It is not her fault atall! Work is being divided in such hospital and every body has his or her own work,is a doctor that suppose to see the patient first and most doctors do neglect their work in public hospitals if atall the doctor is even on duty they mostly do less affair attitudes,the nurse is to just nurse the patient after doctor must have finish treating him/her,so stop blaming the nurse is the doctor that suppose to be on duty but no place to be found.

true. Check out her chest though. Dr is in front of her name

She's only doing her job.

Until the day it will happen to you and we will tell you she's only doing her job maybe that's when reality will done to you that there more to humanity than money can solve

SeeWahala:
He talks well abi? Hehehe 🤣😂

It's surprising to see that you and immortalcrown don't believe they could ever get involved in an accident in their life where by a random good Samaritan could rush them to a hospital to save their life

I hope if/when such a day comes (either to you or yours) and you're being refused life resuscitating treatment you will both remember this post you made here where you claim to understand why such treatments should be withheld

In this life, we reap what we sow and yes I myself have been involved in a terrible accident where I was rushed to the hospital unconscious and fortunately received life saving treatment

Whenever I wake up, I'll always thank the man that facilitated my travel to Scotland in 2001 when Japa was not really a thing.

I went through what that guy wrote and I was like, are we for real, see people wey Una dey share country with ooo. You read that and you wonder why Nigeria is as it is.

No be private hospital ooo, no be state hospital ooo nah FEDERAL MEDICAL CENTRE FOR Federal Capital Territory LMAO 😂 😂 😂

The other one say e sabi doctors that were arrested for treating wounds and stabs. Thank God I left these fcckin clowns.

Imagine being stabbed and rushed to a federal medical centre in the capital city but you were not treated because of excuse akaria. Lol

Things are very different here in Scotland. Nigeria needs serious reorientation walahi.

Experience is indeed the best teacher!!!

wellmax:
This is the Federal Medical Center. No excuses suffice, and as the Good Samaritan said, it’s not about the nurses but bringing the situation to the attention of the minister

Meanwhile police report is not needed for a road traffic accident and not even needed for all kinds of scenarios for that matter.

The police has been shouting this for a long time

The person you're quoting does not have enough education to understand BASICS. An emergency accident taken to a federal medical centre has no excuse. Worst case scenario, inform the necessary authorities and save his life first. If he's a criminal, he'll serve jail time or be killed by hanging or whatsoever. Life's precious man. It's crazy. Our leaders are bad, but the people are evil. That guy's comment was very wreckless and evil. I don't wish him bad but looking at it, imagine an accident in the middle of nowhere and you were rushed to a FEDERAL MEDICAL CENTRE and they refused to treat you.

Abysmal comment that deserved to be deleted from that first page. Damn it.

Is the good Samaritan willing to give the hospital his identity in case no one else shows up for the accident victim?

Nigerian database is too poor to support hospitals treating accident victims in certain situations. Many of you might claim that I am heartless. But isn't the nurse also a human? What if the victim fails to pay after treatment and the hospital mandates the nurse to pay the bill?

What if police later gets involved and detains the girl when no one else shows up for the victim? In Nigeria, some legal actions have been criminalised and poor people are the victims. For a nurse to boldly refuse to treat the victim, even when she knows she is being recorded, she must have had many bitter experiences in such cases.

Those that attack me and wish that I get involved in a road accident have not been able to answer the question in my first paragraph. Their sentiments render their brains inactive. I never said that an accident victim should not be treated. The point is that whoever takes the victim to a hospital should give the hospital his or her identity in case no one else shows up for the victim. Anyways, whatever you wish me shall befall you in 100 folds unless you point out where I wish anybody bad.

