Those nurses are always too rude to patients.
I've not been to a hospital where I see a very warm and caring nurse.

Their attitude alone can even make the ailment of the patient worse.

Sad!

Boss13:


You can imagine. You look into their eyes and you see these nonchalant, "I don't care" attitude. They destroyed our health care system and want the government to fix it so they can destroy it again. Chief medical director will always pocket monies allocated to government hospitals, apart from pocketing ghost doctors salaries in the remuneration list.

There is a huge rot in our health care system perpetrated by these devils and vampires and they have the guts to throw tantrums at the government. Let them look at themselves in the mirror and be honest

Boss13:


That is the frustration I am talking about. Doctors pass the frustration to the nurses. Nurses, in turn, pass the same to Patients.

And then patients die.

please next time you and your family are sick kindly visit a babalawo. Can i hear an Amen to that? Idiot!!!!

dohyn:



I'm tired of explaining to you people. I did not exonerate the op from blame..read my first post.However, health services is not free anywhere in the world and emergency health services is not an exception. Somebody has to pay for it,be it the patient or the Govt. that's the ugly truth.
A good system is one in which the Govt pays for such services because it has the interest of it's citizens at heart. Problem with Nigerians is that we like free things and expect emergency treatment to be free because a life is at stake.
Blood transfusions would have kept that lady and others like her alive pending definitive treatment but will the op put his own blood into her veins? or because he is earning 150k/month(money that people spend in one night at clubs) he is supposed to pay for the blood?
stop being emotional about this issue and think rationally.You either continue ranting online or proffer solutions to the problem. I can assure you that these cases will continue to happen till we as a people demand a change from the policy makers.

p.s don't quote me again pls

Note:
first action: called other HOS
second action: called MO (for instructions), who on d spot asked him to TOUCH NOT/ABSTAIN FROM TREATMENT!
3rd action: He "was incapacitated" and so watched her die!
4th action: he took pictures of her corpse! #perv!

Note: NO mention made of ANY form of first aid!

Gawd. Look at a doctor's comment. See the insensitivity in the comment

He called me a murderer and a hydra headed monster. So if most drs are murderers in his school of thought he can kindly visit a babalawo. QED

Uten9z:

doc I am referring to someone's lame example that is trying to justify a murder situation here.

Leopantro:


But you are wrong. I am a doctor and I work in the Nigerian system. Let me give you a story.
Some time ago I delivered a pre-term baby that is a baby born at 24 weeks . Immediately after birth the baby stopped breathing. The hospital I worked with didn't have oxygen and the two incubators where in use. I used my own oxygen cylinder on the baby and did ambubagged that is cardiac massage in the baby for it to breath normally. We entered my car and rushed to LASUTH. We were told no bed space and were referred to LUTH. We drove to LUTH, parked at the car park and walked over a 7 minutes to the pediatric ward where we were told they had no free incubator and had no electricity supply. We were referred to a private hospital in Surulere where the consultant was not around. We decided to go back to our hospital to continue care for the baby. Please note that all this time I was doing cardiac massage on this baby while someone else drove. On our way back to the hospital, the oxygen finished, the baby turned blue and died. We got back to the hospital and the husband beat me up for not saving the baby. This happened 4 years ago ; till date I have not received a dime for what I did. This is what happens everyday.

Scholarforever:
There is no need trading blames here. The main problem is the Nigerian constitution which has no human human face. In saner climes laws are made for citizens and not d other way round.

PipSurgeon:
too many idiats on nairaland.... blaming the poor guy for not be adventurous enough, something medical schools dont encourage. though he has some query to answer. i wud av been glad if this rage is taken beyond this online rants and get the government to do the needful in ensuring adequate facilties and appropriate punishment for anyone found lacking in his DUTIES, BUT NOO it will just die down like dat.. How are we now Better than HIM,.. misplaced priorities..

Boss13:


He has a right to call you that, in view of the insensitivity shown so far. He is angry just like majority of the people here. The only indifferent ones here are you and your colleagues, who refuse to admit the error in your profession and general attitude and try to change the system, or at least, be the difference.

