What about all those kiosks and patent stores run by Semi-literates and abokis?
We patronize them and nothing happens.

Civilization is great but an abuse of it is disastrous.
Literates have caused More disasters in the world than illiterates

It's a teaching hospital, and you are the sick patient. Unless you or the person that brought you did not see the signboard when entering. How will the students be taught without you?

HitlerGaddafi:
Normal in teaching hospitals. They have zero regards for privacy. I had a bed ridden friend who had a female student nurse shave his balls. So embarassing.

Riele:
Stupid patients. Imagine allowing a bunch of underaged students to finger my anus.



The Doctor that'll try this bullshit with me doesn't exist!.

Reading comments on some posts, I think that we deserve the kind of leaders that we have.

Consent is important in everything, written or implied.
Coming to the hospital ( Teaching hospital inclusive) does not mean, you rights are burnt.

You can exercise your rights at any point of the hospital journey.

You can voice your preference at any point, like you want a male or female to examine you. If you are discriminated against or denied anything because you chose to exercise your right or preference. You have a ground to sue.

For the Professionals in healthcare, aside consent always ask for a Chaperone when dealing with Service users especially the opposite gender. It is for your protection, not the other way.

but if the trainee doctors don't have real life specimen, how can dey get the necessary experience?

A male nurse should have handled that. If you were the one, I doubt you'd be able to look that girl in the eye for the rest of your life.

COdeGenesis:


You are the foolish one because you fail to understand that in any specialization experience matters. Can you compare a student with a doctor with 30years experience? Do you know how many people have died because of their inexperience. Your comment reeks of stupidity and ignorance

I once brought up this exact topic and people came up to insult me because they don't care for their human rights. They just don't care. Neither do they want to know they exist.


In that case it was a woman who had an emergency, but the doctor rejected her from the whole hospital, because the last time she was there she said she didn't want him to check her body(which is her right). The doctor had taken offense. What high-handedness. And to think doctors and patients alike were in support of throwing her out of the hospital. It shows that Nigerians know no right or wrong, they just live by degrading rules they invented for themselves.

You have a right to go to a teaching hospital and not be opened up for all and sundry to see. They should take your consent first.

Mr writer if everyone will be running away from the hospital of how nurses and students play with your joystick I think 85 of percent of people will die of their illness....



Recently ,I went of hospital because of how the weather is not too nice with me , instead the nurse to give me injection she started playing with my Yash (bombom) I received it because I wanted to be get treated...

doctor should seek the consent of the patients before leading any term for exploring

TCD:
Its a teaching hospital, its primary purpose is for teaching and research. Although consent should always be sought before physically examining the patient. But bear in mind if you refuse to contribute to the teaching of those students, the hospital and the doctor also has a right to refuse to manage your case and refer you to another hospital. Autonomy goes both ways.

Cowmilk:
Doesn’t sound right,I as a student Dr visited another teaching hospital for a skin complaint and I was used to teach other medics rotating through that posting at that time,pics of the skin lesion was even taken although with my consent,that they all examined you without ur consent is a lie,you have the right to refuse any treatment or examination

Kizxee:
I understand that most people are confused as to if they should be privacy or consent required before student doctors and nurses are allowed in. Let me bring out some pointers

1. Once you are admitted to teaching hospital, you are defautly to be attended to by the consultant and his team including student doctors
2. Funnily, you have the right to ask for privacy in a teaching hospital if you don't want. But the doctor might not ask you since it is a default thing
3. Consent must be asked if any examination or procedure is to be done irrespective of who... It can be denied even in a teaching hospital
4. No body has the right to take away your rights even if he is a professor
Having said all that, I rest my case...

Thank you o. Really?! I can't believe ALL I'm reading here. The situation in this country has mis-configured many people's brain. CONSENT IS EVERYTHING! Going to a Teaching hospital doesn't mean you are a guinea pig. It is the right of a patient to be informed that students will be brought over to examine you. Now, you can't even compel the patient to accept. It is against his/her fundamental rights. Infact, before ANY Doctor examines you, he should seek your consent to touch you.

Why are we so lackadaisical about these things? Here in the US, I am required to inform my students that I am going to be recording the Teaching sessions. If any of them objects, I dare not record. That is even a recording that is for their own benefit o.

Now, I am not in anyway demeaning Drs... And asking for consent doesn't in any way diminish learning. It only mean that we recognise and respect our rights as human.

I'm dissapointed in most comments I've read so far.

ADAMUdaCOWBOY:

You people surprise me. That it is a teaching hospital does not strip the patient of their right to privacy. Consent ought to be sought. You think in a developed country a doctor can do that to a patient because it is a teaching hospital? Come on!

If it were a true emergency, the Dr should have attended to the pt and could be liable [/b]especially if their facilities offer emergency services. [b]
Patients also have a responsibility towards their own health and towards their health care providers.
It's a 2 way street.
Unfortunately, if trust is broken between pt and Dr and the relationship gone, its better someone else sees the pt
If there is no other Dr in the hospital (especially if private, with few or no Drs), then it is only right to send the patient somewhere else. It may not mean the Dr took offence because he wasn't allowed to examine her previously.
In certain cases (except in emergencies where they have A/E services) Drs can actually refuse treatment/ touch a patient (govt hospitals may be different though, but usually they would have other Drs there)
You don't have a responsibility to see all patients that present before you.
Your responsibility towards a patient only starts when you accept to treat such a patient, and you can be liable for a lot afterwards. So refer to another Dr in such a case.
At the bolded, I sincerely believe private hospitals shouldn't offer emergency services except those like Eko hospital who have facilities just like teaching hospitals. Most of them aren't built to attend to emergencies. We need proper A/E services attached to proper hospitals in different parts of a town to cater to emergencies.
Private cant really do the job but unfortunately Nigeria isn't ready to invest in her healthcare.
