The statement affirmed that he was on call for 48 hours (13th and 14th September) which is also not appealing. Don't see why they are trying to make it seem so

If the family comes out to accuse the hospital without having any proof and strong legal backup by their side, they could be setting themselves on a suicide mission because the hospital can sue them for defamation of character.

They will use their powers in high places to make sure that the family don't get the justice they need.

Well, can’t say if this is damage control or not. Mayb the overtime is synonymous to teaching hospitals because in federal health cares here in Abuja you hardly see a doctor work 48hrs straight up, not even a surgeon.

Maybe the 72 hours was exaggeration and media sensation. But he probably worked overtime without adequate welfare provision.

He was on housemanship. He graduated just last year.
Such a person can never be exposed to any serious work in a place like LUTH where you have many experienced doctors

I know there won't be any official roll call that would have shown any house office will be on call for 48hrs...

But in practical terms, from testimonies of Drs here on Nairaland, these Drs are made to work for Hours..calls back to back non-stop..

It's time for Drs pressure group to stand against this slavery...if any hospital management, departments or units are confident and are certain that they are doing the right thing by making Drs work extra hours...such roll call, time-table should be on black and white. Let them type and print it.

If not, Drs should not do beyond anything that is not officially written in black and white.

The elephant in the room is that we do not have enough medics in this country...and not just doctors, Nurses, pharmacists, etc. Even CHEW's

It's even worse in the rural areas. God help you if you are a medical cadre working out in the rural area, especially if you are a doctor.

I just graduated from medical school, I'm currently awaiting my HJ posting. I've read a whole lot about HJ and the stressful work conditions; I wonder why nothing substantial has been done to improve the condition of Nigerian intern doctors, especially those in teaching hospitals.

If one isn't careful, rather than learning case management, one may spend an entire year running errands, chasing samples and results, and doing every other stuff but learning the rudiments of the practice.

Congrats on your induction, I hope you have a fruitful career. Housejob is traditionally a period where you experience practical aspects of all you have been taught in med school. In the Nigerian system, no one really expects you to do much studying, only practical learning and doing all the hardwork for your team. Some who plan to take their board exams asap try to squeeze out time to read buy tbh, it takes a whole lot of discipline otherwise most leave it till NYSC.

Yeah, its peculiar to some surgical rotations. Other rotations typically start on-call from 4pm. Surgery has only been for the 'brave', even abroad.

Originalsly:


He said most likely... meaning he is not sure ... not a firm conclusion.

The term most likely means that of all the options available, this is the one with the highest probability of occuring. It is as close to a 100% as it can get. And considering the fact that some of its synonyms include "doubtlessly", "no doubt", "in all probability", etc, I wonder why anyone will use the term when there is absolutely no mention of the doctor taking any vaccine. There is a world of difference between "most likely" and "probably" which I believe is a better fit for the case at hand.

Just because we use it the wrong way most of the time doesn't mean it should become the norm.
But then again I don't expect you to understand, judging from antecedents. I am only stating this for the benefit of others who might be interested in knowing the difference.

“The parents gave the details of what they thought must have contributed to his death but pleaded that the wish of the family be respected and that the narrative is not for public consumption,” it said.

I thought it supposed to be the hospital carrying out post mortem to help the family know why their son died?

But instead it's the family telling the hospital why their son died

Fake news should be a crime liable to 5 years imprisonment. There is no way someone will do 72 hours and still go to church
5 years jail term!That's a laugh.Minimum should be 10 with hefty fines proportionate to the damage done.
You probably don't know the impact fake news has on lives and livelihoods.
Fake news destroys and kills more than oppression,victimisation or even some physical abuse.
When I see or read people casting aspersions or calling authorities or individuals liars and cover -ups when they give facts to debunk fake news,I just shake my head in pity because I realise these are people that have not run an organisation or been in positions before where one single fake news can destroy careers,lead to closure of companies or even suicidal thoughts and actions when individual lives,livelihood or career are impacted.

Ok so he was on call on for two consecutive days (13th and 14th) which is 48 hours already. This is in addition to the 8am-4pm regular shift on the 15th as 15th was a workday. Total hours = 56hours.

The simple truth is that doctors are trained to be responsible for their actions. They are unionized at LUTH and it is very unlikely he would work 72 hours non stop against his will

If he knows he is not fit for work he should know what to do.
Working for 72 hours as a doctor is unlikely to kill anyone especially a young person at House Officer level unless they have underlying medical problems. The way his death was reported suggested that he may have had some other underlying issue

Doctors are overwhelmed with work. It's more than the job, they do it because they regard human life. Too many patients with few doctors, most have and still relocating. It's well with the common man in Nigeria

My experience in the hospital during childbirth made me regard medical practitioners. Despite their fraustrations, they still work.

God bless them and Rip to the dead, may his soul find eternal rest.
