how do you as a doctor satisfy one dead without running a proper check on him with equipment... he might be unconscious, they should have run a check on him, did they run CPR to ascertain if the person is not breathing or does not have a pulse... I always give up in Nigeria doctors

mogboyelade:
Is it proper for a doctor to certify a patient dead at the entrance of hospital gate?

nkwuocha:


You people are the problems with Nigeria.This attitude is just a ploy by hospital management go exempt themselves of further responsibility. In a saner clime, the hospital gates are opened to EVERYONE first even if dead. As long as the body is transported to the hospital, the gate should first accommodate the victim.

webincomeplus:

Yes. All I need to certify a patient dead are my stethoscope and my pen torch. You don't have to bring the patient into the hospital before I can check the patient with those. And I can quickly check for all signs of death within 30 seconds.

Nobody likes bad press. If I allow you to bring an already dead body into my hospital, what will start flying around is that he/she died right in my hospital or due to negligence on my part. Again, nobody wants to make the news for the wrong reasons, especially here in Nigeria where people "dive" into conclusion without verifying information.

nkwuocha:




Good logic. Infact,from the pictures it's clear that they NEVER treated the case as an emergency. First they had to go call the doctor to attend or check if he is dead. Very unprofessional twats!

emperormossad:
Bashing medical doctors and hospitals is a norm on NL. If they're not 'raping' patients, they're accused of negligence of duty or worse still, outright murder.
Why don't you all transfer your frustrations to the appropriate quarters: the FG that has refused to make your lives better.
What's the difference between checking him inside or outside, knowing the antecedents of patients' relatives who are quick to blame the hospital after spending all their money on quacks and unorthodox herbal patent dealers.
Now I see why madness is not time-specific. People can just wake up and continue from the previous day. No difference.

Not true, at least in the US.

At an accident scene, say electrician getting electrocuted, first responders will code him m dead and they’ll leave him there, not take him to hospital. The coroner will come and pick him up.

No hospital involved.

Nempi:
There's no emergency in a dead patient. I keep seeing emergency all over this thread

First I sympathize with friends and family of the victim the hospital fail to do this in the post. Secondly respect must be given to the dead and be treated with respect. Every second counts in an emergency. They could hv allowed victim to be taken in first b4 carrying out any examination and respectfully reveal he's dead and not assume he's dead first.

This wasn't an accident scene. HE WAS BROUGHT TO THE HOSPITAL! HE WAS BROUGHT TO THE HOSPITAL!!HE WAS BROUGHT TO THE HOSPITAL. And then what happened? A doctor had to be called from within, and of course I know how many Nigerians doctors can be stupid. I'm sure he NEVER treated the case as an emergency. It's unprofessional for a patient weda dead or alive to be certified dead outside the gate of a hospital. That's one of Nigerians madness we see everyday anyway.

Exactly! Check the time stamp on the CCTV, it took them four mins to attend to him. The time on the CCTV pic says a lot.

same question I was about to ask ,we take nothing serious in this country, even a first responder in a sane country, will not act like that, SMH . Why didn't they allow them in in the first place?

Nobody brings dead accident victims to hospitals here.

It’s a private hospital they are allowed to set their own policies.

The only reason I responded was just to show the fallacy in your comparison.

Trapnews:

You are a complete Mo'ron! People like you will never treat a patient with 30% chance of survival due to what people will say if he eventually die in your clinic. For every country that closes border, for every rich man that starve the poor and for every tyrant.... Hell is real! there will be no mercy for your souls

EgunMogaji:


An astute post. Brilliant.

Thanks.

Were the kids gunned down in Florida taken to a hospital to be certified dead or did the coroner certified them dead on scene?

frenzyduchess:
without sentiments, can you tell me why the gateman is holding the gate like its a beggar coming to beg for money in the first picture?.It gives any sane person viewing that picture that at no time from the very first minute they took the boy there did they treat it as an emergency.

Now in the Florida shooting, the first responders came with equipments ,and actually knew what to expect since patients were likeluminous to be hit by bullets, back to this scenario, an unconscious boy, meets a gateman who has no idea what to do, it take about for minutes for the doctor to stroll out without anything but his bare hands.

I get it sha, we are so used to wrong that it now feels right,so I get it
