Things like these make me very angry. This is how people are dying in this country yet demons want this evil country to continue. Here is Nnamdi Kanu sacrificing himself for us to realize there is no future in this country yet useless animals want the county to continue...no water, no light, no food, no medical, no roads, no jobs, absolutely nothing works but animals in the zoo want it to continue. Useless idiots and fools. Black beasts! May her soul haunt her deliberate killers.

Nna! This Thing Happened In Biafra And Not In Nigeria!

All these doctors running out of the country, in 2018 please let that nonsense continue.

lebete3000:


Just keep it in mind cos the unspecial doctors will get the hell out of this dung hole. You Nigerians can then successfully patronize the herbalists you love so much comfortably.

please make sure all the stupid doctors in Nigeria including your self leaves this country before 2023 because if they don't any of there Bleep up will be met with grievous consequence.

Thunder fire you and your generation!

Mr Due Process. will you say those trash if you lost a dear friend? or you think the medical council won't cover up and protect their integrity? How many times have any written note was given utmost investigation and attention?

your type just need to die and leave the planet for sane people

And I do hope all your rantings and curses have brought back oluchi and many others from the dead.
You're just like a fellow who got robbed of all his life savings and sits down to wail and curse and whine under the influence of the green bottle, rebuffing all entreaties to report to the police because you think "it would amount to no good".
Its only an unwise fellow who fails to report a wrong to the appropriate authorities when he should because of a false believe that it would yield nothing. The doc you don't report today may be the one to treat a member of your family tomorrow. And when something goes wrong, you would do what you know how to do best: pour vitriol and curses that wouldn't even get past your roof.
Be a good boy.

Sad that she had to die like that, but I am soo not comfortable with the general level of ignorance to the workings and cadres of staff in the hospital.
For instance, I can't go into a law office and describe everyone there,right from the gatemen to the secretary as lawyers. Thus the story has to let us know if the friend was attended to by medical students (student docs) or by medical doctors cos med students don't man university clinics or hospitals.
Agreed that op added soo much spice to the story that the naive reader could get ulcer from, one thing was obvious: there are questions to be answered.
I don't subscribe to or believe in social media ranting, as it could be prejudiced and biased.
Pls if anyone thinks the doc who oversaw your condition didn't do well, write a petition to the medical council, it's free and you don't need a lawyer to do that .
People seem to get a hard on by shaming doctors. That's the new cool in town. Sadly.

I believe you are one of those quack doctors. come to ubth and see for yourself. anuofia.. useless doctors.

chnovpaul:
The fact remains, Nigerian health care system is in complete shambles.

I'll try to avoid pointing fingers, but the truth is that many Nigerians have died needless and completely avoidable deaths in Nigerian hospitals. I am sure the story here has been blown out of proportion, and no doctor will stand there and fold his/her hands with a patient in a critical state. But there is often no smoke without a fire. We may never know the true story because we weren't there.

Nonetheless, I once worked in the said hospital during my service year, and menh...I used to think that we had it worse in the south west. But with what I saw in that same hospital, a general hospital in the SW would beat that hospital hands down. I wonder how that hospital still remains a teaching hospital - a hospital that didn't start teaching anything until recently.

RIP to the dead. I hope this serves as a wake up call for Nigerians in general. It's high time we step up medical litigation cases, if that would make everyone accountable for their actions. But until everyone understands that it's their right to get and demand the best healthcare and not leave everything in the hands of God, things like this will continue.

Don't tribalize this issue.
I had worked in a specialist hospital in your SW and the situation there isn't anything to write home about.

I know people from your part can't resist taking a dig at my people, but this is a medical issue and this is dearth of medical facilities and man power across all Nigerian groups political zones, don't single out SE to make your own region feel better.

Thanks

You saw the girl's name on facebook, why not quietly go and direct her on the appropriate body to report to instead of condemning the faster and maybe the only medium she knows, which is the social media?

A student of ChukwuEmeka Odumegwu University COOU, Anambra named Sarah has narrated how her friend Okoro Oluchi died in the hands of quack doctors in COOU teaching hospital Amaku.Read the story on the screenshots below

Hmmm may her blessed soul rest in perfect peace. And may God gives her family and friends the fortitude to bear the loss.
However, I find this write up ridiculously mischievous and collectively acidulous.
Firstly, it is not the duty of a doctor or medical student to bill patients in any teaching hospital in Nigeria. This alone render your allegations null and void.
Secondly you used the words stupid multiple times, which shows you harbour resentment toward doctors and medical students
Thirdly you made a generalized assertion that the doctors there a quacks and unqualified. What is your yardstick of classifying doctors as qualified or non qualified.
Until you respond to the above questions, I consider your write up not only as null and void but a shameless attempt at tarnishing the image of the teaching hospital.
I rest my case.

with those signs of gradually not feeling her body parts anymore.plz docs in d house, what must have caused it?...

