Work-Related Stress Can Kill You, Study Finds


Nigeria is heading to a pit and our leaders don't even care...

Doctors are leaving the country. Engineers are leaving the country... Almost all professionals want to leave the country... Why? The environment is not enabling...
Nigeria is the killer of dreams.

And somebody will ask why Nigerian Doctors and medical personnel are running away from d country

woow that's hardcore

There's more to his death than just performing four surgeries.
Perhaps he had a heart condition.

That is too much workload.....

Too sad.

RIP Doctor!

Another Hero

Shey doctor suppose die
?
God is never a partial God...
Imagine a doctor that saved four life dead.

Rest in peace Doc.

He must have felt that he has reached his limits, but out of patriotism and love for his work and his patients on the table of surgery, he wanted to go on.

Wish you everlasting rest. RIP.


I call on the government at State and Federal levels to employ more doctors and appropriately reward their efforts and service to humanity.

Na govt kill am, wetin happen!

Always take time off when super tired. The dead tell no tales.

Eyaa

Upon overworking themselves govt still pay them peanut

Rip man

Rip

Don't tell me you are absolving village people of this heinous crime

Some surgery last for 10hrs. How long were these 4 cases?

Some people don't know when to quit, that is why they quit eventually.

The True Heroes

Stress!
May God rest his soul and comfort the family he left behind.

Hope the hospital had medically approved resus trolley, and enough resus team?

After all his colleagues checked out, due to deliberate underfunding of the health sector by the government. In time not too distant, our medical facilities would be manned by dairy farmers ...........
