Kaduna trained Dr Hadiza Bawa-Garba, 38, has been charged with manslaughter in a Nottingham Court over the death of a 6-year-old boy.

Late Jack Adcock had Down’s syndrome and was admitted to Leicester Royal Infirmary with pneumonia in February 2011 . About 11 hours later, he went into cardiac and was undergoing resuscitation when Dr. Hadiza mistaking him for another patient who had been discharged, gave a ‘do not resuscitate order’ to the nurses. Alas! It was a mistake.

When a first-year doctor re-read the notes and could not find the Do Not Resuscitate entry, she pointed it out to Doctor Hadiza, but it was too late and renewed resuscitation attempts were futile.


Hadiza along with nurses Theresa Taylor, 55, and Isabel Amaro, 47, who were also involved in the child's management have been charged with manslaughter through gross negligence.

The trial will last for five weeks and at this stage it's difficult to tell if Dr. Hadiza has any chance of winning this; she just may lose her licence.

If only we could turn back the hands of time and correct our mistakes. So sad!

IRKED by what they alleged as negligence on the part of medical doctors at the St. Nicholas Hospital, Lagos, the family of the late prominent radio broadcaster, Mr Charles Bruce Chukuma, also known as “CHAZ B”, has urged the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN), to investigate doctors in the employ of the hospital over the broadcaster’s death.

The late Chukuma had allegedly died in November last year at St. Nicholas Hospital while receiving treatment.

In a petition signed by the late ace broadcaster’s wife, Mrs. Chinyere Roselin Chukuma, before the MDCN, she accused the hospital of negligence, and urged “the Investigation Panel to investigate the doctors in the employment of St. Nicholas Hospital and find out if there has not been a case of incompetence and gross negligence made out against them.”

The petition was deposed to as an affidavit before the High Court of Lagos State by Mrs Chukuma and filed by Olaolu Osanyin, the medical lawyer representing Chukuma’s family and estate.

The petition, exclusively obtained by The Guardian, is titled: “Affidavit of Gross Negligence of Doctors of Saint Nicholas Hospital in Lagos in the Medical Case of Late Mr. Charles Bruce Chukuma.”

According to the petitioner, her husband was a registered patient with St. Nicholas Hospital for his post kidney transplant care and also for general medical care.

She alleged that the deceased took ill about 6.40 pm on November 21, 2014, and arrived the hospital about 7.00 pm with her same day, but was not given adequate medical care by the hospital until he died at 9.30am the following day (November 22).

Chukuma, who gave details of the family’s encounter with the hospital before her husband eventually died, alleged that the doctor on duty when they arrived could not even access the deceased’s medical file in the hospital as it was said to had been locked up in another doctor’s office, which nobody had access to.

She noted that with her husband’s medical file inaccessible, the doctor on call was at a loss on what to do and called one Dr. Balogun on phone who “instructed that a particular injection be administered on my husband to ease the pains and said that they should observe him till the next morning.”

She alleged that the doctor later “told me that my husband would be fine; he asked me to take my husband home and bring him the following morning.”

“About 15 minutes after we got home, my husband said he felt like throwing up. I brought a bowl for him and he vomited and felt a bit better. He slept for sometime and later got up in an excruciating pain. Immediately, I jumped into my clothes and then called Dr. Balogun to say that we are on our way back to the hospital. He said no problem that the doctor will be waiting for me… a senior surgeon,” she alleged.

According to her, the doctor never came, as the doctor on call, whom they had been dealing with from the onset, continued to take instructions from him on phone until her husband’s death.

Alleging that her husband passed away because there was no competent hand to attend to him, she accused the hospital of failing “to refer my husband to another hospital in good time, in order for him to get the best treatment he deserved.”

But when contacted, St. Nicholas Clinical Director, Dr Ebun Bamgboye, told The Guardian that the hospital did not do anything wrong during the treatment of the late broadcaster.

