Health / The Epistle Of A Young Nigerian Doctor. by drgeorge1(m): 11:46pm On Aug 23, 2014 |
I met Ikenna Obieze last year when I just started my horsemanship. A tall, brilliant chap with a tired smile. He always wore that smile, he told me, to ward off the spirit of aggression that seemed to threaten his relationship with people especially, his patients."Excessive work in a suffocating working environment have a way of making people angry so, I have to smile away the anger,"he smiled. I had just started my obstetrics and gynecology posting when he was about to Start his neurosurgery posting. And that same day, in the common room, he received a text from his girlfriend saying goodbye to him, breaking up with him. He showed me that text with hot tears running down his cheeks. But, he did not cry for long; he was just starting the second of three ninety days, 24hours calls. And soon as he showed me the text, his phone started ringing; some new accident victims had just been brought into the hospital. There was no room for petty emotions or his work would be compromised. He would have to toss his life away, immediately, in order to save the sick. Yet, he too, was sick, only that he could not notice. But I saw it in his eyes. That was the day I swore never to become a surgeon. Or even to do residency in any clinical field at all. That singular encounter with Dr Ikenna completely discouraged me. I couldn't just imagine myself, after the hell of medical school, writing primaries - a hectic West African exam that qualifies one for the residency program, that then leads into years of more hell, like Ikenna was experiencing. The program is designed to train would-be specialist in the different areas of specialization in medical and surgical practices. It takes on the average of six years to complete the program. But, in reality, it takes a lot longer because, it is designed in such a way that ninety percent fails the exams, each time it is conducted."It's relatively, deliberate"an examiner once told me."It is to ensure that any would be consultant is properly trained, taken through the furnace, so that he would be able to handle a patient's life and the teaching hospital. It is a holistic training,"he concluded. That same day, I made up my mind to go for master in pharmacology instead of residency. And when I discussed it with my consultant, he gave me a stern warning."You'll never become a consultant,"he warned."You'll never be a CMD, and you will watch your mates leap frog you in the practice."I just sat there, nodding as he babbled. In the end I just said"no problem". My, mind was made up. I wasn't going to be a slave in the hospital, a prisoner for up to a decade like Ikenna had chosen. And I was right. Ikenna's life became more distorted as time went by. Not because his fiancé had left him because, as she lamented, he wasn't giving her enough attention. Not because he was often seen dosing off at almost every corner of the hospital because he never had time to sleep at night. Not because some people started doubting his sanity; lack of sleep actually affects our mental health and Ikenna had not slept adequately for two years now owing to excessive, overwhelming work load. It was rather because of what happened in the middle of his neurosurgery posting. It was on a cold December monday. We were watching a premier League match between Chelsea and liverpool when his phone rang for the millionth time. It was a patient calling. A patient that had been previously in coma and had just recovered. Ikenna, as usual, ran off for the millionth time. "It's that patient I told you about, let me go and empty his urine bag. The nurses won't go close to him, you know. He is violent and HIV Positive; they are afraid of getting smeared by his ever bleeding hand", he said to me in one breath, as he ran off. "But, you can't be doing your work and do the nurses work, too,"I countered. "Is that what you are considering; of what use is it to wait for the nurses? In this practice you, the doctor, is responsible for the patient's life and if you keep waiting for the non committed support staff, you'll lose a lot of patients."He replied in one breath, as usual, and ran off. The match was nearing the end, when he came back, so sad and sullen. He had a slight dressing on his forehead. I noticed it as he quietly came and sat beside me, dropping his head to cry. "That bastered just gave me a needle prick", he lamented. I was shocked. That was the first time I knew what risk faces me daily, in medical practice. "How did it happen,"I asked, a bit angry that he didn't take precautions. He shook his head at me."Of course I took precautions, Emeka, but as I bent to fix his catheter, he pulled out his Butterfly cannula and stuck it on my