WW I and WW II were caused by white men and had over 200 million casualties
The nuclear bombardment of Hiroshima and nagasaki had over 100,000 casualties and was caused by the white men
The church crusade which had over a million people burnt or brutally murdered was caused by the white folks
The enslavement, murder and rape of our ancestor was caused by white folks

all i am trying to say is that compared to other races, black people are actually more compassionate and kind.
The fact that most African countries has been caused with bad leaders does not mean the people are not great!!

My brother, free yourself from mental slavery and realize that skin colour does not determine the character of anybody.
You are already biased towards blacks but if you remove your bias, you will see that other races do even worse things than blacks!!

I understand their reasons for demanding payment or deposit before treating a patient but if I was the one, I would treat the patient regardless of the fact that money wasn't paid because I can't watch a patient die when I can be able to treat him, it's hard though but saving a life is worth it.

Vickygarl:

What about when the hospital has exhausted the supplies meant for such cases?

thesicilian:

In other countries, a large part of patients bills are taken care of with health insurance put in place by a responsible government. You people should always do your research before opening your mouth in public.

A hospital dat exhausts its supplies and waiting for a patient to pay them them to get supplies has a problem unless it's just a coincidence then anyone capable takes initiative and even tho I know how health care system is poor we can create our own good standards.

Not everybody that in such emergency situations wants to abscond after treatment sm are capable of paying and sm pay not have then its left for hospital management to decide b4 treatment goes far.

Stabilise wetin. ..is it free?

It does if you have Health Insurance. Do you have Health Insurance? How many people have Health insurance in Nigeria?

Vickygarl:

Good point. But while your suggestion will work well in a private hospital, it might not work as well in government hospitals. In the later, hospital supplies are being procured by a particular department and if there's no money for that, the procurement won't take place.

jaxxy:


Free or not a doctor must do that. It shud be a crime not to do so in a life/death situation. Not everybody wants to default/abscond after treatment. The police can also be involved for suspicious cases. Any doctor dats not ready to save lives ahud go home or better yet look for another profession he's passionate about. Like doctor sid.

Are you not paid salary ? Come on, go and use your salary and buy it at the nearest pharmacy near you.
If your salary is exhausted, can't you take loan from a bank to help strangers for such emergencies?
Your reward is in heaven.
Meanwhile, the governors, local govt chairmen, house of reps and assembly members, the cabinet of the presidency can keep on with sharing the common wealth amongst themselves. We will keep on supporting them because we belong to same political party, or because they are our kinsmen.
Nothing do you aunty nurse, you must save lives by fire by force

When you see something such as these you just cringe with fear.
Nigerians are no different from their leaders, there is hardly any difference.
I personally hate owing people no matter what.
Even if my wife(s) have some other need for money while I am in debt I would rather settle that debt than make her happy while somebody is breathing down my neck.
Debt is so bad that it ruins good will and relationships.
People should learn to pay up what they owe because everyone has got a family to feed.
How would it feel if somebody who is owing you some money you suddenly see that same person buying some material things more than what he/she is owing you.
To God, the sight can really be psychologically devastating.
We should learn to pay people what we owe them.

Both my parents were medical practitioners. I know the govt system bt in emergency situations theres room to take initiative u can just be looking and staring like a novice its not professional.

QualityHealthCa:


No we will go home and read for PLABs and jettison Nigeria for you to enable you get a "passionate" Dr like Dr Sid

But definitely not our hard earned licence...it might mean nothing to your ilk herr in this shithole, but it's worth far more in serious minded nations.

Cheers!

health insurance exists but how many can afford it?how many hospitals in Nigeria are well equipped and trained to accept or deny health insurance card or documents. Wtf.most of these hospitals are just equipped with drugs and auxiliary nurses and doctors who don't have standard access. And Oga, pls I hope u are on health insurance, ba?

jaxxy:


Both my parents were practitioners in the govt federal and state. I understand u very well. I didn't study same cos i didn't hv the passion or heart to do wat doctors do bt i have alot of respect for them. The professional ones. They deserve accolades.

How does the doctor save a px life when they have not bought materials and paid for workmanship used to treat


Do you think doctors walk around with normal saline, 24G cannulas and chest tubes?


Do you think the doctor manufactures all these cannulas?


You will still go to the pharmacy and pay to procure items used for stabilization.


Perhaps we doctors should add our consultation charges to the cost of procuring items.

dominique:
Hospitals are run with money not goodwill. They have bills staff salaries to pay, supplies are bought with money too. Most of us don't have health insurance yet we expect hospitals to treat us first before collecting money. We're seriously not serious in this country.

Quite the moral thing to do, but imagine a situation where you are saving lives and paying out of your salary and struggling with fees and family responsibilities while the life you saved moves on and never comes back with as much as here is part of the bill meanwhile d deductions are hitting ur account on a steady. Imagine having 3 of those cases what would your response be
