Wealth gotten devoid of ideas can not lead Nigeria to the promised land!

After reading all the posts i would like to share a recent experience i had... My son was recently discharged from Lagoon hospital, when i got a call while at home from a doctor to please bring back the medications that they had prescribed for my son (a toddler) because he had reacted severely to one of the drugs in the past.... First thank God for the [b]out of patient medical review system at Lagoon[/b] and also that the Network was available and working and i was able to receive the call... Just imagine what could have happened if we had innocently administer the drugs to my son only for serious issues to start during the night, where do you begin, where do you rush him to..
The drug was replaced with another containing a different formulation.... but there are things i would love to praise Lagoon hospital for...
1. They have invested heavily in the use of information technology to improve their care of patients
2. The era of physically (manual) opening of files for a patient in different branches is no more... all patient have electronic medical records where any doctors in any of their branch can log on to and make a medical assessment.
3. It is easier to sort through lots of patients file history electronically, than the methods of piling heaps of files that probably would have faded away, illegible doctors scribble, missing sheets or papers eating away by cockroaches.
2, When you go to the hospital you get an sms alert indicating the date and time you came to the clinic. ( an area of improvement is for the alert to include the Dr. Name and phone number and area of specialization.
3. Another suggested area of improvement is that when you are given your drugs, the name of the drugs administered should be sent in form of an sms to your phone and via email. Believe me in case of emergency ie. on the road etc., a doctor that goes through your phone sms and see the list of drugs that you had been administered over a period of time,,,, will find such an information invaluable in making certain judgment call.

Some may ask why was the drug that my son had reacted to in the past prescribed again?,,,, obviously in every system there are still loopholes.. (but having a system of checks and balance would reveal such mistakes) but i believe the Management of Lagoon would have looked into this issue and put in place proactive means to ensure that a recurrence of such mistake those not happen again.... that is what is only logically expected.

The ministry of health should make it compulsory:
1. for all hospitals to have a electronic medical record filing system
2. There should be system for sharing such medical records amongst various medical practitioners in case of emergency or need for alternative opinion.
3. Government funding of such a scheme should be carried out and a long term repayment plan worked out for clinics who do not have the financial means to set up such an electronic database.
4. Information technology should be employed in line with international best practice.
5. Hospitals should have incidence reporting and how taking necessary steps avoided the incidence leading to a fatal event.
6. Consultants should have permit to have special siren fitted in their cars for purpose of emergencies.

I am in total support of Chazb's wife action... too many innocent and voiceless people have left this world before their time due to negligence and decay in the health care system. The action she has taken can only lead to system improvement and make our doctors more vigilant, caring and responsive in the discharge of their duties.

These are the sad consequences when mentally deranged people that should be institutionalized in hospitals are allowed to freely roam the street and mingle with people. RIP TO THE DEAD!

The green card...
why
1. Qualitative education for my children
2. I see one of my children becoming the next president of America... sorry to disappoint you folks it wont happen in Nigeria.. ethnicity, rotational crap and all that.
3. A society that values truthfulness more than money! see what bill cosby is going through!
4. A society that questions the source of your wealth
5. Qualitative health care system. why do you think all our rich men rush abroad for medical treatment.
6. No big man can dupe you and get away with it... the story of Nigeria
7. I dont have to make any funny calls on behalf of my children for someone to fix him/her up... if he is hard working he will easily make it abroad.
8. No need to worry about the so called african jazz.
9. Free from all those extended family.... constantly demanding...
10. I can comfortably drive my brand new car and be happy to see all around me people with beautiful rides
11. no more living in gated house, gated roof, gated street.... when one is not in zoo.. i call that living in bondage
12. It is better now to invest abroad... with the fall in crude oil price, the real value of shares will soon reveal itself which is southwards!
13. The average Nigerian worker is becoming poorer by the day due to depreciation of naira against major currencies.

How can a person be 35 and still live at home with his parents? I don't understand this walai.

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/sep/19/third-italians-live-with-parents.... its now a global phenomenon.

Nigerians can shine anywhere given a conducive environment, see the story of serena and venus williams ... Eldee congrats to your daughter!

