This bitterness smells like you either could not get admission to the medical school or you were expelled from the medical school for poor academic performance. Whichever explains your situation, just take heart.

I doubt it will ever happen. There is a saying in anaesthesia that goes like "you must monitor the monitor"
This means, professionals have to be there for this said technology to work effectively without causing harm.

At times, this our profession is not easy. Especially when you practice it outside the country.


Have never seen a place where patients are more appreciative like here in Canada.

Oga doctor in the abroad, this appreciation letter to a fellow doctor is from Nigeria. Nigerians are the most appreciative bunch.

Some are good many are not so good. One nut nurse made me have zero regard for most of them.
Imagine being admitted to treat typhoid. That was when I moved to a new location, the werey night nurse was like. Your family isn't here, you don't even have a girlfriend, pls dont die while i am on shift here o.Who is going to get you food.
That night I just put a call to the only friend I met in the same line of business. He arrived hours later with his friends.
Food was surplus even the mannerless nurse had a good chunk to get her hungry bowels filled. Most of them are weird. Few are nice.


Those nurses had emotions, you would thing they are bad, it's just their ways of expressing their emotions, cos most time it's not easy for them to recover from listing a patient


I was once Admitted in Luth, the nurse got Angry, and even more Angrier when I refuse an injection, while the student doctor assigned to me, a very beautiful Lady was not happy with me thinking I hide my drugs so she won't inject me,

last last we became good friends, with the nurse always checking on me, and sometimes giving me advice to help with my health,

"My cancer".

Words have power.

Albeit, doctors are Heaven's angels on earth, it's a pity Nigeria as a country isn't making them happy at all.

A BIG PITY!

Your head is obviously not correct at all. Wait until you have a very serious reason to be involved with a doctor saving your life, let me see if you will say same. For someone who has stayed under anesthetics for over 10 hours in a major surgery, I'd never disrespect doctors for whatever reason. If you think it's easy for them to take your breathing out of your body, transfer it to a machine, cut you open and operate on you for several hours, and now return your body function from machine back to your body successfully, then you obviously have a problem upstairs.

Your points were really good and you provided answers to some questions boggling my mind after losing 2 precious people this year.
EmperorCaesar:


Is it just me, or is Medicine still at his infant stage?

Going by the number of sicknesses that cant be truly cured, U begin to wonder why there are so many things available to terminate peoples life at anytime and why these things keep frustrating the efforts of science and technology

In the end, theres nothing special about death(An occurence that wont meet u alive shoudnt be scared), we only worry about many things we will miss and thats why we just would do anything to live


All these is pointless if u can always remember that since 2000BCE till u were born, a lot have happened, yet u care less during those period cause u werent even aware.

Once u have this in mind, u will stop fighting hard to save what cant be saved

Without even reading the letter .... it is very unprofessional for the doctor to post such a letter... and may even violate doctor/patient privacy rules. If he can do this .... publicly ... I'm wondering what does he discuss in his circle? .... Pastor So and So came in today and was diagnosed with an STD? .... or his wife came in with a damaged rectum? He need to be called in by the Medical Board or whatever. Whatever is told to a doctor ought to be kept private.... like someone confessing to a Priest... left between the confessor ... the Priest and God ... if the confession is forwarded to Him.


Patient is already dead.

Rest...

Even though I agree he should have blurred the patient's name or personally identifiable information

Compassion is part of their training, getting attached to a patient is not.

It is called Empathy, Sir

You go on the journey with your patient until they recover or die.

Doctors are humans too.

First time I lost a patient, I ran into a secluded room and cried. I kept asking myself if there was anything else I could have done to save the patient's life.

As for bringing it to the public, it's his decision. There are some experiences you can't just keep to yourself.

The important is that you don't disclose the patient's name

Dumb!

Praying to God to give another man a wife when you are on your deathbed sick with terminal cancer.

God did NOT answer your plenty prayers for healing, it's matchmaking he has time for.

Just dumb!
I use to think praying for someone to have a good wife was like a waste of time until I needed one.

I think her prayers is on point, making money is more easier than having a good wife, a wife will either make a man or mar him.

It's a good prayer.

I've always said it that Atheits arent logically thorough enough to tackle well-reearched theists

So cause say she pray and still die, e mean say God no exist

To people like u, u want to keep seeing things going outside the normal natural law(Miracle) at all times to believe God doesnt exist

Its like saying that cause prayer couldnt heal a sickle cell patient, then there is no GOD


I swear, Most of u half-baked logical thinkers dont think deep enough to counter the God claim with logic

Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawkings(In his book "Big Answers to Brief Questions"wink are the two reatest scientist of last century yet claimed that going by their "knowledge of cosmology and seeing the multiverses obey Natural laws, they find it hard to believe that a random explosion brought about this highly complex designs"

Same Hawkings wrote The Big bang theory, same Hawkings hinted on the possibility of a creator and even affirmed he couldnt disprove his existence

Na one randy Nairaland guy wey dey vex for religion cause of poor doctrines i go con dey take seriously cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy
Its either you're illiterate or just plain dumb.
1. Your Holy Babble said when christians pray, Yahweh answers their prayer. Not only that, y'all assault us with the quote that with god all things are possible. Now heal cancer, mouth don change.
2. Hawkins never wrote that he believed in any god. That's just stupid lies to make your fellow christians happy. I thought your holy babble said lying is a sin
3. The Big Bang Theory was postulated by a priest. Yes! A catholic priest. Not by Hawkins.
Please theists educate yourself before engaging atheists
