the way some of us reason baffles me. You killed your father. Why will you rush to a private hospital at 1am without money or health insurance scheme coverage. Are you alright? Can you rush to a supermarket without money? You guys should have some sense please.

Thank you!

Johnny1013:
can't really remember now but when I got to the pharmacist ,He just looked at it and said ' this one too much oooo

First, it was the Doctor gave you Ibuprofen for a headache (As if he committed murder doing so).

Now it is the pharmacist said the dose was too much?

What was the dose?
You don't know.

I am aware ibuprofen for an adult is usually 400mg, a pop, but can be as high as 800mg depending on circumstances.

So how are we sure you even know what you are saying, egbon?

Johnny1013:
Better person,his dosage go kill me lol....Na him dosage wey he give me na him be the Matter

How you know say the dosage go kill you?
Did you complain to him that you think the dosage was too much so he could explain his reasons to you?

Next time if you visit doctor, anything wey you nor dey comfortable with complain and tell am because las las na your body and doctor fit make mistake.
He's not God.

One of them. You have been seen.

anselm791:


you studied nothing close to science you said, know nothing by implication, and expect me to believe you corrected the "ignorance" of a doctor
you my friend are a definition of foolishness and pride with all due respect.

Virus99:
I had typhoid based on the test result... And the Doctor's only solution is drip.
Even before the test result came out, he already put me on drip.

He was about to give me the 5th drip in just 2 days... When my brothers refused.

The man is notorious for giving people drip.

I heard someone fell into a well, upon the person's rescue and taken to the same hospital the doctor was busy administering drips!

Imagine! Someone rescued from inside water and yet being hammered with water

The one inside well was not the living water.
Choi!

drlaykay:

You see, most people's comment here is borne out of ignorance.. Some believe the way they think is the way the doctor should think also.
Someone was talking about typhoid and appendicitis which are close in diagnosis. Funnily, the person could actually be having appendicitis and get better on the same antibiotics prescribed for the typhoid and end up not needing surgery.
Some blaming a doctor for adverse drug effect.
Someone said what he had was symptoms of high cholesterol but the doctor said something else. Cholesterol has no specific symptoms.
Someone said the doctor was already giving him drip before the test result which is a standard practice. You don't wait for result most times before administering fluids.

One said he was given ibuprofen for headache by a doctor. So what do u want for an headache he probably think it's primary?
Abrg Nigerians have failed this doctors' effort I must say
One woman went to Facebook to condemn the doctor seeing her relative. Blasted the doctor for giving glucose containing fluid for someone who was suffering from diabetes.
That is a very correct management cos at a point in managing diabetes complications you ensure you add a dextrose fluid because of the insulin. So your patient wont have sudden low sugar which kills faster..

And I wonder why they are only talking about the bad experiences...
95% of my patients leave my office daily saying thank you wholeheartedly...
Doctors propose to the government what should be done to improve the health system and its not done.
Hypocrites will not channel their brunts against the government but the doctors working under terrible conditions...
When they completely leave the country and it gets to a point where u need to kidnap the few remaining in order to answer to your need only then will they undersand.
Or you think oyinbo doctors will strive here? They will fail big time under this harsh condition.
There are bad ones but it's not as bad as it's being stated.
Give kudos when necessary

Thank u Leke!!!!

trilobite:
Happened to a very good friend of mine:

One girl slept didn't wake up and was rushed to the hospital. The doctors ran tests, and did all they could (in their illiterate mind) before confirming her dead.

The mum however refused the hospital moving her daughter to the mortuary, insisting she was alive. Now when someone dies a final injection is given to the corpse before the body is moved. The mum fought tooth and nail against it's administration.

The family ordered one of their doctor sons in the USA to come back and run a final check on his sister. He took an immediate flight and arrived a few days later. Now note throughout all this the girl's body was covered on the hospital bed like a dead corpse.

Dude came in, didn't even need any fancy equipment, just checked her body and confirmed.....SHE WAS ALIVE!!!! He ordered specific tests, gave her some injections after which she regained conciousness.

The incident still scares me to this day. If not the family had him, the hospital would have killed their daughter. How many people who are in a worst financial situation have suffered a worst fate?

God help us.

So the girl was kept on a hospital bed for those days?

I thought Rigor Mortis sets in after a few hours, then the body starts decomposing ( or was she put in the morgue)

I don't want to say it's a lie, but it sure sounds like a poorly scripted Kannywood story!

anselm791:


why you sef no use Google.

A particular hospital in lekki did that to me.

femi4:
Ibuprofen is a very strong pain killer. Not to be administered unless in a severe cases

Shut up!

Are you the doctor that diagnosed him? How did u know it wasn't a strong pain??

lebete3000:


So what should the Pathologist do?

Funny enough, there was nothing like Med Lab Scientist before oh, those were the days quality results were being churned out, but to cut costs nowadays, na so dem bring these guys, now na different result you go dey everywhere.

Guys wey no even sabi do blood film sef, guys wey go dey diagnose Typhoid with that irresponsible test called Widal. Na them pollute the average gullible Nigerian mind sey Widal na Typhoid test, not knowing many illnesses can also give an elevated Widal result.

The use of widal is helpful, when used serially with help from the clinical features majorly.

But when hatred for the Nigerian doctor is already established as a foundation, all you tell them enters one ear and goes through the other.

I've always adviced Naija docs that the only way they can be appreciated is to leave the country, people never know the value of what they have until they lose it.

Any naija doc who's spent 5years post graduation and is still in Naija has his/herself to blame for any rubbish being spewed at them by Nigerians.

