They killed my father few months ago, we rushed him to the hospital they said no deposit no treatment, at around 1am in the morning with no atm card.

And yes, it's a private hospital.


Nigeria has failed a lot of people, don't blame people wanting to run away, nothing works in this country

RIP dad

Oga keep quiet, no dey talk rubbish wey you no Sabi?!

I didn't mean to be rude to you but you have decided to be obnoxious!

USMLE hard, e hard, but I get guys wey dey 98 percentile for the exam.

Which re-training you dey talk abeg?!
Or is it the tutorial before exams? What is in the bloody tutorial?
A refresher before the clinical exams?

That asides other things are involved before you get matched... No dey yarn dust bros!

You Sabi how many Nigerians Doctors dey US?

Abeg.

Doktajay5:


Sorry about your loss bro.

But I have this to tell you.
They didn't kill your father. U should take responsibility for your carelessness. I want to believe u don't know how much loss that hospital have incured on that sentiment of "Dr we will pay in the morning" and next is that the patient have absconded and the MDs eventually make these health workers pay with their small salary.

I mean how long shall health workers continue to pay the bills of absconded patient, while u still expect them to listen to ur cock and bull story.

Why didn't u take money, or your Atm for POS, or even offer to drop any valuable on you.

Oga u didn't try. Just don't blame those workers there.. They don't owe u a duty of treating you free. People have abuse that opportunity severally. See attached pictures..

Health care is money globally.
And this one is a private hospital. Is not as if anybody will look ur face in government hospital neither will u even have anymore ones attention there to tell ur story. Is either u pay and get value or u run losses bro. U just did. Sorry about it.

They actually didn't kill your father, ur nonchalance did.

Epele.

lefulefu:
the exam is not an exam u just drink beer and smoke weed to go an write.u have to prepare very well for it and solve past questions and know everything in an out for you to pass it.with your noisy and angry character wey u dey exhibit here how u think say u wan take write the exam.anyway when u don comot for naija u will mellow and cool down.

HBB1:


Have you heard before that exams are not a true test of knowledge?

Every exam has a format... A password.

If you like Sabi all the book, if you don't use the right things to prepare, you will fail.

I have never failed an exam before in my life-- local or foreign!

Even rocket science get format

I know people who are practising in the US, if you believe or not, na your pocket e dey-- no be everybody be taxi driver!

Calm Dan Oga!

ok i don hear you.everybody is an Einstein and a billioniare on nairaland..i be forget

Respect55:
I was operated on around 2009,24th of December to be precise. While on the process, this doctor paused to receive calls not less than three times of more than 10 minutes each. I was mad but was instructed not to talk else I die. Why would a doctor even take a phone to the theatre?

That being said, they are still those who respect their profession but not this one that operated on me.

HBB1:


Every doctor there goes through Residency-- you understand Residency is work right?

You are working!

If you pass your USMLE and your get matched, why will you spend 6 years again?

InvertedHammer:

Comprehension may not be your forte.

1-2 years to prepare for your exams and understand the culture. If you are highly intelligent, you may pass Step I and 2.
If you are lucky to get placement/matched in residency immediately(rarely happens), then the minimum duration for residency is 3 years.
As a resident, you are merely making minimum wage even on long and excruciating long hours. You are not independent.

There is no way you will spend less than 6 years coming from Nigeria to practice in USA. Don't forget that you are a student
doctor as a resident and may still be kicked out.

thesmallgod:
Around 2016, I had a skin condition and decided to go to a teaching hospital in Ogbomoso. When it was my turn to see the doctor, I met some group of doctors and some college students (they were doctors too but still undergoing training as they all sat and observing the senior doctors). After series of questions I was asked to UnCloth that they will like to see my lower limbs. Everybody including the students started looking me and observing my reaction. That day, I felt so bad because I thought they were just using me as an object of expression without seeking my consent.

The thread would have been more interesting if it were
‘ Share your experience with Nigerian NURSES’

But still

1 .while serving in lokoja , A female doctor was giving me injections and receiving call , left the injection in my ass to be replying chats

You just spoke my mind. I have been having stomach problems for the past 15 years now. None of them seems to know what's wrong with me... They keep treating typhoid fever because test results shows typhoid. Some of them are even saying is psychological. I met one long time ago and he gave up on me.

I just wanna travel out for a better treatment. I will save up for that.

monerozi5590:



Good afternoon. How are you feeling now?... Please any advice for me?

shege45:
its like we are on same boat. I have been having stomach issues for over 3years. They all treat typhoid. Some people say make i reach LUTH, the doctor there said its in my head and wanted to refer me to the psychlogy department. I just smile, I just tell myself say i no go again till I comot country.

HBB1:


A resident makes minimum wage?

Shows you know nothing dude!

...and a resident is not practicing in your books?
A Resident a student doctor ?( do you know how ridiculous that sounds)

So you write step 1 in Ghana, 2 in the US-- are you going to sit down there?

Don't people write the exams and come back home?
You think they pack their bags to go write step 1 and 2 and sit down there?

What are you saying dude?!

You know there are thousands of Nigerian Doctors in the US right?
... and I mean Nigerians working as Doctors!

DrFD:


You go to pharmacist, they keep treating you symptomatically.
You are happy the symptoms are suppressed. You get unlucky to come down with the complication of the real cause of the the symptoms
Then you are asked to see a doctor to perform magic on a disease you already thwarted the classical presentation.
Doctor battles with linking your atypical presentation to a diagnosis...it becomes trial and error.
In the process, time is wasted, and a damage ensues which again doctor tries to at least minimize....to you, bad doctor S/he is.
Please keep consulting the pharmacists, you reduce the workload for guys in the hospital. But when need arise to see a doc, please take full responsibility.

lebete3000:


For you to still be asking this question shows you've not learnt anything about Nigerians.

Your question is just like asking why the Devil is wicked. Are you a learner?

The average Nigerian hates the prosperity of another and doesn't believe he can make it without pulling down someone else.

Is that the kinda person you want to reform? Keep wasting your time oh, the only way Nigerians can learn is through suffering, that's why they respect anyone with a rifle than with words of wisdom...

Drsmiles:
Don’t worry They really rotten That’s why other countries are harvesting them and they’re doing well Soon you won’t have them to misdiagnose you again Then you’d understand what a proper hospital bill costs

passion007:


My dear, your post is very ignorant if I'm honest.

It can convince other ignorant nigerians who are too reluctant to ask pertinent questions, but not any one with a rational mind.

Theres nothing like a pulse checking machine to confirm death. Death is the absence of life and human beings have been good at that for decades. Now you tell me someone had no signs of life for three days and received one American wonder drug and popped right back to life.

Seriously?

AlphaT1:

Always contact your doctor first, but once a prescription is handed to you, head straight to the pharmacist....It is important to always ensure your prescriptions or medications are vetted by a pharmacist...

How did pharmacologist save.people just like exaggerating things to make themselves feel good.
