No body wants to be his brother keeper at this time. Imagine health workers like this doing the unthinkable.
Those Egyptians fvck up. They should have ran towards them screaming help us like zombies and force themselves on the hospital beds. Those nurses that told them to go to IDH will be forced to call IDH emergency lines.

It's your choice to misconstrue or misinterpret simple explanations...

But, let me reiterate for your benefit and that of others... You can't and don't fight battles from a position of disadvantage.

Trained firefighters across the universe are taught one very basic and important survival lesson or maxim: Safeguard yourself first before moving to safeguard others!!! This applies to the medical and nursing profession... You don't jump into fire unprotected just to prove a point of empathy...

It would be very foolhardy and stupid for a trained medical staff to treat a contagiously infected individual without proper fullproof protective gear... Most hospitals in Nigeria today are not equipped to handle this pandemic... How hard can this be for y'all to process??!

The zoo doctors and nurses running away from patients they paid to protect, what a country, covik country covik president and covik people

larryking540:


I still don't get it ,why are so much wealth men and women having this infections?

Is that they all took a particular med while they went abroad for their medical check up ,

kikero:


Am a health care worker.

If I find myself behaving the way those health care workers behaved....I'll go home, burn my certificates, and resign from my job..because I am not fit to be a health care worker.

uruba23:

May i remind you of your oath.You should be happy Coro is coming to the rescue...Now government would be force to invest in the health sector.

Over 50 years ago, patients came into a certian mission hospital with fever, vomitting of blood and weakness....and the mission doctors and nurses treated them, no PPE, nothing. Two nurses, and eventually the doctor died.

The doctor's name was Dr Jeanette . M . Troup. You may not know her, but she helped treat and wrote the first case notes on what was a new disease...Lassa fever., and who died after catching the illness

(For more info see here)

I understand what you are saying here. In medicine, if we are not equipped, we refer. But I cannot in good conscience condone what these doctors and nurses did...and yes, I am a doctor myself.

If a corona virus patient comes , and I don't have the PPE...I will do my best , wear a mask, and some gowns (even if it means improvising with a thrash bag and gloves, as some of my fellow docs in the US have done)...and treat him.

We cannot run away from patients because we are scared.

And yes, it is sad that this government has not equipped hospitals, and keeps on making promises that it cannot keep. But sick patients don't wait for promises...they want help...and it is still our job to give them help.

Just as Dr Adaevoh did.

Angelfrost:


Honestly, it won't cost them anything to equip every major hospital within a day and a half...

So, why have they not done this at this time??! Simple answer: Cos they don't care about you and your loved ones... They don't care about the millions of people who voted them in.

This nation is done and dusted sir!!!... A nation in the midst of such crisis, yet not even ordinary face masks were made compulsorily available to at least half of the citizens... Do you think it would cost them anything to procure these things nationwide??! Nah.... They just don't care!!!

So running and shouting like an illiterate is professional behaviour to you.

You have Suicide tendency

That hospital should be called out and closed up with immediate effect. My mom was right when she told me last night that she fears doctors and nurses fleeing when the numbers increases in Nigeria because Nigerians lack good working attitude.
Imagine ‘This is Coronavirus! Coronavirus is not my portion!’ Whose portion is it Mtchewwwwww

And if you had a contagious illness and you came to me for treatment, you would clap for me if I and my colleagues run away from you and refuse to treat you because of your contagious illness.

That we know so much about certain illnesses and their treatment is because medical people were willing to take the risk and treat people with some contagious illnesses.

When I became a doctor, I knew I was already dead. How it will happen is up to God. But I am not going to run away from any sick patient that it is within my capability to offer some help, and if I can't(or overruled by my superiors) I refer.

LimAnc:
Many of you are online ranting on how unprofessional those medical personal reacted but what you don't understand is that the hazard allowance of a Nigerian Dr. is between 5,000-10,000.. Infact if you get infected the system abandons you to your faith. If I was in there shoe. Na Ghost Mode oath or no oath..

YoungBlackRico:
So their first and only response is to be shouting "God forbid, Coronavirus is not my portion, security come and send them away"? Even if you won't let them disembark, why not turn them back(refer them to the right place) in a sensible and professional manner? Not surprised at y'all responses, it's how you guys act in your various places of work...it's in the blood. This is Nigeria...bunch of unprofessional idiots.

Olodo24:
Are they not health workers? They're supposed to be brave. If every other health workers act like them, we are finished.

Jelzin2412:


Well said except when you referred them as Idiots...lol.

My disappointment is not that they couldn't manage the patient cos obviously they are ill equipped for it but their level of unprofessionalism and defective knowledge of COVID-19 was very shameful and abhorrent. How on earth could they have treated a sick person like that And before anyone quote me; I'm a healthcare personnel too and that's very unprofessional of them...

Fragility6:

Madam have you seen the equipments dey are working with? Why won't dey run. Can u work in a factory wit no proper safety procedures? Attimes lets be sincere with ourselves in judgement not talking with emotions...

PS: They didn't sign to offer thier lives as sacrificial lambs. In a sane society, proper working equipments are given to thier health workers not the opposite we ses in Nigeria.

My dear,its not always about poor working attitude

kikero:


See my answer up thread.

And no, I don't intend to leave this plane just yet...but in a way, death comes to all of us.

Anyway, if you have a contagious illness and you come to me, I will put you on drip, add antibiotics, and make sure you get better. It's my job. It's what I signed up for.

Plus, there are even worse contagions than coronavirus. Ebola , HIV etc is worse.

This is what you get when you pay 5k as hazard allowance.

ChybuzzDD:


That's how most of you talk stupidly without having the basic information.
Why not first ask if they have PPE in that hospital? I hope you know what PPE is?
Without it, no one has any business attending to a suspected case of Covid-19.
Most general hospitals in Nigeria don't even have hand gloves, let alone PPEs.
Your guys are ignorantly focusing on the health workers who are given nothing to work with, instead of on the government which has failed to equip the hospitals.