Bamgboye said: “Like she (Chukuma’s wife) mentioned, she has taken the case to MDCN. Ideally, it will be pre-judicial of us to go ahead and discuss the case. Of course, we did not do anything wrong. But it will be wrong for me to start discussing the details of the case. And I think pending when it is reported that the case has been investigated, it will be unfair for anybody to pass any judgment. MDCN has asked for our comment, and we have responded. When they call us during trial, we will state our part of what transpired.”

The late CHAZ B was an On Air Personality and Relationship Coach who became very popular with his radio talk show “Sharing Life Issues With CHAZ B”, which originally aired on Inspiration FM, and later on RYTHYM 93.7 FM, from Monday to Friday from 5.30pm and 7pm. The talk show earned him the prestigious Nigeria Media Merit Awards in 2010 as the Best On Air Personality in Radio.

Lmao...good one

It seems the drama never ends in the Nigerian health sector; if it's not the Joint Health Workers Union of Nigeria (JOHESU), it's AHPA, NANNM or some other health association agitating against doctors over unfair treatment, position or salaries.

Well, this time there is a twist and it's Doctors fighting each other with the stage set for the 'mother-of-all battles'.

In the ring we have, the Management and Chief Medical Director (CMD) of Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) squaring off against Resident Doctors under the aegis of Association of Resident Doctors (ARDs), with the support of the Lagos chapter of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA).

The bone of contention? NMA and resident doctors allege that the CMD used security agents to harass doctors, refused to pay the arrears of emoluments , such as examination fee, update course fee and promotion arrears, among others. They also alleged that the hospital stopped the deducted union dues payable to doctors’ association by their members (ARD ). The group is also calling for the sack of the CMD.

Meanwhile, the CMD has debunked the allegations, saying some NMA and ARD members had personal scores to settle.

At a press briefing yesterday, the management of LUTH, led by the Chief Medical Director (CMD), Prof. Chris Bode, disclosed that doctors and other health workers in LUTH worked for only 112 days last year due to frequent strike, and they still earn more than their counterparts in private hospitals.

The CMD also said: “We don’t report to NMA. We are only begging them to stay away."
He further said: “The president of our resident doctors association here had the audacity to face me and told me that he will go to any extent to achieve their aim. This is part of what they are doing. I reported it to the security agencies.

“If a student can look at the CMD and say he will go to any extent to achieve their aims, it shows you the kind of leadership problems the country is facing in the medical field. This is the reason for this orchestrated call that Bode must go. Whether Bode goes or not, people must always demand for service and one day this country will start asking what are we getting from this money we are spending training these doctors and paying for services not rendered. That is the issue."

When interviewed, The Lagos NMA chairman, Dr Tope Ojo, advised the CMD to vacate his position because he has attained the mandatory age of retirement (60 years).

My humble opinion: the level of disdain and bitterness veiled in both parties' comments is heart-rending; the height was calling a resident doctor "a student" .

With doctors struggling to retain some semblance of dignity in the Nigerian health sector, the last thing we need is tearing each other down. Like a wise man said, "a house divided against itself cannot stand".

Let's live in peace and unity!

Okay. Read here


http://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/releases/2015/hiv-treat-all-recommendation/en/

Anyone infected with HIV should begin antiretroviral treatment as soon after diagnosis as possible, WHO announced on Wednesday. With its "treat-all" recommendation, WHO removes all limitations on eligibility for antiretroviral therapy (ART) among people living with HIV; all populations and age groups are now eligible for treatment.

The expanded use of antiretroviral treatment is supported by recent findings from clinical trials confirming that early use of ART keeps people living with HIV alive, healthier and reduces the risk of transmitting the virus to partners. WHO now also recommends that people at "substantial" risk of HIV should be offered preventive antiretroviral treatment.

If you have a loved one or friend struggling with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) on dialysis, you may suggest they try In-hospital Nocturnal Dialysis (dialysis at night) for a better outcome.

