What I'm saying is that doctors are humans. And as such when they make mistakes, you look at the issues surrounding the mistake in an objective manner. For example, we haven't even heard from the hospital. As an enlightened person, you'll agree that no matter how compelling a one sided argument is, you still need to hear the other side before judgement. Do you know it's very possible the doctors may have offered a repeat surgery to find out what the problem was, and declined by the patient? Of course the patient will conveniently leave that out of her narrative.

Lazy youth; You r one of them, giving Buhari the whimps to backlash.

yua mad

Olalan:
So sorry for her, she's has gone through a whole lots of unquantifiable pains due someone's mistake which sometimes happens even in the most advanced countries.
A big slap on the face of the Nigerian healthcare system is the wrong diagnosis even after series of tests in different hospitals

enonche85:


In medicine, surgery to be precised, mistakes are not allowed. Surgeries are meant to be 1000% accurate, else that doctor should not be allowed anywhere near an operating theatre.

The doctor who performed that surgery deserved to have his licence revoked or suspended and the hospital should be sued and fined heavily for not been able to detect their mistake on time. Mistakes should never be allowed in medicine.

If this incident had happened abroad that doctor will never practice medicine ever again.

babajeje123:
Yeye set of people. Look at the way they are justifying their gross incompetence calling it medical mistakes. It is really getting to a time when people will start suing your ass, getting you fined and jailed and seeing to the withdrawal of your license. By the time this happens to some of you, sense will fall on others.

Segeshow:



Gross incompetence? For leaving a gauze in a patient? That has no reflection of the competence of the surgeon. It just means during one unfortunate surgery he and his team lost concentration and a medical mistake happened. It is so clear when people who could never smell the gates of med school during their miserable, mediocre, educational careers harp on topics like this and act like millions of lives are saved everyday by these so called overpaid quacks. If you have even a modicum of understanding of what it entails to go through med school, house job, nysc, six years of residency, you will never spew such filth and hate. You are simply a nonentity and a nincompoop.

JoannaSedley:
[ :-Here they are. I said it. Nigerian doctors can never take responsibility for their actions but will always look for whom to blame. Funny how you remembered there are trained theatre nurses and scrub nurses while you use quacks in your mushroom hospitals. I hope they sue the doctors and the hospital for their money's worth. The quack have nothing to lose. Imagine recruiting someone who has nothing to lose in a sensitive area like health. So much for the high jamb score Dokitas What sort of erroneous mindset is this? Clean up as in how? Was that what you were thought? Cos that is wrong.
When you rely on another person to do your job you will end up losing your license in cases like this.
FYI. It is not the nurses responsibility to clean up after any physician/ doctor. Nurses are not cleaners dammit.The nurse is practicing nursing while the physician is practising Medicine. The clean up crew for each profession should be a member of the said profession. The doctor performed the surgery with a doctor assistant and they missed something...and a nurse is blamed. The first assist who is also a doctor is there for a reason.. Ain't that pathetic. What happened to checking before closing?
They will soon blame the nurse as if na nurse performed the surgery.

So happy for Madame I said it

FYI, when you are the only doctor on duty for 24 hours non-stop, haven't slept in 2 days, haven't taken a bath in 3 days because you are a overworked, underpaid, exhausted Nigerian doctor working in a hospital where the theatre lights are normal bulbs that have been fixed on top the operating table, you are in the position for the perfect storm, a recipe for disaster. These freaks who do not know what it feels like to stand 10hours straight on your feet will now come and tell you that Nigerian doctors are incompetent. Awon anuofia. Animals.

frank41:


I don't agreed with you bro...western or advanced countries can't be too careless to leave any object inside the body of the his/her patient.
Cos their licence will be withdrawn from them immediately.

dokyOloye:
Doctors all over Nigeria perform thousands of surgeries weekly under d most terrible conditions like no electricity, no working air conditioning,operating with phone torchlights,no automated anaesthesia machine,no ultrasound guidance, poor infection control,and worse.
Yet,they manage to keep the general public alive and well.
But anytime there's a mishap like is inevitable even in first world countries,ppl like you come and vent your inferiority complex and envy on doctors.
Well,its good a whole lot of us are out or planning to go out already,at least to get a better working environment.