forehead." "You should go for Post exposure prophylaxis, you know,"I proffered. "I got it covered already"he feebly replied. But, he was shaken and really scared. "Who knows.... Just pray for me so I wouldn't just become infected doing this job."He resumed watching the match. "We have to pray for one another,"I said. I would later have my own encounter with that kind of hazard three times but, luckily for me, the patients were not infected. Each has happened owing to tiredness during my own surgery posting. After staying awake for three weeks at a stretch, it was inevitable that I would injure myself in the process of caring for my patients. Lack of sleep makes people less careful and shaky. It stems from over work which stems from the fact that very few doctors are left in the country because, majority have run away from the stifling working conditions in the country. And work has got heavier and heavier, as time went by. And again, more patients are coming in as economic hardship hit the populace harder and harder. And just like Ikenna, over sixteen thousand resident doctors sweat and bleed daily, spending every second of every day in the hospital, working to save patients'lives. Often times you could see it in their faces, the excessive suffering they go through. Tattered and hungry, these brave doctors keep the hospitals ticking and without them, there would be no teaching hospitals. They are bleeding to become capable consultants in the future, to create a better healthy future for the nation. The Hazzard allowance is five thousand naira. Greatly unfair. Even for hazards like the ones both Ikenna and I suffered. Even ones bigger than ours. But, that's not the major difficulty these days. Sadly, they too, are not immune to the difficulty facing every serious minded intellectual in the country. The same leadership problems pushing intellectuals, daily, out of this country to greener pastures, real greener pastures. Problems like poor renumeration, not in any way commiserate with the amount of effort invested in working for the government. 1 Like |
Health / Re: NMA Vs JOHESU Vs FG Vs Patients........ Why the hatred for doctors??? by drgeorge1(m): 5:35pm On Jul 11, 2014 |
sexyexcalibur: the hatred is not only in Nigeria... even in the US doctors are hated because the public thinks they are paid excessively despite the global recession..... doctors give their life for you in training, the pressure in medical school can be so much that even the best student this year might be withdrawn the next year.... most of those who hate doctor's have their reasons, I understand that,but the generalized hate is not fair at all..... despite all this hatred , a doctor takes solace anytime he saves a life. the patients gratitude gives him the feeling I can't explain.... the fact that the Number of students applying for medicine increase yearly gives him assurance..... and yea, the fact that some of this health professionals were withdrawn from medicine or refused the course when they applied shows him he z privileged... we don't care about those who hate online..we care about those who come to us... they love us, and that is enough God bless you sister! |
Health / Re: Seriously, Doctors Are Small gods - Funke Egbemode (Sun News) by drgeorge1(m): 4:47am On Jul 11, 2014 |
allycat: The general consensus I get from these threads is that the Nigerian public does not require the services of these idiots called Doctors. So why all the noise, take your sick to the pharmacist, physiotherapist , MLS and nurses, no one is stopping you. After all some years ago Borno state brought in Egyptian technologist who were acting as doctors. Yes people died but it's better than being treated by a lousy Nigerian doctor.In everything in life there is the law of demand and supply if people stop looking for doctors then we(cos I am one) will find our level.

Hebunn: @OP, your handling of the whole issue was immature. I ain't gonna condemn anyone here, who am I to do that. But the truth is every man's got a weakness and lemme remind u dat d man of God didn't fall from heaven, he's human. So don't bring him and his ministry down just because u feel u were battered or molested. A sin is a sin before God and a lair is as guilty as a murderer. You were both guilty, so ask God for forgiveness, and maintain a reasonable distance from anything dat might remind you of him or his ministry, and move on wit ur life. May I remind u dat GOD might not abandon his plan and purpose in the life and ministry of d said pastor just because u want to free ur conscience. Life goes on, so move on. We're all sinners, only HIS mercies keeps us. I bet there are some element of sense in my post. My one cent. well said! ...its a sensitive issue, d means must justify d end also! |
