Excuse me?
Which one is @ Buhari?Did the rot not start before Buhari became President?Are Doctors not also part of the problems?
I am not in support of the way the Hospitals are but why are they just crying out?
Is light the reason people are dying every day for minor aliment or the attitude of the Doctors?I stand to be corrected but on this same platform i have read peoples testimonies calling out the Doctors and their attitude.
A lot of things are wrong but the hand pointing fingers should also realise four fingers are pointing back.

ReplyDeleteTells you the paraplegic state of the Nigerian hospitals.
DeleteYour comment will be visible after approval.
Stella dear, light is a major problem. When there's no light, oxygen plant won't work to produce oxygen for patients, ventilators do not work to provide life support for patients in icu (believe me, many have died from this rather than from their ailments with their relatives none the wiser), labs can't work to run urgent investigations and cross match blood for patients, drugs that should be refrigerated and yes blood in blood bank get warm and are eventually sold/administered to patients after loosing their potency or getting spoilt, patients undergoing surgery suffer as anaesthetic machines shut down, monitors shut down, operating lamps die. The doctor in a bid to save d patients life keeps working with lamps or torchlight which is dangerous as fuck but the scarier alternative is leaving patient under anaesthesia while waiting for the gen to function which might take up to 30 mins. Sometimes patients arrest under the knife but since monitors are not working,it takes longer to notice and when they do notice, it's too late for the patient. So do not talk about light as if it's not a valid complaint cos it is. So many life saving procedures are delayed cos hospital staff are waitihg for power supply. You do what u can do with ur lamp and leave d rest till power is restored which doesn't Bode well for the patient. Buhari is not at fault but he is the current C-in -C and the one that can address our current problems through his technocrats. There's no point calling on GEJ or OBJ, that would be a bloody waste of time. Doctors attitude is different, no power supply is a different problem. They are mutually exclusive issues. You can't or shouldn't say until one should be resolved before tackling the other, we won't get anything done that way. Let all the issues be addressed on their merit. Thank you

DeleteYes we'll call Buhari cos he's the President and promised to solve all our problems when elected.
DeleteI doubt if this will change, Aso Villa clinic got more allocation in the 2016 budget than the 3 top Teaching hospitals (including LUTH) in the country yet Baba ran to UK to treat ordinary ear infection
It is well
Thank you Bulls eyes..
DeleteBulls-eye daalu...you spoke so well and truthfully too.
DeleteYou nailed it bull's eyes. More wisdom to you.
DeleteNoone is blaming Buhari but he is the president of the nation and as such,he can address the issue.
My neighbour was asked to pay 2k for fuel and she was in labour. The nurse said she only has a torch-light fone and the phone's battery was dead. She eventually paid for fuel and before the person who went for the fuel came back,she had put to bed.
They used the mid-wives torch-light phone with an almost dead battery. What if the battery just went off in the course of the delivery?
The Health sector in Nigeria needs urgent attention and calling the president to the situation on ground isn't out of place.
May God save us from us.
You are just far away there you don't know what's really going on.
DeleteEven after reading this blog post alone am I motivated to go the extra mile?
Because in order to do a normal days job you must go the extra mile.
Including spending money out of my own pocket for ungrateful people that will still turn around and say rubbish.
I remember when there was no oxygen in LUTH for 2 weeks!!!
Of course expect people to die.
And when it happens who do they blame... (beating drums) THE DOCTOR.
There was no light to screen blood, so no blood to transfused for emergencies, people die. Who do you blame..???
Well she has already said it, She blames MY ATTITUDE.
I don't have anything to say. I've not visited any hospital in the last 9yrs.
DeleteI visited a government hospital in 2007 and as at then everything was working very well.
There's this new thing, it's called a "Generator". People never want to take responsibility for anything, always waiting for the government.No work ethics whatsoever. People are making it sound like power failure is a newly discovered app or something. In civilised countries they have constant light but still Hospitals and Businesses have standby generators. I know common sense is not common but come on!!
DeleteThank you so much @ bull-eyes! God bless you greatly for this comment. May your home never lack God's blessings, Amen.
DeleteI remember vividly in Abuth, zaria. Where I served as a corpse, coming from Lagos, didn't have much on me but I had to buy medications for some patients(children)who couldn't afford it but I Thank God for His abundant grace. It is not easy working under hazardous condition, it takes the grace of God. I know private hospitals aren't the same but most govt hospitals are a write off!
DeleteThe CMD is a doctor. Govt gives them money on a monthly basis to buy fuel for generator and other such expenses but they will embezzle everything and leave the patients to suffer.
DeleteStella sometimes u talk like say u and sense dey quarrel. So light is not a major issue and u need it to be explained to you abi? Sorry.
DeleteNo light? How can a doc/nurse be working in the dark? What if something went wrong because they could not see properly? Smh I sorry for my Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteAda, don't u got to church?
DeleteYou're always here showing how jobless u are,
Are u related to Emjay?
Are they trying to tell me that LUTH has been in darkness since? Or its jst dat night that they decided not to turn on the gen?.
