A patient that was taught how to use a sitz bath goes home and does what the mum or mum inlaw tells now end up having complications like a fistula, Even had d guts to sue d Hospital, of course she ended up embarrassing herself.
A patient who has CS and is as dirty as shii... Plus instead of coming to the hospital now decided to press the suture area with hot water.... Or the one that refused to take her antibiotics. Or the one that's saving money and wants to b discharged etc.
A woman came to the hospital with her sons circumcision site practically rotten... Guess what that was not why she came. She came becos of fever. She was hiding the circumcision tingy from us.
I can go on and on... Some patients are overzealous plus oversabi.. They want to dictate what shld be given to them.. Sometimes so Rude. I'm not going to defend any Dr but some patients are more than a handful. I know how many times I've had to ask a patient to sign that he or she is going against medical advise. |

MiddyO: Nerf you know our stories are similar, I lost my own preg @ 22.5 weeks shortly after you. Private hospital on Bourdillon o! My friend's sister almost died in the UK from infected CS site last year. Gross negligence ni o.
So UK too de struggle o, NHS isn't all that in my opinion sorry for your loss.... UK? Infected CS site... Wow. Some negligence shld also b blamed on some Patients... Some patients over sabi is too much ... They'll try all other means like self medication, advice from people before coming to the hospital. And some patients can lie... Lie about everything.. What's even for their own good. |

shawlar: Just coming back from the Naija embassy people @ Comfort Inn. They are not issuing visas and even the passports they are processing will take 4-6weeks before you can collect it... - like I said, not for me. The man also said that instead of an ETC, i can apply for the visa online and there is an option of collecting it in MMA II when I arrive in Nigeria... That is what he said oh...., I don't know if it will work and I'm not that adventurous to try it mesef... lol... Just do ur ETC ABEG.... Before we hear stories that touch the heart |

gratefulalways: Congrats to all the new mummies & daddies in the house. Please I'd like to ask, at what stage of pregnancy should one begin to scout for a doctor & hospital in the US for child birth. Is it too early at 3 months. Thanks for your feedback anytime is OK. Especially after the first trimester. |

MiddyO: Dusting powder in that red container for the baby, Dudu Osun soap for baby, rubb for aching back etc, blue seal Vaseline for baby, Tom Tom, and ur ante natal drugs. dusting powder? It's called agnesia. But anyway There are now things like diaper rash and skin rash creams that clears the rashes very fast. I know they sell it in naija, but I saw better ones in Walmart... For like $2. They also have badass vaseline here. For the antenatal drugs... I came with my pregnacare, but when I got here, Na pack my Dr pack ANC drugs give me. It's totally free here. Then the duduosun part.... Hmmmm... That soap that's harsh for some adults not to talk of a baby. |

bmanbaba: @All. I will like to start by appreciating everybody on this forum . I av read almost the whole pages from part 1. You guys are helping a lot of pple . please I av some questions. Although,some pple have asked similar question but I don't think d answers addressed my situation completely. I got a B1B2 visa with my wife a and Daughter in January 2015 for family vacation.we bought the ticket in march and schedule the trip for Sept. My wife became pregnant in May. We however proceeded on our trip in sept has planned. We spent exactly 2 weeks and presently back to Nigeria. It was while we were there that Frnd and family adviced us to come have the baby in the USA. Also at the POE,the officer there noticed that my wife is pregnant and asked if we were there to av d baby. We said No that we only came for holiday.which is true bcus we never tot of it . She will b due in Feb 2016. Please what are our chances at the POE. ? Thank you. So sorry for the lengthy Torry. You've gone and come back so no wahala. But then send a change of intent to the embassy. There are people that weren't even pregnant during the vacation but was still asked for the letter at the poe bmanbaba: @Dere5. Thank you for ur response. I av contacted doctoespirati(thanks to d house) and also another hospital in New york (from a Frnd) might b going for the one in new York which seems cheaper and also bcus I av relative to stay with before and after delivery till we will come back home. I av read pple make comments abt(1) Burden of proof. (Kindly explain what it is and how to get it(2) Budget sheet . please do I equally need these or are they necessary for pple just going for interview and finally, pls how do I go abt d change of intent mail to the embassy: whats d email address, what's the content going to look like and if possible can anybody help send a copy to my email. I beg the whole house to please help with these. Thank you and then u said u have read through the thread... Smh PLEASE READ THE THREAD O.. HMMMM. THESE CBP OFFICIALS AIN'T SMILING NO MORE.