I laugh at those who have quoted me and said I may have a road traffic accident on my next road trip. I had an accident in the year 2020. The moment it happened, I could not sit or stand. I sustained serious spinal injuries. I was rushed to a federal hospital around 3:30 PM. Something like a cast, maybe POP is the name, was applied to my thoracolumbar region, and an injection was given to me. Both the POP and the injection were bought by my uncle from a pharmacy outside the hospital. Then, I was left on a bed along a passage at the emergency unit. Only God knows why we met that bed there. No other bed along that passage. After about 2 or 3 hours, my uncle complained and questioned why I was still left along the passage. The medical record staff he spoke to called security to bounce him out of the hospital. Another accident victim was brought in around 11:00 PM. Around 3:00 AM, the relatives of that one angrily took him out to look for another hospital. I remained along the passage, groaning in pains until after 11:00 AM or 12:00 PM the next day because there was no network for the hospital to open a folder for me.

So many other pathetic events followed. Though I didn't lose sensation, no defecation and no urge for it for at least one week, I stopped having erection until after many months, my lungs felt deflated, no bathing for at least 4 months because my thoracolumbar region remained covered with the cast. I remained in bed for a while before I was mobilized on a wheelchair. But I never blamed the workers I met there because I understand that the system was not destroyed by them. This thing happened in the National Orthopaedic Hospital Enugu. So, the fools wishing me accident and the ones telling me about federal hospitals should know that I have been a victim. I contemplated euthanasia for myself because I never knew I would survive. I have suffered. I am leaving with pains. But I am not a sentimentalist. Glory to God. Now, I walk without crutches but can't lift heavy things or do so many things. I don't do physical exercise. I don't kneel down. But in all these, I am not sentimental and stupid like those of you that attack me here. I don't and will never scapegoat health workers. I blame them only when they are at fault.

Mr. Man you aren't kind hearted, why is it called Accident and Emergency department. It is the duty of the medical staff to stabilize and patient conscious or unconscious first before demanding for payment or opening files. That nurse on the video rejecting the A&E patient can be sued.


I and my friends have brought a patient that had Accident on a building site to a hospital. The filing machine cut through the patient veins on one of the foot.

We rushed the accident victim to the hospital A&E departure, the hospital staff accepted the patient, stop the bleeding, took the accident victim's blood for test incase of blood transmission, took care of the cut veins and closed up the cut. All this process took about 4 hours to stabilize the patient's injuries without demand a KOBO or asking for initial deposit.

It was after the patient was in at stable condition and the bleeding stopped before we were asked to open a file.

According to the staff, she said once a patient is brought to A&E and he or she is receiving treatment in A&E, they don't demand for money not until the patient leaves the A&E to Ward and that is how A&E should be. And mind you, this wasn't a government hospital.

This is unfortunately where we find ourselves in Nigeria. Health workers are among the most arrogant and irresponsible workers in Nigeria.
May God bless and reward the good ones.
This irresponsible behaviour has a lot to do with the poor leadership of the current Health Minister who is not known (to the best of my own knowledge) to have done anything tangible worth pointing at in the health sector.

May Allah bless the man that exposed this wicked and irresponsible behaviour.

It's our civic responsibility to engage in this sort of exposure when we come across such.

Please let's help make the video go viral.

Mrs. Woman, suit yourself. How many awards have you won as a most kindhearted person?

freeman67:
Oga first of all, this is an accident situation and not a gunshot situation. In this situations, instead of telling them it's not her job nothing stops for from calling the porter to come and carry the victim/patient. At least add some sense of urgency to it. Also, beware that even if you refused to help for the fear of arrest. If it written that you will be arrested others things will make them arrest you.

That said, you guys should stop threatening the whole nation that you are leaving always, If you leave others trained will do the Job. My only anger about you guys leaving is that many of you leave without resigning from government appointments. There given the government false/inflated number of employees. Once you leave another person go take over if you genuinely resign.

If you are going, ensure you go with all the people you are related to because they will be left in the hands of your other dissatisfied colleagues who will treat them the you treat other people.

You guys are always acting in this country like it's only us that use your services. As if you don't use other's professional services too.

