Nurse locks doctor up at Obafemi Awolowo University teaching hospital (oauth) over a claim that the doctor did not clean up after performing a surgery procedure on a patient.

Nurse Holds Doctor Hostage In OAU Teaching Hospital, Resident Doctors Plan Strike

The Association of Resident Doctors (ARD) at the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital (OAUTH), Ile-Ife, has concluded plans to go on strike over what they termed recurrent harassment of doctors at the hospital.

The doctors held a meeting and resolved to embark on a 48-hour warning strike starting from 8 am on Tuesday, June 21 to Thursday, June 23, 2022.

The doctors made their decision known in a release on Monday signed by Drs Nana Fayowole, president; Anuforo Anthony, General Secretary, and Olasubomi Adelaja, Public Relations Officer, all of ARD at the hospital.

Narrating an incident that led to the decision, they wrote: “It is with great displeasure that I stand before you at this trying time in our profession, where a series of despicable incidents threatens the survival of this noble profession. I express with dismay the rising cases of workplace assault on doctors in this hospital, in which one most recently involved a female medical house officer.”

The resident doctors alleged that “On Thursday 16th of June 2022, a female doctor was forcefully held hostage, confined and verbally assaulted while discharging her duty, by a Senior Nurse in the Female Adult Orthopedic ward (FAOW).

“The female house officer had gone to the said ward with her team which included different cadres of doctors, to carry out a procedure (central line placement) on the only patient in the ward at that time.

“The team on arrival at 4:30pm informed the nurse on duty.

“After the procedure, the team discarded appropriately all sharps used. They wrapped the empty kit with the drape used and kept on the lowest shelf of the trolley and wiped the topmost part of the trolley clean and moved the trolley away from the patient’s bedside.

“They proceeded to document for the patient and were leaving the ward when the house officer was accosted that she should go and discard the waste. The house officer was the last to leave so the nurse went to block her way asking her to go back and discard the waste and when she didn’t answer, the matron locked the gate with the padlock.

“As if that wasn’t enough, she started shouting and rained a lot of insults on her to the extent that nurses from other wards came to plead with her to stop and open the gate but she refused. One of the other nurses even offered to bring her attendant to come and help with the waste but she declined.

“Despite several pleas, the nurse vowed never to let the doctor out no matter who comes from Abuja. We have the video evidence of this incident. It took the effort of many people (staff and passersby) to persuade the nurse to release the doctor.

“This is a totally unfortunate and unacceptable occurrence.”

They demanded that the hospital management should institute a fact-finding committee to look into the incident and appropriate disciplinary measures meted against whoever is found culpable, failure of which the house will re-examine the situation at their meeting in July.

Wow that's sad... But hope you are ready to vote Peter Obi... Let's make Nigeria Great Again

How hard is it to employees a cleaner that can clean up after the doctors finished performing surgery .


To avoid things like this been repeated

Joke taken too far

That's imprisonment, she has no right to do so

I don't understand yoruba language, but I must confess the language dey sweet for my ear

This is against the ethics of nursing profession. Where's the team work?

For a nurse to do that to a doctor means she's sleeping with the CMD or a high ranking medical director in the hospital and the doctor has zero authority over her.

This I have seen.

lol

The Obi-dient the better

You may discover that this has nothing to do with the clean up.

They may have had their personal "Beef".

The Nurse pounced on this opportunity to Escalate matters...

Whose duty is to clean up after surgery?

Bad news for this Nigeria be like the air man breath.

Too bad .. the matron has no right to lock up a resident doctor after performing a surgery just because you wanted the doctor to clean the rubbish from the surgery . What are the cleaners job ?

I don't think cleaning someone's mess is part of the team work ooo. I heard her fellow nurses have threatened to go on strike if she's suspended.

Na lie the nurse de find something,

Eziokwu?
