Sanguine: Now does anyone wonder why the people in the medical field are called medical practitioners
That's simply because they are still practicising ...with human lives, sadly! Or how else could anyone explain this?!

oyinmama: It isn't a new occurrence. Back in 2003, I remember using a phone torch to carry on with a Caesarian section at Adeoyo Hospital in Ibadan. PHCN had done its worst during surgery, main generator and back-up had both broken down. We couldn't stop, so we made do with the torch of those small Nokia phones back then to finish. There were also instances when I had to set up intravenous fluid infusion for babies via the scalp using lantern light held up by colleagues.......

Rejoice5000: i didn't see any pix though but tru ur writeup if Nigeria is not favourable to u relocate to GHANA PLS @ POST.ur ex president were did he die?? in Nigeria or outside the country. romatter wat learn to appreciate Nigeria pls.

kolidave: I'm embarrased cos what dey did is a disgrace to the country,its just so absurd... If dey knew they didn't satisfy all d criterias to do a surgery why do it with a lamp and risk the life of a patient. I know the government are to be blamed but this doctors have a little blame too

Bimpss: And some idïots are here blaming the doctors, what do you expect them to do in a situation like this. Leave the patient in the middle of surgery, and wait for the power to come back on?? That makes absolutely no sense at all. A good doctor makes use of whatever they can get their hands on in order to save a patient's life, including using a torchlight when there is a power outage. Whatever happens, the show must go on! You can't leave your patient to die because their is no light. It is a flimsy excuse. This shows how dedicated some Nigerian doctors are, in the midst of nothing they make use of the little they have. Nigerian doctors in my opinion are not appreciated enough and are very underrated.

kolidave: I stumbled across this photo today and I was shocked disgraced & embarrassed. What is the health sector of this country turning into. Now I know why people travel abroad to have their medical checkups and treatments..... By looking at the photo,can't imagine what would have happened if there was a casualty during the surgery leading to the loss of life and once again PHCN & GOVERNMENT will be in for it ..... Plz scroll down for the photo.