DeleteThe person that took this picture and posted it, what are u trying to achieve? So a teaching Hospital can't afford fuel or the Gen can't be repaired or what?
I am nt a fan of buhari's Government, but Nigeria I knw has been in darkness since before obasanjo's tenure and we have gotten used to it.
So am guessing the @Mbuhari is jst a tag cos He's the president of the country and not cos he's the cause of the darkness. In that case they forgot to tag the Governor of the state.
The handler is not blaming Buhari, He is only calling his attention to the issue. Nigeria needs private administor to manage public hospital.
DeleteGovernment should EMPOWER Nigerian doctors to be more effective.
DeleteLeave them. Even the excess rain fall this season is Buhari's fault. We have a long way to go in this country.
ReplyDelete@bianca Bruno do I know you from somewhere??? Yes!! LIB,,, hmmmm you come von put mouth for our matter, please note your not welcome here cause your likes are not found here,BTW we don't give money here at the end of the month so don't waste your time here.
DeleteAnon,you must be a newbie cos Bianca Bruno has been on this blog sinceeeeeeeeeeeeeee....
DeleteI stand to be corrected, but our doctors should share in the blame. My darling friend lost her baby in the womb 2days before her due date at national hospital, Abuja. A week beforr then, the baby had been diagnosed with low heart rate, instead of the doctor to recommend her for emergency CS, they sent her home. Whereas, another friend was also diagnosed with low heart rate at 36weeks in the US and immediately they rushed her for Cs. Furthermore, I know alot of people who lost loved ones in National hospital that could have been avoided.
DeleteIn First Rivers Hospital, a doctor was selling bedsheets to me. He brought it out of his backpack and was offering to sell to me.
ReplyDeleteImagine someone sick being sold bedsheets to.
I have no faith in the Nigerian medical system. Private hospitals are worse off Stella. Its a sad day for me. Let me rest here
Not all private hospitals...
DeleteThe one I'm using is top notch!...but it's expensive...
Ohhhh dear, I have not even finished ranting about this same hospital and you are here with yours. A hospital that looks outwardly beautiful and inside is as scrappy as 'F' old and rusty equipment in their delivery rooms, smelly, airless and stuffy recovery rooms after delivery with dirty toilets and lacking something as simple as worm water for bath. The entire hospital is a mess, or is it their over staffed underdeveloped and under paid personnel? All they do is gossip about the management and do I blame them?
DeleteIf you love your life and you are in ph, stay away from FIRST RIVERS HOSPITAL.
Thanks! I almost went there oh! Looks impressive from outside.
DeleteLOL LOL LMAO
DeleteIt's a big Shame
DeleteDon't say that First Rivers is a very good hospital very neat the staff is great nd d food is nice too. They are very good at what they do. I know that bcos I hv loved ones dat hv bn admitted der
DeleteRazorsharp
By d time u are admitted and given a bd with torn mattress and d nurse tells u no bedsheet.....u will look for that dr.
DeleteCan Buhari just tender his resignation. We are tired of the Negative Changes
ReplyDeleteNaija go better. We should learn to stop throwing blames abeg
ReplyDeleteNaija go better that's what I keep hearing since when I was small....

DeleteUmu pina pina
DeleteStella please don't start. You don't stay in Nigeria so you don't know what goes on in the medical field.. I'm not in the medical field but I see what doctors go thru in government hospitals. This doctors are over worked and you expect them not to have attitude?? One doctor will attend to a patient from 8am to 5pm.. Haba. That's way too much.. What do you expect a doctor who has been seeing patient from morning till night to do?? He will be exhausted, tired and won't five his best..
ReplyDeleteI once took my child to Luth for something and there was so light. No light. What the hell?? Some people who needed some things done with light were asked to come back another day hoping their would be light. This place is suppose to have a standard generator running at all time.. My appointment that day at luth was for 10am and I was there by 9:30, but the crowd was too much so I didn't see the doctor until 2pm. By the time I got into the consultation room the doctor looked exhausted. I was like you lool tired and he said he actually is. That he has been seeing patients from 8am. That in a sane country this wouldn't be. You can't over work a doctor. The government is supposed to employ Alot of doctors but they wouldn't because they want to save cost..
That doctor was so tired I thanked God I didn't come for sleuthing serious. With the way he even attended to me, if not that I stroked a conversation with him, he would have attended to me in a hurry so he could see other patients lined up waiting for him..
Please I use to blame doctors for a lot of things but my experience at luth thay day and others I have had at a mother and child center during my son's antenatal made me think twice..
You will go for antenatal and there are about 8 doctors to attend to over 200 pregnant women. I live mother and child centers because the hospitals are usually up to standard with everything you need especially the one in surulere but my God those doctor's are over worked. They start attending to women from 8am and still attending till 4pm. Haba. 8 doctors only for this amount of people. And it's not like 4 will work now and 4 later. The 8 of them start working same time. You will go for antenatal by 8am and you haven't seen a doctor at 2pm because of the number of people and doctors and the doctors wanting to do their best..
