Heldworld, next time try get the name of the doctor. Public servants often misbehave and power drunk, because they haven't been exposed yet. With the SM power in your own hand, you didn't use it well. You could have snapped his face or get his name. A nurse who attended to me anyhow during a night shift because I was disturbing her sleep, in a private hospital I'm registered to got sacked when I discreetly recorded her and sent it to their Medical Director's WhatsApp. Next time put on the video on your phone and put it in your chest pocket.

Hueyreckless0007: Did it ever occur to you that the doctors were ‘nowhere to be found’ because they were either in the theater carrying out a surgery, attending to other patients or sleeping off after working all night? You people that should know what doctors are going through are the ones propagating these stories that demonize them. Shame 2 Likes |

That hospital is useless. Better to go to a better one and get treated. When I lived in Ibadan and my wife was pregnant with our first child, I asked her to go to a private hospital. She was adamant and scared that private hospitals were busy slicing people open in CS operations for monetary gains. She preferred a general hospital. No wahala. When it was time we went there, the norm is this, if you come in to give birth and within a few hours you haven't increased in cm, they will induce you sharply. The matrons said they wanted to do kpa kpa kpa as they called it. One female doctor there, kept telling the matrons to leave my wife that she will give birth by herself, but they wanted to induce her regardless. A woman they induced struggled and struggled until she put to bed, the child was weak, they had to refer them to UCH. When the doctor was about to leave, she knew they would go ahead in her absence she collected my number and called to come take my wife home, she told me in private what was going on, I had no choice than to comply. Before we could return the next morning, my wife went into serious labor at home, I had no choice than to ask her to push, I helped as much as I could, applying coconut oil, encouraging her until my son was born right there in my living room. Na so I take turn emergency doctor, my driver ran to call a matron nearby who removed the placenta, bathed the baby and my wife and we paid her before leaving for the hospital to have them checked up. That hospital for Apata na war, some are quite rude, there's a woman who drives Lexus and attends to women during antenatal, if you hear how she talks to these women you would think they were goats. All the times I sat outside and heard her demean these women and shouted at them, I would just get up when I couldn't bear it. Op go better hospital leave those people. 4 Likes |

Blood test is 1,500. Yet you have to buy needle and gloves. How much is needle and gloves? General hospitals can make a sick person collapse. Go to the pharmacy, go and pay here, go and buy drip, etc. That's why people would rather pay for the comfort and service in a private hospital.

oluwasegun007:\ Most Nigerian Hospitals are rubbish, i travelled back to Niger recently to look after my Dad who was admitted to Babcock hospital Ilishan. Worst decision ever. This is the worst hospital i have come across in my life. Not sure who gave such a place license to practice. it should be revoked with immediate effect. No Standard operating procedures, filthy wards infested with ants, very rude nurses, no compassion and can't be bothered, lack experience, doctors are no better, all very young school leavers with few years of practice, in most cases, they have no idea what to do. Not sure i say any doctor or consultant that is over 45 years. Most are in their early 30's. some just graduated from Babcock University. (You dont need to be intelligent to study Medicine at Babcock uni, Once you dad can pay for it, thats it....you'll be a doctor in a few years time- what a joke). Expensive tablets were either going missing from under the nurses care or not being administered on time. Wrong doses given, sometimes i have to correct the nurses and inform them that some medication have been stopped by the doctors , its like they dont read the doctors note before administering drugs, wrong combination, wrong doses, and sometimes nothing is even administered but on record they will lie that they have administered the drug. This happened a couple of times when i just bought some new drugs and had it with me but the nurses will lie and say they have already given the drug while it is still with me.In some cases, the drug has finished and you know it has but they will tick it off the chart that they have administered the drug...Sometimes, patients who should have had breakfast 8am dont even eat till 10am or sometimes 11am. (my dad was being fed through a tube and you will struggle to find a nurse to come and feed him. When nurses hand over from one shift to another, the whole medical ward comes to a stand still, this takes about 2 hours of paper work being done and during that time no patient is being attended to in the ward. It was a struggle to get ordinary bedsheet to be changed once you have had one, its like patient are only entitled to one bedsheet a day and once it gets stained with blood or soiled, you can wait half a day to get a replacement thats if you do get one at all. Its all about money, pay , pay pay and keep paying till you drop dead. I have never seen anyone being given the amount of drip my dad had, drip, drip, drip and drip.....its like, we will keep you alive but you are not getting better. Syringes are reused, even though it clearly says do not reuse, medical devices are passed from patient to patient and they just use a tissue to wipe it before using for another patient, no alcohol to sterilise it...I had to argue everyday there just to get some approved standard , even when the old man was being bath/wiped as he was bed ridden, there are no screens to cover, the whole ward just had two screens, windows to the ward are broken and when it rains or gets a bit cold in the night, the patients get cold, the toilets stink. I look back at those two months my Dad spent there and it looks like i failed the old man, i should have gone with my instinct and remove the old boy. He eventually passed a couple of months ago and i'm not sure i can forgive myself. The two months i spent in that ward, i saw 8 patient die....Babcock is not a hospital....It is just one of the killing fields we have in Nigeria. The whole country needs a reset. 2 Likes |

shiwex: It is just an imitation of my own at the hands of Doctors and Nurses at a big private hospital at Idi Ape Road in Ibadan for treatments for spinal cord injury sometimes in 2015. I spent close to 3 months there, and saw hell both for me and for all others patients I met there. The Doctors there are mostly young chaps who have just graduated and have little experience, while the Nurses just do not give a damn. You have no money, or delay payment no treatment, you die, they pack you up to mortuary. Many died, daily wailing by relatives. My wife became a Google Doctor herself to treat my bed sores, and my privately appointed physiotherapist have to teach them how to treat urinary infection when I was almost dead. They billed me more than N5m, no result, my broken neck was not operated on, or operated by a sakamaje doctor and left to await death. God eventually intervened, and I was transferred to an hospital in India (Fortis), where I was quickly and successfully operated on, even while they were still awaiting full receipt of my treatment cost. Spent 6 months there for physiotherapy with relatively minor cost. And now I am now getting back upon my feet. Nigerian hospitals and theatres are MOSTLY slaughter centres, it is all about the MONEY. The personnel working there have no respect for the sanctity of LIFE. 2 Likes |

pocohantas: My mum's test result vamoose all of a sudden because I didn't pay "egunje". As soon as I heard that the director just arrived, I rushed to his office upstairs to report, but the lab technicians intercepted me, prostrated and assured me that my mum's result has been found. The drama in Randle that day wasn't funny at all. That was when other patients began to voice out on how they were made to undergo a repeat test of the same test they had already done for same reason they gave me. Since that incidence, I never stepped foot in Randle again. Dear Poco, they didn't succeed in exhorting from me that day because I was determined to pull them down, if that's what was required. Thank you. |
