pocohantas: Here's where you have the poorest and most miserable people in the whole wide world. It's difficult to manage BP because one minute it's normal, next it's erratic. Somebody is unnecessarily anxious and scared bout the bill and how it will take food away from the table. Let me not even talk about lack of equipments, power supply, and village people. Somebody is rushed into the accident and emergency ward by 2 am and once stabilized in one or two hours he is thinking about going home and cant stay because staying there till daybreak na more money to pay lol Holy mary, epp us oo 3 Likes 1 Share |

helpee: This statement is though may sound boastful is actually true. Many years ago we had a whole bunch of friends, we all read together, and aspired to Study Medicine. I had a friend who missed the cut off then by just a mark, and was automatically given biochemistry, other were given courses that were less popular like zoology, and plant science, and another nursing, as port Harcourt had just started Nursing. A very lucky friend had chosen Dentistry as second choice, and got Dentistry, despite scoring lower than the dude who found himself in Biochemistry. Save the dude who studied Dentistry, that goes about telling everyone that he is a Medical Doctor rather than a Dentist, and even does telephone prescriptions more than a GP, the others are chronic Doctor haters. The Nurse is an activist now, and using most of his time tearing Doctors apart, while the others insult Doctors efforts. Funny enough all these once choose MBBS as their choice but weren't smart enough to merit it. 3 Likes |

alsudaes1: alsudaes1: Your comment implied that they love money with the way you capitalized the word "money". You can choose to deny it now but that was the impression you created and it's not far from the widespread sentiment that hospitals/doctors always ask for money...but people forget that the entire system runs on money! Take money out, and the whole system will collapse. 2 Likes 1 Share |

philip0906: I have actually spoken with Foreign Nationals, who have worked with Nigerians (Doctors) abroad, and I must say they are highly rated. One Doctor says, she has never worked with any Naija Doctor that didn't know his stuff. He might not know how some 'equipments' work ( and you know how everything is now tech based in the West), but he knows the stuff. Another (a Brit) asked a Naija guy in my presence, ' they must really train you guys well back home?' The guy asks if they didn't train her well in her obodo oyibo, then she rolls her eyes and scoffs. We joked about it later that Naija boys don kee this one with stuff. Sad thing about healthcare is people will die, it is inevitable. I laugh when people say, 'I will just travel out and see a Doctor!' I come from a family of Doctors and I know the number of people that have died due to all sorts of avoidable events in the West-- it is only the informed that will know. That said, they try to create systems (constantly) to grossly reduce such events. If it were perfect there, why do you have hundred of thousands of litigations every year in the US? Some US surgeon pays as much as 20% of their income as 'litigation' insurance. Truth is every man is a product of his system-- you can never do better than the system you are in. I spoke with a foremost British-Nigerian Surgeon and he surmised his expertise was based on equipment and exposure, nothing more. There is no Genius, one-man army anywhere, your system molds you. How many professionals here, can hold their own against professionals from the West? How many? If you can't, then you are no better! 9 Likes |

Good for the doctors. When you go to medical school after being brought up by Hollywood films, you think you are becoming a doctor to save life out of kindness and sympathy forgetting that you live in the real world not Hollywood and that human nature does not sleep or care. Hospital work is business. Medical practice is a trade. As a doctor, you get paid for your services. It is utter stupidity or, perhaps, naivety to trust human nature when it comes to money. Next time, enforce "no payment, no treatment". If you can't enforce that, don't come crying on Twitter after reaping the fruit of your unsound decision. No payment, no service; even if the patient is bleeding to death or unconscious. I might seem wicked but just wait until your hospital business is ran to the ground and your salary is deducted to cover your patient's debt just because you were playing nice. 6 Likes |

I came to a conclusion that doctors can not be appreciated on SM.. A thread was created to celebrate them, it was turned to a bashing thread.. now this one for them to share their stories with patients, it is being turned to another bashing thread. See, as a doctor just do your best and leave the rest because patients/relatives will always see the negative side (which of course there are).. But you hardly hear patients saying I presented late when there was already complications or I failed to take my drugs or I purchased cheaper alternatives of the prescription or is this investigations necessary or doctor just give me injections and I go dey alright or using herbal concoctions/healing homes to substitute after diagnosis are given.. Infact, just leave Nigeria patients.. 5 Likes 1 Share |

A doctor to 400 patient. The next patient to be seen will be complaining that the doctor is too slow or he had spent too much time on a patient and when its his/her own turn he will want to spend 4hrs with the doctor without caring for other patients waiting...or complain again that the doctor is not accommodating when he tries to make things snappy.

DrWhizy:Don't worry dear. Karma has a way of getting back to such people sooner than later. Everybody reaps what he or she sows. Who have sown good by helping in cash and in kindness to save that child at the risk of your own life and discomfort. On the other hand the man sown evil, he reap so. Just ignore and move on. I have had hundreds of such tales in my one decade of private practice especially those women they rush from maternity homes and TBA. My story can't even end today if I start it 1 Like |

philip0906: I still don't get your point. You say Nigerian doctors do misdiagnose or apply wrong treatments causing death, but do you think everyone is perfect.I would like to see you study medicine and treat everyone perfect without taking a life during your career. Another funny thing you said is that Nigerian doctors have empty nut heads. Please I'm begging you, there's no age limit in which one can be a doctor, you can enroll in a medical school and study it for yourself, thats only if you make it to the admission list. For your information, doctors spend 6 years in medical school. They begin to read Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry which are all individual courses on their own under a duration of 1 and half years, after which they write their professional exams. More than half of the class fail out, while the good ones remain. Mind you its only the best of secondary schools that get to study Medicine. Thats not the end. They keep on writing professional exams until graduation.can you do that? I'm not saying all doctors are geniuses that cant make mistakes. All I'm saying is that it's not easy, so don't come here to showcase your senselessness. 5 Likes 1 Share |