It's been documented that people with end-stage kidney disease who receive chronic dialysis have high rates of cardiovascular disease and death from cardiovascular disease. About 15-20 per cent of dialysis patients die each year, most from cardiovascular disease.

However, In- hospital Nocturnal Dialysis has been linked with lower blood pressure values and phosphate levels (which are markers of cardiovascular disease), as well as a lower risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure, heart attack and stroke.

Unlike conventional dialysis where patients get 12 hours of dialysis a week, given as four hours a session, three days per week; In-hospital nocturnal dialysis provides twice as much time -- eight hours on each of three nights.

In addition to the potential health benefits, nighttime dialysis frees up patients' daytime hours to do the things that haemodialysis treatments typically disrupt such as employment, child care and household chores.

To sum it all up, In-hospital Nocturnal Dialysis benefits both the kidney and heart.

Nawa o. He should have returned to Nigeria where even a nurse can call himself doctor

Lol

Widely-acclaimed and stupendously rich Nigerian doctor, Dr Titus Wole Odedun's has been struck off the medical register in the UK.

This means he can no longer practise as a doctor in the UK.

Dr Wole's travails began when he was found pretending to be a specialist in trauma, orthopaedics and surgery to win work as an expert witness in court cases.

He allegedly who filled his CV with fake qualifications in an online database of medical experts and forged his work history in order to win lucrative work as an expert witness in court cases.

A medical misconduct tribunal found Odedun had given evidence in several court cases while claiming to be more highly trained than he was while exaggerating his professional experience in witness statements.

The tribunal ruled he had “no right to use the various titles he awarded himself” and found he did so “in order to obtain a greater volume of medico-legal work at a significantly higher fee”.


It described his lies as “persistent misbehaviour over a long period of time” and ruled his name should be erased from the doctors’ register.

Southport and Ormskirk Hospital NHS Trust said that Odedun worked as an A&E consultant from 1992 until his retirement in 2005, after which he began taking on medico-legal work as an expert witness.

Odedun denied he had falsely made up qualifications and claimed he was being targeted by a solicitors firm because he was so successful with whiplash claimant reports.

Dr Wole was born in Osun State. He owns a private clinic on Harley street with about 120 doctors in his employ and the centre has been operational for about 13 years.

He also owns a penthouse, 30 cars and a 10 acre property in London.

Oluyemisi Adebayo, the Nigerian nurse accused of killing a baby by submerging her in scalding water had recently been fired from from a previous job for almost giving the toddler in her care a deadly dose of medicine.

Her former employers, Danielle Bartell and Walter Marrero said they were in disbelief when they heard the news of her killing a baby two weeks after they fired her.

Bartell says that on April 7, she watched 54-year-old Oluyemisi Adebayo almost give her severely disabled 3-year-old Tyler what could have been a deadly dosage of narcotics. Bartell became hysterical and kicked Adebayo out.

The woman, who the family hired through Harry’s Nursing, had only been employed for four days. Bartell later found out that Adebayo had not kept track of what medicine she was giving the child.
But when Bartell went to the police, they told her that because the nurse never actually administered the drug, there was nothing police could do.

Just two weeks later, Adebayo had landed job taking care of another child. Owner of Harry’s Nursing told a reporter that he has “no control over his nurses” and that “he can’t discipline them.” He also said that Adebayo never did anything wrong, so he had no reason to hold her from future jobs.

Police say 23-month-old Naomi Mondesire was in the care of Adebayo at a home on Memphis Avenue in Queens at the end of April when the child was rushed to Nassau County Medical Centre with severe burns.

The baby later died a few days later on April 30 of second and third degree burns to her legs and left arm. While Adebayo said she checked the water with her hands first, investigators say the baby’s injuries were consistent with someone submerging her in a scalding hot 130 degree bath for 30 seconds. Adebayo was arrested while trying to flee the country for Nigeria.

With this revelation, perhaps this woman is in need of a thorough psychiatric evaluation.