I'm sure you didn't bother to watch this video before opening your mouth wide. She clearly called the porters to help carry the man,but the 'good samaritan' wanted her to carry the man herself and she said it's not her duty (which is correct)
I'm just letting you know some info,I'm not threatening u. If you feel so,then it's ur cup of tea. The new guys you are banking on taking over are all leaving too. In my fresh post MBBS days we wanted to do residency. Now even medical students are writing IELTS and then write PLAB/USMLE immediately after med school. And u expect them to take up the jobs left by us? You're funny 😁

ruggedtimi:
you talk well...People are quick to condemn medical workers in Nigeria without considering the reasons behind their actions. I know several doctors who have been arrested for treating emergency cases such as gunshot wounds, stab injuries, and accident victims.

lol... You failed to understand that you are in Nigeria and not immune to gun shots, accident, stabbing and other vices that can land you in emergency and accident unit. Lol.....

I hope you get this treatment that you support! That man was helpless for over 15 minutes with those medical workers doing nothing to help him.

When that day finally comes knocking on your door or the door of your loved ones. I hope you get his treatment.

Life is simple, you get what you support!.

I will only come here to repost and remember your full support.

Do you read at all? The man needed to be carried but the porters were nowhere to be found for some minutes. You expect those women to carry him? Make una dey think sometimes

Nigeria seems like a failed state if this is true so it begs the question, is this right? Is this how it's supposed to be? And is it why you're justifying the lackadaisical attitude of the nurses? If it's not their job to carry the critically down man, the people that were supposed to do the job, why were they not directed to do it. Why are there no porters? She said there are no gloves in the federal medical center. Is this true? The honourable minister must hear this. No gloves in a federal medical centre and no porters to help carry a dying man who needs intensive care immediately. Wahala dey oo

Too many questions begging for answers

For instance, we played a football match in North Ayrshire one time like that, I think around 2007 or thereabout. The opposition player had a cardiac arrest. He was rushed to a near by hospital. I can't even recall if it was a government or private clinic but they were incredibly swift. That was the first time I saw first hand how fast doctors and nurses can be if they really wanna help. The guy made it but later died because of same cardiac arrest two years later.

My point is; the ATTITUDE and INTENTIONS are very KEY!

National Health Act, 2014 – Section 20

> "A health care provider, health worker or health establishment shall not refuse a person emergency medical treatment for any reason whatsoever."

Violations of this provision attract penalties, including fines and imprisonment.

For a nurse to boldly refuse to treat the victim, even when she knows she is being recorded, she must have had many bitter experiences in such cases.


There is no legal basis for the Nigerian police to prosecute medical staff in the discharge of their duties. Any officer involved in such is liable to prosecution for abuse of power.

The nurse has no basis for being ON DUTY at an accident and emergency ward and not doing her job which is to save lives. ALL victims even criminals have a right to life as enshrined in the Nigerian constitution. If she has concerns about doing her job, she has a right to stay at home or search for other jobs.

We all know the constraints and structural issues inherent in the Nigerian system but at no time should we justify people contracted to discharge a duty not giving their best.

If the victim dies the family of the victim has the right to SUE the hospital in general and the nurse in particular for criminal negligence and or manslaughter.

correctguy101:
It's totally stoopid talk. Don't mind the werey.

I've been at LASUTH one midnight like that (we rushed a family member there) a not more than 13yr old was unfortunate enough to get wounded by stray bullets. The eediots refused to treat him without police reports. It was another older person that was also shot that was now fighting them. We couldn't take it and got involved, we sent someone to get police report and stood as a mob forcing them to administer treatment to both injured. We had to stay there until police arrived as we assured the medical staffs of us being witnesses to the event. That was two lives we saved that midnight.

The police are at fault for this, but allow me to also blame all involved for letting themselves be intimidated by an unlawful practice of the Nigerian police. Baba Buhari even condemned such nonsense and I thought a law was enacted to stop the practice of waiting for police report before treatment?

What a chaotic country, everybody just dey do as they like...

SMH

In this age a place like Abuja doesn't have Emergency line The capital city of Nigeria. If there's an accident the first thing normally is to call the Emergency line which involves the police and medical practitioners... solving the problem of police reports. Most of our politicians have live abroad for several years. Seeing how things worked over there. Yet they can't replicate a fraction of what they see over there in Nigeria. What a set of wicked, depraved humans.