Am sorry your friend is dead. I pray God gives her family the fortitude to bear such a loss


Back to your post, it's pure unadulterated crap. You repeatedly lied to score points against the doctors. Quite a pity.

On getting to ANY TH even in Sambisa, vital signs are taken by d nurses and patient procures a folder. All emergency units have d facility to treat with unpaid folders but folders must be got for documentation. NO DOCTOR will ask you for money for folder (that's for d records guys) or materials for treatment (that's d nurses).

Despite your attempt to blame d doctors, no patient will stay at d emergency unit WITHOUT BEING seen. Just not possible even in sambisa. About payments, you have no health insurance. You got to pay for services rendered. sad but true

As for the "kill all Nigerian doctors gang" that ship has sailed. Nigerian doctors are leaving in droves. Since 2014, Nigeria has got d best results in MRCOG part 1 exams. Better than UK trained doctors in a UK based exam.

It's easy to blame the doctors. funny, the doctors blame themselves too: for still being in Nigeria

Save your online ranting for when you really need it in reality.
All your noise doesn't change a thing about us, doesn't even reduce my salary by a kobo. Doesn't that tell you something?

Fool.

Very sad! Unnecessary loss of life! Please take heart, may Oluchi’s soul rest in peace.
The Amaku care system you painted looks very bad! But that is almost representative of Nigeria’s health care system and, by extension, everything Nigerian, arguably. Not surprising, after all, every context in Nigeria has been poorly led!
From your description, it looks like the only doctors working in that hospital or accessible to patients are medical students! It also looks like those medical students did not know how to meet the most basic health needs of a person that has been admitted into their care! They also seem to lack the attitude and caring skills of healthcare workers! The ethical quality there seems to leave a lot to be desired! What’s more, your description is a clear indictment of Nigeria’s healthcare system!
That hospital clearly looks poorly led to say the least. Medical students can only perform certain tasks under supervision. So there should have been an experienced doctor (medical officer, resident doctor or consultant) teaching, guiding and providing direction to them. So where were the experienced doctors when Oluchi was admitted! Why was it a medical student that should ask for admission related fee?
Healthcare delivery should be collaborative. Your description did not give any hint that healthcare workers other than doctors were involved in her care. So were there no nurses in that ward or emergency unit where Oluchi was admitted! No ward manager, nursing sister or staff nurse there! Your tended to indicate that the medical students also did the morgue work taking her body out. Unfortunately your efforts to get her family involved were unsuccessful! But I doubt if those efforts were enough. Her school and school clinic should have started attempting to contact the family once she was admitted into the clinic and showed signs of a grave ill health!
Whatever was the underlying cause of her illness, a properly functioning facility would have sustained that lady’s health in my own opinion. From the description, Oluchi’s case was not likely complex. Simply people did not know what to do or did not have the things to work with or there was a failure in the systems process and leadership! Simply putting her in a comfortable/appropriate position, monitoring her closely, giving her iv fluids, oxygen and few rescue medications should have been used to buy time pending more advanced and specific treatment options. A good team work should have helped a lot. In a facility like that with seemingly no experienced doctors, having a well functioning and supported nursing team would have been enough to guarantee those initial interventions. Nursing input in that care was clearly missing. Were employed doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers on strike at that time!
Things need to change for this country to make a head way. In this Oluchi’s case, questions need to be asked, heads need to roll and people need to be fired!
Doctors who are leading Nigeria’s hospital and health ministry after lofty education should be ashamed of what is coming out of the health system that they run! They should come to their knees before the whole nation and beg for forgiveness for bringing shame on this country; that they cannot meet the most basic health care needs of the people, allowing Nigerians to die in their hands from simple medical issues! Nurses and other healthcare workers should hide their faces in shame that they have all allowed hospitals in Nigeria to be turned to where Nigerians are butchered! Nigerian educational stakeholders and professional regulators should cover their faces in shame for failing to ensure healthcare workers are properly taught! Nigerian masses, shame on you all for your gross failure to hold your leaders and healthcare workers accountable; shame on you for allowing your service providers to compromise on standards!

She must have reacted badly to the drugs this her friend and the other guy gave her earlier in the afternoon.
Drug reaction there.
Too bad those medical students failed in handling a very simple situation.
Circulatory failure.
