Most of u probably haven't been to a Nigerian hospital for an emergency. Truth is they suck and d nurses even worse, Dy are mostly incompetent, infact once u walk into a hospital and see d inscription, "we care but God heals" just don't trust dos people Dy don already warn day Dy are just dia to take care of u till u die or God heals u, dia incompetence proves dis. I don't want to sound so pained but truth is most of dis doctors in Nigeria don't know what Dy are doing. PS: pay ur bills B4 leaving the hospital |

philip0906: Why are you so pained You sound so bitter You really aren't making sense with what you are saying... Yes, their aim is to save lives but excuse you... How the hell are the going to do their duties, when there are lots of ungrateful folks and no equipment for therapy due to lack of funds. Even the government owned hospitals, get no aids from the government. So we shouldn't blame buhari What has he done to make the environment conducive for this doctors and don't dare compare over seas with this shit hole called Nigeria. You should be happy sef that there are still good doctors who still knowing all this still go ahead to help when they can. Yes, I Know there are quacks but still, how many of them have you met Don't let your sentiments do the thinking for you Mr man 1 Like |

philip0906: Very easy to see that this fellow is underachieving, jealous, inadequate, low esteem individual who has gone paranoid either due to his inability to pass medical training or being found way below par in IQ to ever become a medical doctor... Maybe someone might have left his sorry arse to be with a doctor.. a wise decision by the lady in avoiding being a punching bag to this narcissistic sociopath. Medical doctors are not the cause of your deplorable low life but I can recommended sniper for you. Your death will do your family and the society at large a huge favour.

Pearl543:Like I said, my post is not directed at poor people who can't even afford basic healthcare plan. Many have comprehensive healthcare packages, are charged a fortune for healthcare by senile and foolish doctors, but end up misdiagnosed, wrong treatment proffered etc. Why do you think wealthy Nigerians, your president travel out for healthcare? You think they're foolish? If you can't perform simple diagnosis but complain about equipments, why should I take you serious? It is better Nigerian doctors shut down their death traps called hospitals if they think the government is not giving them enough support, instead of sending more innocent people to their graves. 2 Likes |

obidr:Rubbish! My post was not directed at foolish and senseless medical practitioners. Some of us, pay heavily for healthcare and do not get any value. A simple trip abroad shows you how the senseless demi gods called Nigerian doctors, you included are incompetent. This is not about lack or unavailability of equipments, but simply because they don't know their left from right. Thousands of Nigerians have lost their lives to the incompetency of your lots. Only God knows how many people you've sent to the grave. Its a different thing if we don't pay for healthcare and doctors display this level of incompetence, but paying heavily and still can't get proper medical attention, is nothing but rubbish! 2 Likes |

tstx: In 2008,I was admitted at central hospital in Benin. children's/yeenagers ward,Then few days later a small girl of about 12 was admitted ,she jst gave birth and her body was too fragile for the birth of the baby,so she had to carry a catheter to urinate etc her condition was very delicate and she was oozing......After a few days her health improved tremendously and she was able to move about.Guess what her brother came with thugs one night and removed her from d hospital by force.Before they could call police they already left with her and the baby without paying a dime. 4 Likes |

philip0906: Yeah, I agree with you that there are lots of quacks but that isn't the issue being discussed here. It's about the challenges they go through like Ingrates, lack of funds, criticism and more others. Even at their best they are being criticised. And with your analysis of the whole Nigerian doctors being quack is more like saying, all Nigerians are scammers due to over ruined reputation. And you talk of buhari traveling to other country for treatment Is that not a shame that the person who has been put in place to serve the masses at Large doesn't give a hoot about the healthcare facilities in the state he claims he governs. So the poor masses nko What should they do If this hospitals are to shut down then i guess that's where you would see their importance. Sometimes just a little courage and praise are what this doctors need. It's definitely not easy on them. They have got families too, they have needs and who no like money 4 Likes 2 Shares |

maestroferddi: I was validating a well intentioned statement by a colleague, and not belittling the effort of others. Simply, while some hate for Doctors come from sincere intention, others come from deep seated and unfounded hate. The black man, especially Nigerian, is capable of doing profound evil of which jealousy, trivializing people's effort, backbiting, cheating, and pulling down others when they weren't able to achieve what they achieved are just a tip of the iceberg. Leaving in Nigeria with Nigerians who have a Nigerian mentality, is a skill that needs tough days, nights. months and years to attain. So for even identifying as a Nigerian, I salute u despite throwing banters at me for giving an example with few friends, and how things all played out between us, forgetting I didn't mention any other person or group. Even a documentary on channels interviewing people on the street randomly a while back about Doctors showed 90% of people, most of which may not even seek hospital help, see Doctors are rich, proud, and no good fellow. Starting with rich means they don't even know who Doctors are. Cheers |