Nigerians are simply an ungrateful set of people, shikena!

What are you saying bros?

The same typhoid people have been treating every 3 months for the past 10 years?!

Resistant typhoid!


I asked 2 people, from Mali and Senegal once, if they knew what typhoid is-- they had no freaking idea.

But in Nigeria, everybody has typhoid until Widal test proves otherwise--

I have seen typhoid a few times and it is scary as hell!

maiahsaiah:


You needed to modify to sound savage, ok...seen

Keep looking for unnecessary attention in my mentions, okay? I guess youre starved of it at home. Idiot

Sabicleaners:
One of them. You have been seen.

hahahaha.
are they not supposed to be proud and arrogant?
I for dey hang am for my neck.

midnighter:

folks come on, language!

most people here are abusing doctors. Ask yourself? Are you dedicated to duties in your respective offices? Many professionals have contributed to death of citizens directly or indirectly due to their unprofessional conduct than doctors? Architects,civil engineers,autotechnicians ,teachers, lecturers, uniformed men,bankers etc are also guilty of professional neglect. if you are corrupt,your action or inaction can harm someone.
Doctors are products of society that does not appreciate values and good morals.
You are actually not different from doctors you are blaming.

RonaldoVido:


Did any of them toast you ?

Yeah! Too bad. Its a conflict of interest and not professional at all

IgbosNIGHTMARE:

Shut up!

Are you the doctor that diagnosed him? How did u know it wasn't a strong pain??

Lol. I cant believe somebody is complaining so bitterly that they gave him Ibuprofen for a headache.

Next time when they give him flagyl for his stomach he will also complain haha

Fvckmoderators:


A particular hospital in lekki did that to me.

you should be glad a doctor wants to check google before treating you, it comes from a place of humility wanting to be absolutely certain.
but again, what do I know?

chukel:

Do not mind them as if they can even offer services or sell products to strangers on credit. emergency preparedness involving having emergency funds at hand. people are hypocrites

Juliearth:




Smiles! That is another name for Viral gastroenteritis. A condition characterized by heavy stooling( watery) and vomiting almost at the same time. The patients lose body fluids and in severe cases will have to be administered drip.

Thank you. I guess this learning never ends

onyxo76:
from my experience most patients are not happy when you give only one or two drugs that will be okay, they will still consult another doctor who add some more drugs for them

Well that must be due to the overprescribing culture that makes them think that unless theyre swallowing 5 tablets, they are going to die.

Unless theres something really wrong with you you should only need 1 or 2 medicines.

Sometimes they dont even need anything but good advice

anselm791:

folks come on, language!

Oga, what language..? Cant you see she needs clarification I am simply explaining to her what an idiot she is, so that she can understand herself better. Maybe the doctors here can also help her clear her brain

passion007:


Haha just dead ridiculous!

Simple question, did you witness this?
If no, which I'm sure is the case, then I can only tell you that as a ball grows by rolling, so does a story.

First, do you think the doctors were remotely capable of doing something as basic as listening for heart sounds, or observing for evidence of breathing. My 90 year old grand mother can do that for context.
If so, then be aware that if the heart stops for 3 minutes, then brain function ceases, and one is technically dead. Yet you say she kept going for 3 days.

Your story therefore is implausible. The fact that baby girl is alive is in itself no credence to the ridiculous story.

You know what? If it didn't happen to someone I was so close to, I'd probably doubt like you because nobody doubt pass me for this life.

But stuff really happened!! My friend was the one taking care of the girl's mother at the hospital through the ordeal.
She called me crying one moment, and celebrated the next. The girl in question is with her big bro now in the states.

The hospital didn't have those pulse checking equipment like you see in Hollywood movies!! So everything was based on the doctor's personal check. One medical person I put it to, said it happens sometimes.

I am not going to give the name of the hospital in Kubwa Abuja, though I took a personal note of making sure people close to me flee from it.

You can't compare all those professions you listed above to doctors.

I mean it's human life they deal with.
You CAN'T be too careful.
Most of these complains might be exaggerated but that just serves to remind doctors that they're always going to be under a microscope as long as they practice medicine.

lebete3000:


If you're a doctor, then you're above all daft for trying to explain things to Nigerians. Nigerians are known for their rashness and see meticulous people as dull & stvpid.

If it doesn't sound scandalous, it's bullshit in the average Nigerian's ear.

Stoo wasting your time with them. Just endure them till you get enough dou to write your exams & leave, or better still own your establishment or business.

Lol, why am I the one attracting castigation for rushing to correct a wrong statement

That person was so wrong to mention that woman. Its like those British people just wanted to kill her

I understand what youre saying though. But I just couldnt stand it

Why is it so hard for people to look for the facts before condemning somebody? People will be doing jungle justice over the internet

DanDeeBoss:
Ho-hum

Hum-ho! Are you one of them?

Leave your woman patients alone oooo you hear?

Its not two females fighting. She quoted me from nowhere first and I answered her.

You should have looked for the original comment. Thats where you will see what a cud-chewing heifer she is!

midnighter:

Do they wear wedding rings that he should leave them alone? Your sisters don't put on their wedding ring since marriage? Are they all his patients? (answer pls no offence)

EasternPrince:

Haha, again, showing that youre an illiterate bushman!

If you had ever been anywhere outside of Mushin you would know that its prohibited for a doctor to pursue a romantic indulgence with his patient. Its an abuse of power.

I guess your Texas hallucination is looking kind of implausible now, huh?
