular subject matter.

Go watch medical series and you'll see patients can be attended to outside the hospital and there's nothing wrong with it.

Typical Nigerians that'll prefer to listen to what their pastors and yeyebrities tell them and will quickly come online online to yap the nonsense they've been told.

webincomeplus:

Yes. All I need to certify a patient dead are my stethoscope and my pen torch. You don't have to bring the patient into the hospital before I can check the patient with those. And I can quickly check for all signs of death within 30 seconds.

Nobody likes bad press. If I allow you to bring an already dead body into my hospital, what will start flying around is that he/she died right in my hospital or due to negligence on my part. Again, nobody wants to make the news for the wrong reasons, especially here in Nigeria where people "dive" into conclusion without verifying information.

Thank you my brother, help me school that boy called olaxx.

ELKHALIFAISIS:
how do you as a doctor satisfy one dead without running a proper check on him with equipment... he might be unconscious, they should have run a check on him, did they run CPR to ascertain if the person is not breathing or does not have a pulse... I always give up in Nigeria doctors

See as someone who didn't even smell a nursing school let alone a Medical school is trying to tell a doctor how to certify a px dead. That's d problem with Naija, a lot of square pegs in round holes. It's no wonder we have a certificateless man as a leader. It's ds same people who'll rather listen to their pastors to disobey their doctors and bring their tithe to rebuke the devourer, until d ailment devours them finish, then they start looking for superman doctor to resurrect them as they prolly expected this doctor to.

Walahi it is finished for this country..

Lexusgs430:


Bros, for the Doctor to have certified him dead upon presentation, simply meant no pulse or heart rhythm was detected.
Why conduct CPR on a dead patient?

Bros what are you trying to explain to a mechanic?

Sometimes I wonder how some of you kids on nairaland think we are in the same age group.
You call me a boy as if you know me from the hood.
If you are lucky to meet me in person you won't dare address me as such.

Nairaland is a faceless forum where opinions are expressed. Learn how to talk to people and criticize objectively. Some people here are old enough to be your dad.

I honestly dislike your personality.

He's already dead since 2014, now you and your father can goan die

EgunMogaji:


Not true, at least in the US.

At an accident scene, say electrician getting electrocuted, first responders will code him m dead and they’ll leave him there, not take him to hospital. The coroner will come and pick him up.

No hospital involved.

At least first responders are there to attend to him and code him dead ( which am very sure are well trained) here we dont have such so the hospital is the first call here and they have a duty to give a proper treatment as well

And they did give him proper treatment. The Doctor is clearly being seen coming out to do just that. He coded him dead, end of story. He works for a hospital and not a mortuary.

Your angst shouldn't be with a private entity, it should be with the Nigerian government via it's Ministry of Health.

Segun Arinze finally laid the matter to rest when he attended a meeting with Doren Specialist Hospital and then apologized for his malicious and unverified report on his social media handle.
