Onegai: For the love of God and please protect us, call 080-EBOLAHELP and tell them where they are. don't let selfishness kill tens of thousands. Abeg, please, we are in danger. Call and tell the authorities where they are. Each they those people hide, they infect more.
Selfishness? No, it's frustration.
Last week, I got information about a patient who recently traveled and had some of these symptoms from two market women. I begged and eventually got the relatives number. The relatives preferred home treatment due to financial constrain. I pleaded with them to take the man to hospital, they refused. I called the health department in Abuja and was repeatedly transferred to different individuals until I was referred to the state health officer. When I told him ably the situation, he told me that since the man refused medical attention there was nothing he could do. This was after one hour of my credit wasted. I gave up at that point.
The man later died.
And someone will later tell me that I'm selfish and greedy rather than call the government to order

For what? On channelsTv over the weekend, when the commissioner was asked how isolation was to be done he said the patients were given thermometers to check their temperatures themselves and told to stay at home, plus to eat good food. Do toy know how difficult it is to keep someone against his or her will for how many days, against their will? The two that's I know have run away from Lagos. Every one is afraid.

Health › Striking Doctors Offer To Treat Ebola Patients by Leopantro(op): 6:52pm On Aug 05, 2014
Striking doctors offer to treat Ebola patients
AUGUST 5, 2014 BY BUKOLA ADEBAYO
Leave a Comment
Striking doctors in Lagos State have volunteered to join the team of experts managing patients at the Infectious Diseases Hospital, Yaba, Lagos.

The chairman, Lagos State chapter of the Nigerian Medical Association, Dr. Tope Ojo, who said this at a press briefing in Lagos on Tuesday, added that strike would not stop doctors in the state from attending to persons suspected to have contracted the Ebola virus.
Ojo said about 30 of its members had volunteered to join seven of the Ebola Emergency Response and Management Committee working on the prevention and control of the disease at the IDH centre in Yaba.
He said, “Strike or no strike, we must respond to emergencies. Our doctors are at Mainland Hospital, Yaba, were isolated contacts are being monitored. There are seven committees working on the management of the disease at the centre in Lagos, which our members are part of.
“But the committee, where we are having challenges getting volunteers, is case management. This are the people that work directly with confirmed cases.
“Look at the protective measures that doctors in Liberia and Guinea wear. They are well protected, yet some of them still caught it. Our doctors are worried about the danger it poses to their lives and they need to be reassured.
“We understand their fears and we are making moves to confirm the level of preparedness of the government for doctors.”
He informed that the infected doctor, who is presently on admission at the Mainland Hospital, Yaba, was responding to treatment.
“We know that the infected doctor is stable, however, the matron is in a critical condition. But everybody, including the experts from the World Health Organisation, is doing all they can,” he said.
A member of one of the of the committees, Dr. Babajide Saheed, said the doctors were working closely with the WHO and other stakeholders to contain the risk of the spreading the infection.
Saheed said, “Not all doctors can attend to an Ebola patient. In fact you must limit the number of health workers treating affected persons just to contain the risk.
“We will be escalating the situation if doctors rush to Mainland Hospital just to attend to patients.”

Health › Re: Doctors Disagree Over Strike by Leopantro: 2:58pm On Aug 05, 2014
prettyprettywow: it exists oo. In Uk, they are all called consultant. Drs and nurses. It just shows that you are a specialist in your field. Hence they put your title before and after the the word consultant. USA do not use the title consultant, they have their own special name (attending, APRN/specialist nurses). Since Nigeria is using the same word as the UK, why will it be restricted to Drs alone? And yes, they have been doing the same work, they just want recognition and appreciation for services rendered
this is from the link which you posted and i thanked you earlier for.

