passion007: Another terrible doctor spotted. Did you pass comprehension in school? Please read again and know what the doctor's fault was. I'm sure you hardly listen to your patients before administering prescriptions. 3 Likes |

Correcto: You simply have nothing to say bro. Continue to deceive the willingly gullible masses. I've said my piece in my 5th paragraph...we'll gladly leave the job for you guys. Just can't wait for the time you guys will take over management of the hospital from leadership to the lowest cadre. E go too funny meen... 1 Like |

midnighter: For you to still be asking this question shows you've not learnt anything about Nigerians. Your question is just like asking why the Devil is wicked. Are you a learner? The average Nigerian hates the prosperity of another and doesn't believe he can make it without pulling down someone else. Is that the kinda person you want to reform? Keep wasting your time oh, the only way Nigerians can learn is through suffering, that's why they respect anyone with a rifle than with words of wisdom... |

lebete3000: The lab scientist is supposed to work under the pathology department of the hospital. This was a method of outsourcing for cost since pathologists are expensive Im not really sure what happened that people just open labs anyhow Its more of a structural issue |

HBB1: No be una med lab scientist dey confuse dem? You see a patient telling you categorically she has typhoid, without even ordinary fever, I'll tell them if she can open her mouth to tell me she has Typhoid, it means she doesn't have it; she no go gree oh, until I waste her money doing Widal and giving antibiotics, thereby helping to make worse the plague of antibiotic resistance. Meanwhile Widal is NOT the diagnostic test for Typhoid. Syphilis, Malaria etc can all cause an elevated Widal titre. It is only serial Widal tests that even "speculate", not "diagnose" Typhoid. The confirmatory tests to do for Typhoid include Culture of the following samples: 1. Blood: within 1week of the illness. 2. Stool: within 2weeks of the illness. 3. Urine: within 3weeks of the illness. OR doing a Bone Marrow biopsy with a Trephine needle which is quite painful and complicated, requiring an Haematologist and Microbiologist to do most times. But you'll see people bringing a single Widal test result and saying they have Typhoid. Most times we diagnose Typhoid clinically(from the history taking) because of the stress one has to go through in making a diagnosis as explained above. Any fever that worsens at night and resolves in the day time is Malaria or any other illness until proven otherwise, definitely not typhoid. Any patient that's not bedridden even if they have fever is not Typhoid, could be anynother illness; but definitely NOT Typhoid. And Widal is not the diagnostic test for Typhoid, we only manage it if resource constrained settings, and one must uave serial tests, atleast 2 done to compare the rate of elevated titres in the space of 24hrs. An elevation above ×2 of the previous titre is "speculative" NOT diagnostic of Typhoid. The tests i wrote above are the diagnostic measures in defining Typhoid. I know all I'm saying will enter one ear & leave the other of Nigerians, but you won't say ya'll weren't told. 5 Likes |

InvertedHammer: That is because in the US system, after graduation, one would get into residency so doctors coming from Nigeria get into residency too. Similar duration of residency as is obtainable in Nigeria. The UK with a much more efficient and better health index than the US run a different system and doctors from Nigeria can practice there without getting into residency |

lebete3000: Lol why? The stool sampling and blood films and all that are an aspect of pathology. Most of that stuff is supposed to be done by a computer nowadays anyway If the hospital has a functioning biomedical science department that would be different |

adanny01: Lol. The lab should have prescribed the additional antimalarial they recommended. I'm still wondering why someone would have to take two different antimalarials together |

jedisco: The Dr in his prescription didn't include antimalarial. She we back to him with only the test result so he can prescribe an antimalarial for her against the one the lab recommended but the doc won't even look at her test result. |

midnighter: She's well free to ask questions and that's encouraged. Did u miss the part she said she would SHOUT what conditions she has. At that point, it's not a conversation anymore but one person being just annoying and difficult to deal with. And if you present yourself in that way, little surprise if you are treated with an attitude. |

trilobite: My dear, your post is very ignorant if I'm honest. It can convince other ignorant nigerians who are too reluctant to ask pertinent questions, but not any one with a rational mind. Theres nothing like a pulse checking machine to confirm death. Death is the absence of life and human beings have been good at that for decades. Now you tell me someone had no signs of life for three days and received one American wonder drug and popped right back to life. Seriously? |

Segkem2013: Can you point out what the grievance is then? Im waiting Doctors are not paid to be nice to you, they are there to treat you. If you are nice, they'll be nice to you too. If you come with an attitude, be ready for what you get. |

imolile: Kai... Where did you spring from? I had to save this page as I read your contents. You have spoken the truth. And it's not that some of us don't know this, but our consciousness and awareness are being taken away constantly by things that only God knows what. Also, does God even still trust this generation enough to give power again? It's as if God just dey watch us (don't let me say he's forsaken us). Also, many are scared of God's holy demands at the arrival of his presence in their lives... Abi I lie? 1 Like |

badboy92:you don't get it. Will you jump up and go to park or airport and enter vehicle or plane without paying. At least one has to keep funds for emergency services. If you can pay for card services and one or 2 things, any hospital will run extra investigations to even if you don't have more funds just to make sure you or your ward is ok. 1 Like |
