She has not done the surgery because when I fly her out they told us they cant do it for anybody less than 18 years because of her future. But she is ok waiting to go back there after 2 years for the surgery. Thanks for the concern.

Two times a doctor would have killed me undecided a pharmacist saved my life smiley
I’ll rather consult a pharmacist now sef abeg



Coming from a pharmacologist that served in a hospital pharmacy department for a year , I’ve seen many things sha undecided

What you said is true.

Pharmacists are the real deal. I consult them too.

Most doctors in Nigeria are like Auto Mechanics. Using Trial and Error.

One thing I do when I go any hospital is to ASK QUESTIONS about everything,if you can't answer me and explain well I leave immediately, I check every drug,injection and drip and SHOUT any conditions the person have. Any treatment I am not comfortable with I reject at once.

I once took my cousin to a general hospital like 2003 .Every one at home had travelled. After the whole stress of waiting to see doctor and registration in the general hospital. My cousin slept off on the bench and woke up later and became well. We no later see the doc. grin

Next time just visit a big pharmacy that has a resident pharmacist working there.

It works like magic. With N2k to N5k you purchase the drugs that will handle your ailments.

Bleep hospitals.

With Hausa as President, don't expect a revamp in any institution. They are the most daft, most backward race in Nigeria. Nigeria will never Progress as long as Hausa still hold the position of Power. Nigeria is stunted. You cannot have the best University, they are backward. No institution in the North is classified best in anything, Nepotism is their styles, where they remove every southerner and put a dull person in every position of Power
It has been going on for too long and the Intelligent Ibos and Yorubas are just too docile to reject the rubbish

Don't blame the Doctors, they are working under a terrible circumstance

*In my country, Nigeria, Ibo men are looking for money... And they have it...*

*Yoruba men are looking for education...*
*And they have it...*

*Hausa men are looking for power...*
*And they have it...*

*But the Hausa men are controlling both those with money and those with certificates...*

*A man in power can control a man with money and with degrees...*

*You can hate a man with power...*
*But you are still under him...*

*You can speak grammar more than him...*
*But you are still under him...*

*Just one decision he will make can affect your source of money...*

*If he gets angry and effects a policy, all your degrees might be useless in your hands...*

*That is why all Jesus promised His disciples was not money or scholarships...*

*But He said: "And ye shall receive power..."*

*Because He understands that there are powers...*

*Don't just pray for promotion in the office ..*
*Pray for promotion in the school of Power...*

*They can raise your salary, yet, a 9-year old girl with demonic powers can be controlling how you spend the salary...*

*Your father might have ended the way he did because of powers that fought him...*

*What your family is passing through might be because of inherited powers ...*

*Thank God for your degrees and business ideas...*

*But ma/sir, look for the Power of God ...*

*As you go to church don't ask God for money as usual ...*

*Cry to God for His Power...*

*How far could the Apostles have gone in life without the endowment of the Power from on High? ...*

*Can you see why Jesus told them not to move an inch without the power?...*

*Don't you think that what you are going through in that business or marriage is because you went in without the power of God?...*

*You need the Power of God...*

*If you are reading this, God might be depending on you to change the condition of your family...*

*School degrees and business ideas might have failed...*

*Can you cry to God for His power this day? ..*
Are you sure you read the label of that stuff you took very well? Them dey discuss something important you dey talk another thing

God rest his soul. Money wouldnt have made a difference. Na their way. They killed my mum. We paid everything. We did everything the monkeys asked of us. Na so dem dey transfer the poor woman like money. We were ready to fly her out one my cousin, an idiot doctor like the rest said its not necessary. Na so we siddon dey listen to english.


Then that's how they almost killed my uncle's daughter. One useless peadiatrician consultant declared that there is nothing that can be done to the little girl that my uncle shouldnt even bother flying her out. The man still flew her out. Within 48 hours the little girl was well.

Yea Bro, we thank God, but my concerns was that they have did the same surgery to many kids of age 10 and 12 there in that hospital and the doctors suppose to know that is not good for them, but I guess is cos of the money involve.

May God saves us jare.

What you said is true.

Pharmacists are the real deal. I consult them too.

Most doctors in Nigeria are like Auto Mechanics. Using Trial and Error.

You go to pharmacist, they keep treating you symptomatically.
You are happy the symptoms are suppressed. You get unlucky to come down with the complication of the real cause of the the symptoms
Then you are asked to see a doctor to perform magic on a disease you already thwarted the classical presentation.
Doctor battles with linking your atypical presentation to a diagnosis...it becomes trial and error.
In the process, time is wasted, and a damage ensues which again doctor tries to at least minimize....to you, bad doctor S/he is.
Please keep consulting the pharmacists, you reduce the workload for guys in the hospital. But when need arise to see a doc, please take full responsibility.

wrong hypothesis.
why are other Western countries welcoming Nigeria doctors then?

If a patient complains about you as a doctor abroad, you are finished. The fear of being investigated, suspended or having their practice withdrawn is what keeps Nigerian doctors on their toes abroad.

But they know nothing will happen in Nigeria.

Quality service delivery is anchored on strong supervision and it is lacking in the Nigerian Medical practice.

I was to see a Doctor while in 200L, after waiting for almost 2hrs a pretty female student came around, he attended to the lady. I told him it was my turn. In fact he returned my file to where it was brought. I went back to the hostel.

Seeing as you know so much about medicine, why don't you just treat yourself??

People go to hospitals to teach doctors and nurses their job, and expect to get a hug and a kiss. Seriously??
