midnighter: You can't compare how engineers, architects, police etc interact with and handle human life to the doctor's own role. Doctors' interactions are more intimate, more scrutinised, definitely more judged. Their actions will always be under a microscope even if the government writes and enforces good policies. |

Motunemotun:Have you stopped going to church or mosque because you've heard the message before? It is for emphasis or re-enforcement or encouragement or reminder. In safety, for instance, we give pep talk 5 mins everyday before comencement of work, reminding workers the same safety tips that they already know....Nigerians una too d form sabi with arogance...Afterall you are a pharmacologist abi?...There's nothing wrong in telling you what you already know! 1 Like |

Yonce: Yeah, you are right about that. And more respected too, hence the higher expectation on them. Heavy is the head that wears the crown... But at the same time they can't be expected to work miracles in a faulty system. The patient:doctor ratio in this country is terrible and their workload is too much. If conditions were more conducive they would do better |

Segkem2013: Basically you're afraid pointing out the perceived grievance would expose your shallow understanding, hence this prevarication. |

trilobite: You are referring to a defibrillator. Well you dont need that or an ECG to confirm death. No pulse, no breathing, no success with CPR = Death Your story is as implausible as they come. |

Doktajay5: A brilliant case in point. Nigerians never accept responsibility for poor decisions made, rather there is a frantic attempt to blame someone else. Condolences to the OP of course, but I bet he did not forget to pay the taxi driver, or pay for petrol on the way, or pay at the toll gate, or pay for airtime in order to inform the extended family to come to hospital and so on and so on. But as soon as he arrives the hospital, he expects to be accepted and the bills settled later, conveniently unaware that a hospital is a business establishment like any other. Unfortunately we haven't got free healthcare, and government will struggle to find the moral licence to mandate hospitals to treat all emergency cases pro bono. And this is what the man on the street should really be campaigning for. 1 Like |

passion007: Now that is the problem!!! Go abroad and see how they certify dead people. You think they just do all those things you mentioned and leave the patients like that?!! Western medicine had this same problem, that is why you see ambulances in developed world equiped with heart monitors. Once they get a patient, he/she gets connected to the damn machine immediately!!!

trilobite: I'll reiterate that no pulse , no breathing, no success at CPR = Death. You watch a lot of movies but seem ignorant about the science behind it. The machines you're referring to are defibrillators to deliver shocks and attempt to restart the heart. That is part of CardioPulmonary Resuscitation. Well, I think you have started to answer your own questions. You now realise that the implausible situation you've posted has no basis in science and not in any way an indictment of the Nigerian doctor which was your opening salvo. |

Respect55: U sound arrogantly ignorant... Ur emptyness is top notch. U simply don't understand where you are. I will leave you to ur stupidity and arrogance. U expect one Dr in the current Nigeria not to take calls because he is operating on you to save ur miserable life. OK he did and you ve been a live since then. What about u being alive? Mtcheww nuisance!!! For your information, u aren't anything close to leaving 1 Dr for you in Nigeria. Deal with the rot.. Ode! |

passion007: "Apart from performing many of the tests above, though with more reliable and expensive equipment, doctors or paramedics on the scene use technology. They hook a body up to machines that monitor heartbeat, brainwaves, and respiration. If you’ve ever watched a medical show you know exactly what they’re looking for: A flatline. Doctors may also do an ultrasound to see if there’s any heart activity". (https://www.everplans.com/articles/how-to-tell-if-a-person-is-actually-dead) Defibrillators are used to deliver shocks to revive. They are not used to monitor patient's heartbeat, brainwaves, or respiration. My beef with the doctor is in not using either method to confirm death before sending her to the mortuary. "I'll reiterate that no pulse , no breathing, no success at CPR = Death" Medical science has evolved beyond this your unreliable 20th century logic, which is the reason why cases like the girl's keep happening. Doctors should do more than check pulse, breathing, or CPR before certifying death. He probably didn't do a good job at any of them, hence his wrong death diagnosis. |
Re: Share Your Experience(s) With Nigerian Doctors by passion007: 6:45am On Nov 28, 2019 |
trilobite: The problem with your posts is that you think you know, but you don't realise how ignorant you sound, and I'm having to explain myself over and over. Search what a defibrillator is, then tell me what functions its capable of. You keep saying monitor the the heart, and you're unaware that's part of what a defibrillator does. It assesses the heart rhythm, then delivers a shock if it's a shockable rhythm. Search what CPR is, it involves basic and advanced life support, whether mouth to mouth, or use of defibrillator and artificial ventilation. Yes, one can be dead without a flat line aka asystole. Search pulseless electrical activity. One can have normal heart waves and be dead. There's more to medicine than you can find from cursory online reading. 1 Like |