I really think that one should
be
careful to assume where the
shoe
pinches on someone else's
feet! I
have practiced in Nigeria and
now
in the US and as strongly as I
have
felt about the state of the
healthcare system in Nigeria, I
have refrained from making
sweeping statements. The
health
system in Nigeria is not the
same
as that in the UK or US.
Nurses in
the US can become Nurse
Practitioners after doing a
doctorate and do see patients
but
they are not called
Consultants.
Physician assistants love their
jobs
because they get to see
patients
but their is still oversight from
a
physician. You may provide
consulting services to an
insurance
company but that does not
make
you a medical consultant the
way
the term consultant is used in
Nigeria.
In all, we should remember
that
team work is what makes a
healthcare system work. The
FG
has conveniently used the
current
state of animosity to foster
divisions and the members
keep
seeing evil in each other
instead of
joining hands to fight for a
sustainable health system for
everyone to work together
without
fear and for the good of the
patient. Remember you also
could
be a patient one day and all
you
would want is the best hands
treating you.
Hospital administration: hot
issue.
In the US, many hospitals are
out
to make money and the CEO
may
not be a doctor. However,
there
are executive medical
directors
who are physicians and in
charge
of the medical side of things.
In
Nigerian State Hospitals, there
is
no fracas about who is in
charge, I
suspect many of these issues
occur
in our teaching hospitals, and
I
may be wrong....... There is a
DA in
charge of Administration,a
CMAC in
charge of clinical services and
the
CMD is the equivalent of the
EMD
here. If there is a board to
whom
the CMD is answerable,it
allows for
checks and balances and helps
everyone feel they have voice.
I am
not sure that the clamor to be
CMD
by ancillary staff is legitimate
based on the healthcare
system we
run in Nigeria. It's just a
different
chain of command as
compared to
what obtains in the US where
you
have a CEO who usually is
someone
with a Healthcare MBA, who
actually sometimes is also a
doctor.
One last point, every
profession
has value. If you see value in
what
you do, you are content within
its
provisions for career
development
and seek to excel at it. If you
are a
nurse, nurse with all your
heart;a
doctor,be your best at your
profession, a lab scientist ,
produce
consistent accurate results, a
pharmacist,help in picking up
drug
errors and we can all ensure a
safe
system for patients.

bumfem: The patient is not property of anybody. It is absurd to say Consultant physician own the patient. Nobody own the patient in 21st century health care delivery. The organogram of medical care see Patients occupying the middle position with all health professionals including physician surrounding in a networking pattern. The focus is on the patient. It is system that never give room to any ownership of anybody. You are called to play whenever your expertise is required.
In the teaching hospital 2-3 consultants may be comanaging a patient with Nurses playing an all time role and Physiotherapist called upon for physio and pharmacist always on ground to provide drugs and ensure quality control and dosage appropriatness. .medical lab sciencetists provide investigation that informs diagnosis and choice medications.

The construct that placed ownership of patient to the consultant that first see the patient is a fallacy and a creation of NMA. It is not known to modern medical practice.
the consultant owns the patient but not in the construct you put it. all over the world, the standard practise is you present at a hospital,you are seen by a doctor who determines your line of management. if enquires are made about your healthcare, you are directed to that hospital and to that doctor. if the doctor determines he requires a specialist input, he would refer you to a consultant. when the need of the consultant is complete, he will transfer your case back to the first doctor that saw you.

that is the concept of ownship and is also why when you are asked to get a medical report for any requirement, you are asked to get a doctor to sign it because it is assumed he is in charge of all your health related issues.

in south africa, the nurses are so well taught about health issues that they can write and dispense antihypertensive drugs. i was so happy when i heard it because they know the signs, what to give and when to refer to the doctor when complications arise. so in that setting, i would support a consultant nurse and would work with them.

but in nigeria, i so afraid of what nurses have done. some older nurses i respect but the others......

He jumped the gun making that statement. Like most politicians, he tried to save face by claiming everything was in place to checkmate the entry of Ebola into the country. However, a VIP personnel with the virus was first flown to calabar then transferred to Lagos before dying. He came out again to claim that checkmates have been put in place to prevent it's spread. The next news was a corpse was transferred through the borders to a state that could still be effective.
Health › Re: Ebola: 5 Facts The Media Forgot To Tell You by Leopantro: 3:06pm On Aug 04, 2014
FALSE
A person can have the virus without symptoms
for 2-21 days, the average being 5 to 8 days
before becoming ill. The person is not
contagious until they are acutely ill.
(Technically, if the person beside you does not
look sick, he/she cannot infect you

Is a Person Contagious During
the Ebola Incubation Period?

Even if a person exhibits no signs
or symptoms of Ebola, he or she
can still spread the virus during
the Ebola incubation period. Once
Ebola virus symptoms begin, the
person can remain contagious for
about three more weeks.