However, we have had remarkable doctors like the lady who gave her life for our safety during the Ebola outbreak - pure class, a remarkable professional.May her sweet soul rest in peace.

favoured234:


And the husband would have gone about telling everyone how he beat up the incompetent doctor that made him lost a child...
How I wish he can have a full knowledge of all you did so his soul will be tormented

safepassage2015:

Boss13:


I shake my head for you. Truly a disgrace to the medical field worldwide

safepassage2015:
please i noted your shrink is on his way to see you. If ur bipolar meds are finished, just relax a few minutes he will soon arrive and update ur medication. Try and listen to good music while u wait and avoid nairaland this morning so ur symptoms don't worsen

Boss13:


SHUT UP, SHUT UP, I SAY SHUT UP. I don't know you personally, but I know Nigerian doctors, whom I consider very wicked, inconsiderate, semi-illiterate, arrogant and still poor, potential murderers, who will never seek to add value, but will always blame the government for their inefficiencies.

mcluy:

Enough of these insults. You are not a Doctor. You don't have the slightest clue about what we face everyday. You guys come up here and accuse us endlessly. You guys need to chill. We're the ones in the system. We're the ones who face all the challenges. The healthcare system in Nigeria is in shambles. Govt ain't helping the situation and patients aren't either.

Wagasigiungu:

My guy, u r the one who needs to take a chill pill. Like seriously. What's with all the attitude. Who is being insulted? Just stating the obvious. We are brethren in this system. We al know the syste!m is in a rot. Not only the health sector is in shambles albeit, its a very important sector of any nations economy. And pray tell what is it that drs face everyday that other health care workers, the armed forces or even the avearge Nigerian doesn't face? We are all victims of the rot in the system. Don't always act the victim and learn to sheath ur sword. One love bro. E go better
P. S. Still being on the defensive. You just assumed anyone who opposes or speaks against u isn't a doctor. Smh.

murphyibiam15:

okay i get u....of course there is no clear justification for the death, is quite obvious

Boss13:


Please read that doctor's comment again. The hospital he works for do not have oxygen and the incubators are in use. Some people do not understand the implication of things. The Doctor is fortunate he got only a beating, if the man had sue, a beating will be less.

Let's stop the stupidity and look into the faces of these fools parading as doctors and tell them to go solve their problems and stop killing the public.

Let's stop the stupidity and hold the government responsible for allowing quack hospitals to operate in this country.

Let's stop the stupidity and tell the Nigeria Medical Association to raise the standard of their profession, uphold good moral and ethical standards and penalize ignorant, unethical, negligent and wicked doctors

Mumu na hell fire dey wait u after all d ppl u killed, 99percent of naija doctors r into medical practice for financial gain absolutely n all r still miserably poor most of u shld b traders nt doctors, since its all abt d money.

Dts y I will support serious pay cut for doctors, we need to have doctors who r into medical practice solely BC they love to say lives nt BC of Money

Anu ofia, morbid fools

favoured234:


Are you for real?
What more could the doctor I quoted have done?
He should have manufactured incubators and gotten a bigger oxygen bag and used mystical powers to keep the baby alive?
I didn't come here to justify anybody's behavior but then the people in question are humans and not some sort of gods
I have been in an emergency ward for some days and I saw some doctors to suffer for things beyond their control?

1. If anyone is looking for what an idiot actually means, I would point him or her to this comment. This is profound idiocy, no better way to describe.

2. It is sickening that if you are a doctor you are condoning the inept house officers actions. So attempting to stabilize a dying patient is being "adventerous". What sort of medical school trains these kind of pus-filled brain lunatics? Simply doing your job as a FIRSTLINE doctor is being adventerous? What school did you go to? Are you really this stuupid, or am I visually hallucinating what I just read?

3. This type would still embezell money if ever he becomes CMD and the problem continues. Government my foot! Bugger off, it is intellectually draining trying to knock some sense in your skull!

This is hilarious. You're really pained. If we're semi-illiterates, inconsiderate, very wicked etc, then why do you guys still run to Nigerian doctors? You might as well hire a foreign doctor to treat you. ... Oga take am easy ooo.