Zmkg: Do not mind that idiot with profound psychiatric issues. He should check the pass rate of Nigerian doctors when they attempt PLAB, USMLE, MCCE. He should check the numbers of Nigerian doctors holding the health system in T & T. The idiot felt I was practising in Nigeria to find a way to continue to deride doctors, not recognising that there is a massive brain drain in Nigeria and why we doctors in diaspora are still concerned is because we have relatives still in Nigeria but the certified imp will not direct his anger to the appropriate channel because he already has esteem issues. Women should be beware of his kind. |

obidr: An anomaly scan done for my wife in 2015 in Texas was 600 dollars... convert it and see if Nigerians will not burn down the hospital if in Nigeria. Her CS fee was 12,000 dollars. Without insurance most Americans will not afford health care. Nigerians pay less than 100,000 naira or there about for CS in government hospital. NHIS coverage is below 5 percent and budgetary allocation for health well below the WHO recommended percentage of 15 percent. Yet, they expect Nigerian doctors to perform magic with obsolete equipments and bureaucratic bottle necks coupled with a non understanding populace like the half baked idiot who feels he can insult Nigerian doctors. Someone who I know has a huge impediment when it comes to logical reasoning. 5 Likes 1 Share |

HBB1: I only said that you should look at both sides of the coin. In an organised country like the Uk, there are jobs, citizens work and pay tax and national insurance while a percentage of your earnings is saved for you to be accessed when you retire...In Nigeria the likes of Maina would dip their filthy hands in your life savings and flee. Those without jobs are also not overlooked. While efforts are made to secure jobs for those capable of doing it, those who for medical or reasons of disabilities are not able to work receive financial aids. How can the average Nigerian citizens afford those? People will do all sorts to stay alive. I worked in healthcare in Nigeria. I’ve seen a patient using stainless steel bed pan to eat. I made a report about it, explained to the patient what the bed pan was for, had it withdrawn. After a week in the private hospital, the patient was discharged, that same day, it was observed that the bed pan was stolen... 3 Likes |

philip0906: I've read a couple of your comments here. Really, they aren't nice. People don't really know what doctors go through. People just don't. People don't know the thousands of times doctors pay for patients' treatments, people don't know the number of times doctors work long hours (with no extra pay) just to save a life. The other day at our facility, a doctor was in the theatre operating on a patient while his brother was at the A & E dying. By the time he was done with the procedure, his brother had died. Just this year, I've donated blood twice to patients I don't know. See sir, sincerely, Nigerian doctors are working under terrible conditions and considering the unfavourable factors they are exposed to (no tech, no light, poor pay, etc), they are doing excellently well. There are bad eggs in every profession. What's your profession, sir? There are bad eggs there! Do I now generalize that people of your profession are bad? A lot of threads have been opened for Nigerians to tell tails of their experiences with doctors. Now, doctors have decided to open a similar thread to really let the world know what they go through and people still attack them. Really, this is not nice. It's not encouraging. Do you have an idea of the doctorc-patient ratio? Sir, doctors work overtime! They are stressed out. Some end up losing their families. Some sacrifice their social lives for your health. You think we don't know our onions? Why do you think Nigerian doctors do exceedingly well abroad? Let's appreciate doctors for their efforts. It is not easy, at all. Good evening. 8 Likes |

AreaFada2:This is where you guys miss the mark. Why must the obnoxious lots called politicians be your standard? Enduring change starts when people are determined to bite the bullet in insisting on doing what is right and upholding a high water mark in integrity. Yours truly is not tarring all doctors with the same brush: I had an encounter with a one-in-a-million Nigerian doctor lately, and boy! was I wowed. The thing here is that reforms are needed in the medical profession in Nigeria unlike the norm of doctors defending their colleagues even when it is obvious that they made crass, inexcusable blunders. Doctors should not be politicians by calling. It is a conflict of professionalism... 2 Likes |

Squillaci: You dont seem to understand that a doctor is a scientist, first and foremost. So many doctors go into research and their medical training gives them a more in-depth understanding of how medicines work in clinical practice. They can then go back to the lab and look at ways to combat specific problems What you are writing here is very short-sighted and ignorant. How can law be a junk profession when ethics concerning how science and technology impact our daily lives are changing every day Your precious Physicists and chemists will still need lawyers to help them patent their research and contextualise their findings in a changing world...you just dont know what youre saying at all |

[quote author=AreaFada2 post=84456122][/quote]My brother, let's leave this cyclic argument. Doctors are respected members of the society. One wouldn't be asking too much to demand that some doctors should make an effort to earn the respect. Contrary to the narrative being projected, Nigerians are not as fiendish as people make out. All people are asking is that professionals, doctors inclusive, should endeavour to conduct themselves as responsible humans. Central to the illumination that education brings should be respect to human dignity. This is sorely missing today. 1 Like |