Please the government should look into this things. It's very alarming. And please can doctors be paid on time?? Why delay their salaries?? This people shouldn't even be experiencing things like delay in salary as they are in charge of the health of the citizens. A doctor who is over worked, under paid or hasn't been paid will give attitude problems.. Any other worker will give attitude too if they experience what this people experience everyday..
A happy doctor will do his job well. Go to private hospitals where this supposed consultants in government hospital own and you will see how you will be treated like egg.
What are you talking about? 8-5 shift is exhaustion? Doctors here work 12 hour shifts 7a-7pm and they don't have attitudes... nurses work the same, one do double shifts self or 16 hours. And they dare not show a bit of attitude. It's what they signed up for, it's a stressful job. Please stop making excuses. The govt needs to fix the light situation and the health care professionals need an attitudinal check and have compassion on human lives sheesh!!!!
DeleteGbam!...
DeleteYou spoke so well.,,
Anon you lie. Stop lying please. Doctors abroad have break hours. Where they go and rest and another doctor takes over their shift..
DeleteDoctors aren't over worked abroad. And they are well paid
This anony 12:54 is so dumb!...
DeleteSmh...
Wetin this one dey yarn. Lazy Nigerian workers. Telling a doctor 'you look tired'.
DeleteSurgeons work 12 hours in Australia, if you're a mental health nurse you work a 12hr shift, yes! Doctors work for 12hours a day, from theatre to ward and that's the routine for the day. Shebi dem get 2 heads for abroad?
You people are always good at comparing with Western countries, una don travel before?
Fab Mum...good. You forgot to add that the pregnant women sit on benches without foam, same with women clutching new babies waiting for immunisation. The bench hurts like hell while they wait for hours unattended to.
DeleteOne line made me burst out in laughter...you had an appointment at 10am and you got to Luth at 9:30am? Hahaha. You no serious o. You no like your baby. Best thing is go see the Doctor in his private clinic, that is what they love.
I see 60 patient per shift and I work for 9 hours.
DeleteNormal things. Most times at the end of a shift I am exhausted.
Only those that wear the shoes know how it feels.
Doctors have break hours and another doctor takes over the shift? Lmao!!! Nigerians wey never cross border full this blog.
DeleteMake I go sleep before I use laugh wake my neighbours.
Jesu!
12 hours ke? Nne sometimes it's 24+ hours back to back and hu are u to complain. My brother is a Dr. She is so disillusioned. It's not about knowing d stuff it's about seeing the facilities to use d stuff to treat d patients. It's not d attitude dat is d issue Stella.. you can't sit on ur high horse and spew what you don't know with all due respect. It's not d attitude, it's frustration. It's frustrating wen u see a patient and u know d patient needs so and so but dere is no way because it's not available or too expensive. I know how many times he has come home soooo discouraged. I feel that after sometime, they become disconnected from d system so that it doesn't get to them. It's not d work of the Drs to fix d health system Stella, it's d work of the govt. Or is it d Doctor or nurse dat is going to put d lite? So if they change their attitude, light will show abi?
DeleteJayem,
DeleteAustralia you say?...in a good working enviroment with steady light and AC working perfectly during summer?
Oh I forgot they earn a lot!...
Here they owe these people salaries...how would you work in an empty stomach to start with?...no light and all?...
Abeg they are not the same...
Before I forget,
DeleteThis same doctors after consultation will still do ward round, the hours I talked about there was for consultation. After whixh they will start ward round, then if they have emergency cases and all they would still be there..
I can tell you for. A fact that this doctors in Nigeria work for over 12 hours here.
So yes they are over worked..
Abroad doctors don't work 12hrs at a go. And they don't attend to the mountain of patient the Nigerian doctors attend to
Have you gone for consultation in a government hospital?? The crowds their is alarming... And few doctors are in charge of this, you expect them not to be tired when in 8 hours they would have attended to over 100 patient?? And that's for one doctors. And he still has people waiting..
Why do you think people flee from government hospitals?? Because of the crowd. The day you have an appointment with a doctor there please be sure to scrape off all you have planned for thay day.
So please do not compare them with their foreign counterpart who work in sane environment and robust pay..
Xhrlted P
DeleteI forgot to mention that. Very painful bench.
For the time issue I didn't know I had to be there earlier than that o. I. Was like since appointment is 10 am, let me be there for 9:30, how wrong was I....
That's why I said thank God it wasn't a serious issue.. Imagine I went there for something serious and my time was delayed like this because they are short staffed
Thank you JayEm. These ones are just talking anyhow. 12 hours is standard shift. Between those hours do you know how many patients they see. You'll be exhausted, no doubt, but at the end of the day you feel rewarded by the many thanks knowing you've helped a life or two. The only difference is doctors are very well paid and valued abroad. Again, it's no secret so if you know doctors are overworked, not paid well, the necessary amenities aren't in place then who sent you to go read medicine? Only to end up complaining and having attitudes? In the process lives will be lost. It's putiful. There is no excuse for exhaustion, attitude and the likes. You better keep that at home!
DeleteSay all you want but you can not expect a Nigerian doctor to work like those abroad. Take a look at the pay of those working abroad.. Take Alot at the conducive environment they work in with standard equipment. Here the equipment is enough to frustate a doctor..
