I haven't in anyway discounted experience, nor claimed that studying and referencing trump experience...!

I merely corrected your display of ignorance that consulting books while in practice shows lack of capability, especially as highly experienced professionals in all fields still constantly consult books.

Just take simple correction, and refrain from too much shalaye.

Corrected your ignorance? Your foolishness will start when you see a mechanic reading from his dictionary to repair your car Werey una go learn in a hard way

Actually that can be a good sign until you see another profession before you will start to complain.

"See another profession", meaning what?

How is a tube inserted into the vagina to see what not via monitor able to rupture an artery to cause internal bleeding of such magnitude?

How?

It was the needle injected into her spine. If you've seen the needle before you'd know that any wrong move can be very deadly or cause lifelong health complications. It's almost as thick as a biro ink.

she doesnt even need that procedure. The doctors were just incompetents.

This is so heart breaking

RIP... May the Lord give the family the fortitude to bear this loss

Normally, you dont just administer anaesthetics least spinal, to a patient who has eaten within 24 hrs or less, and had not had vitals checked, due to throwing up or vomitting in an unconscious state.

Mehn condolencess ooo. This bad

Result of corruption in our higher institution of learning.

True talk.

As a Medical Student in Naija many years ago, 20% of my classmates cheated to pass exams.

Imagine where the clique of students who knew that if they failed first MB exams second time around, they will be kicked out of Med school.

So, they then do division of labour on the sylabus with some specializing on studying ONLY upper limb or lower limb or head and neck, etc and then they sit at the back of the class during exams and compare notes and end up scoring 100% in the exams and this is apart from some Profs children who will have seen the exam question days before the exam

Its no wonder that today, I trust a google search more than any Doctor.

I am saddened by your loss. This is not the time. When you have come to terms with her loss, you then need to sit down and ask yourself some questions.

How on this mother effing earth, did you allow your precious daughter to go anywhere near a Nigerian hospital for such so called "Minor procedure"? A girl who was due to go abroad in a week's time and you couldn't wait for her to get there and get medical consultation. You have the money. Instead you sent her to the house of butchers.

I am pointing this out so you don't make the mistake a second time. Yes, go to a Nigerian hospital if it is malaria and be very observant of the butchers and don't leave someone you love with them alone. But anything other than malaria, don't go anywhere near a Nigerian hospital or butcher. Not even for headache as it can be the symptom of a serious underlying problem and they will still not get it right.

Those who use Nigerian hospitals do so because they don't have a choice. if we are to hold these butchers accountable for the deaths that have occurred in their hands, there will not be a single butcher ( sorry Doctor) left in Nigeria . They will all be in prison.

We must also be thinking persons. When a society has become so decayed as ours, you should know that the decay is everywhere including in medicine. You should not have driven that girl to any hospital. If your thought was that it will be cheaper in Nigeria than her planned destination, well there, you have your answer. If you can afford it, don't go to a Nigerian hospital. It is that simple. A hospital in Benin Republic or Ghana will give you better outcomes, if you can't afford one in Europe or North America.

Until the day the Nigerian people, who are holding themselves down by allowing riff raffs to govern them, wake up and "prefer death to a life that is worse than death.

I greet you special brotherly
