Exactly.

Your profession comes before sentiment. So if you can do a referral or escalate it to the appropriate person, do so.

Please do not carry his matter for your head and then chop disciplinary action for misconduct for speaking beyond the purpose of your appointment.

Not sure what your management or patient is like, but in my opinion, don’t be sentimental in your office.



You just put cherry Ontop the icing.

Thanks.

I am American and once again I say " You don't know anything about America". You said no one ropes you into anything unless there's something you are hiding which is absolutely bullcrap. You see, in the US there is an action/crime called RAILROADING when the law does exactly what you said, rope innocent people into something that they didn't do or knew anything about, this has been going on for centuries and continues to happen everyday.

Everyone serving time in prisons are not guilty and are there because of RAILROADING. If you like I can give you some cases of RAILROADING. The US justice system was designed and created to justly serve Caucasians and criminalize others. The protesting that is going on today is because people are sick and tired of the injustice. A lot of people believe the system is broken and needs to be fixed but in reality the system isn't broken it is working just the way it was designed to do.

The system (The US Constitution) needs to be rewritten, starting with the 13th amendment which still supports slavery under certain conditions which explains the mass incarceration of black people. The amendment clause that proclaims black people (meaning YOU) as only 3/5th human (that's why whites won't have a problem with blowing your head off because they don't see you as full human) needs to be abolished as well.

Sorry about my mini thesis but this was a teaching moment. smiley

Bullshit! No law is ever designed to rope innocent people into crimes they did not commit. Be an American or not....This is a kind of paranoia mentality..

I said Americans are RAILROADED into crimes they didn't commit by crooked lawyers, police officers, and judges and it's an criminal offense, nowhere did I say the law was designed to do such a thing, what I said is the laws/system(The US Constitution) was written for the protection of no other people but Caucasian people and not for other Americans that's why it has to be changed to protect ALL Americans.

Rather you choose to believe it or not, Amerikkka.is.a.country that.was founded on torture, murder, greed, thievery, hatred, injustice and not very much has changed today. You are brainwashed about Amerikkka but if you study her history and present day you will open your eyes.

I think I will. I even asked him if it was Ebola but he said it wasn't and mentioned West Nile virus. Me I don't know if West Nile virus occured in Nigeria earlier this year so I just kept mute and decided to find out.

The guy is so much in love and part of me feels that this will break his heart and lead him to do something drastic. It's so troubling to me and a part of me just wants to waka far and act like it's not my business but another part is burning with anger at the scammers

Tell him, Bro. He will forever appreciate you. Even though a Nigerian is scamming him, your intervention can save him from further doling out money to an imaginary girlfriend.

I'm a Medic, and I'm in Nigeria. Apart from Lassa fever that peaked end of last year/early this year (December 2019- January/February 2020), nothing again. The death toll wasn't even that bad.

The West Nile virus story the "girlfriend" brought up was absolutely FAKE

The truth is that if there's truly a Nigerian lady ( i.e not a yahoo guy) then you need to see things from the perspective of this lady. Yes she might have lied (we ain't 100% sure that all she have told him are lies), but she might also be willing and ready to meet up with this your patient and even marry him at the end. Nigeria is really messed up economically and people here are struggling.
Let me just tell you this.
I'm in a similar situation also and the only difference is that I am a guy. I met this African American lady online sometime in February and we got acquainted pretty fast. Fast forward to today, she's really been helpful to me in financially and by extension, people close to me. In fact, I have been able to pay for tech skill and got certified all because of her. Yes I do lie to her sometimes ( infact most times) in order to get some dollars, but I really appreciate and I have feelings for her and I hope to meet her in person one day. So please consider the lady.

I have a question... Are you a lady or a man? Just curious oo

Even if she were a lady, are you justifying her ripping off the American of over $4,000 simply because she has some financial problems?

So I have this American patient who I recently came across. He's a fat dude who is like in his late 40s but has a very jolly and likeable character. I introduced myself and we got talking afterwards.

After a while of chitchat, he asked me where I was from. I told him to take a guess and he said said, you sound like you're Nigerian. I told him (regrettably) that I was Nigerian. He started smiling and told me that he had a Nigerian girlfriend and that we both had similar accents.

He then started telling me recent occurrences that had befallen his girlfriend in Nigeria. He said the lastest story was that she was in Abuja and as she was on her way to the airport in a taxi, the taxi had an accident and she was seriously injured and had to be rushed to the hospital. He said that the hospital demanded money before treatment started and he had to hustle about $4000 and send to her in order for treatment to start.

He said that after a week of her being in the hospital, they wanted to discharge her despite her still being in pain. Because she had exhausted all the $4000 on treatment, he said the hospital had threatened to discharge her on the streets and he was trying to borrow more money to see if he could send it to her so they could continue with her treatments.

He furthermore told me that the girlfriend said that she was a Nigerian American citizen who was currently stuck in Nigeria due to her passport having expired and also due to Covid lockdown at airports in Nigeria. He said she had asked him for $300 to renew her US passport from American embassy in Nigeria.

Another thing that he told me was that just before covid struck, there was a similar pandemic which happened in Nigeria early this year and that his girlfriend had contracted the disease and he had to send her $2000 for treatment. Right now he said he's broke but is waiting for like $2000 disability check from the US government next week which he will send to her as soon as the money clears.

As he was telling me this tale, I was so angry with Nigerians and how they take advantage of people in love to scam them. I wanted to swear for the scammers angry


I'm at a dilemma here. Do I tell him that he's being scammed by Nigerians or do I continue to be professional and just ignore it. Because I don't want him to think I'm involved with it because these oyinbo people can turn everything on your head and accuse you that is your people in conjunction with you that are scamming him. They are that crazy.

The good part of me wants to help him but I'm hesitant that it may turn out bad for me. Please matured responses.

I think you should mind your business in this case so you don't get into trouble

U need to tell him bruh,those Yahoo boys are also diabolical .they mostly uses charms to do those things which u think is natural and ordinary with white people. I know many of them like that.so don't allow the same charm to work on you. So u need to be very fast and tell him.God mandated u and positioned you for him to save him.

Those charms are ineffective!

The main ingredient is greed and foolishness on the part of the victim

Can you report to the police. The issue is that they get to eventually block genuine people chances of any relationship in marriage or business with them.