Ivan LeCasque, 59, from Fort Lauderdale successfully convinced 3 of his ex-girlfriends to undergo breast surgery and he is confident he can help you do the same with his new book- Convince Her To Get Bigger Breasts Manual.


Ivan who has never had any cosmetic surgery himself manipulated convinced his current girlfriend and co-author, Victoria (pictured above) to increase her breast cup from a 26D to a 26K during the course of their relationship which started in 2010

He said, 'What I love about big breasts is not just the visual, it's also the tactile, how great it feels when you're making love to a woman. It's the attention she gets, I have to admit that, and it's the feeling of richness - that's there's an abundance, the feeling that life is good.'

Ivan (twice divorced) has spent $20,000 (£12,740) on breast surgery for his partners, including $11,000 (£7,100) on Victoria alone - and says it is only right that he foots the bill for the ops.


Victoria says her enhancements have strengthened the bond between her and Ivan - but admits there are downsides to having a huge chest like finding clothes that fit.

She said: 'Our relationship is awesome. It keeps on growing - like my breasts.

The book which retails for £17 has sold 3500 copies already and so far, only one patient has been dissatisfied enough to use the money-back guarantee.

Hmmm.....Dumb or not?

In February, a court in the northern German city of Oldenburg sentenced 38-year-old nurse Niels H. to life behind bars.

As well as stripping him of his nursing license, the court also ruled out the possibility of parole after serving 15 years, due to the particular severity of the crime.

Having been entrusted with his patients' lives for years, the German nurse injected patients at Delmenhorst Hospital in northern Germany with enough heart medication to create medical emergencies which required resuscitations, so he could practise what he had watched doctors doing.

Some doctors had noticed that he always seemed to be around when patients were being resuscitated, often assisting junior doctors with the procedure.

But often, the nurse's injections went wrong and medical staff were unable to save the patient. The death rate at Delmenhorst hospital's intensive care unit almost doubled while Niels H. worked in the department.

During his trial, he also admitted to a psychologist to killing a total of 30 patients with overdoses of the cardiac drug and almost killing another 60 during his time at Delmenhorst.

"It was the clinical daily routine which failed to challenge me," Niels H. previously told the court, explaining that he would feel good for days after resuscitating a patient.

The number of patients nurse Niels killed is still not certain and some have dubbed the case "Germany's largest hospital serial murder."

During Niels H.'s total time in employment there were 411 deaths, 321 of them during his shift or immediately after. Of these 321, 191 people were buried - the rest were cremated.

Truly shocking!

Another day and another myth busted? Couples who have more sex are not as happy as we thought. Instead they are less happy than those with an average sex frequency, according to a new research.

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University gathered 128 couples into two groups, one of which was instructed to double their normal weekly intercourse frequency - than the other group which was instructed to maintain their normal sex frequency.

The researchers used online questionnaires to track all the couples' happiness over the 3 months of the study.

At the end of the study period those couples having sex more frequently than was normal for them actually experienced a slight decrease in their happiness, the researchers reported in the Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization.

I'm pretty sure you still remember Monica Lewinsky, the intern who had an affair with Ex-U.S President Bill Clinton.

The affair is no longer headlining news but a 'freaky' museum has reportedly offered her $1million for the infamous 'DNA stained' blue GAP dress she wore during her affair with Clinton.

The museum in question is the Erotic Heritage Museum in Las Vegas which had previously offered her $250000 for the dress.

In a letter to Lewinsky, executive director Victoria Hartmann said she wants to make the blue dress a part of an exhibit “examining the private relationships of people in power, gender dynamics (and) politics.”

Ekiti branch of the Nigerian Medical Association has declared an indefinite strike to protest the kidnap of a nurse as well as a doctor and his wife.

The kidnapped doctor is Dr Patrick Adegun, former Chief Medical Director of Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital. He was kidnapped along with his wife barely 5 days after the abduction of a theatre nurse, Mrs Margaret Aladenaka from the Federal Teaching Hospital, Ido Ekiti.