DeleteAnd yes my inlaw is a doctor abroad and I know he isn't over worked. He doesn't work 12hrs stretch. He has break hours and goes back to work... He doesn't work round the clock.. So fab mum is right about the 12hrs issue
People just talk out of ignorance,kai! Doctors abroad dat work those long hours are paid as per d number of hours they work! They are paid hourly,some per patient sef! In nigeria,who gets paid hourly? Even if u work overtime no one cares! Pls don't ever compare Nigerian doctors to doctors abroad pls! They are treated way better than Nigerian doctors pls! You get paid as per d number of hours you work! So if u decide to work 24hours,u r working for your money. Nigerian doctors can never enjoy that! If I kno am gonna be paid as per d number of hours I work, pls bring it on! I go work tire. No give me break sef!!
DeleteIt's sad really how you people talk....the least paid Dr in Australia would have at Least 2 million naira monthly paid salary and the least paid in government hospital in naija can get 150 thousand naira monthly and they haven't been paid for an average 8 months hence the strike. ..and I should be calm because you sent me to school.
DeleteActually I've decided not to likely practice again in nigeria
So please tell me again...na you send me go school
Explain to my why that nurse in working I'm darkness?? Is it suppose to be so?? If she makes a mistake that results in the death of the patient she is attending to what will you call that??
ReplyDeleteGovernment should fix the hospitals, bring it up to standard and pay the doctors well without delaying their salaries..
If the hospitals in Nigeria were up to standards, the president who banned government officials from travelling abroad to receive treatment wouldn't have gone to UK for treatment of the ear..
That's something a good ENT doctor will do if he has everything up to standard in the hospital and conducive environment..
And most of you complain or wonder why govt officials don't visit Nigerian hospitals. Lmaooo Nigerian doctors are equivalent to nurse's assistants abroad.
DeleteAnon, stop fooling yourself. Do you know what the job description of a nurse assistant is? I must comment.
DeleteJayem, obviously anon was being sarcastic. The average Nigerian would run abroad for medical check ups if the chance/resources were available. Why don't they trust their doctors back home? Even as much as they spend on Aso Villa clinic, they still don't patronize them. Obviously they don't believe their doctors are capable. Hence the reference to a nurse's assistant. Na to take vital signs and drip last lol
DeleteAnon 16:26, they don't trust the health SYSTEM. Not the doctors. After all its the same doctors that full the whole uk and us. They are not sure if light will be steady during their surgery...not the doctors or nurses, the system, the country.
Delete12:56, you are a nonetity! Have you boarded a plane at all to know the equivalent of a Nigerian doctor to a Nurse assistant? Do you even know the meaning a nurse assistant? It is MEDICAL ASSISTANT! They help doctors with administration and logistics of his clinic! Ode oshi!
DeleteThe dumb ones blame buhari for everything. Buhari is not GOD. All these things started long before he got there. The change we are shouting about begins with us.
ReplyDeleteStella let's ask ourself this. How come these same nurses and doctors don't have this attitude when they get to America. Do you know the amount of our medical personnel progressing there ?
ReplyDeleteYou can imagine going to your office with no light to work, the room is damp and stuffy, you go to toilet, it's dirty, no water to flush. You don't have a working computer, no paper in the printer, no printer sef. Land line to call clients is not working. How are they supposed to be happy to work. With all this they are payed peanuts.
Just one day that my office gen stopped working for few hours while Mikano was fixing it. You shld see people sweating, complaining, my boss even left the office and said he can't work in such environment. This was just for 4hrs before gen started working. The office was dis-organized, now can you imagine dese doctors going through that daily.
I am yet to see a private hospital where doctors are paid handsomely, nurses are paid well. They have good working environment, they can sleep on their break and have coffee break, lunch for free. Good rooms to relax on off. And they have their apparatus.
My private hospital has all this, we pay thru our nose. But my hubby will say if you can't pay good money for ur health, wat are you living for.
I am yet to see any lazy or nasty nurse in that environment.
They are so pleasant and nice, always giving my daughter lollipop and ballon when they want to give her injection. They pet her sef.
Nigeria is in a mess, it has been for decadessss before vuhari. But is even worse under him.
Then bloody quit or get another job. This has been the attitude of Nigerian nurses/doctors for years. So why go study in that field knowing how stressful it is and be giving excuses. No one forced them to be doctors please. I hate the excuses you people make. Don't go and kill innocent people if you can't handle it. Kukuma go and read banking hiss
DeleteIf you give attitude to your patient abroad you get fired! Yes! The patient is the most important person in the hospital and not the doctor, in Nigeria it's the other way round.
DeleteAbeg Jayem and Anon take several seats and stop displaying so much ignorance. There are a limited number of patients doctors abroad can see that's why you have to have an appointment. WHO also has a protocol regarding that which is not followed in 9ja. Doctors in teaching hospitals in Nigeria are overworked
DeleteThanks Ada. Even here in Germany, they have morning, afternoon and night shift. No doctor or nurse works throughout the day. Never. May be in another western world, but not here.
