I'm sure you didn't read this part;

"The activist narrated that his team wasn’t the first to come for the discharge of the twins but the doctor kept hiking the delivery charges in order to make it difficult for whoever came for their release."
Perhaps the more days spent in the hospital attracts increament to the previous bill.

You are saying rubbish. The professional ethics guiding medicine SPECIFICALLY STATED THAT THE DOCTOR IS ENTITLED TO HIS PROFESSIONAL FEE AND COST OF TREATMENT .

There is no ethic that says that the doctor should pay your bill or work for free.
I didn't see where you said the ethics include hiking the delivery charges each time and holding mothers and their infants hostage for months.

I'm sorry I didn't even realise who I was talking with. Take care.

Oga, please stop!
"The money the foolish activist is spending to visit commissioner of police up and down could have settled part of the bill" for you, it's ok for the doctor to keep "hiking the delivery charges in order to make it difficult for whoever came for their release."

So it's fine for someone to give you a bill, you managed to raise the money only for the other party to hike the bill each time you managed to raise the initial amount?

"You didn't consider the fact that the doctor will reject the next person in labour without significant deposit."
Yes, let him reject! It's better to reject those who can't afford his bill than to turn around and exploit them.
You are so ignorant.

You think the woman that could not pay the bill for six months was sleeping on the floor?. She was occupying a bed that they could have used to admit another patient. What is wrong with these Nigerians? With this attitude, people will continue to die over small stuffs. Let me tell you the truth, doctors don't need police report to treat a patient in emergency. They only use that excuse because they know whatever they do in emergencies is free many times. Nobody pays them afterwards and people like you will come here to castigate them afterwards. Guess what? Thousands of people have died.

The hospital would continue to spend money on that woman and her baby for six months they were there. You think it is free services. You expect the bill to be the same even if they spend one year there?

Why can't the human right lawyer go to social media and raise money? Oh....he knows Nigerians will blame the woman that who sent her to go and deliver. Somehow, you expect the doctor to bear the cost , do the treatment, take the risk in case anything happens to the woman and still work for free. This woman has family members who refused to contribute. She has fellow Nigerians like you who have never helped anyone with a dime but are quick to condemn a doctor that used his personal to do surgery without advance payment.

Don't worry. Our health sector will improve. Tinubu will take the next delivery in that hospital without deposit.

Stop talking nonsense!

Be here talking as if you own the whole world.

If you have never been in a hopeless and helpless situation, get ready, you will experience it soon.
I'm not sure I agree with seizing the babies, for 6 months for that matter.

However, what option does the doctor really have?

He's got staff and bills to pay.


He's the least guilty in all of this.

Due to his care, the kids were safely delivered.

Through no fault of his, he has lives to protect, bills to pay, business to conduct and moutbs to feed.

The couple that had the twins?

They had 9 months to figure it out.

The desperation with which they got the "activist" is the same desperation they should have adopted to foot the bill prior.

OK, let me ask you a practical question.

How do you expect a hospital to run if patients are unable to pay their bills because they are in "hopeless and helpless situations"?

You know hospitals pay rent, pay for power, pay staff, buy medications and pay specialists that come to review their patients.

How can an MD survive in the above-painted situation?
Re: Imo Activist Secures Release Of Twins Seized By Doctor Over Unpaid Bill by purples25(f): 1:48pm On Nov 03, 2024
I can condemn a doctor wanting money first in a life and death situation. But where you were pregnant for nine months, and you are poor, why should there be pride in poverty. You just have to beg for funds and gather and get yourself fully paid for before delivery. She didn't go to anyone to beg so she can handle these funds around childbirth time. She kept her dignity and sat, probably hoping on people's promises at most, now the hospital was kind enough to take you in without payment, they told you to pay, you became strong headed, you said you have rights.

I don't think the doctor was exploiting her, because for every day you spend in the hospital, your bill increases, no day there is for free. So why would you claim the price was being 'hiked'?

Kudos to the activist that helped the girl and her babies, but she wasn't in the right. Neither was her family, because they are supposed to stand up and beg whichever big people in their religious community, state or whatever. It is not the time to hold pride, yet they used pride and force of human rights to leave that hospital.

Please, apart from the girl's release, those bills should be paid. It is unfair to the hospital and doctor to do work and not be paid too.

Joke apart, some people are seriously mean..the way people value this money makes wonder if there is something more to it than what I know.

Money is all that some people live for, zero conscience when money is involved as if money can buy them everlasting life.

At least you can compromise your money making policy to contain humanity In certain situations.

I dey desperately look for money but I always get my conscience in check...

No matter how much we get, one day we go kpai leave the money behind the only thing we will have intact is how we lived our lives as we present ourselves to the owner of life to receive our reward according to our works .
Teaching hospital holds discharged patients who have not settled their bills until either
1) the patient pays and is finally free to go home OR
2) a philanthropist comes and settles the bill OR
3) the patient finds and "apiam way" and absconds.

Also consider she may have had a C/S to deliver those twins.

Apart from that, other costs incurred during the babies' delivery.

Many private hospitals are shutting down now because they cannot even pay their staff or buy diesel to power their generators.
The owner sef never see any profit for the month.

No body has denied the fact that "hospitals pay rent, pay for power, pay staff, buy medications and pay specialists..."

No body has also said patients shouldn't pay their bills or think hospitals are charitable organisations.

However, what some of us are condemning are:

1. Holding mother and infants hostage for 6 months. He has no right whatsoever to do that.

2. "The activist narrated that his team wasn’t the first to come for the discharge of the twins but the doctor kept hiking the delivery charges in order to make it difficult for whoever came for their release."

Why should the CP.be commended? The doctor seized the two children ... that's kidnapping. What's the difference when someone is seized and will not be set free until money is paid? ... is it not also kidnapping? The doctor should've been charged for kidnapping.... that will be upholding the law. If the doctor wasn't paid then it is for him to press charges on the mother for not paying for services rendered. I wonder if the CP has a young hot wife and the doctor seizes her for bill payment if he will take same action.

It's a debt that has to be repaid! But are there no Primary health centres in the state?

I live in Lagos where we don't pay much for antenatal at the PHC and the delivery is free!

You will buy baby and mother items!
PHC is for normal delivery and not twins pregnancy.

If you can't secure the hospital bills of your children, how can you even give them proper care.


The orientation in our society is very poor.

Why didn't those people making the attempt mobilize the bill and pay at least half of it? Or you think the hospital is a not for profit organization? How does the hospital recoup the resources expended in caring for the delivery for the next patients?