Adegun and his wife, Kikelomo, were kidnapped at about 8.00pm near their residence at Oke Ila in the state capital on Thursday.

A letter by the Ekiti NMA stated that the decision to withdraw all clinical services in Ekiti State till the safety of doctors could be guaranteed, was agreed upon at an Emergency General Meeting held on Friday in Ado Ekiti.

Just last week, Chairman of the Ekiti NMA, Dr John Akinbote, had called on the government to increase the security for health personnel in the state after a spate of attacks on doctors and nurses in the hospitals. A few days later, a nurse was kidnapped and now a doctor.

Meanwhile, Ekiti government is appealing to the doctors to shelve their strike action plans. Special Assistant to the Governor Ayodele Fayose on Information, Mr Lanre Ogunsuyi said, “Police and the state government will make Ekiti secure for health workers and every worker in the state. We will put in place good measures for people to be able to move without hindrance.”

I say all bark and no bite.

For the first time, Ebola has been discovered inside the eyes of a patient just months after the virus was gone from his blood.

Dr. Ian Crozier, 43, was flown last September to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta for treatment after contracting Ebola while working in Sierra Leone. After a serious battle, he was eventually deemed cured and released.

But a burning sensation in his left eye, a sensitivity to light and the feeling that something was stuck in his eye continued to bother him. Later he suffered blurred vision, pain and inflammation, and the colour of his eye turned from grey to green. When doctors tested the aqueous humour, the watery substance inside the eye, it tested positive for Ebola.

It was a startling discovery for doctors who were unaware that the infection could hide and grow in the eyes after it has been vanquished elsewhere in the body.

"This case highlights an important complication with major implications for both individual and public health," write the authors of a report of the case in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Earlier this year, in the first case ever of its kind a Liberian woman contracted Ebola after having unprotected sex with a man six months after he was deemed cured.

Contact with an infected eye isn't expected to transmit the disease, reassured doctors. The physician's tears and eyelids tested negative for the virus even while it was inside his eye. He has recovered and his eye and sight were saved. But some of the tens of thousands of people in Africa who survived Ebola could risk going blind if eye problems due to Ebola aren't diagnosed and treated in time, they warn.

These incredible pictures show how a brave woman turned her mastectomy scars into a work of art.

Tattoo artist Mim d'Abbs drew the tattoos for an anonymous breast cancer survivor who had had both her breasts removed and wanted an ink pattern to cover up her scars from the operation.
Mims posted the pictures on Facebook with the woman's permission and within 24 hours of it being uploaded, it received 175,000 likes and 14,000 shares.

I like it too---art for pain. What do you think?

Ivory Coast has banned skin-whitening creams because of the harm it causes to health.
“Cosmetic lightening and hygiene creams ... that depigment the skin ... are now forbidden,” the ministry said in a statement.

The ban includes: whitening creams and lotions containing mercury and its derivatives, cortisone, vitamin A or more than two percent hydroquinine.

I'm guessing it also includes Dencia's whitenicious cream even though she claims it does not contain harmful chemicals.

Altogether, I think it's a good law for public health protection, but I feel people will always find a way to use whatever they like.

At the end of the day, this law may only create a new market for smuggling.

The Lagos State House of Assembly has passed the State Health Insurance Bill which will become law when signed by Governor Babatunde Fashola.

The law will make health insurance compulsory for everyone in the state: employed or unemployed.

Chairman, House Committee on Health Services, Suuru Avoseh, said the bill would enable residents have access to good medical care and a health insurance agency, set up by a board will determine the type of health care services to be covered by health care providers.

If you recall, a few months back, telecommunication giants, Glo and MTN unveiled mobile insurance plans that allows you access health insurance with your phone.

On Glo, dialing *616# gets you access to the plan at N1000 per month. With this new bill, Glo and MTN will be smiling to the bank even more.

Hopefully, people don't hate this health care scheme like "Obama Care."

Do you think making health insurance compulsory is a good idea?