DeleteTalking about paying peanut, here every profession has its minimum amount that can be paid. Bankers salary is not the same with teacher, like wise doctors and nurses, lawyers, etc, each profession/field has its minimum amount.They have a written book for that, where you'll see how much each profesion is being paid.
Nawa o, Americanas, una doo, what kind of double shift is that? If i hear. Abeg i respect German govt.
everything na Buhari.. God please give Buhari the strength and wisdom to deliver
ReplyDeleteBuhari should be ashamed of himself.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder he quickly ran to UK where they have everything in place.
Buhari is the real definition of Deception. It is a pity
So because it didnt start in buharis era we shouldnt talk again abi?
ReplyDeleteWe hear.
Stella abeg abeg abeg!!.,,
ReplyDeleteIs that not the same way they blamed Jonathan knowing that Nigerians problem didn't start from him?...
See Vuharia promised Nigerians positive change when he was campaigning and gullible Nigerians believed him and voted him in!...
We will continue blaming him even the rain and flood in Lagos is his fault shikena!...
And the flood will carry you and your family one day so you can blame buhari well. Amen
DeleteThank you Fab mum. Let me add a little to your comment. This same Doctor that worked from 8am to 5pm will still be the one on call at the emergency unit til the next morning. How do you want them to function well that's over 24 hour call. They don't even go home the next morning because they have to continue till 5pm again haba. The anonymous talking about Doctors and nurses abroad next time you're on vacation kindly volunteer at one of the government hospitals in Nigeria because if you've not had a first hand experience working in a Nigerian hospital you can not know what Fab mum is talking about. As a doctor in Naija hospital you work as a nurse, lab technician, blood donor and even as an orderly. It's so stress full and demanding that at the end of the day you can't even do anything tangible for yourself bcos you're exhausted already. In western hospitals correct me if I'm wrong the Doctors do not run up and down to obtain investigation results, blood, drugs, etc. this makes your work very easy. They have phlebotomist that takes blood sample, order drugs on the computer and investigations. Please Naija hospitals and western hospitals aren't the same. Naija Doctors go through a lot of stress and that's why most people leave at the slightest opportunity. Doctors and Nurses abroad please volunteer in Nigerian hospitals when you're around. Thank you
DeleteAnonymous
DeleteThank you so much. People come herr and want to compare doctors abroad with Nigerian doctors which isn't fair
This doctors in Nigeria are over worked. They play every role. Go to general Hospital before talking and see the crowd there. Doctors abroad don't attend to the number of patients their Nigeria counterpart attend to. I feel so much pity for them. And to think their pay is low..
See how much they pay doctors abroad.. But here they pay them stipends and even owe them. And still over work them. You will see a doctor running around to get results, get this and get that..
Doctors have been crying out from time immemorial, the government just doesn't want to hear. As regards their attitude, there's a lot of politics in the medical profession so everyone is advised to stay on their lane otherwise ur seniors will have it out for u. I'm talking from experience, don't blame their attitude. If the basic things are being provided for we the doctors, there will be less morality rate. So Stella, no one is blaming anyone except the government for lack of hearing our cry.
ReplyDeleteThen why carry your head to go become a doctor?? Stop making excuses!!! Their attitude is appalling. They have no sympathy. Even if you can't help some things, at least show some sympathy. That alone, goes a long way. But no, they will be insulting you on top of your illness. Asking you if they are the 'causer' of your sickness. Just imagine! I can't deal abeg. Stella is right.
DeleteAnd u are a doctor??? Morality rate ko immorality rate ni
DeleteThis is one of the reasons why Nigerians are suffering from kidney and liver problem,..
ReplyDeleteThis nurse might make a mistake and give you excessive dosage of the medicine you are suppose to take...
Hahahaha...i don't know why I am laughing over this serious matter.but your comment cracked me up.
DeleteAnd you think your liver and kidney is still intact? Till u drop dead one day.
DeleteSome idiot just spitting rubbish. Lasuth provides and generate their electricity. It so sad that the person who put up this pics and post spent 7 years in schoplace and lacks sense. Everyou misfortune now is on buhari
ReplyDeleteOh yes!!!! Light can be a cause why people pass!
ReplyDeleteLuth sucks big time,infact all govt hospitals sucks!!!
God help Nigerians
IDK What's wrong with us, we don't have to blame anybody for our problems. We're the cause of our problems
ReplyDeleteStella, what are you saying? So because LUTH has been like this b4 Buhari became president, it should remain like this?
ReplyDeleteThey r only beckoning on him to do something as the president. Haba!!!
Smmh,everything now na buhari,if ur pupu no come out well na buhari.nonsense.
ReplyDeleteOur problems are far from being over when we don't realise that we are our own problem. The negligence and incompetence of a "paediatrician" in FIRST RIVERS hospital in Port Harcourt led to my 13days old son's death because he couldn't be bothered even when the baby was down with infection from also their lack of professionalism. They couldn't do a surgery as simple as circumcision without cutting through my baby's vein and leaving the child in pain and swollen penis. Baby was cranky, infected, bleeding and visibly distressed, paediatrician said nothing was wrong, as a first time mum what level of experience did I have? Smh. I leave that man and the hospital to God and their conscience if they have any. Wouldn't be surprised if he is somewhere twitting trash and blaming the government of the day. ...and yes bye to PRIVATE HOSPITALS.
