. Thank you sir I wonder the face off between doctors and nurses.In reality some nurses think they are Doctors and equate themselves with them. What a professional embarrassment!

goshen26:
This is bad!


How will they expect a doctor after performing stressful surgery to still empty the waste?

Are there no domestic staff around? Well, it's possible that they don't have enough domestic staff for them to attach to all theatre.



Well, Doctors attitude in the hospital can make aggrieved Nurse misbehave sha. I work in a teaching hospital too as Engineer and I know how doctors behave, thinking their profession is superior to every other professions around.

FalseProphet1:
For a nurse to do that to a doctor means she's sleeping with the CMD or a high ranking medical director in the hospital and the doctor has zero authority over her.

This I have seen.

They're "mere" no matter how you guys fight it, Doctors are still far above you and we in the society respect doctors more, we see them as nurses oga. Stop trying to change what you cant. Nurses are helpers to doctors.
University graduate is not same with polytechnic graduates,
Engineers not same with technicians.
No matter how bitter you're about it, the fact remain.
Accept the fact and know peace.
Dichotomy!!!

A cleaner doesn’t have the knowledge of how to dispose medical waste and is only a channel that put the cleaner at risk as well as others, needle stick injuries, infections from exposure to bodily fluids, them transmitting contamination to other surfaces and or persons just to mention a few. It’s is part of the procedure to discard waste that has been generated by the person that generated it.

I am a doc. This is unacceptable not because of hierarchy but locking that door is imprisonment of a health professional in the discharge of her duty. For the entire ARD to strike they know what happened is bad. Now back to the life long nurse doctor discord. Whether this nurse like it or not, hierarchy exists in medicine. With the doctor even if that doctor has only spent one day in the profession as head. It is like the military. This hierarchy exists because there needs to be a clear line of command obedience to save lives. Now to the question of who cleans up after a surgery. Theatre nurses are called scrub nurse for a reason. They are in charge of basic set up before the surgery, assisting in handing instruments and cleaning afterwards. Simple and plain. The matron needs to be sanctioned and anywhere in the world the same will follow. And charges can even be pressed against her for imprisonment in sane environments.

CaptainAyub:

Nurses especially the older ones like picking on house officers,especially the female ones.
Her problem is that the doctor is a house officer(the most junior) and probably a very young person, meanwhile probably earns far higher than her,forgetting that d form for medical school is out on sale every year.
Typically, if a doctor comes into the ward for a procedure or even ward round,a nurse is supposed to follow them.(to observe, assist,take note of instructions made about the patient etc)
If it is a case of a procedure like d above scenario,after the procedure, the nurse is supposed to call the attendant attached to the ward to clean up,that is their job.
But in d zoo,everyone likes to overreach themselves.
Then u know women and their wahala,if it were even d highest ranking male nurse in that hospital, this issue wouldn't have arisen.

zedegit:


It is either the nurse or ward maids. It's never Doctors' duty. This must be a case of "see finish".

Imagine Nurse Eliza o.

Whose duty is to clean up after surgery?

dora7891:


That’s not team work, team work is in relation to the care of the patient and not making excuse for a medical negligence. A nurse is not a doctors assistant, is a pharmacist a doctors assistant? Because they work in closest contact than other healthcare professionals doesn’t mean u and anyone else should blur the job description of a nurse. The only nurse u will say doing such are those in private hospitals employed by doctors and quacks, trained by doctors

You don’t see a doctor coming to help a nurse to clean up after she has doing a procedure such as wound dressing do u? Do u see a physiotherapist help a doc to clean up his mess?

Or should nurses also help the doc to clean his ass after he has use the toilet.

Totilopussylick:
How hard is it to employees a cleaner that can clean up after the doctors finished performing surgery .


To avoid things like this been repeated

Rawviat:
You all should see the images below,they claim to have discarded the sharps ,even their CMD saw the mess and condemned their actions. For those of you supporting doctors against nurses,you must have watched too much Nollywood ,and better still not exposed . FYI, nurses are not doctor's servant,they both are professionals with different responsibilities. It's in a bleeped up country like Nigeria you will see Doctors acting Lord and all,and the citizens too don't even know the difference.

mamajaz:


Yeah, if supposed general is a threat to the larger community. You leave position and deal with safety first.

asiga:
Doctors are becoming endangered in this country with every passing day.

Many of the other health care workers who could not gain admission to study medicine vent their anger on them.

Many who could not survive the med school heat and have to change program vent their anger on them.

They successfully formed unions and associations to intensify their fight against doctors.

Even the Government not helping matters.

No wonder our doctors are running in their numbers to any other country including small Oman.

May God help Nigerian people

bizzibodi:
How can a mere nurse do that to a doctor their is no hospital or patients if not doctors.after God na doctors,she should be discipline.it not everything strike.

Protein0:

Here is the nurse's side of the story.
I wonder how most people on here just jumped @ conclusions.

Dubaku543:
Your reasoning is no different from some of other nurses in this vicinity. The reasoning is sub-par. The point of discuss in this very context is seeking, updating and/ or verification of knowledge asides the already memorised and as such, Emdex and Google serve same purpose of guidance and both confirming. How old are you by the way?

lagosrd:
Get that woman arrested before the any committee is set up and charge her for infringement on your right to free movement.

Tell the court that you were refused your right and freedom to move about outside your wish which is an attempt to kidnapp you and do any other evil stuffs to you.

Also claim that a patient who you should have attended to was also denied care which led to series of complications for the patient.

Moreso, she has succeeded in putting your name in bad light to the extent that those who rarely hear about you now think you're a rascal doctor.

So when she comes back from remand she and her co principalities will shift ground couple with the suspension the hospital management will give them. Awon iya aiye

CaptainAyub:

Your inferiority complex is palpable.
Why not go back to medical school and read medicine if you don't have job satisfaction?
A nurse is not a doctors assistant?
Who then is the doctor's assistant?
Setting up IV lines,passing of urethral catheter etc are 2-man procedures,so whose job is it to assist the doctor do that?
So a doctor should go and be looking for another doctor to apply plaster for him in setting up IV or pass KY jelly to him in catheterization when tens of lazy nurses litter the ward?
That una matron get luck cos if na me,I go beat am well well after all action and reaction are equal and opposite.
Whoever is telling you that a nurse isn't a doctor's assistant is merely using your tiny head.

Who is firming union against who ?, It's only in Nigeria Doctors will antagonize other professionals against climbing up their professional ladder. They are the predator ,and all you supporting them are both predators and prey . Think well before you type

What nonsense are you talking about? Nurses act as assistants and finish off where Doctors stop. Besides there are also ward maids. That Nurse deserves punishment.
