This is so painful. Vibrant young man. He didn't know he won't see 2019. Let's be careful this period biko. And as for those doctors who had the opportunity to save him but were more interested in money, God will judge them. As for the robbers, may they die a slow and painful death.

So, where will hospitals get the money to pay for materials to treat patients?

Do you know how many hospitals have been left hanging by patients who don't pay bills?

Eventually, quality of servie falls because of debts owed...and you people will still complain.

Yes, doctors are bad...but the system isn't fair either.

A man has passed away after he was allegedly neglected by a hospital after was stabbed by hoodlums in Port-Harcourt, Rivers state capital.

According to reports, the deceased simply identified as Progress Dennis was returning from his church (House On The Rock) after end of year Thanksgiving service, when he was stabbed by hoodlums after refusal to hand over his phone to them.

It was gathered that the man was rushed to a nearby hospital where the doctors requested that a deposit of N25,000 should be paid before the man will be admitted and taken care of.

According to reports, few minutes later, N30,000 was transferred to the hospital account and the doctors allegedly said they didn't receive any alert. While waiting for the alert the young man gave up the ghost.

The deceased was laid to rest on Tuesday, December 18 (today) at his hometown in Usokun, Degema Local Government Area in Rivers State.

Nigerian hospitals can never save a soul. It's always money, money and money. They even know nothing about first aid and emergency

Yes, so we should treat EVERYONE for free.....and at the end of the day, when quality of care suffers and private hospitals are forced to close because you know....no money anymore....

And who tald you we never save ANY soul?

Sigh.

NIGERIAN DOCTORS ,POLICE AND SOLDIERS ARE THE ONES I HATE THE MOST IN ALL PROFESSIONS IN THIS COUNTRY. AS DOCTORS BEING TOP ON THE LIST.




met a female doctor in a bus sometime in NNEWI, we were going on well with communication until she said she is a doctor. I just told her straight that I hate them, she asked why, I gave a small insight of my little experience and even where she works ( teaching hospital), never knew others were listening to our conversation, the moment she tried to defend the profession , everyone in the bus started dropping their own experiences.

she became so embarrassed and at some admitted that is was NIGERIAN FACTOR.


she suggested that we become friends to prove me wrong that they aint bad.

All I will say to this is...

When hospitals have been left hanging after patients have not paid their bills, and flee...leading to hospital not being able to meet its financial obligaitons, which affects service to patients who do pay their bills....

Heartlessness is in order.

Sorry, but for once, try to see things from the other side. Hospitals need money to pay for stuff. Sometimes, it comes from the salaries of medical staff paying for 'indigent patients'.
I think most people will understand your point. But in this case, a sensible person would have struck a balance and commenced treatment since a transfer had purported to be done in their presence and we all know alerts sometimes delay. Even illiterate traders sometimes part with their wares without having seen "alert".

I know...

But I have worked in hospitals where doctors start treatment without payment...and then the patient absconds, and the hospital is left holding the debt.

And at the end of the day, it is choice between being heartless...or staying financially solvent to pay the bills,salaries,maintain standards.

The problem with Nigerians is that they want free stuff. Well....the thing is, there is no free stuff. Money has to be paid.Somehow.

Maybe we need a National Health Service,like the UK. Until the bill comes in....

Fvck this country.. What nonsense. Many death could av been avoided in this country..

Any ways, if u are interested in learning how to earn money online, kindly check out my profile and read my thread on how I make money online.

Freelancing is growing all over the world. It remains one of the best ways to earn side or full time income. To do well as a freelancer, u must learn competitive skill, learn to brand your self, package your brand and send out compelling proposals..
Well, I can teach u all these if u are interested.. Check my profile and read my thread on freelancing..

As a Medic, I went to buy More Expensive Branded Pain killers for My Mum from a pharmacy.

I paid about 4 times the Price of the Unbranded Painkiller for the Branded Painkiller...... GUESS WHAT THE PHARMACY DID NOT COLLECT ONE KOBO LESS FROM THE MONEY. AND I PAID IN FULL BEFORE I WAS GIVEN THE DRUGS TO GO WITH

IF THE GOVERNMENT HAD FUNCTIONAL FREE EMERGENCY STABILISATION CLINICS WITHIN EVERY ONE KILOMETER, THE GUY WOULD HAVE BEEN RUSHED THERE AND HIS CHANCES OF SURVIVAL WOULD HAVE BEEN HIGHER

IN THE UK, GOVERNMENT EMERGENCY SERVICES WOULD HAVE BEEN CALLED TO COME AND PICK HIM UP WITH GOVERNMENT AMBULANCE AND PROPER STAFF AND TO TAKE HIM TO AN EMERGENCY INTENSIVE CARE UNIT IN A STANDARD GOVERNMENT HOSPITAL.


SO. BLAME THE GOVERNMENT, THE STAB INJURY WOULD HAVE EVEN REQUIRED AN EMERGENCY CARE UNIT

just listen to your self.



let me ask u 1st. if you are a doctor.

why are u a doctor?

what was your aim?

some professions are never about money, just plain humanity and being a doctor is one of them. because they are meant ti save lives. but here in Nigeria, it is an avenue to enrich themselves.
Otherwise tell me why a doctor with a govt owned hospital should be operating a private one at the same time.




there is a difference between humanity and intelligence.

would have been a doctor too, mum and dad wanted me to, after 2 years, I wrote another and read statistics, not because I loved it but because I had to be a graduate as the society demands. I graduated, worked in a bank for sometime and den resigned to join businesses line.



I also know another who after reading medicine is a practicing lawyer.

This is one of the reasons why we need our representatives, the people that represent this young Man suppose to take this matter up, to make sure that the hospital is closed and medical practitioners there be jailed. In fact all the medical practitioners involved supposed to sentence to life imprisonment. RIP my brother.

If Nigeria isn't a sh!thole country, that doctor should be banned for life from practicing medicine. The first rule of medicine is DO NO HARM.

do not blame doctors. it is bad hospital policy that you must pay before services are rendered. that is what government at all levels must address.

I am a doctor.

I have worked in several hospitals over the years,including one hospital which had financial issues because people won't pay their bills,another hospital where patient left with a debt running into thousands of naira that up till today has not been paid, and so on

I have, and no I am not boasting...paid for patients out of my salary. Of course, i don;t do that...it impacted on my pocket seriously.

I also don't wait foralert before treating patients.

But the thing is, if patients don't pay on time, hospitals won't be able to function well enough, retain staff, and keep facilities up properly.And when standards fall, patients get hurt.

So, sorry, but there is another side to this story. The funding side.

(And yes, this also happens in developed countries. One homeless man in the USA used to get free treatment in a US hospital's emergency room. Then they stopped...because doing such..treating poor people like him.... left the hospital with a debt of $250million).

Health is not cheap.