Sorry about what you went through but thank God you survived.
I only wished you hadn't returned evil for evil in cursing those people.

If the ward is called accident and emergency then the hospital management should be questioned why there's shortage of manpower and working tools like common hand gloves.
As for the medical personnel in such a ward, humanity comes first before professionalism.
The man who brought the accident victims simply demonstrated humanity.

A shocking viral video has ignited outrage across Nigeria, showing a tense confrontation between a Good Samaritan and a nurse at a Federal Medical Centre in Abuja. After bringing a critically injured accident victim to the Accident & Emergency unit, the citizen is met with shocking indifference, as a nurse is caught on camera saying, "It's not my work" and refusing to help. This video highlights serious questions about medical negligence, the Nigerian healthcare system, and the duty of care owed to patients in a moment of crisis.

Nigerian hospitals are complex.

Technically, the nurse is right.


It is not her duty to bring out the patient from the car. Hospitals employ people called "porters" who it is their job to carry the victim from the car to the hospital bed, among other things.

The nurse's duty is to check the victim's vital signs once he is on bed and then notify the doctor who then clerks, examines and commences treatment.

We all have wrong notion of how public hospitals function.

Unfortunately, the porters who should do the job may be nowhere to be seen or may have a bad attitude. I've seen this first hand too. And the blame ultimately lands on the wrong person.

In many hospitals, the porters are "too big" for the job, yet they won't resign. To get them to do their work is very difficult. Thus, putting the nurses, who are their direct supervisors, in trouble. Perfect example is this video.

That's why I said Nigeria public hospitals are complex atimes. Many things are wrong.

I cannot blame the Nurse. She didn't create the rot. Moreover, I'm certain she is acting on instruction of her superiors. Those are the people that we should blame.

Both the POP and the injection were bought by my uncle from a pharmacy outside the hospital. Then, I was left on a bed along a passage at the emergency unit. Only God knows why we met that bed there. No other bed along that passage. After about 2 or 3 hours, my uncle complained and questioned why I was still left along the passage. The medical record staff he spoke to called security to bounce him out of the hospital. Another accident victim was brought in around 11:00 PM. Around 3:00 AM, the relatives of that one angrily took him out to look for another hospital. I remained along the passage, groaning in pains until after 11:00 AM or 12:00 PM the next day because there was no network for the hospital to open a folder for me.

So many other pathetic events followed. Though I didn't lose sensation, no defecation and no urge for it for at least one week, I stopped having erection until after many months, my lungs felt deflated, no bathing for at least 4 months because my thoracolumbar region remained covered with the cast. I remained in bed for a while before I was mobilized on a wheelchair. But I never blamed the workers I met there because I understand that the system was not destroyed by them. This thing happened in the National Orthopaedic Hospital Enugu. So, the fools wishing me accident and the ones telling me about federal hospitals should know that I have been a victim. I contemplated euthanasia for myself because I never knew I would survive. I have suffered. I am leaving with pains. But I am not a sentimentalist. Glory to God. Now, I walk without crutches but can't lift heavy things or do so many things. I don't do physical exercise. I don't kneel down. But in all these, I am not sentimental and stupid like those of you that attack me here. I don't and will never scapegoat health workers. I blame them only when they are at fault.

I totally agree with you. The Nurse is not the villain here, but those who made it so.


Sorry for the bone injury you suffered. Bone injuries are a nightmare. One hardly recovers fully from them.

Jonathan:
This is exactly how most of these Unfortunate medical staff behave. Very careless, reckless and negligent.
They always complain about salary, whereas doctors are the most paid civil servants relatively, and other medical staff are paid high too compared to other civil servants.

Do you think they act on their volition? Don't blame the puppets. Blame the puppet master.

Did you watch the video,she said it's not her Duty. She didn't refuse to help.And she's right,it's the duty of the porters. I'm a doctor and porters are the ones that lift sick and injured patients to hospital wards. It's not the nurse or doctor's duty.