ReplyDeleteChai!...
DeleteI have said it before and I will continue saying it...
Rivers state have the worst medical practitioners in Nigeria...most hospitals in Port harcourt are death trap..
Even the medical centres in my village are better than them...
Eeeyahh Chai.
DeleteThis your story is sad o.
Your baby was neglected. How can someone die over something so simple. All he needed was antibiotics but I expect he became septic.
So sorry oooo. I dey pity you madam.
This is why I will continue to blame Madueke Diezani. If she did not steal all that billions of dollars, they could have used the money to help Nigeria's healthcare system and not buying bags and house.
God will punish her and all the rogues during GEJs time.
Lol@ doctors fault.
ReplyDeleteEveryone has a part to play.
Its very easy to point fingers at any1 esp wen u no nothing abt a situation.
Just lastwk wednessday...I watch a young mother enter the ward with a 3yr old dead baby.
I felt like giving her a resounding slap(babies cant relay to u wen dia illness becomes severe). Her baby had been sick all day, the day b4. Dey forced fed a convulsing child with local herbal concortion n poor child must av choked on it.wen she was told her baby was dead, she quickly backed her dead child n covered his head with a piece of clothe n walked out crying...I watched d matron advice her to control hersef n nt to let the public transport driver no she is carrying a dead child, else she wld pay extra on tfare.
I can go on ...bottom line is d economy is hard, too many malnourished n sick BEAUTIFUL BABIES(ppl present to hosp only wen situatn has gotten outta hand).
So u can blame Buhari partly for dis...if u going to change policies plz make some cushioning strategies too.
I can testify to the fact that public health workers deep hands into their personal funds to help patients with investigations or getting medications or paying hosp bills.
And concerning docs attitude....Stella u don't no half of what's happening here in Osun state...there is a policy dat says if dey catch any doc working while odas are on strike, 15k wld be deducted from ur salary.
Na wah oh!...
DeleteStella, at this point I'd have to shake my head for u. So sorry about that but u really deserve it. Ahn ahn. You are asking if epileptic power supply is d reason why people are dying and I tel u boldly, that YES, it is part of the reason.
ReplyDeleteWhat is doing u sef. Maybe they were not complaining then as they could still afford to fuel their generators and use. Stella, I am not ashamed to say this but since d increase in fuel price, I haven't bought a single drop of fuel for my gen. I charge my phone and powerbank in school and any time I see light, I watched TV and do my laundry. I bet u that half of the people in d country are like this now.
So is it Buhari's fault? Hell yeah, if things are going right in the country, who dyu praise, the president, ain't it? So if things are going wrong, who do u blame? Me????
Yes, I've always been pro pdp but this is way above that. If you know how terrible light has been now ehn since this govt took over, u won't be blaming gej for this. When there was light during gej's tenure, they said it was because of d raining season, now it's raining season and we thank God wen we see light 2hrs in d middle of the night. Yes, that's how bad things are now.
So pls pls and pls, let me hear word this morning. If u really dunno what to say concerning some things, it's best not to say anything at all.
Long live my dear Country.
Don't mind them...
DeleteAll my life,I have never seen Nigeria like this...
You people even see light...
We have not seen light for over one month in my area...the last time they gave us light was low voltage which is as good as nothing...
We keep saying the light situation in the country is bad, and keep blaming Buhari and Fashola, yet we will be saying "Well Done" to the NDA bombing the pipelines all over the place!
DeleteUntil our brains connect the bombed pipeline to "No gas for power plants" to "No power generation" then to " No light in my house", we will continue to rant for our own errors.
Egbin power plant has been down since the NDA bombed the Chevron pipeline and yet we want light to magically appear for the citizens. Let's just continue being Ostriches, point and blame Buhari all the way!!!
@queen na Aj city you dey stay? Hahahaha
DeleteEka Joy, I know people that live in ikd, they don't have need for fuel so stop lying. Thank you.
DeleteI have 23hrs power supply. My area has been like this even before Yaradua became president. Thank God for upgrade.
Since I entered the house friday evening till I left for church this morning, the light no blink.
Lafresh, I want to slap u so bad, it hurts. Are u dumb? The last thing I do on this blog is lie. Was I not the same person that said a while back that our light has been fair? Dyu think this is d same situation now and I will come and be countering what I said? Bia, dont vex me. Dyu know aw big ikorodu is and where in ikorodu I stay? If I say we don't have light, it's cos we don't.
DeleteAll d exam questions we printed were all done with generator so I dunno what u are talking about.
You and ur lying clique know yourselves and don't u ever dare insinuate that I'm lying.
Didn't even know as much as seeking a second opinion from another medical facility. Just took his words completely. Saw the paediatrician on a Friday, sent us home without even paracetamol claiming baby was okay and that it is normal for babies to cry, on Saturday baby cried all through and be Sunday morning he was gone. Now I live in constant reminder, pains and memories of loosing my lovely son. Really really SAD.
