Doctors actually have the right to refuse treatment on the basis of personal assault. The doctor did no wrong

So if doctors aren't call "providers" . What do you suggest they should be called.

Every Profession got its hazard and we dont throw Ethic due to the Hazards.

Most engineers work off-site for days without support, in bad weather .

Will they complain - Yes

Should abandon their Job -NO

If Doctors can refuse to attend to patent, due to his/her attitude.

Then Bank CC and Telecoms CC can likewise do same .






You just missed the whole point of my first paragraph. There's a "doctor-patient relationship". Google it. Many components of this relationship are not compensation-dependent. So it's not a transactional relationship like the other examples you mentioned.
Like in the example I gave, is it likely that a customer's attitude will affect a banker's ability to solve the customer's problem? I think not. A patient's attitude can however affect the ability of a doctor to solve a patient's problem starting from getting adequate history, to informed consent for procedures right down to issues with treatment compliance. It's not as simplistic as you think it is. That's why I said some knowledge is more dangerous than no knowledge sometimes.

Why call doctors "providers" when you can just call them doctors? Same for nurses, pharmacists etc. This is a big issue in some countries right now because it simplifies the relationship I tried to show you above.

we shud not blame the doctor until we hear his side.i believe the doctor has a right to decide to attend or not.if his mind his disturb due to the argument he had with the lady.it cud affect his performance. nigerians want fast fast, no patience. there is something called emergency,if a case is not an emergency, the doctor is under no obligation to attend to you immediately. it happens even in Europe,u may even be told you have to get an appointment if the case is seen as not emergency. i assumed the doctor assessed the case and see it as not a life threatening case.i have once taken my child to an hospital in Europe, so much children were sick that weekend and the doctors were overstretched,i waited for 2 hours and cudnt see the doctor. the only thing was the nurse gave the child a pain relieve while we were waiting to see the doctor.at the end, i cudnt wait again because even the sick child got tired of waiting for doctor.we left for home and came back the next day which was a monday and so many doctors were on duty.so let's not blame the doctor,some time women boil when their kids are sick and want fast fast action .lol

I lost a close cousin due to what I think was medical negligence last week and oh, I'm a medical doctor too. So in all fairness, I think I'm a balanced person to comment on this
There's no doubt there are doctors who neglect their duties, in my cousin's case, I had to call the doctor on duty severally just for him to come do his job. In fact, more than on 3 occasions I've had to collect my cousin's blood samples myself( I work in the same hospital where he was admitted) cuz the doctor(s) treating him simply didn't do it despite having contacted them severally
My cousin died less than 48 hours after discharge from the hospital, so I can say it boldly he wasn't stable b4 discharge. Yes, there are doctors like that everywhere but truth be told, they're extremely few in number
What we experience in Nigeria is a total system failure
Before coming back to that woman, let me use where I work as an example. Many healthworkers( doctors, nurses, health assistants etc) in that hospital have never been paid ever since they've started working ( they're being owed 3-5 months salaries), some of this guys don't originally live in that state of employment and have had to make financial commitments towards their settling down in their new environment, they've had to eat and transport themselves to work for the duration of that gruelling financial constraints, yet they're expected to work and smile nicely? No, they won't, you'll see apathy written all over most of them. Just imagine yourself unconscious on the operating table of a doctor thinking about how to pay his rent or wards school fees, u see how you're rejecting it by fire by thunder? That's cuz u know that patient is extremely unlikely to wake up. I know this, cuz I'm one of the owed doctors. Believe me, u don't want to do this job of saving lives while barely living yourself without getting renumerated

Most delays u experience at times have nothing to do with doctors and nurses, this is another fact. Imagine 2 thousand patients visiting a hospital and their folders are to b sorted by 2 pple, iono what u think, to me that makes no sense, it's a total system failure that is no fault of any healthworker

And you see ehn! When I see people say doctors swore an oath, I just laugh.

Please what oath exactly?
Can u highlight what the contents of that oath means?
Do u know anything about the implications of each of its lines?
And do u know that the original funny oath u know has been abandoned by almost all developed countries and that Nigeria has long followed suite?

Do u know why it was abandoned?
Do u know that even the supposed new oath underwent modifications less than 2 years ago and it now adequately protect the doctor and gives him some rights?
Do u know why those modifications were necessary?


Well maybe u do, maybe u don't. In all honesty it doesn't matter. What matters is that the doctor, just like you is a human being and what he's dealing with, unlike you, is LIFE. He needs as much a clarity of mind as possible to do his job well and u talking to him disrespectfully, not to even mention outrightly insulting him, will take away that clarity. So in ur own best interest, until u have gotten another doctor to attend to you or your relatives, please don't talk trash to the one supposed to attend to you
And Yes! Patients' relatives are terrible to deal with at times. If u lack manners of confabulations and home training, please leave it at the hospital gate. You have a right to think about ur sick relative as much as the doctor does, otherwise,, it's only a matter of time b4 a doctor puts off his white coat to let unleash the community acquired madness of a typical Nigerian that resides under that coat.
In as much as the doctor swore an oath to protect lives, that oath didn't mandate him to protect all lives cuz even if he wants to, he simply can't play God. And that same oath has now CATEGORICALLY allowed him to neglect you/ your relatives u if act rude to him. All he needs do is add ur name or that of ur relatives to those he can't save.
And please before u ever in ur life insult any Nigerian doctor again, try read about Nigerian doctors in diaspora to know how much we contribute to the world in saner climes and understand how your country, aided by your over inflated ego and irascible, cocky, valveless oropharyngeal orifice is killing us

yes, and that oath was modified a few years ago to give me some protection. It is not by force to treat biko, if you cannot treat me like a fellow human being, i won't treat the patient like a human being.

The ignorance of many Nigeria makes me lose hope, i cannot spend my life treating people who think like this. I need to travel out ASAP and leave you all to your gbogbonise herbs, babalawos, chemists and health scammers. If anything happens to that kid, it is the mother's fault, not the doctor

The doctor has a right not to attend to any patient he or she feels not comfortable attending to.
There is no law forcing him to attend to the patient. He has that option. He has done nothing wrong.
Very true. If he attends to d child and something bad happens, d same woman wld rain fire and brimstone. I am not a doctor, but I think I understand d doctor's angle.

Like I keep telling people, a health worker may choose not to attend to a physically, verbally, sexually abusive patient or client. No wrong done here. Many Patients these days are just sheer arrogant and overtly rude. No sense of courtesy at all.

How do you know that the child was actually sick? A lot of parents bring their well children to the hospital just because they're worried. A hospital is a very busy place. Healthcare workers are trained to focus on those who need help the most first and foremost.
i cannot believe u just said that? why would a mother bring a well child to d hospital at d first place? it is impossible for a mother to bring her child to hospital knowing fully well that the child is fine. hospital being a very busy place is not an excuse o. And how can they focus on those who need help without doing tests first? haba?

I can only laugh at your ignorance. How can they know who needs help without doing test first. You actually cracked me up. Honestly, what do you think doctors spent 7yrs learning in school and another 7yrs doing residency? Yes a mother can bring a baby that just need paracetamol to the hospital. We are not blaming her. But she must understand that the doctor will attend to those with convulsions first even if she had spent 3hrs there before they brought the one with convulsion. And hospital being a busy place is not an excuse.....but that is not the fault of the doctor. You think he must die because he want to attend to you? He will only do his own and leave the rest.