Haba now, someone that's not his 'duty' help with his car to carry a patient it's now a doctor that will said it's not my duty to carry a patient. We are not talking about a duty here it's to save life. Haba why are people like this. Imagine a neighbour said I'm not a fire man so I won't quench fire in your house haba.

Nigerian hospitals are complex.

Technically, the nurse is right.


It is not her duty to bring out the patient from the car. Hospitals employ people called "porters" who it is their job to carry the victim from the car to the hospital bed, among other things.

The nurse's duty is to check the victim's vital signs once he is on bed and then notify the doctor who then clerks, examines and commences treatment.

We all have wrong notion of how public hospitals function.

Unfortunately, the porters who should do the job may be nowhere to be seen or may have a bad attitude. I've seen this first hand too. And the blame ultimately lands on the wrong person.

In many hospitals, the porters are "too big" for the job, yet they won't resign. To get them to do their work is very difficult. Thus, putting the nurses, who are their direct supervisors, in trouble. Perfect example is this video.

That's why I said Nigeria public hospitals are complex atimes. Many things are wrong.

That's the main reason why they need the attention of the Honourable Minister. Secondly as humans when it comes to life or death please forget about duty God knows best that He assign you in that position. Please endeavor to save life with the little you can as fast as possible.

Whenever I wake up, I'll always thank the man that facilitated my travel to Scotland in 2001 when Japa was not really a thing.

I went through what that guy wrote and I was like, are we for real, see people wey Una dey share country with ooo. You read that and you wonder why Nigeria is as it is.

No be private hospital ooo, no be state hospital ooo nah FEDERAL MEDICAL CENTRE FOR Federal Capital Territory LMAO 😂 😂 😂

The other one say e sabi doctors that were arrested for treating wounds and stabs. Thank God I left these fcckin clowns.

Imagine being stabbed and rushed to a federal medical centre in the capital city but you were not treated because of excuse akaria. Lol

Things are very different here in Scotland. Nigeria needs serious reorientation walahi.

Experience is indeed the best teacher!!!

Please we need people like you to be sharing their experience over there so that others can learn.

There is no hospital where a doctor is responsible for carrying a patient into the hospital. You can blame the person's responsible for not being around but certainly not the doctor. That woman is the doctor. The man doing video is very dramatic she never said she was not going to treat the patient. This narrative is just out of anger.

Carrying a patient now become a problem to a doctor. Nobody is saying it's her duty but to save life. Normally ambulance suppose to carry the patient from the accident site but we don't have such, atleast someone help she should have do the accident victim a favour and carry him.

I want to work in a radio station in UK. I want to be a presenter there.
How can i process my travelling?

A shocking viral video has ignited outrage across Nigeria, showing a tense confrontation between a Good Samaritan and a nurse at a Federal Medical Centre in Abuja. After bringing a critically injured accident victim to the Accident & Emergency unit, the citizen is met with shocking indifference, as a nurse is caught on camera saying, "It's not my work" and refusing to help. This video highlights serious questions about medical negligence, the Nigerian healthcare system, and the duty of care owed to patients in a moment of crisis.

Everybody keeps shouting the nurse is wicked where as that person a medical doctor and the main problem here is a system failure,in a country where things work emergency treatment is supposed to be free for the next 24hrs for the purpose of saving lives after which relatives can come forward to take responsibilities, although the doctor was supposed to show empathy by involving other team members to move the patient out of the vehicle for better assessment, obviously it's a failed triage system, paramedics are supposed to be on ground to lift patients and render assistance, doctors and nurses are not meant to be carrying patients, there are trained personnel for that,you don't just lift patients anyhow, it could be a spine injury which could further be aggravated, healthcare system in Nigeria needs overhauling.

My mother was a nurse and a hardworking one at that full of compassion and always willing to help patients even when it's past her duty time. She was well known for her hardworking nature by both her colleagues and patients that came to the to Fmc Ebutte meta then. It's a pity they don't make them like that anymore.
Today we have greedy, soulless and people that lack empathy in the medical profession. They are only there for the money and not the passion to save lives. Even the government is not helping matters.
Pray for good health at all times. Falling I'll as an average Nigerian is dangerous.