ReplyDeleteYou mean you lost your baby just like that?...
DeleteHian!,.
Which peadiatrician is that abeg?...
so sorry for your loss.
Deletei lost someone to to the doctors carelessness in luth.
Even the consultant incharge of his case was too old to clinb the stairs.
we practically had to become friends with everybody including the ward maid nd lab technicians.
still remember the 2 weeks in luth like yesterday.
RIP to our love ones...
Jeezz
DeleteSo sorry...
Chai!!!
So sorry.
DeleteWhat stops the government from establishing power plants dedicated to priority organisations like hospitals? A blink in power supply can sometimes determine a patient's survival.
ReplyDeleteA priority power line shouldn't be too hard to set up.
DONT MIND THEM,THEY STAGE STRIKES TO COLLECT BRIBE AND THEN CALL IT OFF KNOWING NOTHING HAS CHANGED AND THEN COME ON THE SOCIAL MEDIA TO COMPLAIN..GTFOH
ReplyDeleteExactly! Thank you
Deletewhen my pregnant sister was lying critically ill in that hospital she needed blood transfusion but there was no light to screen the blood, we waited until light came the following day, anyways it was a lost battle because my sister and the new born baby never returned home.
ReplyDeleteSorry anon. But your fellow Nigerians will see this and still find a way to blame a doctor.
DeleteWe all have our parts to play.
ReplyDeleteIf it's not deception why will our own president travel all the way to London just becos of ear infection ....please let us think, our leaders are sending us to early grave by allowing the state of the hospitals in Nigeria to remain the same . In ucth the X-ray machine is not even working patient r sent outside to take X-ray , just recently they repaired the X-ray machine n it was worse than before cos you won't see anything from the X-ray , they are busy wasting ppls money in the name of helping them ....ordinary X-ray machine that an individual can owe a whole institution doesn't hv . It's very bad . It's high time we did the right thing
ReplyDeleteThe only reason Buhari's name appeared there is because he promised CHANGE, go read the APC campaign manifesto once again. He said he will and swore to Change Nigeria, his followers didn't know he was only coming to fight his family as well as political enemies. The man naga anaga now(he's going now?). He is frail and old mehhn. Stella Kork go dig Father Mbaka's prediction on Buhari's health. It is disheartening. They are making a U-turn, many of his supporters. So sad. Do you know the meaning of a dashed HOPE? How painful it can be?
ReplyDeleteWoe betide you, that you annoy this nurse when she is done with the drugs, or maybe your child keeps screaming, away from the syringe, una go hear am. She will tell you Madam hold your baby let me inject him and get out of here. No emotions whatsoever.
This situation I've met in Luth since the 90s, no be today e start. She will compensate herself very well later by telling all the expectant and women in labour to buy thermometers or some other not needed articles if they like themselves. The pharmacies on Ojuelegba Road are waiting.
*onye gbaa ball, orachaa oroma*(nurse wen play ball, go lick orange na). Convert thermometer money for hundreds of women when she resells. Rapu okwu( leave mata for Mathias).
God save Nigeria!
Dont I just love you
DeleteA country that takes one step forward and ten steps backward. A country filled with people who will never support something positive if the person bringing it is not from their regions and does not speak their languages. Have we come out to protest and out rightly condemned the activities of this Niger delta avengers bombing and destroying gas pipelines and oil facilities? No, why should we? How else will we laugh, insult and mock the president when he fails? SMH. This country will continue like this until we are ready for change then it will start from us. We frustrate the efforts of the government both past and present and then turn around to accuse them of not delivering on their campaign promises, this is not to say the government is completely faultless but we frustrate them, a typical of what is presently going on. Continue carrying TRIBE on your head and when your journey on earth is over then you will realise you wasted your energy on the wrong paths.
ReplyDeleteThe truth is that the CHANGE we seek starts from US....
DeleteU are one of few on here that understands what life is about. Am tired of hearing us point fingers at Buhari (ironically dsam thing we accuse him of doing to d past administration) Truth is no father with terrible children will look gud from d outside and vice versa cos people will always see u as what u are together, a family. Before we c an atom of change in ds country, u and I will have to change our thinking first! Ours is like the story of a tree whose leaves have littered d ground for so long and still keeps doing so, but expects the new janitor to do a good job while it keeps spilling trash from its branches.
DeleteYou shall surely die if you enter hospital like this one. But the doctors trained under the same conditions even worse, have you seen some of the university medical schools?
ReplyDeleteWhen u learn to say your piece of mind without called me stupid or telling me to shut up then it will be fine. If you will insult or bully me for saying my mind with insults then forget your comment. I delete Linda's and James' comments steady and they have never gone south on me. Have a nice day Elena.
ReplyDeletePlease why is nobody questioning the HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT??????
ReplyDeleteYou all cannot be so dull as not to say who is the Chief Medical Director of that Hospital? His bad management is the cause.
Please. Go ahead and blame Buhari for your inability to marry, have a child, pay bills, succeed and your generational failures.