This same issue if carelessness was why a bread winner of a family was buried at the age of 53 just yesterday, he went through a surgical operation for treating a ruptured appendix and he ended up dead because of some unexplained complications. Mind you he was already recuperating after the surgery and BTW,the surgery was done in a first class teaching hospital. Bottom line,life is treated with little or no respect in our health sector both public and private, everyone of the health practitioners are just after the money. I went to a pharmacy to get honey to treat abdominal ulcer,which is an affordable natural option, guess what? The pharmacist was bent on convincing me to buy some very expensive drugs that I would have to repeat severally,not to talk of the side effects of some of this concentrated poison we call drugs.God help us.

Segeshow:


Ha ha ha, youre so stuuupiid i find it absolutely hilarious. Peptic ulcer disease is caused by a bacteria called h.pylori, that is the modern understanding of the pathology. Drink 8 gallons of honey and dont eradicate the organism with proper antibiotics and PPI. After a couple of months the ulcer will bleed and perforate, then you will bring your smelly , non-deodorant wearing ass to the hospital and expect me to perform a miracle when bacteria is pouring from your gastrintestinal tract into your blood stream. Then when you die, you and your equally ignorant relatives will be looking for incompetent doctor to blame, when in actual fact your gross stupidity and refusal to read a fucking book when you could have, would have saved your miserable life. Keep wallowing in your folly, im quite sure i will meet you sooner than later. what a fucking slowpoke on Sunday morning. You need an exorcist to remove the stupid demon in you.

What kind of medical practise is it to cut someone open just to diagnose what is wrong with them when there are series of tests u can do?, how does that even make sense to u?. It will further take the level of incompetence of the doctor/hospital to a higher level. Would u let ur self be cut open just to check what's wrong with u?.

The fact they could not discover their mistake and how long they took is the reason why they deserve to be sued and fined heavily.

I wish to know, is H. Pylori the cause of all PUD?

segeshow Please do read up on how honey has been used to treat ulcers in various countries and update your knowledge, Googleis free,come back and thank me later.I was operated on in 1997 to treat a ruptured appendix surgically, the wounds were not healing fast and a nurse suggested dressing the wounds with honey,in a matter of three days the wounds sealed up.So I know of the power of healing and other health benefits of natural honey God has shown me a while ago.This could help you in your profession.Thanks

Abdulnur:


I read, wow, that what a fight won.

But the hospital should be sued they'll compensate and sit up.

Protein0:
if I may ask, did the appendix rupture while on admission in an hospital? Or better still, how many days did he spend between the complaints of abdominal pains and the surgery, and where did he spend the days? Thanks

everyone of the health practitioners are just after the money . When you make insinuations like this, you are asking to be insulted. I agree most doctors, rather most doctors that know their onions have a complex. We can be very condescending and insulting when faced with behaviour and attitude we deem to be unintelligent. Watch HOUSE M.D, that is how a typical doctor thinks, even if some are too decent and empathetic to say what is in their minds. BTW not everything on Google is a medical fact. Read medical journals and peer review articles to see and understand how before a medical fact is accepted worldwide , it has to undergo rigorous academic scrutiny.

Well that didn't happen, hopefully we will give an update on this story as we continue to seek redress, because if u read properly the talk of another surgery only came a year later and not with the same hospital, when her system was completely upside down.

Illiterate, there is no perfect surgeon in the world, medical mistakes are a reality which should serve as a means to correct shortcomings and improve clinical practice .That is why I have vowed never to raise a finger outside my normal duty demands, or give free consultations or treatments to people who aren't my relatives. The average Nigerian is a spiteful, hateful cunt like you who does not deserve a single drop of empathy. You want world class treatment, pay 50k for consultation they will say it is too much na, are you resurrecting the dead? fucking ingrate

funmisticqueen:
stop being ignorant. i am not saying this is not the doctors fault. it is a very costly mistake. [b]The person you quoted has a point when she said the theatre nurse should assist the doctor. during every surgical procedure, [/b]the theatre/ scrub nurse is supposed to taken inventory of everything used for the surgery, e.g the number of every artery forceps and most especially the number of every abdo pack and gauze used. this is done to prevent situations like this and also to avoid misplacing instruments. if the theatre nurse counted it correctly she would hqve noticed an abdo pack was missing and this would never have happened. So yes the doctor shouldnt have left it inside, but remember it is easy to forget when saving one's life. So everyone should try and do their jobs as efficiently as they can. But thank God she survived this ordeal. We should all be careful