We dont know the state of his friend's health. His friend may have a heart condition... someone in my office once had an heart attack and had to be rushed via ambulance to the hospital .. imagine if he had gotten into a fight from a road rage around the time the heart problem was about to start, He probably would have died from a little scuffle. A proper autopsy is needed.

RIP MAMA

There is a need for massive education in the North... the more the youths know their rights the less they will fall victim to such Pedophiles.

just saw this post after playing via my phone.... keeping my fingers crossed that i have not been scammed! Please let them know that there is a new sheriff in town by the name of President Buhari!

No knowledge is wasted.

People shouting mini or small project... don't u know that any contract awarded in USD deserves the governor's fullest attention.

See money they will be sharing for ghost workers.

With dwindling oil revenue.... I believe the fund for the project would be more judiciously used in improving rail transportation, waterways transportation; agriculture, electricity; gas distribution net work, the centenary project should not be on the priority list of to do projects.

For all expectant mother with a dog in the house please read the book. .. "Tell your dog you're pregnant : An essential guide for dog owners who are expecting a baby"...
RIP little Chinonso

BOUNTYDOG:
What breed is the dog exactly,
These are the reasons why we should avoid crossed breeding.
A pure breed dog has its distinct xterististics which you must read about before deciding to adopt a dog,if the dog was a bullmastiff,om. Sure such will never happen,and even though the bullmastiffs are good with babies it is adviced not to leave a dog with a baby,the mother should have carried her baby along to shop.


I'm sure the dog is crossed and unpredictable.

There are over 300 breeds of dogs and all has their xteristics,learn to read about the dog you want to adopt,or better still tell the breeder your reasons for needing a dog and let them recommend the best breed for that purpose.if the dog was a rottweiller or pitsbull. Would blame the mother for carelessness,Animals will always be animals,it is we human that use them for our purposes.
She should have gone shopping with the baby.some dogs extends their anger on what they can easily lay hands on,the dog mght have barked on a passerby and immediately extends the anger on the poor child,this is a xter of a rottweiller.my rotts even steps on her pups and kills them when she sees a stranger comng towards me,she bites her cage if she has nothing to lay her hands on,she has a pad I give her to extend her anger on,
Best dogs one can keep with a kid is the bullmastiff.and still adviced not to do unsupervised.

I thought the German Shepherd & alsatian are the best bet for the safety of a baby.

sukkot:
Life has no value. so lets not attach any value to the life of the 4 month old. thats all pretentious nonsense. each man for himself. protect and look after yourself and most of all, seek the protection of God on your own life. the 4 month old you tried to save could in 20 years time be the person who lynches your own child to death. with black people you have to stay away from helping them because they can turn that help into negativity. while dragging the 4 month old from the dog if you rip the babies arms away from his body, you can be lynched to death on the spot. your help turns to your death. happens all the time. its a jungle.

You are spot on ... I remember one scary incidence when I offered a lift to a pregnant lady who was walking with her daughter around 11a.m.... the funny thing is she knows that we live on the same street. . To cut a long story sjort, I missed the 1st turning that I should have taking to drop her off.. I promised to take the next turning and drop her & her daughter b4 I could say Jackie Robson she started screaming in the car... when I saw she was getting paranoid... I qickly opened the door & she exited.. b4 my altruistic deed gets me lynched by some frustrated mob.

Let me add to ur surprise, pirated version of Microsoft office 97 package, was probably installed ... Truly there was a country.

After reading through all the comments don't know what to say but I am truly loving my digital tools note 4 & lumia 1520. TGIF.

There is a new sheriff in town by the name PMB.... she will be found in Jesus name.

thanks for the info.

Every time i read about a new shopping mall being built i weep for my country.... where are the new factories being built? Is Nigeria condemned to be a buy and sell economy?

what legacy do we truly have leaders with enviable legacy?

Where is the fear of God? You take a life that you can not give!

Chasing Shadows!

Truly I must be dreaming & reading this stuff. . .. the boy must be mentally deranged. He should be subjected to mental evaluation. His parents must not be absolved of the greuesome crime of this boy. The Bible says  Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. You mean this boy sleeps in the same room with human beings. This not about poverty, but a clear case of EVIL beyond comprehension. LORD JESUS PLEASE LET YOUR KINGDOM COME NOW!

Oliseh talks a lot,,,, I truly hope he can't deliver.
