bros but i am now retired from that place na, why did you follow me here?

The incident is still raw and emotions high so people will blame doctors and hospitals but that is an alibi. If we want hospitals to treat such cases and we are asked to all pay 1000 naira a month to a fund covering the hospitals would we pay?

12 inches!:
@frosbel if ever u become ill (God forbidding sef) God will not let you jam a doctor like my brother. I trust him. If you don't pay you won't get treated. PERIOD Maybe my sista is more kindhearted just like my pops sha and will still have pity on the person Some doctors are not smiling. You should not forget that human kindheartedness is dependent on the individuals personal character and not the profession. There is no low in Nigeria that says a doctor should treat patients without being renumerated. Medicine is a profession not charity. The people that run charity are Red cross, WHO and the likes and maybe if you go to the hospitals they run u can get free treatment. Don't forget that serious funds is still needed to keep even Red cross and WHO functioning

coogar:

shut up your mouth, you insensitive obnoxious swine.....
is it too much if the doctor pays from his own pocket? it was an emergency for bleeps' sake - an emergency that concerns life and death of 2 vulnerable people! how do these heartless nigerians sleep at night? the bastards took 5000 from the husband and then allowed the wife and child to die and you dare ask me to do charity? you are a consummate rëtard.....

taharqa:

This is a shallow, narrow-minded 'logic' or shall I say, philosophy....

Chedarking:


Let me reiterate - This hospital was not OBLIGED to save this woman's life.

All medical aid requires some sort of funding...

If this was a Government hospital - I would be Irate, because the appropriate care has already been paid for...

A private hospital is a BUSINESS offering medical services - Saving the woman would have been nice, but there is no OBLIGATION without PAYMENT

izipee: 4gv me o..jst cnfused. Cn i atleast get ur email ID so i cn reach u dea? Plsss

Thank God we still have people with good heads in Nigeria. By the way wat section of NL am I in sef? I'm usually in the romance section yakking about "What makes men attractive" etc.

acidosis™:

lol...all these empty talks for me ?? You're loosing it man.. but I can help... go get a medical degree and practise for free... its so simple!

frosbel: We need to start a charity to educate Nigerians on the worth and value of a human LIFE, because it appears they do not have a clue !!

Fr0sbel:


You are still not getting the point.

The point is not about general treatment but a matter of life and death.

In ALL cases , when a life is under threat of destruction, it is the doctor's responsibility to save that life, because that life is irreplaceable and in many cases could actually be the sole bread winner not just for the immediate family but the extended.

Like I said , to hammer the point home, a life MUST be saved whenever the opportunity arises. Rather you are the one not getting the point. Doctors are not trained to act on emotions. A life must be saved? How do u know? For all u care, that woman may need an emergency tranfusion with blood that you may have to buy from the bank with 30k. So the doctor should dip his hand in the pocket and pay. And he may even want to do that but for how many people? The woman may need an emergency surgery that u need to call another specialist to come and do. So u will give the specialist stories that they are yet to pay? A life must be saved but doctors are not under the illussion they can help everybody so don't blame them if they can't save a life due to something beyond their power. For ur information, a thousand lives need to be saved not just a life per day in our different hospitals so how many of them do u want to do charity for. We are the one on ground and we are telling u what is happening you are still saying a life must be saved. U think u have more human feelings than I do? Think agaian

frosbel:

lol, what a pathetic excuse.

So if someone comes to your clinic with only a few minutes to live, your concern will be money , right ? If it is , then you are one of the reasons why Nigeria will never arise from the dark ages.

Medical Council of New Zealand

A doctor’s duty to help in a medical emergency If asked to attend a medical emergency as defined in this statement, a doctor must respond. This is both an ethical and legal obligation. Rarely there will be times when attending a medical emergency is impossible or unsafe for the doctor or patient.

If a doctor chooses not to attend he or she may be required to defend that decision in the event of a charge of professional misconduct or criminal prosecution.

Definition of a ‘medical emergency’
1. The Medical Council has adopted the definition of a medical emergency by S Miles
as :
“a sudden, unforeseen injury, illness or complication, demanding immediate or early professional care to save life or prevent gross disability, pain or distress.

The immediate responsibility of the doctor faced with, or called to an emergency is to apply his knowledge and skill to the saving of life and relief of suffering and to establish the most favourable conditions for his patient's ultimate recovery. This is the basic philosophy of medicine...

Please you don't start a business that has to do with people's lives without having some ethics that go with it. There is a reason why licenses are given. There is a thought process that goes with the business. If the man didn't know he could meet up the bills, he won't go there.

My twin lost his life in a specialist hospital. They only started treatment when it was too late. That was because they saw SUV's rushing to their hospital and knew that we could cater for the bills. So please if it is just for money, these wicked doctors should try selling food stuffs and get out from handling people's lives. If money is more important than lives to them.

Imagine losing your a life when the person had enough money in the bank but the doctors are more interested in cash at hand before treating.

Doctors like this are disgrace to their profession.

Baby mama: As cold as it sounds,some posters here already covered the main issue.
The facility is a private facility.and they are free to demand deposits before treatment
Government hospitals also demand deposits and registration fees before treatment,that is just the way it goes in Nigeria
If I contacted any of you guys selling cars to ship one to me and I pay later would you do it?
You wouldn't because it is your means of livelihood and you need your pay.Now how does anybody expect a doctor to treat a patient without payment or deposit?
People expect too much from others .this is the same reason landlords will go months without their due rent only for the tenants pack out in the middle of the night and flee without a trace and the landlord is stiffed of his money.
If the doctor treated the woman and holds her hostage till they pay,people will also call them wicked
It is sad the woman died but the hospital has a policy and a business to run
If they treat everyone without payment pretty soon the hospital will fold up.
Was the woman not attending antenatal clinic somewhere
Why couldn't she go to the place she was scheduled to have her baby and see their doctors?
