The way people come online to write nonsense and discredit people is terrible, why are we like this?

I work in a hospital, and I particularly know how this nurses (especially the older ones) could be so mean, arrogant, insolent and violent with doctors (especially the junior ones) perhaps the believe that this one na small pikin, and they treat them with utmost disrespect.
This NEVER happened! A house officer, will never assault an ACNO, despite what this doctors face, I have never seen a case where any of them went physical. In most cases, those older nurses know many people in high powers, so the younger doctors stand no chance.
It just pains me so much what was written here, it's really hurtful. I understand the whole scenario and it's not alright when people distort a story against other people.

The story of slapping her for asking to document for not catheterizing a patient is even stupid, follow a HO outside to tell him how documentation is important, that will NEVER happen with those nurses. If them no use mouth finish u for patient front.

Please stop all this nonsense of tarnishing people's name, please, it's unfair.

I know
But since the doctor has already started using it on a patient, there was no need dragging it with the doctor, she should have wait, take the equipment home after the treatment. That is what any good person would have done, put yourself in the patient shoes. Her act also shows she was selfish, that may have angered the doctor, although the doctor was wrong.

Read the post well. Doctor was using the sphyg on himself and not on a patient

The doctor used the sphygmomanometer on himself not a patient. You didn't read the whole thing before you made your first comment.

Selfish on top her property? I hear.
That's how they become a menace to themselves, the junior doctors, patients and other health workers when they become a consultant. There likes do stay in Nigeria anyway so they can continue to flex stupid muscle
Is the doctor not a human being??
Sometimes I wonder how u people reason with so much selfishness. Since the doctor was already using it, why not wait and collect it after using it? Don't u think that is what any good person would have done? The doctor is wrong, but the nurse in question is also not a good person.

true, doctor was wrong in assaulting her twice. nurses and doctors document different. i do not think any doctor will tell any nurse how to document. i think nurse should not be telling doctor what to document. people should know their professional boundaries.
on spyg, it was wrong for the nurse to disconnect the spyg while the doctor was using it even if it belonged to the nurse.
You are correct twice is bad 2 is not a good number.
If you are going to assault someone you have do it at least 3 times

[quote author=TriliOne post=86173555]The incident happened on the 4th January which was on a Saturday, the house officer was said to be using the digital sphygmomanometer which belonged to the A.C. N.O in question to check himself. The A.C.N.O however asked him to stop using the sphyg as it belonged to her because he had a previous history of assault against her which she didn’t report. He ignored her & continued using it. This surprising disobedience and force for use of her personal item prompted her to disconnect the cuff on his arm from the machine and carried it (the machine) waiting so he can give her the cuff, however the describable aggressive House Officer unexpectedly, removed the cuff and used it to flog the Assistant Chief Nursing Officer on her neck up to her cheek, enough that she sustained injury on her neck.

The doctor in his aggressive suit also attempted to beat the second Nurse around who the scene tried to intervene upon sighting the scene of embarrassment. This happened at the A&E (Casualty) unit of the hospital on that fateful Saturday.

When I spoke with the affected Chief, she said she has written to the MD and Head of Clinical Services (H.C.S) through the H.O.D of Nursing Services Department. The best the H.C.S could do was to ask the House Officer in training- Nnanna Njemanze to apologize to the Nurse. I also asked her about the issue of a previous assault on her by the same h.o. She told me that towards the end of December, 2019, Nnanna Njemanze came to catheterize a female patient at the Casualty but the patient refused the procedure, hence she encouraged him to document patient’s refusal but he told her in exactly remembered sentence: “shut up! who are you to tell me what to do?”.

When they came aside, she went ahead to talk to him personally on the importance of his documentation to help exonerate himself from any negative implication and went ahead to wash her hands in the sink. While she was doing so, he gave her a slap on her ear from behind which affected her left ear and eye.

Everyone present were surprised and she merely spoke to him not to try it again as it was wrong. Only for him to take a step further barely 2 weeks from his first crime! If Nnanna Njemanze, a house officer could behave this way, it therefore means by the time he becomes a consultant, Nurses would have to run away from him and don’t forget, he may be in any hospital in any part of Nigeria for that matter. He didn’t even consider the age of the woman in question! Check how many years in service it would have taken her to climb to the level of an A.C.N.O (at least 12-13 years or more) definitely before Nnanna Njemanze entered the University to study Medicine.

Most annoyingly was another House Officer I personally approached at F.M.C about this issue and he told me precisely “forget that matter, e don die, dem don kill am. Nothing dey happen”. Really?, could that be true? Simply because he’s a doctor, the MD a doctor, the HCS also a doctor? Is that the reason for the high level of clear injustice?? But if that Nurse had retaliated, they would have known that Civil Service rule applies and the Nurse would have been going from one disciplinary panel and committee to another until they terminate her job.

Now, nobody has arisen to take strict action on this because he’s really not worth it. Such a person is a threat to other health workers, does not exhibit any knowledge of work place ethics and cannot relate healthily with other health workers. If you’re interested in this matter, you’re highly welcome to investigate this yourself.

The problems in this country are multiple. One of which is that we have so much reluctance to seek legal redress, it gets annoying sometimes. Why on Earth has that woman not sued the irresponsible house officer. She has a remedy in tort, can claim damages and that same action constitutes an offence. Why hasn't he been sued, I keep asking.

Nobody is doing anything for a Nigerian Nurse. These Nurses are so damn rude. I can bet my balls she was rude to this doctor in question. I've had encounters with them. She must have been looking down on this said doctor prolly cus his a young one, is a norm in the civil service. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A NURSE THAT'S NOT RUDE, NEVER. She's now claiming the victim. She must have been rude while dragging that machine and also talking to that doctor in a rude way probably cus his a young doctor. That doctor should quide himself in prayers, she will soon start fighting him spiritually

Baba stop peddling lies. Doctors are the highest paid health sector workers anywhere in the world including the almighty United States.
This your myopic and ignorant rant speaks volume about your IQ .
Even if Ben Carson wishes to come here to practise Medicine , he would need to write licensing exams .It's the norm everywhere in the world.
May thunder strike you anyday you submit yourself to be treated by a Nigerian doctor .
Nigeria is definitely not just home to the highest number of poverty ravaged people in the world, it is also arguably home to the highest number of ignorant folks in the world .smh

That said, the matter should be investigated appropriately without prejudice.

Re: Doctor Assaults Senior Nurse In FMC, Owerri by DEXTROVERT: 7:10pm On Jan 28, 2020
Reasons why the Nurse could be wrong.

1. Being an Elder in the profession, She knows Nurses and Doctors have superiors in each profession, hence no matter how junior a doctor is especially HO, Its ethically wrong to take instructions from nurses especially with respect to patient management. He will rightly inform his seniors about the patient refusal for catherization. But she taunted by repeatedly telling him what to do.......and the doctor replied by slapping her......Only a crazy person will just look at you and slap you for saying so.

She obviously harbour grudges from previous encounter that the doctor rejected her advices...hence she is tempered that she doesn't want the HO to use her Sphyg..that's so immature of a Mum she claims to be.

Next the guy starts beating her.....imagine..


I'm sure there's no video evidence of the above.
I'll advice the young doctor to make more money by sueing her for defamation of character, Libel .

Otherwise she should sue the young man for assault.

Health workers are supposed to show more compassion, but with a Blackman the case is different. She knows the purpose the doctor was using it for was for health reasons, that is more than enough reason any considerate human being should have waited for the doctor to finish using it. The doctor over reacted & was very wrong of him, but u see the nurse in question, she is not a good person.