The person that tweeted that didn't blame Buhari. Just called. His attention to it so he can see what's going
DeleteHospital management work with what they have been giving which is never enough.
A doctor who has to do consultation from 8 - 5pm, after which he starts ward round that would last for several hours, then go into surgeries and all isn't over worked??
ReplyDeleteWhen I said 8-5 I meant that for consultations.. Have you. Seen the crowd that go for consultations daily!?
During my antenatal days at mother and child surulere I was always number 100+ and there would be Alot of people after me. My turn never comes until 1pm to 2pm. Then imagine others after me the time they would leave. They finish by 4 or 5pm for just consultations. Even if that's all they did for. The day whixh wouldn't be, pity them. 8 doctors for over 250 patients or more.
How exhausting is that?? Biko the government should employ more doctors in government hospitals. And please pay them well. Abroad doctors are and nurses are the highest earners. But here they earn so low and are over worked
Nawa o it's a funny world. Me wey never close eye since 8am yesterday on weekend call. Dey sleep on top table and chair. I say make I relax read SDK for 2mins only to meet bashing.
ReplyDeleteThe fight I fought to wake the lab tech up to do ordinary pcv. Fight with xray man make him do xray.nurse go insult me. Patient go insult me say I no even get sympathy. My face too strong. I too proud. Wetin we do una for this Naija. JOHESU, patients, government, everybody attack. On top 11 years of my life to school. On top broken relationships cos of no time. On top everything.
Nawa ooo. Nawa for una. Nawa to you. I don turn Public enemy number one.
And why won't you die. If you complain of lack of power in your own homes. You know how it feels when everywhere is just dark, how will one feel being admitted under such conditions.
ReplyDeleteHow will one feel working in such conditions.
How does a dying patient communicate. How does that nurse or doctor notice one is slipping away. You must die now.
There must be malpractice now. No how.
I used to think like this till I was admitted in LUTH.
ReplyDeleteHmm. I am alive because of the doctor I had o because if it was left to luth system hmmm God forbid sha.
There were good and bad nurses. Good and bad doctors. Good and bad cleaners.
Like good and bad workers everywhere.
And they are human beings like you and I shouldering this responsibility.
Infact ehn, dr chucks I'm sorry for my attitude to you when I first came but I was in so much pain. And you kept telling me sorry. My dad was hard on you but you never took it out on me.
The government has to look into it.
It's not easy what they are doing. Fine they decided to. But doesn't mean we should now try to drag them down.
I also noticed some people think everybody is a doctor once they are in hospital. Like the male porter I thought was a doctor till he asked me if I want to buy dettol.
I asked the nurse why is a doctor selling dettol???lol. And she corrected me.
Fine there is room for improvement but a lot of things you hear are not true or borne out of grief or pain. Do you know some nurses give wrong doses. Matron xxxxxxxne you know yourself. While some are so perfect and nice.
Let's blame who is really to blame...
So is it wrong to call attention to issues? OK we can blame Buhari for everything else but this one ehn. Oriegwu.
ReplyDeleteBut cum der r bad hairdressers, bad mechanics, lazy bankers, terrible cooks but good ones 2. Same as health sector.
ReplyDeleteI feel Buhari is to blame fully. He promised us none of dis. He said CHANGE. As far as I'm concerned if u want good care u must have the money and go to a private hospital. If u see how ur trrated like a king ovr dere u ll no environment and renumeration has a lot to do wit attitude 2 work.
I can nvr go to govt/fed hosp. It's 50/50.
My doctor in uk here is a Nigerian doctor and he is so dedicated. I asked him the difference oone day. Why are you guys serious here and not in naija.
ReplyDeleteHe said when you haven't eaten, you can complain. But when you don chop belle full clean mouth, you no fit talk again. You must do the work. Simple.
HAS THIS NURSE BEEN PAID *JUST WONDERING OUT LOUD*
ReplyDeleteHAS THIS NURSE BEEN PAID *JUST WONDERING OUT LOUD*
ReplyDeleteHehehe Stella I know you. If na you dey work like for dis condition, you for don vex dey kill people sef. Lmao. Naija I hail thee😂😂😂
ReplyDeleteThis picture is disheartening.
ReplyDeleteEven countries at war don't have it this bad.
Something must be done.
Please whoever is responsible do something.
Hospital management?
Lagos government?
Federal government?
Oh I don't think Doctors need to be called out on this one.
Infact calling attention to problems is admirable.
#Ilovenigeria.
Doctors are overworked simples! And the system is just frustrating, leave house to early to have bfast, take lunch with me and i take it back home at least 4 times out of 5. Cos by the time i get enough time to wat its time to go home. And i am pregnant o. We do our best for our patients cos it could be me or my relative but of course everyone would sit in their comfy offices and blame the doctors. You would ask for investigations patient cant pay, i cant even count the number of times ive given money so we can get some results. Its frustrating you are on your feet all day, your owm family auffers it too. And everyone blames the doctor, well its a calling sha. Manually ventilating a baby that should be on a ventilator, waste of human resources because we cant maintain or no light. Smh may God help us
